😭 My first real review for A Prince Among Pirates.

ARCs aren't out yet, @suzannealbanis.bsky.social is in my writer's group and I let her finish the manuscript since they read almost the whole thing anyway.

Anyway, add my book on Goodreads, maybe:

Blue Crush 🌊 x Sirens 🧜🏼‍♀️

When wanting to drown your ex after they break your heart is a normal feeling it’s also a normal reaction in Breaker Bay 💔
And when you’re a girl gang of sirens whose love language is violence…
It’s a little too normal

A PRINCE AMONG PIRATES

An entirely true account of 18th century piracy in which everything is totally made up.

How I cleverly became a pirate by accident.

Maybe add it on Goodreads? www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

An image of an 18th century seaport with text over that says: "A Reader's Guide to A PRINCE AMONG PIRATES, by: Katie Abdou - Coming to Port Summer 2026"

A faded image of a seaside town with artwork by Tasia MS of two men--a brown-skinned pirate captain with dark brown locks and a charming smile, and a bronze-skinned gentleman in blue finery looking at him with admiration.

The text says "Back Cover Blurb

Kit Davenport is in trouble—not that this would surprise anyone who knows him. Headstrong, reckless, and utterly unsuited for the stodgy House of Lords, Kit has spent years dodging his father’s stern disapproval and delighting in clandestine rendezvous. But time is running out. With an arranged marriage looming and the confines of white wigs and stiff decorum closing in, Kit is desperate to escape a life that feels completely wrong for him.

His solution? A wildly impulsive decision that lands him aboard the Deliverance, a galleon captained by the infuriatingly charismatic Reggie Sharpe. With a devil-may-care attitude and a delicious grin, Captain Sharpe commands the waves with his crew of misfits . . . who all turn out to be pirates. Before Kit can say “wrong ship,” he’s trading ballroom etiquette for rum-soaked camaraderie, explosive gunfights, and, perhaps most excitingly, heart-stopping kisses under the stars.

But life at sea holds just as many secrets as treasures. And when Kit’s past catches up with him, he’ll have to decide who he truly wants to be: a gentleman, or a pirate?"

An image of an 18th century seaport with text over that says: "Snippet:

He bumps his nose against mine, and I know without him saying a word that he’s waiting for my permission. I could cry. Perhaps I do. My whole face is so hot I’m not sure I could tell either way, but I can’t bring myself to speak, so I nod and bring my hand up to rest on his neck, just under his ear where I might brush my thumb along the stubble at his jaw.

And then our mouths collide, and I am lost in him. It isn’t a slow, gentle kiss like the first time I kissed Katherine. It’s fierce, and intense, and wonderful. For a moment, I imagine this is exactly how it feels to be drawn into the ocean by a siren’s kiss and drowned as they steal the breath from your body.

When we finally break away, we are both panting. He presses his jaw to my temple and holds me tight to his body, his fingers massaging at that tender spot on the back of my neck in a protective, possessive way. I know in this moment I would give myself to him without hesitation, and without regret."
