Customer Reviews

wonderful!!

I was utterly charmed by this book. Altogether a wonderfully enjoyable read, which, I must admit, I started in the evening and finished early morning... I just could not bring myself to put the book down! Other reviewers have given a great description of the content, so I won't bother with that. Rather, I'd like to give my impression of it. This book has exactly the right mix of adventure and romance, with a wonderful dose of fun. In fact, this is exactly the type of pirate romance I love - exciting and fun!

Great read.

I like my romances with a touch of humor and plenty of action, and this book delivers. I found the characters to be endearing. Like most romantic heroes, Stoke has tragedy in his past, making him a tortured soul. But instead of being gloomy and dark, he manages to embrace life. He's a big, lusty, swash-buckling pirate. He loves deeply, and is willing to make sacrifices for those he loves, and even his enemies are his friends on some level. Great character. Next door neighbor Alexandra is constrained by the dictates of society, up until it all becomes too inconvenient, then she follows her heart and fights for her man. These two have great chemistry. The plot twists and adventures make this book a lot of fun to read. Highly recommended

Great as Always!

This is one of my favorite books by Jennifer Ashley. I LOVE all of the characters. Grayson is usually getting into something that Alexandrea is having to help him out of. He being a pirate and her being a lady, this makes for a great read. Very funny and heartwarming.

Absolutely Loved It!!!

Jennifer Ashley words and plot flow. She makes reading easy and fun; I read nearly the whole book at one sitting. The only reason I put the book down unfinished was to cook dinner for a very hungry husband. Ms. Ashley has a way with words; I've read her short stories in various publications as well as her premier novel. Ms. Ashley has a real future as a writer, and I am glad I participated in this stellar event.

yo ho ho and stiff upper lip!!

Jennifer Ashley really impressed me with her debut novel Perils of the Heart last November, and continues to do so with her second novel The Pirate Next Door. I am sure the eye-catching novel cover will cause many to pick it up, but the story inside is what is the prize. It is a slightly whimsical romance that finds windowed Lady Alexandra Alastair pondering the list of candidates for hubby number two. She is rather bored with the stodgy ton's offerings, when in pops Grayson Finley and his twelve year old daughter, the new Viscount oh so conveniently next door!12 years ago, he caused quite a stir by vanishing, and ever since spent that time with the scurvy crew of cutthroats and buccaneers. Now he has returned, with an adorable daughter in tow, to claim his inheritance. But the pirate life has not quite ended, as it follows him to the fancy Mayfair section of Britain threating his very life. Alexandra is not a wimp, a proper lady yes, but not lacking in spine. She falls for Grayson and his daughter, and is determined to fight for her Viscount.It's stylish, fun and with just enough dash and mystery to keep the readers more than intrigued.
