Title: Pirate's Prize Author: Lena Nelson Dooley Publisher: Heartsong Presents ISBN: 1-59310-609-2 Genre: Inspirational/Historical/Romance Angelina de la Feunte Delgado is the pampered only child of a wealthy merchant. On her way home from a visit to Spain her ship is attacked by pirates. She and her aunt are captured, as well as all the merchandise on the ship. The pirate plans to marry Angelina. All the sailors are killed, save one, to be used as an interpreter since Angelina does not speak French, and the pirate doesn’t speak Spanish. Brian O’Doule has been in love with Angelina since he can remember. Except for the women, he is the soul survivor of the pirate attack and has made it his mission to help Angelina and her aunt return home to Spanish Florida. His situation seems hopeless. He is locked up in a cell except for meal times, then he joins Angelina and the pirate for meals to act as interpreter. Will he be able to help the women escape? Or is Angelina doomed to marry the pirate? Lena Nelson Dooley has done it again. Pirate's Prize is a prize. The characters are realistic and I could relate well to them. The setting was unique, and it kept my interest to the end. I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. Pick up Pirate's Prize for a quick, adorable read that is sure to help the reader escape to what would be a pleasant mansion in Louisiana. $4.95. 170 pages. | |
