Once a Pirate: (a two-time Golden Heart Finalist) Lieutenant Carly Callahan crashes her fighter jet into the greatest battle of her life–two centuries before she was born. Rescued by a pirate captain, she learns she’s the pawn in his plan to exact revenge against his sworn enemy.
Outlaw nobleman Andrew Spencer has one goal: to ruin the man who destroyed his life. But the strangely garbed blonde he hoists onto his deck not only refuses to admit she’s his highborn target, but insists she’s from another century entirely. The more time they spend together, the more he wants to believe her talk of flying machines and the future. Her bravery and fire is enough to melt his cold heart and convince him to reconsider his plans.
A desperate bid to fulfill their dream of a life together is their only option . . . if they can find each other again through time.

Contact: (RITA® Award Winner)
When First Officer Jordan Cady’s 747 is snatched from the sky by an immense UFO, she must put aside her own fears and take charge, exactly what the single mother of a six-year old daughter knows how to do. With no power or communications to the plane, Jordan and her crew are far from understanding who–or what–has hijacked them, until an envoy is sent to deliver unthinkable news.
Kào Vantaar-Moray expected gratitude and not defiance from the woman pilot-commander. No matter how hard he tries to convince her that his people saved her and hundreds of her passengers from certain death, he can’t erase her suspicion that in the eyes of those on Earth her aircraft has vanished without a trace. The more involved he becomes with Jordan, the more his loyalties are torn. He owes his ship commander respect, and his very life, but a new life beckons with Jordan–if he can save her and her people before a heartless enemy reveals its true intentions.

The Legend of Banzai Maguire: (Winner of the Prism Award)
The revolution begins . . .
The year: 2016. While flying a peacekeeping mission over North Korea, Air Force pilot Bree “Banzai” Maguire is shot down. Instead of the North Korean troops she expected, she finds herself captured by a mad scientist and put in bio-stasis. When she wakes, everything has changed. It’s 2176, the world is in crisis, and she is a hotly contested prize. Once, Banzai’s job was to protect democracy; now a mysterious voice claims she must bring it back.
The year: 2176. U.C.E. Commander Ty Armstrong is a decorated SEAL, combat veteran, and part-time treasure hunter. Seeking one elusive prize has become a personal obsession for him: Banzai Maguire, who was never found after her mysterious disappearance 160 years earlier. His quest to find her remains takes him into enemy territory where he discovers that not only is she very much alive, he might have already fallen in love with her. But before he can bring her to safety, they’re captured by the charming, yet ruthless, Emperor of Asia. Ty vows to escape with Banzai at his side. But his captor has other plans for him–and for Banzai Maguire.
“If Grant’s fighter jet descriptions don’t snag readers from the outset, her fierce, funny, tough-as-nails heroine will.” — Publishers Weekly

I just loved this bookset. It was so well-written that it captured my mind and I was dragged along for the ride. Once I started reading I could not put it down until I read the last page.
The characters are well developed and engaging and the chemistry is undeniable in each book. Kudos to the author on how well each storyline was written and flowed smoothly.

Three of Susan Grant’s best books together in one set! I loved every one of these strong women and the men who fell in love with them: a man from the past, an alien officer and a SEAL from the future. Love was able to find them no matter where they were and bound them together.

This box set is so much fun to read.
In ‘Once A Pirate’, Carly gave me the giggle as she engaged he pirate with her modern slang.
In ‘Contact’, Jordan kept her cool as she dealt with alien abduction and her quest to get home to her little girl.
In ‘The Legend of Banzai Maguire’, imagine being kidnapped and then waking to being a living legend?
Each of the story were enthralling, the connection between heroes and heroines was intense. I think readers of S.E. Smith or Harmony Raines would enjoy these tales.
If you are knew to Susan Grant, this would be a great collection to start with.
This is a fun sci-fi box set.. I loved it! It is both romance and adventure… Fantastic characters and the stories are endless delight..

Susan Grant has boxed this set and it is superb. Everyone of these books is written for those of us who love sci-fi and romance in one. This offers slow burn romances and a bit of time travel. Susan has done it and you will love this set. It is interesting and will hook you all the way through. It is intriguing and well thought out and will make you happy. I really enjoyed this set.

Fast-action and intrigue are thrown together in this box set for your enjoyment. The highlight of these books are the feisty, strong, confident female characters who will capture the hearts of their men – an arrogant sea pirate, a gruff alien officer, and a futuristic SEAL — and keep them in line! Included are the titles: Once a Pirate, Contact, and The Legend of Banzai Maguire.
The fast pacing works well with the events occurring throughout the stories, keeping the reader “pumped up” and excited at what direction they will go off in next. Grab your copy and enjoy the thrill.
Women power in spades.
What an entertaining, unexpected, and amazing collection. I read “Once a Pirate” back in 2018 but the other two books were new for me and I enjoyed every minute I spent reading. Ms. Grant has a wonderful way of bringing life to her characters and making a sci-fi fantasy so believable. The tales have the steam, the action, intrigue, and suspense that will keep you glued to your seat. These are pieces I will re-visit again and again. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Simply the best
This is a 3-pack of stories by the indomitable Susan Grant. I just want to say, I could subsist on Susan Grant novels alone!
Once a Pirate
This novel stars a female fighter pilot who, as her plane crashes, travels back in time, and is captured by a handsome pirate and his crew. I loved how this story built the romance so incrementally (no wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am here), with a solid base of mutual respect and trust (eventually, initially the amount of distrust was epic). Such a magical story.
Contact
This novel has won, count them, twelve awards, and it’s deserving of every one of them. Such an amazing cast of characters, and you doubt and question and love right along with the main character, Jordan. It’s so heart wrenching, the way they both she and her daughter both never give up and mourn the lost of each other. And the romance between Jordan and Kao is something you just can’t help but root for, against all odds.
The Legend of Banzai Maguire
So much goodness! The last novel in this is the first in the 2176 duet. It stars Banzai Maguire, who gets cryofrozen for 160 years, only to be reawakened to a very different world. Such a complex novel; you never really know which side to root for, or which guy she should be with. The final escape scene is so tense and dramatic, and it sets up the next novel, The Scarlet Empress, so well… I just have to get my hands on that book to see how it all ends!
Ten out of ten, would DEFINITELY recommend.
A wonderful smorgasbord of three unrelated books that all feature women pilots as the protagonist. All the women are strong and resourceful–no weak ninnies in the bunch! And they all fall out of the sky……
In Once a Pirate, the protagonist falls into the past & is fished out of the ocean by a pirate ship. Of course, they think she is touched in the head. She begins to fall in love with the pirate captain, but will she be yanked back to her time & be separated from him?
Contact is my favorite. It’s humanity’s first encounter with an alien civilization with superior technology. Not only is the situation stressful, but there are some nefarious goings-on that are not obvious. Who are the good guys? Try to figure out the puzzle…
In The Legend of Banzai Maguire, our protagonist is put into cryostasis in 2016. She wakes up in 2176, and Hoo Boy! It’s not the same world! Find out why she becomes a “legend.”
Don’t miss this! The romances are wonderful, and this compilation is a HUGE bargain for 913 pages!

Heart-pounding, imaginative, suspenseful…
Susan Grant at her best beckons and tantalizes the reader to engage in heart-pounding, imaginative, suspenseful adventures and romance. The heroines and heroes are attractive, gutsy, fearless, achievers who overcome life circumstances to live as victors not victims. Most impressive!
Once a Pirate is my favorite of the three books. Grabbing my attention from the outset, it is an ingenious, not cookie cutter, time travel romance. Unpredictable on a number of levels and so well-written, you’ll think you are experiencing a real sea battle! On another note, it is almost a guilty pleasure to observe the chemistry between Carly, a modern day jet pilot, and Andrew, a pirate sea captain as they dance around their attraction for one another in the 1800s aboard a pirate ship. I blushed a lot.
Contact was a difficult read at first while the characters developed and setting explained. But then, wow! The story took off and I was hooked. We can’t help but root for Jordan and Kao amidst the deceptions and circumstances. Be sure to ask yourself who is the true savior and who is the real captive. Susan outdid herself on this one.
The Legend of Banzai is one I read before and thoroughly enjoyed reacquainting with Bree (Banzai) and Ty again. I love this book. Susan draws us into the world of 2176 still consumed with world tensions and the human condition albeit served up with a different façade and extraordinary gadgets. Love those gadgets. How Ty and Bree fall in love embraces many hold-your-breath and heart pounding challenges. I felt I ran a marathon by the time I finished this book. It was worth it. Thanks Susan.
Wink, wink…all three heroines are jet pilots like Susan.

Sky Fall is a 3 book box of action-packed, intriguing, suspenseful and steamy page-turning stories you won’t be able to put down!
Once a Pirate
Nobleman turned pirate captain Andrew Spencer kidnaps the beautiful Lady Amanda for ransom. Andrew starts falling for the maddening lady, who insists she’s Carly Callahan from 200 years in the future. What happens when Carly destroys all doubt Andrew had and he realises Carly could vanish into the future?
Contact
Ship’s officer Kào Vantaar-Moray has no interest in anything after his years of captivity at the hands of the evil Talagars … that is, until he meets the enchanting Jordan Cady, pilot turned leader of the Earth refugees. Kào wants a future with Jordan but will the worst kind of betrayal rip them apart?
The Legend of Banzai Maguire
US Air Force pilot Bree “Banzai” Maguire wakes up 160 years after she was shot down and put in biostasis to learn that the world is now a much different place. Bree is caught between SEAL Tyler Armstrong and Crown Prince Kyber. If Bree exchanges Kyber’s protection for Tyler’s shaky promises, will she jump from the proverbial frying pan into the fire? Note: this story ends on a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to read The Scarlet Empress, Book 2 of the 2176 Freedom Series.
