In 1720, it’s a pirate’s life for Abigail Clear, daughter of a notorious colonial pirate captain…But when a rival crew invades Abigail’s ship, she is taken prisoner. Now aboard the enemy vessel, she must contend with its formidable captain. But who is the real captive?Locked away in the belly of The Indomitable is no place for a woman…Captain James Morrow is more than displeased to discover … woman…
Captain James Morrow is more than displeased to discover his sole captive to be none other than an untamable young lass who will earn him no bounty. Yet if he can soften the little rogue, she just might switch her loyalties to him, and reveal the whereabouts of the infamous thief who sired her–and his stolen treasure. But two can play that game, as Abi is equally inclined to charm the dogged sailor off her father’s tail.
Might she and Captain Morrow run the risk of falling for their own charades?
They dance about their disguises as genuine developing emotions clash against deeper motives, and suspicion runs high. When the captain finally steals a first kiss, Abi decides it’s high time to make her escape–fleeing not only his vessel, but her fondness for the man who intends to see her father hang.
The high seas heat up as Captain Morrow’s quest to recapture Abi is halted by her pirate father, Captain Clear. Will James succeed in pursuit of his captive love, or will his desires conspire to make him a captive himself?

Fun Pirate Romance
I’ll admit that pirate romance fiction is not my go-to choice for romance, but this author put up a variety of subgenres of genre fiction at one of my favorite book review sites. I was curious to see how an author could juggle so many different types of fiction. I have to say that I really enjoyed this particular book. The tone, voice, and vibe conveyed remind me of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Abi’s a great heroine, strong and feisty. While I wasn’t sure about the hero at first, he grew on me. I was impressed by the scope of knowledge that the author seems to have about piracy, privateering, and all the parts of a ship of these times. I found this to be a fun read.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
In 1720, Abigail Clear is the captive of Privateer Captain James Morrow. However, Abi is disguised as a cabin boy. Capturing the Captain is an action-packed fun read I recommend.

Abigail Clear is the daughter of a pirate captain. She has lived her life on the sea. As always, the ship is invaded and Abigail is taken as a prisoner. Captain James Morrow wants nothing more than to find the gold that was taken from him. He has plans on seducing Abigail to obtain this information. She plans on seducing him into letting her go. The 2 play this dangerous game. Soon feelings are questioned. Is it possible that love has bloomed or is this all part of a master plan?
An interesting read on pirates, romance, and missing treasures. I enjoyed reading the period piece. I have not read anything on pirates before (have only watched them in movies). It was entertaining with the right amount of romance.

Very entertaining piece.
Yo Ho it is the pirate life for Abigail but wouldn’t you know she is taken captive and now is the prisoner of Captain James Morrow. But guess what gang the jokes on him because she will not increase his wealth. Trying to use his charms to have her change side I am not so sure he thought this one out after all he wants to capture her father. This one was very entertaining with some exciting action toward the end of the book. I just loved the characters and the author’s writing style. I also have book two so I cannot wait to read that one next. An excellent book that I highly recommend I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Entertaining!
It always amuses me when the hero starts out to win the trust of the heroine (for whatever reason) and he gets trapped by his own plot by the innocent maiden.
This is exactly what happens in this lovely, amusing, well written and exciting story and I loved everything about it.
Anneliese Rennie does a good job with her narration and you can clearly tell each character from the voices she uses.
I listened to a promotional copy of the audiobook and my voluntary and unbiased review is above.
