Book Description:
The game girl has wreaked havoc on the high seas- but the tide is about to turn... In the internet vertual reality game Buckling Swashes, Earless Erica and Black Corbin are two of the most deadly pirates to sail the online seas. And now they've met their matches: each other. But fearless Earless Erica is really just Amy-financial analyst with little time in her life for anything but work. And Corbin is none other the man behind the game-the programmer and owner of the company. He's intrigued by Amy, the only buccaneer to best him in his test of digital testosterone, while she just wants to take his arrogance down a peg. But soon the two find themselves comrades in arms against a merciless rival bent on Corbin's destruction-both on the virtual high seas and in real life. Only by setting aside their differences can they locate the actual people behind the swaggering swashbucklers- and along the way find that love can tame even the most fearsome of pirates.

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!

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!

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.
Carole H. (Fantasy & fun combine in this breezy yet very original chick-lit. ****
Lisa G. (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
Jeanette S. (found the main characters dialog a bit annoying as they say a lot of cute blips but not a lot of indepth conversation. quick read.
Jennifer L. (On a virtual ride of the high seas, Corbin and Amy seem fated for each other as they take on a mutual enemy. Full of humor, danger, and saucy pirate jargon that will keep you captivated to the end. AARR Matey!
Cindy B. (I had heard raves about this author, but I just could not read this book to the end... I was disappointed with the dialogue, didn't care for the characters (possibly because the story seemed flat to me).
I have to admit I like Macalister's Aisling Gray series better, but this was a nice, light read while I wait for the next in the series!
