Kidnapped by the Pirate by Keira Andrews

I will say that although Nathaniel was Hawk's prisoner, he wasn't forced into was more a matter of him deciding take advantage of his situation before he is ransomed back to his father and forced to marry a woman for her dowry. The book description gives a pretty good rundown of how the story begins so I wont give more details that might spoil the story. Hawk and his crew were forced to become pirates because of this treachery. Hawk and his crew were screwed over by a evil man (Nathaniel's father) that wrongly invalidated his contract and proclaimed him a criminal to steal his bounty. Hawk used to be a good man and Captain of a Privateer ship, legally operating under contract from the crown. Nathaniel has always had a longing for men but kept his preference hidden because it's considered a sin (as well as a crime punishable by death). He grew up in England and had schooling but always had issues with reading and always prefered a more physical lifestyle than what was considered proper for someone of his station. Nathaniel is the son of a Governor over an island colony in the new world. I liked both Nathaniel and Hawk and enjoyed their story and how they came together in the end.

The crew has been promised the ransom Nathaniel will bring, yet as danger mounts and the time nears to give him up, Hawk's biggest battle could be with his own heart.Ĥ stars This was a very good story. As a pirate's prisoner, he is finally free to be his true self. Nathaniel realizes the fearsome Sea Hawk's reputation is largely invented, and he sees the lonely man beneath the myth, willingly surrendering to his captor body and soul. It's not as though Hawk would ever feel anything for him besides lust. Although Hawk knows he must keep his distance, the desire to teach Nathaniel the pleasure men can share grows uncontrollable. Yet as days pass in close quarters, Nathaniel's feisty spirit and alluring innocence beguile and bewitch. He has a score to settle with Nathaniel's father - the very man whose treachery forced him into piracy - and he's sure Nathaniel is just as contemptible. Then pirates strike and he's kidnapped for ransom by the Sea Hawk, a legendary villain of the New World.īitter and jaded, Hawk harbors futile dreams of leaving the sea for a quiet life, but men like him don't deserve peace. Under the thumb of his controlling father, the governor of Primrose Isle, he's sailing to the fledging colony, where he'll surrender to a respectable marriage for his family's financial gain. Nathaniel Bainbridge is used to hiding, whether it's concealing his struggles with reading or his forbidden desire for men. Will a virgin captive surrender to this pirate's sinful touch?
