She was in the wrong place...
Fiercely independent and adventurous, Poppy Bridgerton will only wed a suitor whose keen intellect and interests match her own. Sadly, none of the fools from her London season qualify. While visiting a friend on the Dorset coast, Poppy is pleasantly surprised to discover a smugglers' hideaway tucked inside a cave. But her delight turns to dismay when two pirates kidnap her and take her aboard a ship, leaving her bound and gagged on the captain's bed…
He found her at the wrong time...
Known to society as a rascal and reckless privateer, Captain Andrew James Rokesby actually transports essential goods and documents for the British government. Setting sail on a time-sensitive voyage to Portugal, he's stunned to find a woman waiting for him in his cabin. Surely, his imagination is getting the better of him. But no, she is very real—and his duty to the Crown means he's stuck with her.
Can two wrongs make the most perfect right?
When Andrew learns that she is a Bridgerton, he knows he will likely have to wed her to avert a scandal—though Poppy has no idea that he is the son of an earl and neighbor to her aristocratic cousins in Kent. On the high seas, their war of words soon gives way to an intoxicating passion. But when Andrew's secret is revealed, will his declaration of love be enough to capture her heart…?

Review:
Saya selalu membaca karya Julia Quinn walaupun saya sudah jarang menyentuh genre historical romance. Entah kenapa karya penulis satu ini selalu bisa membuat saya tersenyum. Karakter-karakter yang dibuatnya sangat cute dan interaksi dialognya lucu.
Di buku ini menceritakan sepupu Billy Bridgerton yang bernama Poppy dan anak ketiga dari keluarga Rokesby, Kapten Andrew. Poppy tanpa sengaja memasuki gua yang berisi rahasia pemerintahan. Dia ditangkap dan disandera di kapal milik Andrew.
Tahanan dan kapten kapal. Klise sekali. Apalagi mereka jatuh cinta hanya dalam kurun waktu tidak sampai dua minggu. Tapi bagaimana ya? Julia Quinn bisa bikin saya percaya dengan kisah cinta Poppy dan Andrew. Unyu banget, ih.
Dan tentu saja ada masalah keluarga juga. Andrew sama sekali tidak jujur tentang mengenal keluarga Bridgerton. Dia hanya mengaku sebagai Kapten Andrew James.
Nah, sebenarnya saya mau kasih bintang empat ke buku ini. Tapi lalu di bagian akhir ada masalah yang muncul menyangkut negara. Masalah itu dijelaskan secara samar dan tidak penting sehingga saya merasa itu hanya akal-akalan Julia Quinn untuk memperpanjang naskahnya. Saya tidak suka bagian itu sehingga saya harus mengurangi rating saya.
3/5
