About this listen

Her love will capture the ultimate treasure - his heart.

Diana Covington is a dutiful daughter with a boring future all mapped out for her. A shipping fortune and lush Jamaican estate that will someday be hers, a husband of her father's choice. Romance and Caribbean adventure exist only in her dreams, in which the Black Spaniard, El Moreno, plays a starring role. Until she is kidnapped by the evil pirate Marcus, and her girlish fantasies quickly turn to nightmares. Alex Rawnsley's dark Spanish looks makes him the perfect choice to take on the identity of El Moreno. His mission is to bring Marcus to justice, but his heart thirsts for blood. Vengeance for his brother's murder is within his grasp when Diana's kidnapping throws a hitch in his strategy. Snatching her from Marcus's clutches is easy enough, but what to do with her now? He cannot return her home lest she be taken again. He has no choice but to keep the distracting, innocent beauty aboard his ship. In his cabin. In his bed. The temptation to make her his own grows stronger by the hour...but opening his heart to love may forever close the door on his quest for revenge.

Originally published in 1999 by Avon Books.

Warning: Contains sweeping, high-seas adventure, a feisty heroine who doesn't let maidenly innocence stop her from unbuckling the hero's swash, and a hero who finds himself walking the plank of love.

First off I have to mention the voice actress Charlotte Wright. She not only did a truly amazing job, but I feel she truly carried this book to a new level! Charlotte's delivery of lord Peter Chilton had me burst with laughter! Her impressions of Diana was spot on, she nailed the voice of a young spoiled rich woman to perfectionin my opinion. I will be specifically searching for more audible books preformed by her.

I was drawn within only 15mins and completely invested by chapter 2.

I was very pleased that Diana was not a defenseless, willing woman who is completely dependent on a man.
I loved Diana fiery stubborn spirit, I found it very amusing.
I enjoyed the battle scenes, but almost wished they were a little more detailed with a bit of humor thrown in.
The ending had me in hysterics. Extremely entertaining, loved the fact that her dad was in on it.

Thoroughly enjoyed it

Didn’t like the storyline nor the narrator at all. Why do they have to talk like they are different males. Did a very poor job. Please…just read the book, I can figure out who is male and female and put a voice to them in my head all by myself.

Glad it was free
