Summary

London's cutthroat shipping trade is no place for a lady, although Olivia Cantarell has secretly acted as her father's assistant for years. Now she has inherited his company, she has no mind to give up control over it - and herself - by marrying, however flattering it is to be sought after for the first time in her life. In spite of threats and intimidation, she will fight to keep her business.

Careful, responsible, and twice jilted, Captain Marcus Easterday has no heart to attempt marriage a third time. But he cannot stand by and see a woman cheated of her livelihood by Ambrose Hawkins, rumored to be a former pirate and a man whose name is known and feared in ports from the West Indies to China.

Courted by the ruthless Hawkins while relying on the scrupulous Easterday's help, Olivia must conceal the identity of one of her clerks and protect her company and employees. Who can she trust?

Captain Easterday’s Bargain

This book was very enjoyable. The narrator did an excellent job. It told of a shipping company whose owner had died and left his strong headed daughter in charge of the company. In those days women did not run companies and a few prospective company owners tried to buy the company from her. Some even pretended they were in love with her and proposed marriage to her. One gentleman who had previously dealt with her Father had come into the office and as shocked to see that she was running the business. But despite his reservations he made friends with her and was prepared to support her. Eventually he proposed to her and she accepted. It was a busy story and lots of people were in to dirty deeds even going as far as to kidnap her. I enjoyed it very much.

good for background noise if that.

I wanted to like this story, there was much about it that was good however there was so much more that was bad. The first few chapters were dull and I had to fight to get past them. I couldnt connect with the characters. The characters were rather flat with no growth and inorganic interactions. Went in expecting a high seas adventure in which olivia defied societal norms but walked in on a 1700s historical romance that while accurate in much of its history  and day to day life depication lacked anything to pull me in. Even the romance portion was flavorless. It made a valiant attempt at an austin-esque writing style however with many romance stories it attempted a love angle(notice I didnt say triangle because that would mean the three are interested in each other but all torn between whom to love rather than shes not sure who to marry while the two hate each other.) Very much a slow burn sort of romance aspect however once it it's the romance and it rushed to an abrupt conclusion. One good aspect was the avoidance of many common tropes of this genre , such as overly attractive MC.

Narrator had poor vocal range and pacing. Poor audio quality, lots of white noise in the background. No differentiating between characters. Not a fan of this narrator.
