The Pirate & Her Princess: Complete Series

By: Alli Temple

Narrated by: Emily Woo Zeller

Princess Georgina lives under the crushing tide of Redmere’s laws, where being unmasked as a spy means execution. Trapped in a royal engagement, her only escape is by an even more dangerous route: aboard the Crimson Siren with pirate Captain Cinder, a fearsome legend whose past is tangled with Georgina's own.

At sea, freedom tastes like salt and gunpowder. Treacherous storms, whispers of lost treasure, and a vengeful prince pursue them from port to port. But even as love anchors Georgina and Cinder, new threats gather below deck. Old secrets, new foes, and unpaid debts could rip Cinder from Georgina’s arms and into the depths for good.

To save their people and each other, they must chart a united course. Because kingdoms rise and ships sink, but a pirate and her princess were never meant to go down without a fight.

A Swashbuckling Sea Adventure

This was my first experience with this author's work. On the whole, I was entertained by the three books which comprised this box set; however, at times, I was frustrated by the characters. I enjoyed the descriptions of life at sea, and my imagination danced on the waters as the ship plowed through the waves. I understood Georgina's desire not to be a princess, but for all the struggles in her life, she remained very naive throughout the series. I liked Captain Cinder who learned the hard way to survive, but I didn't always understand Lou, whose sound judgement was often questionable when it came to Georgina. I thought Emily Woo Zeller's narration was lovely, and her performance enhanced the entertainment of the box set. I was given an advanced listener's copy of the audiobook by Ear Candy Promos. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

Exciting pirate adventure, excellent performance!

The Pirate & Her Princess trilogy (Uncharted, Unbroken, Unleashed) takes you on quite an adventure as George and Lou (Pirate Captain Cinder) find each other after being separated for many years. Their lives have gone in very different directions and they are quickly embroiled in political intrigue at every turn. They find themselves up against very powerful enemies as they embark on far-reaching adventures across the sea with so many surprising twists and turns I lost count and just held on for the ride. I was on the edge of my seat as they were tossed from one adventure to the next in their quest to find safety, security, and to build a life together and keep those close to them safe. When the pirates are the heroes up against various forces of evil you can bet you are in for some harrowing sea voyages and battles that will keep you on your toes from beginning to end.

There is some violence, but it is not excessive. This centered in an extremely misogynistic world and there is kidnapping, child abuse, death of a parent, death at sea, murder, violence, etc.. This lesbian romance fades to black, but the world is very homophobic.

Emily Woo Zeller is absolutely fantastic in her performance with characters across the spectrum. She flawlessly moves between easily-distinguished characters and pulls you into the story. I believe I enjoyed this book even more due to the performance. Excellent casting!
