Books for a Pirate
By Jane • Sep 19th, 2007 • Category: Publishing News • •
It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Recommendations anyone? I know Jayne is particularly found of Marsha Canham’s, The Iron Rose. The most recent pirate/privateer book I recall reading was Jane Feather’s Almost a Lady. Other Pirate related books:
- The Pirate Next Door by Jennifer Ashley
- River Lady by Jude Deveraux
- The Windflower by Tom and Sharon Curtis
Anyone have recommendations for a good pirate adventure? (More pirate related titles at Likes Books.)
Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

Darlene Marshall’s ebooks Captain Sinister’s Lady and Pirate’s Price. I also like her Smuggler’s Bride, which isn’t a pirate book per se, but is peopled with some ex-pirates.
I enjoy Mrs. Marshall’s pirate books and have done reviews of all of them.
I particularly liked Once A Pirate by Susan Grant.
An oldie: The Charm School by Susan Wiggs.
Is there piracy in The Charm School? I loved the book but although it took place on board a ship I don’t think there were pirates in it.
Kinley McGregor has a couple of pirate romances. One was good and the other was a shocker, but they’re out there!
Katherine O’Neal’s Master of Paradise.
I know this is an old post about pirates but for any other pirate lovers that happen to come along Mad Kestrel, by Misty Massey, is a pretty hot pirate book. Not a romance genre, but there are some sparks that fly.
