love anything Normandie Alleman, I first discovered her as an author when I started reviewing for Stormy Night Publications. The first book I read by her was Daddy Morebucks and I loved it! Since then I have become an avid fan of hers reading everything by her. She is definitely one of my top 5 favorite authors. When she told me she was writing a historical pirate trilogy I was intrigued. I usually despise anything historical but I wanted to see if Normandie remained herself when writing this. By adding a strong personality and a sprinkle of humor. She does just that!Frederica Beauchamp has a lot of growing up to do, she is most certainly naive and stubborn. She knows how to put up a good argument and point out things when they don't make any sense. She boards a ship for the Americas and gets more than her fair share of adventure when her ship is attacked and she is taken prisoner on a pirate ship. Faced with a fate far worse than death, she is humiliated and used for the captain's pleasure.Gaston Galette slips into the story perfectly, he comes along the pirate ship as a survivor from a ship wrecked vessel and meets Frederica when she is dressing his wounds. He learns a little about her in the beginning and already has a plan to overthrow the captain. To me, Gaston is that schoolboy that is full of mischief and always had a plan up his sleeve. He is careless in all thing except when it comes to Frederica, he feels a need to protect her.I loved Rescued By The Buccaneer because it has a strong buildup that will lead you into wanting to read the rest of the trilogy. If you are seeking kink, there is some but not a whole lot. Book One is mostly the buildup to let you know about the characters and their various personalities. I look forward to reading Book Two, Bound By The Buccaneer later this year!
