A Fun Getaway !!!, Mar 12 2004
This review is from: Lady Pirate (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first book by Lynsay Sands that I have read. It left me wanting to read her other books !!! She has a nice way of setting up her story and making her characters come alive. I liked the way she made Valoree a little less than the perfect lady, but so likeable. The crazy little situations that she gets into are hilarious. But Valoree handles them like a trooper and shows that she can handle herself just fine. I loved the funny twists in the story !!! Lynsay also makes the supporting players interesting. She really has a way with writing witty and quick dialogue. The story does not take itself too seriously but does take the reader on a cool journey. This is the perfect tale for anyone who has ever dreamed of love, friendship, loyalty, and daring adventure. I am looking forward to more.

The Lady buckles swashes, Mar 6 2003
This review is from: Lady Pirate (Mass Market Paperback)
I got this book from a friend of mine who totally loves it, so I figured I'd read it to see if I like... Usually I'm not a heavy romance reader, but stick with fiction and thrillers. But boy am I glad I read this one!!! It's hysterical! I don't know how many times I laughed out loud reading this book nor how many thought of me as nuts when I did so at home, on the bus... I simply had to take it everywhere with me, only to find out what would happen next. You have a 24 years old woman, Valoree, born a lady, who has been dressing up as a boy and managed to fool her crew as the captain of a pirate ship, mainly to get revenge for her brother's death. When she goes to claim her heir, Ainsley Castle, with a drunken as her aunt and the pirates as servent and dressed up as a lady herself, she's told that in order to inherit she needs to be married to a nobleman and with child before turning 25. With little time to solve the task, her crew decides to help her find a man to marry. But Valoree is one stubborn lady... It's always something happening to make you laugh, and at the same time curious about what will happen next. Once I'd finished this one, I had to start on another one of hers, which I also loved. Hopefully I'll get to read yet another one soon!! I highly recommend this one to anyone looking for a good book. Lynsay is a brilliant writer!!
