To Catch a Pirate by Jade Parker6/8/2023 Observing Annalisa attempt to try and retain some shred of her manners and moral compass, whilst James crossed every line he could think of was quite uniquely funny. I wanted to reach into the book and rock the boat, effectively knocking the pair of them together because that was all it would take. But at the same time I was terribly annoyed (as any reader would be) at seeing them fight what was so obvious to me. I couldn't help but find comical how they sent verbal jabs at each other about manners and education. Watching Annalisa and James was as much fun as it was irritating. Delightfully on the egde between politeness and plain-and-simple bad manners, courteous and outright rude it was absolutely great! To Catch A Pirate is what you would get had Jane Austen ever met a pirate, and decided to write about them. When the highborn lady Annalisa Townsend has her first kiss stolen from her by a pirate, in exchange for not taking her necklace, something snaps in her and all the manners and good upbringing will not stop her from getting her own back on the seafaring perpetrator. I soon found out that Annalisa Townsend wasn't quite the damsel in distress I thought she might be. Like most girls, I am guilty of having a slight weakness for simple damsel in distress books with a historical background. What initially attracted me to this book was the simple and refined cover, and the synopsis.
