The Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

The Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller follows Alosa who, as the title suggests, is the daughter of the Pirate King. After being caught by another pirate, Alosa reveals that her kidnapping was the plan all along: she was supposed to find 1/3rd of a map to get to an island said to be full of treasure (Pirate of the Caribbean vibes, anyone?).

During her imprisonment, the reader sees that Alosa is more than meets the eye (no spoilers for that lol) and we meet the dashing Riden, Alosa’s automatic enemy because said enemy is the First Mate of the Captain of the ship that Alosa is a prisoner on (unfortunately for Alosa, Riden is hot. Unfortunately for Riden, Alosa has a secret that puts him in danger…of falling for her).

Anyway, secrets are revealed, plot twists arrive and go quite quickly and of course, Alosa is a badass as usual (you can’t expect anything less from the daughter of a pirate king, now can you?) and Riden is one hell of a charmer. Another thing I really loved, despite it being in the last parts of the book is how Alosa has an incredible bond and friendship with her crewmates and I love how they’re all showcased for a bit towards the end (slight spoiler?)

Overall, this book was really great. Highly recommend it for someone who wants a fun sea adventure with enemies-to-lovers and witty banter and an even wittier protagonist!
