Pirates

Always loved swashbucklers ever since seeing Louis Jordan wielding his sword in those old black and white movies when I was young. This book reminded me of Captain Blood, the old Errol Flynn movie. Still love those kind of movies and books like this one that bring back the romance of an other wise brutal era on the high seas. Duncan Rourke is a wonderful character; handsome, dangerous, and romantic. Then there is the the swashbuckling, the sword play and fighting. Of course, Pirates includes the romance that we all have dreamed about as little girls. Since it's during the American Revolution and Duncan Rourke is a privateer, that means the British aren't giving up without a fight. Really liked this story...think I'll settle in later and show more reread Pirates. show less

Time Travel romance - which was pretty good in the 1700's part of the book - and you definitely just had to suspend disbelief at the clunky going back and forth between present day and the 1700's pirate's day

I kept scratching my head and thinking to myself why does this storyline sound so familiar? Was it the hero's scarred back from a flogging by a sadistic English officer? Or maybe it was because a 20th century woman goes back 200 years in time only to find love and romance and then returns to her present time, pregnant with her 18th century husband's child - but then rejoins him again two hundred years earlier? Sheesh!
