    About this audiobook

    A Victorian beauty finds passion…with the man who may have murdered her father.

    Madeleine Russell, the beautiful daughter of a shipping magnate, counted on marrying a wealthy husband. Then her father’s disgrace and death left her with no dowry and no suitor. But Maddy and her sisters fully intend to restore their good name. Their first step: find the villain who framed their family. One of her father’s captains, a notorious former pirate, becomes a prime suspect. When Maddy joins the captain’s household disguised as his newest servant, her dark-eyed, charismatic employer soon develops his own agenda: seduction…

    Captain Thomas Morgan spent most of his life amassing vast riches and respectability…and keeping his gypsy roots a secret. Now, he just needs to marry his prim, polished fiancée…and resist his intriguing new housemaid. A pirate never falls in love, he reminds himself. As mutual deception leads Maddy and the captain into uncharted territory, the truth could anchor them to terrible heartache…or to passion beyond their wildest dreams.

      I received "Never Trust a Pirate" as part of a Goodreads giveaway.

      In the second book of the "Scandal at the House of Russell" trilogy, Madeleine Rose Russell, in an effort to find the culprit behindd her father's downfall, hides out at a servant in the home of the notorious Captain Morgan, the man she believes is responsible and the current captain of Madeleine's father's former ship, the Maddy Rose.

      It's a nice read. Madeleine is a gutsier heroine than in most romance novels and the tone is a bit grittier, which is a nice change of pace. After finishing the second book in the trilogy, I was intrigued enough to want to read the first and third books on the series. On the critical side, the book is fairly short, under 300 pages, so I feel like the romantic feelings come on awfully fast on both ends. Also, Maddy's insistence that she is not in fact Madeleine Russell but actually the servant Mary Graves, goes on a little too long to be believable. Still, I liked it.
