I married a pirate by Samantha David

I married a pirate is not your run-of-the-mill type of book. Imagine this, you are a woman in your 30’s with 2 kids - twins in fact, you have no money, nowhere to live and your best friends are practically in the same kind of boat as you. It is then that you start talking on the internet chat rooms and meet a man… a pirate to be more precise. He is witty, fun and makes you feel good without him being chummy.
“The Pirate” (of which you always refer to him) lives on the Caribbean and offers you a free holiday to visit him and his pirate ship. You always worry about the money but he assures you that he is rich (very rich in fact) and will cater for all your needs (and the flights too of course).
The thought of beautiful beaches, sun and great food seems like a great idea and quite frankly, irresistible…until you realise that he takes your passport away, keeps you as his prisoner and deems you as his “treasure” as opposed to his (eventual and persuaded) wife. It is this kind of humour, romance and great descriptions that keeps the reader intrigued. I applaud the work of Samantha David!
