[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Buccaneers Princess" by RA Harolds.]

Elsie was the only offspring of Viscount Cillian Barclay. According to her father, she was to be betrothed to Alistair Duncan, an idea that enraged Elsie once she learnt of the pending union. Brigg is another man on a mission. When his father failed to pay a debt he owed to Viscount Barclay of Scotland (Elsie’s father), the latter took Charlotte, Brigg’s sister, to be his mistress.

Brigg learnt of his sister’s whereabouts and took some of his men to rescue her. He was also determined to take Elsie with him as he had always dreamt of having her. Elsie finds herself in a pickle when Brigg ‘kidnaps’ her; she is left wondering if it is better to be forcefully wedded to Alistair or bear to go along with Brigg. While Brigg successfully ‘kidnaps’ Elsie, the Viscount sends his men after The Bountiful, a ship ferrying Brigg, his men and Elsie. Will Brigg recapture his treasure? Will the Viscount allow Charlotte to leave without the debt settlement?

The pace of The Buccaneers Princess by RA Harolds is brisk and engaging. In this short read, the reader interacts with a misogynistic society. I was intrigued by Elsie’s fortitude; despite her father’s stubbornness and ill will, she stands up for what she believes. Elsie’s father embodies a self-seeking leader who cares for their social standing at the expense of their family’s wellbeing. Other than mistreating Elsie, I couldn’t stomach the loneliness he subjected his wife to by sidelining her due to her unsound mind. Could this be attributed to the ill-treatment by Viscount Barclay of Scotland?

I relished Brigg’s character. His stoic personality led him to believe that he could accomplish anything he desired. Perhaps this is what catapulted women into his arms. He was not held back by the fear that Viscount’s men would retaliate and exterminate him and his men while pursuing his desires. He exudes bravery in the way he protects Elsie. While not the best, his leadership skills ensure that The Bountiful is well-steered.

I was distracted by the innumerable grammatical errors in the book. I felt they could have been easily flagged when editing. I also felt the author should have made breaching Viscount’s security rockier. However, being the Harolds’ maiden book, this is a well-thought-out novel.

I award this book 3 out of 5 stars. While it accurately depicts life at sea and wittily weaves a tapestry of love and disdain, the negatives above cannot be overlooked. I recommend The Buccaneers Princess to romance lovers.
