Mardon: Pirate Lords Series, Book 2 Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Elizabeth Rose (Author), Brian J. Gill (Narrator), RoseScribe Media Inc. (Publisher)
4.5 out of 5 stars 165 ratings

Greed and vengeance are powerful tools, but not as strong as a forbidden kiss that neither of them can seem to forget.

With his crazy, old grandmother on board The Falcon, Mardon sets sail with his crew. They are following a clue that will hopefully lead them to where Mardon's late father buried treasure. When they dock at Great Yarmouth, it isn't treasure they find. Instead, a mysterious nun in a tavern helps them decipher the code that points them to the Canterbury Cathedral. A nun in a tavern isn't an everyday occurrence. Odder still is the fact that Mardon can't shake the feeling he knows her, or that he is attracted to her.

Lady Emmaline de la Croix's reputation has been ruined by her late French husband. She thought the naked painting he commissioned of her would remain private, but now every man in France has seen it. To make matters worse, the painting was stolen by pirates that boarded their ship and killed her husband. Emmaline was kissed by a handsome pirate that day, just before she tried to kill him. It was a kiss so passionate, that she's never been able to forget it.

As a widow, Emmaline goes back to England and is put in a nunnery by her family. She'd rather die than to live without knowing true love for a man. She escapes, with her goal being to hunt down the pirate ship and steal back the naked painting. Hopefully, she can clear her sullied name and marry another nobleman and start over. But once she's reunited with the pirate named Mardon, she can't stop thinking about the kiss they shared, even if she is in disguise as a nun.

One searches for treasure while the other seeks redemption. Sparks of passion are ignited between a lady and a pirate, but they both know they can't stay together. What started as a simple kiss now promises, or threatens, to change their lives forever.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 4.25 STARS - LOVED THE GRANDMOTHER!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020
    I own over 40 books by this author so she is obviously a favorite of mine.

    This is a pirate story and some of it is not a dainty walk in the park. The men are crude as is some of their actions, especially with a certain picture. The Lord's name was used in vain at least twice.

    It took me awhile to warm to the h. Granted most of what happens to her isn't her fault. But, when she is first on the ship her actions were anything but lady like.

    The H is a pirate through and through but I liked him. His grandmother is on the ship and she made the story more entertaining with her banter and actions. I enjoyed the interactions with her grandsons/pirates.

    I didn't read book 1 in the series and wasn't lost, so a stand alone.

    There is lovemaking, outside of marriage, heat level 4 out of 5.

    There are some fight scenes, suspense and twists. We don't find out about the treasure (assuming will be in Aaron's story), nor what happened to the h's step-mother, if anything.

    No cheating in the normal sense, HEA, some romance and steam. I can't improve on the blurb so not trying, just recommending this story and author. I received an advanced copy, all opinions are my own and freely given. (ljb)

    An exciting story full of adventure, treasure hunting, a nun and a handsome pirate. What more could you ask for? I know when I begin a story by this wonderful author, there will be hours of entertainment!

    Mardon is now captain, since his brother Tristan has found his own happy ever after. So with his amusing grandmother and crew set out to find treasure their father had hidden. Mardon has not interest in love, until there is an unexpected kiss he will not soon forgot, nor will the nun, aka Lady Emmaline!

    Prepare for a swoonworthy journey filled with humor, sparks flying, battles and visiting with Triston from book one!

    This story is a continuation of Tristan and has Mardon and his younger brother Aaron in search of the hidden treasure. Along with him is his grandmother Nairnie who made this much more than a pirate story. She is a hoot that has you smiling the entire time.
    Sister Emmaline ( not really a nun) who has her own reasons to join them turns into an exciting sexy romp to not only find treasure but finding love.
    Lots of steam and a sensuous kiss that had my stomach all a flutter and there is more heat to come.
    The ending was so exhilarating with battles, rescues, heated passions and a wonderful reunion of Tristan and the family that had me smiling. Tristan was another wonderful story that I loved this character so much that it felt good to have him reappear in this story.
    This book can be a stand alone but so much better to read them all in order.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The Lady and the Pirate.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2020
    A good story teller tells a good story, and Elizabeth Rose tells good stories. The story is about Lady Emmaline, who doesn't want to be a nun, and she finally escapes from the convent. Everyone thinks she is a nun and she manages to get aboard the pirate ship, the Falcon, by promising to decipher the clue to find the treasure. Captain Martin, Quartermaster Aaron, who are brothers, and their Grandmother, Nairnie, agree to let her board the ship and to keep her safe in exchange for deciphering the clue. Well one clue leads to another, then another and finally to an old cemetery.
    This is Emmaline chance to get off the ship unseen and get back to her manor home. She has the nude portrait and she know her father will help to get her name cleared. Unfortunately her father is on his death bed but she is able to talk to him and finds out some things she didn't know. He takes his last breath and...well you will have to get the story to find out the exciting parts that are coming up.
    I received an ARC copy of the book and the reason I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt some parts of it seemed to repeat themselves to many times. The last third part is really exciting and I know you will enjoy the book.

    I always enjoy Elizabeth's stories. They're not only captivating and intriguing, but humorous and good old laugh out loud scenes. Great characters and banter. I love books that pick you up at the beginning and carry you all the way to the end. A lot of times, you wish it wasn't ending. Now I can hardly wait for book three.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mardon
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 3, 2020

    Tristan was the first book in the Pirate Lords series. Tristan’s brother Mardon is the second in the series. Tristan gave up Pirating as he fell in love. Mardon has had the same fete befall him. I loved this series. It tells the tale of three pirate brothers who discover that their father has hidden a stash of stolen booty
    And they are attempting to find it. With pressure from their enemy on another ship who hears rumours about the hidden treasure. Nairnie is still on the ship cooking for the crew and being grandmother to the brothers. This book now has a new female who had been married to a very cruel man who was her step mother’s brother. They then had her put into a convent but she escaped before she took her vows. The story is exciting and
    Dangerous and i loved every word of it. I received a copy of this book as an ARC and i have given this review without payment or coercion with my own free will. Looking forward to book 3 Miss Rose.

    Definitely humour and antics on the high seas. Emmaline and Mardon’s love story has its twists and turns, but the end result is definitely true love.

    Emmaline thought she was free but it seemed she had more battles to fight before Mardon could set her free.
