Funny and Sweet Pirate Story Not to be Missed!

This is the first time I have had he pleasure of reading this relatively new author's work. I am a huge fan of Sandra Hill, Dara Joy and Julie Garwood, all humorous writers and I must say that Kinley MacGregor is on my list now! Her humor is just what I search endlessly for in a romance novel and have a hard time finding. Only a few authors measure up to par and she is not to be missed!!!~The dreaded Sea Wolf, he stops English navy ships and frees impressed American sailors. He is a true patriot, revered by so many Americans when America is so new and full of fire. But few know Morgan Drake's name and identity and even fewer know of is dark past...until a determined and very nosy reporter named Serenity James writes an article that seems to have sealed his fate. So he set sail for Savannah, and to find the nosy reporter known as S.S. James. Morgan would set HIM straight...Serenity has longed for adventure all her life, but as a woman, she is lucky enough to have been given the chance to try at her dream of becoming a writer when her father gives her a job at the newspaper. No women wrote, much less read in 1793, so why was she any different? She was an unmarried 24 year old spinster, but she didn't care. Her idol was none other than early feminist, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and her father is horrified! She should be inside sewing and giggling like an idiot! Not for Serenity James! She wanted independance and notariety and to be an equal! She also longed for a life packed with romance and adventure, but that would never happen...until the day she finds herself kidnapped by a sexy and bold pirate, the very pirate who she wrote about! Her hero! Who could ask for anything more?!The Sea Wolf, a noble and brave patriot kidnaping HER, a 24 year old spinster who reads and writes like a man! This could not happen in her wildest dreams! Soon she begins to hound him for an interview and sparks fly when these two get together!I loved this funny and romantic tale of mistaken Fate and a pirate whose dark past leaves him feeling hopeless until a brave and bold woman sweeps in and saves him. Some of the scenes in this book left me laughing into tears! I am an avid reader of pirate romance, but this has to be one the BEST I have come across! A pirate who is funny and sexy! What a breathtaking combo! This book was written before MASTER OF SEDUCTION, but in all fairness, A PIRATE OF HER OWN is the sequel to MASTER OF SEDUCTION. Confusing, I know, but you can read them in any order and they won't leave you perplexed. Don't miss them! Tracy Talley~@

What a great laugh out loud read!

I was enchanted from the first line and stayed that way until the end. What a great take on the old pirate books. It was fresh and fun. A real page turner. Now I just have to go find the rest of her books and see if they measure up to this one.

Highly Entertaining

A quick fun read filled with laugh out loud humor. Serenity James wanted adventure, but never expected to get it. When her dream "pirate" walks through the door of her father's office, she's sure it's a practical joke being played. Morgan Drake wishes it were a joke being played when he finds the intrepid Ms. James on board his ship. Forced together by circumstance, these two are a delight! The light-hearted bantering is reminiscent of Teresa Medieros or Julia Quinn, the characters funny and well-drawn with a sense of action and place that is purely MacGregor. Though I like Master of Seduction better, this book is still absolutely charming.

A real keeper

I don't normally read pirate books. I really hate those long, monotonous voyages where nothing happens and you get the same old stuff, so it was with great reservations that I bought this one. Okay, it was out of desperation I bought this book. I couldn't find anything else to read, so I thought I'd try it for a bit. That bit turned into all day! I could not put this sucker down. I've been reading romance for years and I seriously can't remember the last time I read a book with such vigor. It made me laugh until my sides ached and the hero is absolutely divine. All I can say is wow!! Ms. MacGregor has a new fan who prays she has a long, fruitful career because I need some more good books to read!

Exceptional

I wanted to write to you personally and thank you for your wonderful story about Morgan and Serenity (as well as the other unforgettable characters). I can't tell you how long it has been since I've read a good, really good story about a pirate and your book was perfect! I have a very special place in my heart for pirates and your story about the Sea Wolf hit the spot. Stories about Pirates are few and far between and your book was exceptional! You weave your words with such passion and clarity that it left me feeling as if I was part of the story, too, for I sure felt a lot of emotion while reading your tale. I find that stories which transport the reader to the time and place in which the tale is taking place is a most rewarding reading experience. I have yet to find that special ingredient which beckons a reader into a story. You, most definitely, have found that ingredient and use it liberally. You write your tale with such clear and poignant details that one easily gets pulled into the fantasy. Your writing is a joy to read and your tale of the Sea Wolf is a very satisfying diversion for an afternoon of R & R.You are truly a talented writer and I can't thank you enough for sharing that talent with me - and your marvelous sense of humor to boot! Your tale was truly a wonderful story. You can be sure that as soon as your newest book hits the market I will be the first one in line to purchase it!
