He really didn't have to, even though he continually acts like he was forced to do it. I just couldn't get over the fact that he kidnapped her in the first place. And, the book was enjoyable enough that I didn't want to put it down. Julia Quinn writes great dialogue that is smart and funny every time. I should rate this book a 4 or 5 because the writing is so good. Although, like all of Julia Quinn's stories, this one doesn't have much of a plot outside of a cute romance between these two.Īll in all, this was one of (I thought) the better books connected to the Bridgertons. Poppy and Andrew were adorable, and like all of Julia Quinn's couples, they had a nice back and forth banter going on between them. Well, he is but he's only doing it so he can chat up informants or smuggle documents.Īnd Poppy? Well, she's a young lady who's a bit bored with her place in life, so while she isn't exactly happy that her reputation is possibly being ruined, she's definitely going to soak up the adventure when and where she can. See, Andrew isn't really a privateer, either. Now, this is a Kidnapped By A Pirate romance I can get behind.Įven though technically Andrew was a privateer and not a pirate.īut from the beginning, there are no rapey undertones because Andrew is sort of forced into keeping her on board his ship after she stumbles onto his stash of loot that could compromise his mission for the Crown. But when Andrew’s secret is revealed, will his declaration of love be enough to capture her heart…?

On the high seas, their war of words soon gives way to an intoxicating passion. When Andrew learns that she is a Bridgerton, he knows he will likely have to wed her to avert a scandal-though Poppy has no idea that he is the son of an earl and neighbor to her aristocratic cousins in Kent. But no, she is very real-and his duty to the Crown means he’s stuck with her.Ĭan two wrongs make the most perfect right? Surely, his imagination is getting the better of him. Setting sail on a time-sensitive voyage to Portugal, he’s stunned to find a woman waiting for him in his cabin.

Known to society as a rascal and reckless privateer, Captain Andrew James Rokesby actually transports essential goods and documents for the British government. But her delight turns to dismay when two pirates kidnap her and take her aboard a ship, leaving her bound and gagged on the captain’s bed… While visiting a friend on the Dorset coast, Poppy is pleasantly surprised to discover a smugglers’ hideaway tucked inside a cave. Sadly, none of the fools from her London season qualify.

Fiercely independent and adventurous, Poppy Bridgerton will only wed a suitor whose keen intellect and interests match her own.
