![Jackson's Treasure: Romance erupts on stormy seas by [Riva, Renee]](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51FaIr7TAlL._SY346_.jpg)
This is the second book I’ve received (for free) for an honest review by this author. While I liked the first one, I liked this one much more. It’s most likely because it had a historical setting, and I feel like I haven't read/listened to a historical…anything in a good while. This was a cute story overall!
The narrator did an okay job. It was obvious he was reading, which is unfortunate, but he did pretty good with the variety of voices for each character. I did find his French accent kind of funny though.
Questions/Comments:
I found it strange that with Peyton’s first time on the ship, Captain Jackson doesn’t want his crew to know she’s there, yet he sleeps with them…instead of in how own room. Wouldn’t that have tipped them off that something was going on?
How big was the crate that Peyton was inside on her final stowaway voyage? It sounded huge, which made it also sound unbelievable.
Product Description
When Peyton Abercrombie runs away from an arranged betrothal, she is soon discovered by Captain Jackson Lafitte stowing away aboard the Mon Cherisse.
"Did you say your last name is Lafitte?" Peyton glanced around the Captain's cabin. "Oh my goodness; a sword, a crew of uncultured men, barrels and barrels of who knows what all…you, Captain, are a pirate! ....I am on a pirate ship!"
"I prefer to call it a cargo ship," Jackson replied, "and I'm sorry to inform you that you won't be staying."
"Oh, please let me stay—I promise I won't be any trouble." Peyton looked longingly into Jackson's eyes with a silent plea.
Jackson sighed, knowing it was a crazy request. "I'll take you as far as Grand Isle—but that's it."
"Truly?"
"You'll have to stay hidden until we dock." Jackson glanced around the cabin. " I'll sleep in the bunk room with the men. Where are you planning to sleep?"
"The top bunk here looks fine to me."
"That's Sinbad's bed."
"Who's Sinbad?"
"My cat."
"Your cat? Pirates don't have cats, they have parrots. What kind of pirate are you, anyway?"
Peyton received a pair of raised eyebrows, strongly suggesting that she was pushing her luck.
"Oh, fine, I'll sleep with your cat."
