Story
Having married once out of desperation, the virgin widow Lady Belden has no intention of giving up her independence - until her long-lost siblings arrive on her doorstep. By law their guardianship belongs to the power-hungry marquess of Belden, but Bell will defy law and society to keep her newly reunited family together. Formidable in trade, unlucky in love, Lord Quentin Hoyt has eyed Lady Bell from afar - not just because she possesses the family fortune but because she's the most desirable woman he's ever met.

Summary
The Pirate and the Princess
Nora Adams believes she is only a schoolteacher and a poor seaman's widow until the day she inherits a fortune, and her mother sends her to London to deliver a mysterious message to a newly arrived foreign princess - who looks much like Nora. Once Princess Elena receives Nora's missive, she steals Nora's identity and vanishes. Left adrift in unfamiliar waters wearing ill-fitting royal shoes, Nora determinedly sets out in search of the real royal.
Nick Atherton long ago retired from his villainous life of piracy, but he's dragged out of his role as fashionable fribble to protect the princess - or the false princess. Nick would far rather seduce the comely widow, but to do so he must dodge French spies and pursue misbehaving royalty. For the fate of a nation, Devil Nick takes to the high seas again, but will that cost him the only woman he could ever love?

What the widow did next! A more appropriate synopsis!
This is a good book, but not as good as the first two. I’m not quite sure why I think so, because the lead characters are very engaging and intrepid. Nora Adam’s is the most mature of the ladies to receive the £1,000 legacy and although she has need of it and plans for it, it is not the focal point of the story, as the others were. In addition, Nick has no need of it.
This is an action/adventure narrative and sadly, those are the activities that don’t really engage with me - nothing against the genre, nor against the telling of the tale. Not quite interesting enough. The princess is gone almost immediately, and the search is quite bland and benign and, quite frankly, I have no idea what she was doing during her absence!
The story wasn’t really about the princess, but given that she was the reason for the tale, her hide and seek activities seemed, ultimately, to be quite pointless!

A Bit Complicated
I was looking forward to listening to this 3rd instalment in this series. So I was disappointed that it was a bit hard to follow, it was complicated. I lost track who was related to who. I did listen till the end but I wanted it to finish.
I'm hoping that the 4th book is a little easier to follow.

A fun caper--loved it!
Nick and Nora... I love the names of the two lead characters! If you love old movies ( think The Thin Man with Myrna Loy and William Powell) you'll get the reference.
Now, the plot is nothing like those movies, but the banter is. Witty, funny and sarcastic.
Nick is a rake. A social fribble. So why is the Home Office entrusting the safety of a visiting foreign princess to his care? Could there be more to Nick Atherton than meets the eye?
Now enter Nora. As the widow of a naval officer, his noble family has passed an inheritance on to her. In the process of bringing her to London, " to get some polish ", she discovers she's actually cousin to the princess! And they look very much alike.
Fun right? Well.., it was until the princess ran away, and then French spies started shooting at HER!!
The rest of the book is a wild caper with romance thrown in. I loved it. A totally fun read.
This is book 3 in a 4 book Rebellious Sons Series.

Bad boy meets an awe so proper Widow
Nora has always thought her mother’s stories about princesses and castles were just that a story. But when Nora inherits a fortune and goes to London she meets her cousin Princess Elena. She finds out her mother was is an Arch Duchess. Her mother asks her to give Elena a message and when she does she talks Nora into switching places not realizing Elena means to vanish.
Nick is a retired pirate and is tasked with protecting the Princess but when she escapes his eye he and Nora must do everything to bring her back. A wonderful story with a great ending,
