kidnapped by the pirate gay historical romance keira andrews

As a pirate, Hawk does what he has to in order to survive. Even though Hawk had loved the water, a part of him has wanted to settle down and live in peace with a partner by his side. Nathaniel’s father set him on a path to piracy and Hawk isn’t about to forgive him for that. Hawk used to be a Privateer that sailed for England. To make a good romance story featuring a pirate, obviously the character has to be more than meets the eye. I had faith that Keira Andrews could pull it off but she definitely made me nervous for a little while.

Same sex relationships in historical times are difficult enough to have HEA’s and I wondered how the author would set up a way for them to stay together after the ransom is paid and revenge is had. A captive falling in love with a pirate is a risky match. I was so excited when I saw she wrote this story, a m/m take on so many historical romances that I was a fan of before I discovered m/m romance. This May-December gay romance from Keira Andrews features classic tropes including: a tough alpha pirate too afraid to love, a plucky virgin captive half his age, enemies to lovers, first-time sexual discovery, and of course a happy ending. The crew has been promised the ransom Nathaniel will bring, yet as danger mounts and the time nears to give him up, Hawk’s biggest battle could be with his own heart. As a pirate’s prisoner, he is finally free to be his true self. Nathaniel realizes the fearsome Sea Hawk’s reputation is largely invented, and he sees the lonely man beneath the myth, willingly surrendering to his captor body and soul. It’s not as though Hawk would ever feel anything for him besides lust… Although Hawk knows he must keep his distance, the desire to teach Nathaniel the pleasure men can share grows uncontrollable.

Yet as days pass in close quarters, Nathaniel’s feisty spirit and alluring innocence beguile and bewitch. He has a score to settle with Nathaniel’s father-the very man whose treachery forced him into piracy-and he’s sure Nathaniel is just as contemptible. Then pirates strike and he’s kidnapped for ransom by the Sea Hawk, a legendary villain of the New World.īitter and jaded, Hawk harbors futile dreams of leaving the sea for a quiet life, but men like him don’t deserve peace.

Under the thumb of his controlling father, the governor of Primrose Isle, he’s sailing to the fledging colony, where he’ll surrender to a respectable marriage for his family’s financial gain. Nathaniel Bainbridge is used to hiding, whether it’s concealing his struggles with reading or his forbidden desire for men. Will a virgin captive surrender to this pirate’s sinful touch?
