Of Noble Birth

By: Brenda Novak

Narrated by: Alison Larkin

To escape her cruel stepfather, seamstress Alexandra Cogsworth envisioned sailing far from England…though not as a captive aboard a pirate’s ship.

Pirate captain Nathaniel Kent’s strategy for exacting revenge on his coldhearted father involved taking a valuable hostage…not a seamstress he mistakenly thinks is his half sister. Yet fate has designs of its own, landing them both on board the Royal Vengeance. At sea, Nathaniel intercepts and plunders his father’s ships, all the while tormented by his illicit hunger for the tempting prisoner he thinks is his blood relation. And although Alexandra wants no part in this terrifying voyage, to reveal her true identity to the handsome, blue-eyed Nathaniel would invite danger. Not only would she become worthless cargo, but the revelation would surely unleash what she and Nathaniel have been fiercely battling - a rising undercurrent of impossible desire that could sweep them away for good.

Great

I listened while at work and I must say it was a fast moving, and very entertaining. I loved it.

Fine romance.

A romance with a lot of intrigue. Two people that needed each other. Nice ending.

Truly Enjoyable!

I recently read Through the Smoke by Brenda Novak and liked it so much that I've been reading several of her books on Kindle or listening to them on Audible. I have truly enjoyed them all. It seems that each one is even better than the last! I highly recommend this one and another I just finished that I guess has 2 titles because it was called Honor Bound on Kindle and The Bastard on Audible. Whatever the title, if you like this book, you'll also love that one!!

Story could have been better written

The story is good but it goes on and on in some places. A good editor would have helped it.
