Book Review: The Pirate's Booty (The Plundered Chronicles #1) by Alex Westmore

Title: The Pirate's Booty (The Plundered Chronicle #1)
Author: Alex Westmore
Release Date: October 19, 2015
PLOT: 
When Quinn Gallagher’s childhood friend is abducted from a dock in Ireland, she’ll do whatever it takes to come to the rescue—even if that means dressing as a man and joining the crew of one of the most notorious pirate captains the world has ever seen.

Quinn soon finds there is much to enjoy living as a man, in particular the company of other women. When she finds herself falling hard for Lady Fiona, a woman far above her own station, she is torn between revealing her true identity and continuing the façade of being a male pirate. Love is never easy, especially in the sixteenth century and especially under false pretenses.

Can Quinn live with one foot in two different worlds, or must she consign herself to either the lusty life of a pirate or the loveless life of a noble woman? Come sail the high seas in this exciting and erotic adventure with the fierce pirate Gallagher as your guide. You’re in for a wild ride and may even score some booty along the way. 

REVIEW: 
Disclaimer: I received an ARC in exchange for an HONEST review.
This book is like a crossover between Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare and the Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. It is filled with adventure, action packed, witty dialogues, and women empowerment. I really like the female protagonist, Quinn/Callaghan, in this story. Beside being a bad ass pirate, she is also relatable especially with her inner struggle. She is struggling about doing what she wants or what society conforms her to do. 

I just have a bit of trouble with the writing style but the pacing is good and the author's world building is phenomenal. She is bringing us to this adventure from island to island, to different countries, and life in the sea. Also, I commend the historical research she did for this book. This book also deals with serious topics such as sexism, oppression, and racism, which I believe are important issues that we have to deal with in today's world. 

I recommend this book if you like action, humour, and pirate stories. This book is definitely far from what I usually read but I am glad to have read this 



ABOUT THE AUTHOR: 
Alex Westmore has lived in a haunted house, has a raging empath for a best friend, and eats up paranormal experiences with a huge supernatural spoon. To get closer to the action, she has spent time with Voodun in New Orleans, medicine men in the Southwest, and a Shaman in the Amazon.

Alex is a five-time award winning author of several series, from zombies to demons to empaths, oh my! When she isn’t writing, she’s thinking about writing and imagining where her next great adventure will take her.
Spice up your life! Join Alex on her next amazing adventure… you will be so glad you did.
