Miss Minerva's Pirate Mishap: Sweet Regency Romance

Good intro to the series The characters were well done and each distinct. The plot was enjoyable and ... not completely unbelievable. I love that there is a bit of a mystery that is not solved, but left to be added to in the next books in the series.

An enjoyable Regency romance with adventure, humour and a feisty heroine, this first book in a new series kept my attention and made me laugh out loud. Having five daughters does not soften Captain Jones in the least and he leads his family with the same military precision as he does his naval crew. Minerva is the timekeeper and in charge, having to ensure that her sisters complete their regimen timeously, including their daily constitutional, which is what alerts Minerva to the fact that there is something going on in her cave, the one she calls her own. In a daring move, Minerva slips out of the house after dark to investigate the cave and meets the charming rogue Marcus Haversaw, if that is in fact his real name. Despite appearances, Minerva recognises that Marcus is telling the truth when he asks for her help, but the stolen kisses are what set her aflame. This delightful story is well written and adventurous, coming to a surprising conclusion. Although it is a standalone, it does open the way for Minerva's sisters, each of them unique in their own way, to have their story. I received a copy of this novel as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
