About this listen
Life in a remote fishing village in the middle of a civil war is neither safe nor inspiring. So, when an opportunity comes along for village girl Lynn to be kidnapped and enslaved by Darren, a ruthless pirate queen, she takes full advantage of it. But Darren is neither as ruthless nor as piratical as she appears at first glance--and Lynn's not exactly what she seems to be, either.
In between encounters with old girlfriends, a slow death involving marmalade, and bounty hunters with no sense of humor, Lynn and her new mistress attempt to work out exactly what they are to each other--and who's in charge.

The back and forth between the two main characters is some of the best I’ve heard. The book is so funny. Which is difficult to do given the plot, but it works so well. Each character has such a distinct personality. Darren is our reluctant hero and even more reluctant pirate queen, but she is a big giant bundle of love. Even though she is the main character and the leader, just about everyone else (helpful) around her influences her and helps her to make the right decision. Makes you really consider what a proper leader should be.
The first half of the book is quite mysterious and builds up the world and our characters. Characters like Jess provide insight into other characters and act as a moral compass. The second half moves into a faster pace and reveals a lot of what’s been going on all along. The author has a wonderful style of writing. Its flows beautifully, and I’ve already said the dialogue between characters is amazing.
Lynn is brilliant. Smart and mysterious, hilarious and utterly ridiculous. A woman who knows her mind and knows what she wants. And seems to know exactly what Darren needs too! I love this book so much.
