Poppy and the Pirate

A year ago, when he called away on urgent family business, she was hurt that he didn’t say goodbye. She hasn’t heard from him since. Now Poppy and Carlos find themselves at the Towers’ house party on the Cornish coast. She tries to ignore him, but fate has different ideas. Will these two be able to patch up? Will they have a second chance?

This exciting story has everything, a page turning story with a dangerous mystery, murder, smugglers, secret caves, jealous debutantes (these can be dangerous, too), and, of course, a wonderful HEA. Carlos is a strong character, protective and loyal. Poppy is smart and outspoken, and too curious for her own good. The villains are dastardly. I love the descriptions of the cave network, a little scary – just ask Carlos. An exhilarating story and great characters. An enjoyable story and series. I recommend both.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

This review is of Poppy and the Pirate, the fourth book in the Wallflowers of Wildwood series by Elizabeth Cole.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book was an absolute delight to read! Poppy St George is not your average Lady. In Society’s definition of the word, she isn’t strictly a Lady since her step-father is in trade. But more than that, Poppy is smart, curious, outspoken, and always ready to help whomever needs it. And Mr. de la Guerra is not the average man in Society. So it’s a good thing they are at a house party where the different social classes can mingle easier. Together they make this story one you won’t want to put down. I loved the dialog between the two and how they played off each other. You learn enough about the other characters to understand them, but not so much that you get bogged down.
The descriptions of the locale adds to the story and mystery. I could feel myself in the caves.
This had everything you want in a good book: great characters, good locations, good story line. And what I also like a little mystery and romance.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did and end up checking out the rest of the author’s books.

This is book 4 in the Wallflowers of Wildwood series. having read the first 3,I recommend that you read them. Each book can be a stand alone and totally enjoyed But like any series it always makes the story more personal to really know the cast of characters. This series follows 5 girls who have bonded over boarding school. Now they are out into the real world . Poppy and Carlos’s fate has brought them back together for a journey of mystery, mayhem ,and love. What I love about this particular story is the strength of character Poppy and Carlos have. You the reader are effortlessly brought into this world. Elizabeth’s descriptive words are full and Rich with details. If you close your eyes you can smell the beach and the docks. You can feel the weight of the fabrics of the womens clothing. You can see it all ,you are welcomed in and become part of this world. I loved this tale. It makes you smile,believe in honor and understand the gift of loyalty thru love read this I bet you won’t be able to put it down. I read this in one nite. Lisa
