"A Keeper!"
ONCE A PIRATE is the debut novel of author Susan Grant. It
also happens to be one of the few novels I have read
straight through in one day. Lt. Carly Callahan is a fighter pilot who crashes into the
Atlantic Ocean. She is pulled from the ocean by pirate,
Andrew Spencer. Andrew believes Carly is Lady Amanda, the
soon-to- be bride of his rival. Both Andrew and Carly are
stubborn, strong willed people. Carly refuses to believe
that she has traveled back into time until she has
researched her situation and Andrew refuses to believe that
Carly is not Lady Amanda. He also fights his attraction to
Carly. Will Carly convince Andrew of who she is and where
she is from or will she be sacrificed to the horrible Duke
of Westridge? Will Andrew ever explain why he is willing to
sacrifice Carly? These were just a few of the questions
racing around in my head as a read this book. I loved that
the action in this book did not stop. Even better was the
laughter. Andrew's problems understanding Carly's ideas and
the antics of the crew would surprise me through out the
book causing quite a few people to doubt my sanity. Ms. Grant has taken the often used plot of time travel and
made it into more. It is wonderful to see a strong heroine
with an unusual job. I have put this book in a place of
honor on my keeper shelf. Chris Roberts / April, 2000
