Fortune of Emerald and Salt

De: Monroe Wildrose

Narrado por: Ali Dane

Eighteen-year-old Georgette Baine is a young pirate captain raised with utter disdain toward royalty. But when she and her twin brother, Captain Elias Baine, make a precarious deal with a king to gain access to a long-lost treasure, they find themselves in an untenable position. The king has tasked them with procuring stolen cargo under the watchful eye of his army commander, and Georgette is convinced they have been misled.

Mercy Landlight is a 19-year-old princess who has been sent to wed a king to secure political peace between his country and hers. A dutiful daughter of the crown, she would never question her brother's decree, until on her way to her new home, and husband, her journey is thwarted. The sparks of an unfamiliar romance cause Mercy to question everything she's been taught about herself, while Georgette strains to decide if she should continue the life path she was destined for, or entangle herself in a relationship that wouldn't offer her the same freedoms.

With enemies at every bend, this harrowing journey will alter the course of their lives and change the very foundation of who they are and what they've always believed.

pirates, a stolen princess and banter galore

first of all I've read this story 6 times since it came out, so when the audio book was released I needed it the moment it was available. I did have extremely high expectations and Ms. Ali Dane did not dissappoint..

you know how when you watch a movie after reading a book and the actor is nothing like you pictured. well there were several scenes that my mind made up and would not accept any other version so when Dane got to those scenes my bar was very high. she executed them perfectly and brought emotions that I did not expect to hear in an audio book.

the story is a 5 star YA story with a sweet romance and a morally grey character you love to hate. Ms. wildrose emaculatly weave a tale of adventure that will keep you reading and be sorry the story is over.

Engaging story and narrator!

I usually listen to my audiobooks on 1.5x, but slowed this one down to normal time so I could experience the full performance! I enjoyed this story so much!

Listen to the sample so you can confirm what I'm saying and then buy it! Just what I needed while I brought in firewood, fed my animals, went on walks, and all of the other things I do that don't need my ears!

Amazing!!!

I literally finished this book today and I am lost in my emotions. 

If you are looking for dasing pirates, both female and male, passionate romance, daring sword fights, and a princess who becomes her own hero then you need look no further than Fortune of Emerald and Salt by Monroe A. Wildrose. 

I listened to the audiobook and the narration was so well done I was immediately lost in the story and sad when I had to leave.

Georgette and her brother Elias are twin pirate captains with hearts of gold. While they are in search of a treasure their parents were hunting for they make a deal with the king and must bring along Absalom, the only man that can keep Georgette's swashbuckling under control, not that he would, and pick up Mercy, a captured princess, along the way. They run into trouble, as one does at sea, but learn more about themselves and each other as their adventure takes them closer to their treasure and danger.

Could’ve been better

I thought it was going to be a lesbian pirate book but it’s not. I had already decided that I wasn’t going to continue the series but the end is making me buy the rest. It’s a good story.

Holy cow, that was amazing!

Fantastic narration by Ali Dane to an absolutely incredible story! I had no idea where it was going and could not have predicted what happened if my life depended on it. Wow! Just wow. Loved it so much!

Thoroughly Enjoyable!

Great plot and characters that you care about. Can't wait for the next book to come out.

Spectacular!

I want to write an eloquent review but I’m honestly so overcome that I cannot form words. 100/10 would recommend this book. The writing is superb and the storytelling is excellent. My friend, Becca, casually recommended this book and I’m so upset she didn’t insist I read it with more vehemence. I’m planning on buying this book for at least three people, as I feel like everyone I know needs to read this amazing story!

The Pirate's Life For Me!!

I absolutely loved these characters! A pirate's life for me! The world was brought to life beautifully and I felt I was standing on deck and in the taverns with them, shoulder to shoulder, feeling the press of the situation, the frustrations of politics.

The writing style drew me in but the plot kept me engaged. A lot of that credit also goes to the narrator. She lends all her talents to the appropriate intensity and vulnerability of all the characters.

There was never not a time where I wished I wasn't at work or needing to do something else. I wanted to be back with these characters and finding out what happens next.

I was thoroughly mad when it was over! The cliffhanger sensation had me in the grip of FOMO and needed the next book right away...

And so I did...

Awesome story and amazing characters

I am a fan. The story was SO GOOD. The narrator was spectacular. We had to immediately start the 2nd book because I couldn't bear not knowing what happened next. Ali Dane made me feel all the feels and I loved how she depicted the characters. Monroe's story was complex but still really easy to follow. I simply cannot wait to see what happens next!!!

Fun pirate romance

A fun story with a brother & sister duo--pirate captains. I originally bought the paperback, then was offered an audiobook code. I enjoyed it even more in audiobook. The narrator does a great job with fitting the tone of the story, and even sings a sea shanty. The romance is cute, the political intrigue exciting. I've already bought the paperback of book 2, but I'm anxiously awaiting the audiobook release!
