Best Pirate Romances!

Who doesn’t love a good pirate or privateer story? All that capturing, swashbuckling and romancing on the high seas—oh yes! Gets my blood boiling just thinking about it. Here’s my list of those I have rated 4 or 5 stars. Some do not have pirates as such, but may have a swashbuckling sea captain or a privateer.

And, if you want to read a seafaring adventure with a British privateer hero, you might enjoy my novels, To Tame the Wind and Wind Raven. Both feature a pirate and a lusty sea captain. And for a pirate’s second chance at love, try Echo in the Wind with the dashing Jean Donet, comte de Saintonge. Ah yes, love on the High Seas!
