This book was lots of fun. It was smart, good dialogue, fantastic premise, and overall fabulous. You'll see I like a lot of her books, but I don't think I've ever read anything else like this by her. This wasn't "paranormal" per se, just a really good romance. Amy's a workaholic single mom to a teenage daughter who introduces to a concept...play time. It's when Amy STOPS working and focuses on NON work things. Specifically, the game her daughter wants to play that Amy will no longer pay for...a multi player online RPG. The game designers have sent the daughter the beta test for the virtual reality version and Amy promises to give it a try. Fairly tame and believable plotline. The fun begins when Amy gets trapped in the game and meets up with the game designer and his best friend. From then on, it's a battle of wits to find a way out of the game and into each other's real lives.

I absolutely LOVED this book.

I honestly did not think I would like this book after the first couple of chapters but I stuck it out and am so glad I did! It was hilarious! Katie MacAlister comes through once again with a book I would be happy to re-read!

In spite of my being skeptical in the beginning about being "trapped" in a virtual reality game, the author came through with a plausible explanation for that that probably couldn't have been worked in any sooner than it was. Aside from being just a tad long for my taste (there were moments in the middle when I did want the story to move along just a little faster), I enjoyed the story. Katie McK doesn't write down to her audience which makes her a worthwhile romance author in my book. The characters here are enjoyable, the dialog is witty, and the sex is hot. What's not to like?

A very funny and sexy read. By the end of the book I wanted to find a pirate and an island..Katie MacAlister never fails to entertain and always ensures her reader an adventure. You leave reality and journey into Katie's world! Thanks Katie for another great book!

When I started reading this I was like: Yes! A romance involving talk about RPGs and MMORPGs! And then it also included pirates and swordplay. Yay!

This book is modernly original and a fun read for anyone who likes the above. The blurb on the cover didn't do it justice because it really didn't let you know that the lead character was going to be stuck in a video game. It was just such a fun read that I couldn't put it down and I think was even "gamey" enough to get my husband to read, what is, a wonderful comedy-romance story.

There's just a lot of humor in this one. I think the only annoying thing I found was the lead character's daughter, who was a bit too obnoxious for a 16-year-old (at the end of the story). Otherwise, you will get a lot of laughs out of this one.

One of my least favorite of her books. Light, easy read but rather to cutesy for me. Her paranormals are much better than her contemps,and this is her weakest one. If you are new to Katie MacAlister don't start with this one, you probably won't give her other books a chance. If you are already a fan its worth a read.

I love Katie MacAlister- always steamy, funny, touching and a great read too.
This novel shows that our romantic heros.. don't ways have to be a Fabio and our heroines don't always have to be a wilting violet. Hooray for the Pirates of Blow me Down!

Amy is an A personality that loves working but her teenage daughter thinks she needs to slow down and have some fun, so she signs her on to her new Virtual Reality Pirate game. Suddenly Amy was sucked into the game, falling in love, and fighting for her life. It's a cute story if you let your imagination run.

This was an okay read. The author often went a little too heavy on the quips and trite phrases, which she openly admitted to in the afterword, but it had me gagging at times. I remember her doing this in her vampire books too. I liked the idea of the virtual reality game based on pirates, but wish there was a little less love and romance in the book overall. This book reminded me why I don't like romances that much. I think were it not for the pirate VR aspect of it, I'd have put it aside without finishing it... I've got a huge stack of other stuff to read and almost felt this wasn't worth my time, but like I said, the pirate VR aspect made it more interesting and kept me reading.

BTW, the quiz on the web site said I was most like Joy from the Vampire series. Hmmmm... I always thought she was super annoying. I guess I'll have to watch myself to make sure I really *don't* become like her!

such a cute book. I have read this book twice and will probably read it again. It combines humor, virtual reality, mystery and suspense, spicy sex, and the fun of piracy all in one book. Every katie mac fan needs to read this book. It is awesome!

Very interesting story! The alternate reality mind set of the 'game' made for many laughs. The sex scenes were semi-steamy! I LOVE Pirates, so this was a great book to take on my honeymoon to the Bahamas! I highly recommend this book, especially if your taking a island vacation.

There's no escaping video games when our children are playing them day and night and then our favorite authors works them into a romantic story. The pirate onthe cover looking like Johnny Depp was a nice touch, and the story is quite unbelieveable, FUNNY, but MacAlister gave it a big try.

This is a cute book. It took awhile for me to get into it, but once I did the story held my attention. It is a lighthearted romance- great for relaxing reading.

Found the book funny. Wasn't her usual subject, I enjoyed it

Katie MacAlister makes me laugh. She can come up with a plot that normally would have no interest for me whatsoever (in this case a contemporary romance involving a virtual reality computer game about pirates) and have me enjoying every page. She has a keen ear for hilarious dialogue. Her books are pure brain candy in the best sense of the phrase.

Katie Macalister has written another great book!

I would recommend this to anyone that loves a good romance with a little pirates thrown in to give it some spice.

Fantasy & fun combine in this breezy yet very original chick-lit. ****

I enjoyed reading this book. It was fun to read. I do have a hard time reading Katie MacAlisters books outside of her "dragon" series. (the name escapes me). But it was good for a quick, lighthearted read.

A really cute story. Makes you want to live a virtual reality life. Enjoyed
