Description
If You Give a Smuggler a Secret,
He’ll Demand a Kiss to Keep It
Pirates & Petticoats Book 1
A lady plotting her way out of an arranged marriage.
A smuggler with a cryptic invitation to a clandestine meeting,
A group of pirates out for revenge.
It’s the perfect storm.
*NOTE: This is the *sexy version* of the novel The Heart of a Tempest, (Book 1 of The Hearts of Adventure Sweet Romance Series By Chloe Flowers). She’s acting a charade and he knows it. The question is~will he demand compensation for keeping her secrets?
Silly question.
Of course he will.
The bigger question is~will she be able to afford the cost of his silence?
From the moment he discovered her with a sword in one hand, dagger in the other sparring in a hidden meadow, smuggler and ship’s captain Landon Hart has been intrigued by that independent, spirited tempest, Keelan Grey. But, he isn’t prepared for the impact she has on his tightly guarded heart, or the trouble she manages to attract.
From the moment he happened upon her secret training, Keelan knew Landon Hart was going to be a storm on her horizon. With an assassin killing off members of her family one by one, and a father trying to arrange a marriage between her and a vile plantation owner, Keelan had enough on her plate without an exasperating, rakishly handsome, ship’s captain getting in the way of her plots and schemes.
When Landon’s own dangerous secrets collide with Keelan’s, it’s the perfect storm.
If you enjoy historical romance and action and adventure, entwined with charismatic characters and a rich, entertaining plot you’ll love The Pirates & Petticoats Series.
This new title is the enhanced, revised and reissued story originally published as Hart's Desire.

Advance Praise
Overall it was an entertaining and sweet tale of overcoming obstacles for love and what was right and just. Keelan was always funny when trying to make amends for her mistakes when everything was supposed to be all seriousness; Landon was the rogue that tried to bring out her rebel side at the oddest of times so I consider this a romantic comedy of sorts and in a good way. I don't come across many stories where the same series follows the same couple so this was kind of different for me. I'll be posting my review for each individual story soon but as a whole I do recommend it to any historical lover that likes pirates, ships, and adventure as well. ~JoRead.booklikes.com

When Captain Landon Hart first sees Keelan Grey, he mistakes her for a young boy but as soon as she removes her cap, he is intrigued by the young woman who wields a knife with finesse. Keelan’s father is desperate for her to marry, fearing that she is in danger as an assassin has killed members of her family. Whilst trying to avoid an arranged marriage, she is also captivated by Landon but fears that losing her heart to him, will only mean loneliness.
The attraction between the two main characters was well delivered and the banter between them, quite enjoyable. Their attraction to each other is obvious and its development throughout the book made for an enjoyable read. The threat of the assassin added pace, to the romantic tale. Well worth reading!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Keelan can't decide if she wants to be a tom boy or a young lady with manners. Now that she has met Landon she is worried he cannot keep her secrets. He can but for a price. Keelan's father is not well and wants her married so she is settled before his death. Her choices are not good. Landon is attracted to her but she does not want a man of the sea. Her father was one and her mother was always saying 'hello' or 'good-bye' to him Keelan wants a husband who will be there with her all of the time. Can she get her heart's desire?

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an review.
This historical novel was decent. The heroine is spirited and independent but I felt a bit too reckless and quick to anger. Landon is a captain who comes to love her for her wit, bravery and beauty. He is very quick to flirt and had the heroine convinced he wanted nothing but a night in bed. Eventually he comes around and she surrenders. Worth the read but nothing special.
