Early Review: The Pirate & I by Katharine Ashe

Years ago, Miss Esme Astell fell hopelessly in love with Charles Brittle, an unassuming and highly respectable London bookmaker.

Then he disappeared without a word.
The last thing Esme ever dreamed was to meet Charlie again —
In a dark alleyway —
In a drenching rain —
In a chase with the police —
In Scotland.

Can she resist falling again, this time for the dangerous scoundrel he’s become?

3.5  STARS

 

The Pirate & I by Katharine Ashe was smoldering! This exciting short story is sure to entice with it's witty banter and steamy interludes. Esme has a unique talent and is on her way on becoming a perfumer until she finds herself face to face with someone she thought never to see again. Charlie is a wanted man and he needs Esme's help to free himself from a life he no longer can tolerate. Together Charlie and Esme discover the whereabouts of a particular object. They find much more than what they were hoping to find. I found the story to be a bit outlandish at times, not quite realistic, but a fun story none the less. The Pirate & I is non stop action an enjoyable way to spend a few hours. I look forward to the next Katharine Ashe novel.
