I love this series. We return to the Sea Dog crew for the boats carpenter Drake. He’s always been tormented by past choices that now the witches who have targeted him are making it worse. Local median and ghost whisperer Heather has noticed the unrest and increased activity happening around Savannah. When a boy sends her to help the man who saved her life, well she’s getting into a whole lot more than she could ever expect.

Twin sisters, Davy Jones, the Sea Dog crew, banshees, soul mates, and ex’s. This book has it all and was seriously enjoyable.

Wow, I tore through this book in record time. This is Book 4 in the Sentinels of Savannah series, and I have not read the first three. I was able to follow the story fine, but there is obvious backstory that I missed without reading the others. I do plan to read the first three and that's a testament to how much this story grabbed me. Now I want to know more!

Heather is a medium, who is visited by the ghost of a young boy. Her investigation of what the young boy is asking, leads her to Drake. Drake is an immortal, a pirate who went down with his crew on the Sea Dog in 1795. If a medium, a ghost, and a pirate doesn't grab you, I don't know what to say. Oh and there's an investigator here that is part of why I want to know more backstory. In addition, there's a curse, Davey Jones, the rest of the crew of the Sea Dog, witches, and Heather's sister, too. Family and found family are explored and it all feels spot on. Twists and pacing are tight and keep this story moving. I love the attraction between Heather and Drake, and the impossible dilemma presented - what would you do for the one you love? Could you give them up? Would you want to live forever without the person you love?

I have never traveled to Savannah but this book does place very well. I felt fully present and that's a key element for me in any story.

Highly recommend, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Awesome paranormal romance! So many cool things - an immortal pirate crew that drank from the Holy Grail, a medium, witches and a government agency that finds magical relics. So much fun and a wonderful story.

Heather is a medium that has a ghost child come to her to warn his uncle that he’s in danger. She goes to Drake, but realizes she’s met him before.

They are both in danger as ghosts trapped in Davy Jones’ locker come up from the deep. Heather, Drake, the Sea Dog crew and Department 13 have to work together to find where the danger is coming from and who has the magical relic.

There are ties to previous books in this series, but this book can easily be read as a stand alone novel.

Very cool and original plot and unique twist in a pirate story! I loved the details and the accurate description of Savannah!

I would love to read about the other characters as well!

Very well done and highly recommended. This is not a usual genre for me but it blurs between romance/sci-fi/mystery so well I loved it.
I actually liked the characters, you know just enough about them to be invested and to follow the story. Imagery is very well done so you feel as if you are there. And twists and turns throughout.
Pirate’s Persuasion has a great storyline, awesome even. Ms. Kessler’s writing is very good and she weaves an interesting tale that actually hooked me and prompted me to read more. I will look into more of her books in this series because of it.
The only down side for me was that it was Repetitive! With a capital R. Every chapter we had to be reminded that he’s immortal, she’s not, and that she just cant wrap her head around certain things, and about all the crew over and over. I don’t mind a few reminders sprinkled throughout the storyline but every chapter! It was like re-reading the previous chapter again in shorter form in the chapter I was in. Other than word filler, it served no purpose. I almost quit about Chapter 5 because it was driving me nuts. But I stuck it out to the end. The only place I found that this didn’t happen was the last few chapters.
Overall however, you can overlook the repetitiveness and fall into the storyline and you will be pleasantly surprised with the adventure.

These books never fail to be a great read. You will fall in love with these amazing characters and their world.

Pirate's Persuasion is the fourth book in the Sentinels of Savannah, and I haven't read the rest of the series (yet), so bear with me!
The pirate crew of the Sea Dog is immortal because they drank from the Holy Grail approximately 200 years ago. In this book, we will read the story between Drake, one of the pirates, and Heather, a medium who can hear dead people. - She, from what I have gathered, has already appeared in a previous book and met Drake and the crew, though not enough to know their secret.
So Heather was contracted to work appeasing some spirits on Oatland Island and she *sees* the ghost of a little boy, which is not normal for her. This boy asks her to protect his uncle and tell him he didn't blame the uncle for what happened in the past. Heather agrees to pass on the message and is surprised when the kid says his uncle's name is Drake Cole, the guy who saved her life in a previous encounter.
When Heather arrives to deliver said message, Drake surprises her saying that he doesn't have a nephew and then suffers a psychic attack from an unknown source. During this attack, he hears the wail of a banshee, which is believed to precede death, but he can't die.
Together they start investigating who is attacking Drake and why they are doing this.

I adore pirate and ghost stories, so it was no surprise to me when I couldn't drop this book until I finished.
It is the first time I read a book by Lisa Kessler, and I just can't wait to get the rest of this series. The balance between the romance and the investigation was perfect for me. Her writing style is light and pleasing, so Pirate's Persuasion was a quick and easy read for me.
The development in Drake and Heather's relationship was quick and it didn't bother me much, because of a detail in the narrative that was foreshadowed right from the start. Otherwise, I would have thought it too shallow. I think they fell fast for one another and it could be a point of attention.
I like Heather and her nonchalant vibe about her looks, but I just loved Drake. He is the star of the book for me. He is a gentleman, driven, and respects Heather's decisions, even when he doesn't agree with them.

Overall it was a great paranormal romance book and I just can't wait to read (in the correct order this time) the rest of this series! I recommend this book a lot if you like the genre and until the release date, June 22th, you’ll have time to read the whole series!

Disclaimer: I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Heather is a medium and can talk to ghosts. A little boy comes to her and asks her to help his Uncle. Immortal pirate, Drake, is the Uncle and he saved Heather once. Drake had snuck the boy on the ship and he perished when the ship sunk. He builds furniture and does historic renovations, but something out there wants to destroy him. Someone is using the Flying Dutchman and a coven of witches to scream like a banshee only he can hear. The tale goes whoever hears the banshee, dies. But Drake is immortal so they must figure out how to get the relic back. Heather is mortal but will she drink from the Holy Grail and gain everlasting life? I loved this story. Suspense and sexy times with a handsome pirate. A woman who can talk to the dead and a man who cannot die. I believe this is my favorite story in the series. * Voluntarily read and reviewed this for NetGalley *

I just finished reading. It's an amazing story I could not put it down. I fell in love with the characters from the start. Story arc is well thought out. I am not usually surprised but you kept me on my toes.
