Disguised as a boy, Anne Bonny lives as a pirate until captured by Sir James Avery, who immediately realizes she is a woman. This description may be from another edition of this product.
As the foremost scholar in the Western world on Proust, I have the firm belief that this brilliant novel--nay, piece of art--is the next Rememrance Of Things Past. Highly charged, fast-paced, yet brilliant and witty social satire, Capturing Annie made me question the very ideas that our society was founded on:Who is God?What is man?How do I fit in the universe?Plus it has the madcap adventures of a girl--but she pretends to be a boy! Think of all the wackiness that could ensue! And sex. Lots of that. Grade A++++!
Annie will capture your heart

Jem is Annie but she is not sure, after living as a boy all her life, what that means. Sir James must teach her. Laugh out loud adventures follow as Jem resists and Sir James discovers that turning the scrubby boy into a female will test his patience and his willpower to resist her charms. A can't-put-it-down wonderful read.
I LOVED THIS BOOK !

WOW! . This was a one sitting read that had me howling. The author has taken a unique storyline and pulled it off without a hitch. ANNIE and Sir, JAMES are a steamy couple that are full of love, compassion, and loyalty. They overcome many obstacles with humor and devotion.. Her secondary characters are full-bodied and add depth to the storyline. Mr. Bonny and Therese are wonderfully sneaky but supportive, Olivia an unusual addition and the Earl a truly evil villian. I highly recommend this book.
Absolutely Captivating!

I can't recommend this book highly enough. All of Patricia Wynn's stories have touched my heart. Capturing Annie is especially enchanting. The characters were whimsical, yet somehow truer than real life. As with all of this author's books, there is truth and wisdom beneath the fun, sexy facade. Thank you Patricia Wynn for a wonderful tale!
Capturing Annie

Welcome back, Patricia! What a delicious, exciting, romantic book! From an author who has been absent much too long comes a tale of pirates, a noble and sympathetic hero, and a heroine who is as funny as she is unpredictable. Parts of this book are very, very good and parts are simply brilliant. I laughed; I cried; I found myself in love with Annie at every turn. Ms. Wynn has a winner here. Don't miss it!
