To Catch a Pirate 
When Annalisa Townsend’s ship is set upon by pirates in search of her father’s treasure, one of the crew, James Sterling, discovers her in the hold. When he moves to take her necklace, she begs him not to, as it is all she has left of her mother. He accepts a kiss in exchange for the necklace. “A fair trade, m’lady,” he tells her afterward, before disappearing.
A year later, with a forged letter of marque, Annalisa is intent on hunting down the wretched James Sterling and reclaiming her father’s treasure from him. But now she’s in danger of him stealing something far more vulnerable this time: her heart.
To my bemusement I often found myself forgetting that this book was a) aimed at young adults and b) about a seventeen year old girl. Its easy to forget such when the girl in question is the Captain of (what amounts to) a Pirate-Hunter's ship. I could almost believe that at each next kiss they would succumb to passion.I was also a little bit taken aback at how fast Annalisa went from a pampered London debutante to this fearsome Lady-Captain hunting down pirates and ruling over a crew of men.
I was expecting something different, thinking that this was a young adult pirate story. No, it was actually a teenage romance novel. It was not so different from what I've read before from all the other historical romances, minus the intimate moments. The most surprising and blatantly HR-like part was how James Sterling was described to be nearly a foot taller than Anna. I couldn't take it seriously after that and the rest of the story followed the general pattern of events; the bad boy pirate

In this day and age, after the rise of yummy pirates like Jack Sparrow and Will Turner, who doesn't love a good pirate story? Especially a love story involving pirates.Annalisa is determined to capture James Sterling. After his captain and crew destroyed her father's reputation and James stole a kiss from her, she's got to catch him to help her father. But once she catches him, she's in danger of giving him her heart.It was a good story, even though you pretty much know how it's going to end.
Rating 3.5It was a really good story, very Pirates of the Caribbean! Lots of adventure and action with sailing the high seas and all the sword fighting. It was a little predictable, but somethings I didn't see coming and somethings I predicted didn't happen at all. I liked Anna and James' characters, she was a force to be reckoned with and he was very charming and smooth. Their romance was very sweet and warm, I liked how they learned things from each other and how they couldn't resist each
blah. only read this because it was recommended on amazon as something i'd like if i liked "princess at sea" by dawn cook.. and they weren't similar at all. the protagonist in this is described as being strong and independent, but circumstances and the way she reacts to them proves otherwise--then everyone starts congratulating her on how well she took things. not realistic enough, but i suppose that's what comes from reading a young adult novel :T the developing relationship between the
Do you know how long I have wanted to read this book? 7 years. And that's not like some of the other books on my to-read list that are "there" but I don't really care about. I have actively sought this book for 7 years and I've finally found it and read it and...And it was adorable. And fluffy. And I'm sure full of a bunch of things I'd have less tolerance for if I just stumbled upon it (like the first kiss that has her going weak-in-the-knees instead of furious that a stranger is kissing her.
