Daughter of the Pirate King (Daughter of the Pirate King, #1)

by Tricia Levenseller

If you want something done right...

When her father, the ruthless Pirate King, discovers that a legendary treasure map can be found on an enemy ship, his daughter, Alosa, knows that there's only one pirate for the job—herself. Leaving behind her beloved ship and crew, Alosa deliberately facilitates her own kidnapping to ensure her welcome on the ship. After all, who's going to suspect a girl locked in a cell...

But Alosa has skills enough for any three pirates, and has yet to meet her match. Although she has to admit that the surprisingly perceptive and unfairly attractive first mate, Riden, the lucky pirate charged with finding out all her secrets, comes the closest. Now it's down to a battle of wits and will...

Can Alosa find the map before Riden figures out her plan?

Fun and witty quick read. A bit heavy on exposition and a bit repetitive (like you don’t have to say, “back on my ship - the Ava-lee” when you’ve told us the name of your ship a couple of times before.)

But Riden and Alosa’s banter makes up for a lot. Riden, especially, is an interesting character even if he’s not as complicated or confusing as Alosa makes him out to be. Alosa is interesting in her ferocity and layered in her pirate ways. They actually do a fairly impressive job of carrying pretty much the whole book.
