Summary: An enjoyable read
Review: Yet another fast, fun read from Kinley MacGregor. I've read and enjoyed Master of Desire and Claiming the Highlander and now this one. I still need to read Master of Seduction to complete all of her books to date (and I'm waiting impatiently for Born in Sin, the second in her Highlander series).This is, I understand, the author's first book and I must say, it's not quite as good as some of her more recent efforts (LOVED Claiming the Highlander!), but it's still fun. Morgan was such a nice guy that I had trouble buying that he had been the vicious, ruthless pirate known as the Marauder before changing his ways. He was funny, warm, sweet and often frustrated and infuriated by Serenity and her wild ideas. He is attracted to her but can't quite figure out why - she's not his type. She's not a beauty, nor voluptuous, but still he is fascinated by her. A dangerous proposition! Serenity was really fun. Here's a woman considered by most of her friends, neighbors and family to be an on the shelf spinster who is "too old, too drab and far too opinionated" to ever find a husband. And Serenity, now in her mid-twenties, reluctantly accepts the reality and restrictions of the society she lives in. She longs for adventure as a writer, but her father keeps trying to hold her back and tied to an editing desk. But when Morgan seeks her out after one of her stories about the infamous Sea Wolf is actually published, she gets more adventure than she planned on! This, along with most of the author's other books, has the main characters having to face consequences to their actions and the realization that romantic dreams rarely resemble reality. An enjoyable and recommended read!

Summary: warm and wonderful
Review: This wasn't as spicy hot as her previous books, but it was still a great read. Morgan and Serenity were laugh out loud funny together and I really liked the scene where he took the ax to the door. After reading it though, I'd really like to see a story about Stanley and Kirsten. Kinely is a Keeper!

Summary: A wonderful romance !
Review: You won't be able to put this book down ! Like other readers, this is the first Kinley MacGregor book I'd read and it certainly won't be the last. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters in this story and can only hope that Ms. MacGregor will expand upon each of them. There are so many wonderful tales begun in this book, with so many memorable characters, I'd love to read a book for each of them. The story of Morgan and Serenity is a dynamic one and was enjoyable, humorous, heart warming and captivating. But, I'm hopeful that someday we can also read the tales for Kristen and her husband, George, as well as Serenity's sister, Charity. This is definitely not a book to be missed !

Summary: Funny and Sweet Pirate Story Not to be Missed!
Review: 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~@

Summary: What a great laugh out loud read!
Review: 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.

Summary: A PIRATE OF MY OWN, PLEASE!

Summary: Fun at first, but got irritating.
Review: With all of the excited, exclamation point reviews of this book, I was expecting a lot more from it. A Pirate of Her Own was cute, I giggled a bit, and there were some steamy scenes, but problems with the story started to irritate me. First, for a ship that is supposed to be full of men Captain Morgan Drake wants Serenity to be careful around, they are amazingly (and conveniently) absent for most of the book. Secondly, it was incredibly frustrating that Morgan or Serenity would make a decision (key was Morgan's decision to "one way or another claim her body") and then it was like the decision was never made. The characters went back to "Do I/No, I can't" in the very next chapter. I kept feeling for every step forward, the characters took two steps back. Third, the book was incredibly choppy. It did not flow in a manner that made me feel like I knew what was going on. The shock of the last two chapters was almost too much for me. I sat there reading and remember saying, "What?!" out loud. Finally, the author had an opportunity to really develop her secondary characters, but a few of them who really had promise got lost in the the story. I really wanted to enjoy this book. Everyone else was so excited about it, I wanted to be too. It began with lots of promise to be something unique and exciting, but got lost toward the last 40% of the book. Unfortunately, it had flaws that I just could not get past. I have already purchased Master of Desire and Master of Seduction and truly hope they are better.

Summary: Can I have a pirate too? ....sigh
Review: This is my first MacGregor book, but it won't be my last. This book was great from beginning to end. The heroine, Serenity, is no simpering beauty subject to the vapors. She's strong, strong-willed, and daring -- even though she's rather clueless about men. The hero, Morgan, is -- sigh, just the type of man I'd be happy with. Any way, Serenity longs for adventure and gets more than she bargained for when she meets Morgan. From their first meeting, the sparks fly and from there you're taken along a for a nice, romantic adventure that's full of humor, wit, and just plain fun. Both characters fight a losing battle to hold down their growing attraction for one another. But of course, they fail miserably. Although the romance doesn't get hot and steamy until towards the end of the book, the story is so interesting, and funny that you don't really notice. Okay, ... you notice but it's no problem. I highly recommend this book to lovers of historical (or any) romance novels. It's fun, fresh, and the ending rises to the occasion and gives you a few more laughs and smiles before it's all over.

Summary: An hysterical romp!
Review: Serenity James is a reporter who writes a story about the infamous Sea Wolf. When Morgan Drake reads it, he is sure the Savannah reporter has uncovered his identity. Seeking to thwart danger, he goes to silence her pen, but what he quickly learns is the lady isn't so easily quelled. Brilliant dialogue and great sexual tension make this book sizzle. I really couldn't out it down. Can't wait to read the rest of Kinley's books!
