Sensual historical.
Two agents, one male, one female working for the crown, each unaware that they're both on the same side.
Danielle LaCrosse is determined to get revenge on Lafayette Baptiste for her father's death on her mother's false arrest and subsequent illness.
Cade Cavendish wants revenge for his brother's near deadly beating.
Brought together by a servant of the crown, they work together to arrest Baptiste and fall deeply in love.
Written with sensuality, mystery and a little humor, this is a definite winner.
I've received it as an ARC from Netgalley as per my request. I have never been disappointed in a Valerie Bowman book...usually delighted and this is no exception.

This book was wonderful. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Not only is it sexy but it is most certainly a book where you have a strong heroine and hero that combination alone along with spies, and pirates makes this a book you don't want to miss!

I have been a fan of Valerie Bowman's books for awhile. I love her writing style and her characters. This story was very amazing about the pirate Cade Cavedish and Miss Danielle LaCrosse. This book was had me reading as fast as I could so I could know how it was going to end. I very much enjoyed it.

Never Trust A Pirate by Valerie Bowman is a fantastic historical romance. Ms Bowman has given us a well-written book loaded with unique but lovable characters. Danielle and Cade's story is full of secrets, everyone has them. There's also plenty of drama, action, humor and spice to keep readers engaged in this wonderful story. I loved this book and look forward to reading more from Valerie Bowman in the future. Never Trust A Pirate is book 7 of the Playful Brides Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book that I received from NetGalley.

I was looking forward to Cade's story, but I have to admit it bored me and it was never as funny as the previous books were. Still thinking if I will keep on reading this series, it depends on the names of the next characters probably, we will see.

Non vedevo l'ora di leggere la storia di Cade, ma purtroppo mi ha annoiato e non era affatto divertente come quelle precedenti. Devo ancora decidere se proseguire la serie, dipende, credo, dal nome dei prossimi protagonisti, vedremo.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

This novel was a good read. The plot includes romance, secrets, and spies.
Cade Cavendish believes himself to be a black sheep. He has broken many laws, but he has his reasons. He is avenging the man who hurt his brother. Cade has many secrets and identities that will be uncovered.
Danielle LaCrosse also has many secrets. She is a spy and has multiple talents. Baptiste killed her father and blamed her mother for the crime. Danielle wants revenge. She is assigned as a maid to the home of the Viscount Spy, to keep tabs on Cade.
Both are instantly attracted to each other and flirt when they meet. Both have many secrets and as they begin to slowly trust each other, they let some of those secrets slip out. Both want to stop Baptiste and will do whatever is necessary to see that happen. It does not help that the Black Fox has been interfering in gathering intelligence. No one knows who the Black Fox is, but everyone seems to assume they know the true identity and it will keep you wondering until the end. As Cade and Danielle get closer to stopping Baptiste, they allow themselves to love each other but Danielle does not want any promises from Cade. Afterall, he is a rake and rakes cannot fall in love?

I received this from Netgalley/ Publisher in exchange for an honest review. I have just fallen in love with this series. I must say I had been waiting for Cade's story for awhile now and I was a little disappointed. Cade's woman Danielle is a French woman spying for the English. I enjoyed the story up until the end. I hated it! I will be looking forward to more but man not an awesome ending.

This romance wasn't to my taste. I felt nothing for the characters. The romance seemed forced. Thus, this book is very cliche and forgettable.
