This was an okay read for me. This was my least favorite so far in this series, I wasn't a fan of Harmony pretty much the whole book. She acted tough and independent, but she came off as arrogant and unlikable. That made the romance with John hard for me to root for. I do love the element of pirates from centuries ago in a modern day setting and the artifacts they try to keep safe. Although this one wasn't for me, I will be checking out the next one in this series.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

**I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. I received a copy of Pirate's Pleasure from Entangled Publishing and Net Galley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. **

Pirate's Pleasure by Lisa Kessler is the third book in her Sentinels of Savannah series and I loved John Smyth and Harmony Andrews story plus having been to both Tybee Island and Savannah I loved reliving the memories from past visits to this city.

John Smyth owns an investment business that has made the pirates quite well off for many years. But he becomes suspicious when his best employee Harmony tries to sell him on a investment that doesn't seem to be on the up and up. He knows that Harmony is a thief and but not what Digi Robins on the dark net sell historical objects to the highest bidder. They have stolen Pandora's Box that when sold will fund medical treatments not covered by insurance. When John asks Harmony about her "other" job he knows how dangerous the box is and will bring the crew, Captain and Department 13 Agent to keep the box from being opened. Once they become a couple will Harmony be allowed to sip from the Holy Grail and will the rest of the Sea Wolf crew vote her onto the ship?

Ohhh petit coup de coeur pour le couple pirate PDG / voleuse au grand coeur =D

L'intrigue avec la boite de Pandore était intéressante, j'ai bien aimé la romance et j'ai adoré en apprendre un peu plus sur l'agent Bale (j'adorais avoir un livre avec lui !)

Bref, une lecture distrayante qui m'a donnée envie de revoir tous les Pirates des Caraïbes xD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ohhh little crush on the pirate CEO / thief with a big heart couple =D

The plot with Pandora's box was interesting, I liked the romance and I loved learning a little more about Agent Bale (I'd love having a book with him !)

In short, an entertaining read that made me want to see all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies again xD

Pirate's Pleasure explores love of money, power, family and the one person who makes you feel alive. Immortal pirate John Smyth has experienced them all but the last. Now he has found a woman right under his nose that has him feeling alive and adventurous again. But he has secrets and so does she. Their story is rollicking fun and as close to adventure on the high seas as a body can get.

Our third outing with the Sea Dog Crew!

John was the money man of the crew, the one who made sure each crewmember got his fair share of the booty. Not much has changed then, now he's a financial adventurer in the stock markets! He can't believe someone has such a line on investments as Harmony. He thinks she could be the one to take over his firm when he has to "die". But Harmony is keeping secrets and they may come back to bite her!

Harmony is done with being poor. Sure, she takes risks but they always pan out. But her 2nd job, as a digital, and occasionally real life, thief is quickly becoming her main focus. But can she really resist the lure of Pandoras box? It could be a huge payday for the digi robins but it could also wreak havoc on the world.

John may come across as cool, calm and collected but still waters run deep! Harmony seems to enjoy the thrill of the steal, she doesn't actually want the money for herself. Fast paced, intriguing storyline and great characters.

It wasn't a book i managed to get interested or invested in. I didn't connect with any of the characters, wich sadly made me not care.
