My Girlfriends Are Pirate Elves!: Books 1 - 4

By: Eden Redd

Narrated by: Sierra Kline

Jon had a simple and solitary life as a dock inspector in the city of Southvale. That was until a ship with elves arrived.

Now, he must contend with a group of beautiful elves that have no idea how to say no or behave in his world. They take what they want, drink what they want, and party how they want.

When Jon discovers they are pirates, his life will be turned into a maelstrom of action, intrigue, romance, and seaside humor from which none of them can steer away.

This collection contains the first 4 books of the series.

My Girlfriends Are Pirate Elves! is a fun, sexy story of a nautical nature. It contains humor, outlandish high adventure, lewd acts, everyday life, some cursing, urban fantasy, pointed ears, magical pistols, sharp teeth, a witch, and there might be a lot of giant monsters somewhere in there. This story is for mature listeners, 18 and up. Avast! There be elves in these waters!

the characters & storyline the interesting way the story is presented

I dislike the fact that book 6 isn't on the audible list yet I did like the way they told that Castello is still alive............??

It Really Had A Chance

I didn't heed the reviews about the narrator, thinking people were being mean, but wow... The narrator is extremely monotone and really struggles with voices, especially male voices. ALL men sound the same, so good luck following a conversation between two men. She also lacks emotion. In a tense scene with the story saying the characters are shouting at each other, the monotone continues, stealing any emotion or feeling from the scene.

Most of my complaints are about the sequels. Book 1 is really solid. Decently written and interesting characters made me want to keep listening.
Book 2 is where the cracks start to show. The pacing just goes out the window, and plotpoints just randomly appear.
The books start out on "Earth". I say "Earth" because besides it being called "Earth", it doesn't really share any commonality with actual Earth. Different money, different cities, different governments. Then it has super heroes. Then it has magic. They don't feel even eluded to. They just happen because the story needed it, I guess?

I'd say buy the first book and enjoy the experience.

Enjoyable lighthearted fun books

I enjoyed the four books of the sets so far only disappointment that book 5 still is not out in Audible

A mindless adventure

The 4 books within this are of a mindless adventure that for some would be a great read and listen, but for me was a long laborious journey that I could not finish. The performance was good but the story was not all that.

An Entertaining Coast Toward a Grand Adventure.

A mundane yet gifted Dock Worker finds his life complicated after coming face to face with a beautiful pirate on a dangerous quest. He's caught in the pirate's (and her crew's) web of life and experiences a world he didn't know he wanted. Enjoyable characters working together, falling in love blissfully fast, hard, and often.

The best way to define this series, is that it's balanced. The MC has an ability that gives him an increasing amount of luck, which he uses throughout daily life and while fighting. The drawback is that when he pushes his luck, an instance of bad luck will affect him, in order to 'balance the scales'. Ironically, there are a lot of positives and negatives about this series that seem to balance each other out.

The MC is accommodating to a fault. Instead of, metaphorically, throwing a coat over a puddle for his lovers to walk over, he'll willingly lie down over the puddle himself. His lovers can appreciate him all the more for it, but you can't really say that would look good. Yet, his giving personality is offset with the fact that very few can contend with him in hand-to-hand combat. At times the MC feels like he has no agency in the story, and other times, he's the most impactful person in it. There are other aspects of the story that could be nitpicked, emphasizing major positives and negatives of the series that readers will either really appreciate or really dislike. Still, it needs to be said that the story very good, despite some of the drawbacks and gets better as the series progresses.

Sierra Kline performed well in this story. She is able to produce a good range of characters, keeping the characters sounding unique and the story interesting.

Overall, this is an entertaining series with several elements that could be seen as enduring to some and frustrating to others. With the audiobook being a 4 for 1 combo, it wouldn't hurt to try it out and see for yourself.
