I don't have all that much to say about this book beyond that neither the Lady Janies series nor the the Mary series has yet to disappoint me. Snarky and tongue-in-cheek and everything that a modern pirate story needs. I'll just leave you with some choice quotes:
The town wasn’t much to look at, just the several simple shacks and salt-sprayed storefronts where charlatans sold seashells by the seashore. (Your narrators offer our sincerest apologies to our audiobook narrator.) (48)

Mary jogged ahead to the small shack where they lived when they were ashore. “We’re here!” She unlocked the door and stepped inside, then crossed to the window and drew back the curtains. A beam of light shot through, hit their rickety old table, and the table fell over. “Home sweet home,” she said.
Tobias glanced at Mary.
She sighed and nodded. Yes, her look said, a new table. Soon. (51)

A ring. A beautiful golden ring with a large dark emerald in the center, framed by a group of small diamonds. He didn’t know her ring size (because ring sizes hadn’t been invented yet) but he hoped it would fit her. (63)
