A pirate desperate to lead an honest life. An executive who falls through time. One last chance to right the wrongs of the past.
Bahamas, 1718. Captain James “Prince” Barrow is tired of being a pirate and wants to settle down. As a noble, he never envisioned the life of an outlaw as his own and wants to appease his treasure-hungry crew before they mutiny him due to their lack of patience. … of patience. Luckily, James has two clues that will lead him to treasure his fellow pirate captain buried on his behalf. In order to attain the third one, James must attend a fancy ball he is sure to be recognized at.
He needs a companion – one who will help him blend in with high society.
Bahamas, 2020. As a New York executive, vacation is not in Samantha Gilbert’s vocabulary. Not that her best friend cares. Samantha is dragged to Nassau, Bahamas after a nasty breakup and visits a pirate museum. The tour guide shares a tragic tale of a pirate who died before finding his long-lost treasure. andHe insists on Samantha trying on a jade necklace from that very treasure. Once the cool metal touches her skin, Samantha is taken back through time – straight into the arms of the pirate himself.
The two strike a bargain: if she helps him find the third clue, he’ll allow her to put on the jade necklace from the treasure and get her back to the twenty-first century.
With the English hot on their trail and death a near certainty, both are forced to work together not only to uphold their bargain, but to survive. And with time running out, both could very well lose the thing they desire most: each other.

Lively time travel to save a handsome pirate

I felt this was a great time travel adventure and packed a very solid story into a small package. Action-packed with a build up to late steam, a determined modern woman and a basically decent pirate captain who’s trying to rebuild his life after betrayal by a scheming woman. I got pretty fond of this wary pirate. I am a fan of Mariah Stone’s novel-length Viking time travel romances and, though this was a good deal shorter, it’s still full of emotion, difficult decisions and great protagonists, though the cameo snake did creep me out a bit!
I read a complimentary advance copy of the story; this is my voluntary and honest review.
The story line was great, the character work was terrific and the book had a good flow to it. This was a great start to a new series. I am eagerly waiting to see what happens in the next book.

A swash-bucking pirate and a business lady from the future?
I love a good pirate tale and when you combine it with time-travel romance it really keeps me engaged. That is this tale Samantha get pulled to the past when placing a necklace around her neck and lands right into our pirate’s arms. Captain Barrow would like nothing more than to settle down but he must finish this last treasure hunt. There is wonderful action, adventure and romance in this piece and not till the end do you what will happen and even then there is a bit of a cliffhanger. This was a first-rate piece that I am happy to recommend.
This story sets the scene for the two book series. I really enjoy Mariah’s time travel tales and by including pirates this time, she has outdone herself. The characters in this book both have pasts that make them afraid to trust people, but when they are brought together, can they put their hurts behind them and work together to find the required clue. This is a great story.
Samantha is on a girl’s trip in the Caribbean and comes across a replica of a jade necklace with voodoo properties that was hunted by Captain James “Prince” Barrow. Turns out it might not have been such a replica after all when she finds herself suddenly transported into the chambers of his pirate ship. He’s skeptical about her claims of time travel, but needs her help if he’s to obtain the last clue to the location of a hidden treasure chest. After all their adventures, will Samantha really want to go back to her own time and will James be willing to let her go?
The action and adventure tend to take precedence over the romance, but the heat’s definitely there if you’ve got a bit of patience. Given how short the book is, you don’t have to hold out long. For a pirate, James certainly has a kind heart, but that’s what endears him to Samantha. She’s a competent woman and totally holds her own despite the insanity of her situation. They each have legitimate reasons for being hesitant about love and it makes their growing connection all the sweeter. I only wish it had been longer so as to give even more depth to their love story.

Ahoy matey
Wow! This story grabs a hold of you right from the beginning. The author weaves a tale so believable that you’ll feel like you’re right there taking every step right along with Samantha and James. It does appear odd to James that Samantha uses what she knows to help him, but he is suspicious. Then there’s her life in the future that she is determined to return to. She makes a bargain with James so that she can go back. But the hardest thing for both of them is learning to trust each other with their hearts. Oh this story is so very romantic that it’ll make you swoon.

A swash-bucking, adventurous, and heartwarmingly unique MUST-READ Pirate Romance!
PIRATE’S TREASURE, the beginning of another series by the RONE Award-winning author Mariah Stone is a marvelous slow-burn romantic romp through time that weaves itself into the very sinew of a reader. Holding one’s attention until the series Called by a Pirate becomes more a promise than a destination. In PIRATE’S TREASURE Samantha, an independent New York businesswoman, visits the City of Pirates Museum with her best friend during a trip the two have taken to help Lisa overcome the devastation she feels from being dumped by her fiancé. While at the museum, the young women pause at a display of the portraits of two very handsome swashbucklers. What happens after is so full of heart-stopping adventure and heart-warming romance, readers can’t help but fall in love, experience the chemistry, and feel the heat as James and Samantha find each other. With a grip so fascinating, mind-boggling, and difficult to describe it is impossible to release PIRATE’S TREASURE’S hold until the last word is consumed. Then all a reader can focus upon is the answer to the question, “When is the next Called by a Pirate novella going to be published?!?” The good news, PIRATE’S TREASURE, the second novella in this fantastic series will go live on Amazon on July 5th, 2020! Less than two weeks to wait to hear what befalls Lisa, Samantha’s best friend. I jumped at the opportunity to read an early copy of PIRATE’S TREASURE and then purchased a pre-order of it and PIRATE’S TREASURE, too! Despite the novella length, I had to give PIRATE’S TREASURE a 5-STAR rating as its swashbuckling romance, and entertainment value was too perfect to only have the usual stars usually given a novella-length story. This is my VOLUNTARY and HONEST review of PIRATE’S TREASURE. I STRONGLY suggest you purchase your copy of PIRATE’S TREASURE today! Happy pages!
Pirates treasure called to my heart. Samantha and James are wonderful characters whose pasts grab your heart.
This was a quick read and although I did enjoy the story, I felt the characters were under developed and everything happens so fast, you don’t really have time to relish the story. I guess that’s what happens when it’s a short story!
Samantha is a modern woman who has sealed her heart against love and James is from the past, a pirate who wants to settle down and has also been hurt in love. When she travels back in time, she finds herself on James’ ship and before she knows it, she’s helping him find the treasure he’s looking for and at the same time it will change the course of his future. Everything takes place within 2 days so as I said, it all happens very fast!
