Rating:  Summary: OUTSTANDING! Review: Lieutenant Carly Callahan was in her F-18C fighter jet when a freak storm caused her plane to go down in the Atlantic. When pulled from the ocean, it was to find herself in the nineteenth century and her rescuer a pirate! I chuckled often in this one. Carly is one feisty woman! I thought this to be one of the best Time Travel Romances I have ever read!
Rating:  Summary: What A Let Down Review: Like the other reviewer said, they were on a ship, on a ship, on a ship. Simple characters in a simple story that was uneventful and boring. I love time travel's so bought it after the glowing reviews and can't believe how misled I was.
Rating:  Summary: A Keeper Review: Lt. Carly Callahan is a fighter pilot who crashes into the Atlantic Ocean. She is pulled from the ocean by pirate, Andrew Spencer. Andrew believes Carly is Lady Amanda, the soon-to-be bride of his rival. Both Andrew and Carly are stubborn, strong-willed people. Carly refuses to believe that she has traveled back into time until she has researched her situation and Andrew refuses to believe that Carly is not Lady Amanda. He also fights his attraction to Carly. Will Carly convince Andrew of who she is and where she is from or will she be sacrificed to the horrible Duke of Westridge? Will Andrew ever explain why he is willing to sacrifice Carly? These were just a few of the questions racing around in my head as a read this book. I loved that the action in this book did not stop. Even better was the laughter. Andrew's problems understanding Carly's ideas and the antics of the crew would surprise me through out the book causing quite a few people to doubt my sanity. Ms. Grant has taken the often used plot of time travel and made it into more. It is wonderful to see a strong heroine with an unusual job. I have put this book in a place of honor on my keeper shelf.
Rating:  Summary: Wow, wow, wow! Review: Oh, man! I couldn't wait to read this book after hearing so many wonderful things about it from on-line readers' groups. Wow, am I ever tickled it was everthing people were raving about. A strong, modern day heroine. A hunky pirate hero who meets his match. I could practically smell the sea brine as I read this tale. Well worth the price! I'll definately read more by this author.
Rating:  Summary: GRABS THE READER FROM THE FIRST WORD TO THE LAST Review: Once A Pirate grabs the reader from page one until the last. Lt. Carly Callahan's jet fighter crashes into the ocean taking the reader with her through the entire tense ordeal. Carly is rescued by Andrew Spencer, captain of a pirate ship. Not only does she learn that she's been thrown back in time, but her rescuer is a Duke out for revenge. Somehow, Carly has to convince Andrew that she's not Lady Amanda, but a figter pilot from the future. Read Once A Pirate and fall in love with Carly and Andrew and a cast of characters who support and make this a very believable, and exiting story--especially the young motherless boy Carly befriends. No one hooks the reader with her action beginnings like Susan Grant! This is a keeper!
Rating:  Summary: One For The Keeper Shelf! Review: Once A Pirate is a wonderful tale that sweeps you back to another time period, and keeps you smiling throughout. Ms. Grant is definitely an author to watch!

Rating:  Summary: Restored my faith in time travel romance! Review: Once a Pirate is the best romance I have read this year. From the opening chapter to the final page, I was sucked into the world of Carly and Andrew. Susan Grant's debut has restored my faith in time travel romance. But what struck me the most out of all the wonderful elements was the ending. Lately, I have felt that I have been reading the same ending in every time travel romance. Of course they're all happy ones, but the characters get to that happy ending in the exact same manner. What Grant has done is different, and I found it very refreshing. Susan Grant has a bright future ahead of her, and I hope she can write fast.
