Description
1727. A wife with an oppressive husband. A pirate trapped by circumstance. Together they must face their fears and make a break for freedom.
When Connie’s parents die, rather than become homeless she accepts a proposal from a fisherman known for his temper. After seven years of marriage, she is labeled cursed because she is childless. Her drunken husband brutally punishes her for her failings and Connie retreats into a world of her own.
Seeking his fortune, Eddie finds himself becoming an unwilling pirate. With no way out of Captain Hawkins’ clutches, he concentrates on amassing funds to one day buy his freedom. A harsh life takes its toll on a gentle spirit, and he begins to lose himself in the bloodthirsty life of a pirate.
A violent tempest throws hope into both their lives when Eddie is shipwrecked in the fishing bay of Bigbury-on-Sea and ends up on Connie’s beach. Will the two of them take their chance at happiness, and if they do, can they outrun the men who want them dead?
A thrilling historical romance novel, The Fisherman’s Wife is a gripping atmospheric love story!

An enjoyable historical read. I have read a book by this author before, and this one did not disappoint either. I think a lot of readers that enjoy the historical fiction genre will enjoy this one as much as I did.
Georgina A, Reviewer
An historical romance plus a bit of good old fashioned sex and violence this book ticked all the boxes for me. Poor Connie married to the abusive husband but saving a pirate saved herself.
Enjoyable

Are you in the mood for a historical romance with a pirate love interest? Then you're in the right place!
The Fisherman's Wife starts with a young woman, Connie, who is trapped in an abusive marriage. When a violent storm destroys a pirate ship carrying a treasure chest, a pirate named Eddie is rescued by Connie from death.
I really enjoyed this book! I loved the slow-burn romance and Connie 's relationship with Eddie was enduring. The beginning was a little slow for my taste, but it did hook my attention not long after. It was hard to follow the writing style, but the plot was even paced. I would like to say that domestic abuse would be a trigger warning for some people. I would recommend this to any historical romance lover and anyone who loves a good pirate story!
