Fortune of Emerald and Salt

By: Monroe Wildrose

Narrated by: Ali Dane

Eighteen-year-old Georgette Baine is a young pirate captain raised with utter disdain toward royalty. But when she and her twin brother, Captain Elias Baine, make a precarious deal with a king to gain access to a long-lost treasure, they find themselves in an untenable position. The king has tasked them with procuring stolen cargo under the watchful eye of his army commander, and Georgette is convinced they have been misled.

Mercy Landlight is a 19-year-old princess who has been sent to wed a king to secure political peace between his country and hers. A dutiful daughter of the crown, she would never question her brother's decree, until on her way to her new home, and husband, her journey is thwarted. The sparks of an unfamiliar romance cause Mercy to question everything she's been taught about herself, while Georgette strains to decide if she should continue the life path she was destined for, or entangle herself in a relationship that wouldn't offer her the same freedoms.

With enemies at every bend, this harrowing journey will alter the course of their lives and change the very foundation of who they are and what they've always believed.

Engaging story and narrator!

I usually listen to my audiobooks on 1.5x, but slowed this one down to normal time so I could experience the full performance! I enjoyed this story so much!

Listen to the sample so you can confirm what I'm saying and then buy it! Just what I needed while I brought in firewood, fed my animals, went on walks, and all of the other things I do that don't need my ears!

Amazing!!!

I literally finished this book today and I am lost in my emotions. 

If you are looking for dasing pirates, both female and male, passionate romance, daring sword fights, and a princess who becomes her own hero then you need look no further than Fortune of Emerald and Salt by Monroe A. Wildrose. 

I listened to the audiobook and the narration was so well done I was immediately lost in the story and sad when I had to leave.

Georgette and her brother Elias are twin pirate captains with hearts of gold. While they are in search of a treasure their parents were hunting for they make a deal with the king and must bring along Absalom, the only man that can keep Georgette's swashbuckling under control, not that he would, and pick up Mercy, a captured princess, along the way. They run into trouble, as one does at sea, but learn more about themselves and each other as their adventure takes them closer to their treasure and danger.

Could’ve been better

I thought it was going to be a lesbian pirate book but it’s not. I had already decided that I wasn’t going to continue the series but the end is making me buy the rest. It’s a good story.

Spectacular!

I want to write an eloquent review but I’m honestly so overcome that I cannot form words. 100/10 would recommend this book. The writing is superb and the storytelling is excellent. My friend, Becca, casually recommended this book and I’m so upset she didn’t insist I read it with more vehemence. I’m planning on buying this book for at least three people, as I feel like everyone I know needs to read this amazing story!

The Pirate's Life For Me!!

I absolutely loved these characters! A pirate's life for me! The world was brought to life beautifully and I felt I was standing on deck and in the taverns with them, shoulder to shoulder, feeling the press of the situation, the frustrations of politics.

The writing style drew me in but the plot kept me engaged. A lot of that credit also goes to the narrator. She lends all her talents to the appropriate intensity and vulnerability of all the characters.

There was never not a time where I wished I wasn't at work or needing to do something else. I wanted to be back with these characters and finding out what happens next.

I was thoroughly mad when it was over! The cliffhanger sensation had me in the grip of FOMO and needed the next book right away...

And so I did...
