What to Read: Pirate Romances
00:00
I haven't read any pirate romances, well except Peter Darling by Austin Chant which is a trans retelling of Peter Pan and which I absolutely love. Here is what my Twitter friends came up with when I ask for romances with pirate MCs. Some are older historicals (which might have some problematic aspects). There are also somemore recent romances across different subgenres (queer retellings, steampunk).
Guardian Angel (Crown Spies #2) and The Gift (Crown Spies #3) by Julie Garwood
Gentle Rogue (Malory-Anderson Family #3) by Johanna Lindsey
The Captain of All Pleasures Sutherland #1) and The Price of Pleasure (Sutherland #2) by Kresley Cole

Ransom (Royal Navy #1) by Lee Rowan, m/m pirate romance (although the pirates are the bad guys and our heroes are officers in the Navy)
The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee, historical YA, out in October 2018. I believe the heroine is on the ace spectrum.
