Review of The Pirate Bride by Kathleen Y'Barbo

Review of The Pirate Bride by Kathleen Y'Barbo

This is the second in the series of The Daughters of the Mayflower series. Each story in the series gives us a different slice of history through the eyes of one young woman as she becomes the bride in the book. You get a piece of history mixed with romance and adventure. One of my daughters will tell you she retains more history from a story than from a boring history book. She needs characters, setting, and story to make it memorable. This series makes history real and fun!

The Pirate Bride is historical fiction, but also adventure and risk. If you love a pirate tale filled with battles and skirmishes, intrigue and romance, interesting characters, and unique settings, this book is for you. The tale takes you on a journey, not just by ship, but also the journey the characters take as they figure out who they are and what they will do with their futures. Each character has its own story and they are woven together in a way that will sometimes surprise you. The heroine is fun, and you will wish you could meet her in real life. The pirate is much more than just a pirate. Can pirates be good guys? This book is an enjoyable read and has an ending that ties up everything so you feel satisfied like after a good meal.
