Jackson’s Treasure – I enjoyed AJ’s Ireland, my first book by this author, so much that I found a copy of this book, which I had gotten through Bookfunnel or Instafreebie, I think. I couldn't put this book down, it was so entertaining. Well written, delightful, heartwarming and funny with interesting characters and a story line that keeps the reader involved as the pages swiftly reach the end. Added, after the story, is an excerpt from a president of the Louisiana Historical Society about Jean Lafitte, which itself is interesting.
I had problems with the formatting in this book, too. The page number appears in a sentence with the author or title after it. Regardless of how I adjusted the page and font, I couldn't get it corrected. Hopefully, it’s just the free copy since there’s no cover.
AJ’s Ireland – Just needing something different to read, my friend and I selected her copy of this cute little book since Irish stories are always interesting to us American Paddies. The little girl is adorable; the family typical; and the story entertaining. It’s an interesting, lighthearted story worth the hour to read it, even quicker without the extra person sharing the book.
I don’t know if the our Kindle copy was improperly formatted – page numbers and author’s name or title in the middle of the page and sentence – making it difficult to read properly. Also, a few misused and misspelt words didn’t help either. There’s a preview of another book Saving Sailor, but it’s difficult to understand where it begins, so we stopped reading. I will read more of this author’s books.
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."
Enjoy the voyage as this romantic comedy erupts upon stormy seas...
