About this listen
Space Pirate Rick Hayes sails the high skies searching for mischief. It looks like she finally found him.
From NY Times and USA TODAY best-selling author, Michelle M. Pillow, a space adventure romance!
Five Cursed Pirates and Only One Chance to Find Love - These space pirates sail the high skies looking for adventure, and a woman who can end their curse.
Space pirate and all-around bad boy, Rick Hayes isn’t looking to change his ways. He’s one helluva pilot, has a crew he thinks of as family, and women seem to want his company. What more could a guy want? Life is too short to settle down, and he knows firsthand the less you care about, the less it hurts when you lose it. Too bad his logic doesn’t always get through to his heart. When fate tempts him with a beautiful woman that appears to see through all of his defenses....
Well, actually, the frustrating star beam took him prisoner, hit him over the head, and stole his memories. Regardless of those few minor hiccups on the road to romance, Rick has to decide if love is worth the risk.

With all that is happening in his land, the upcoming shifter mating ceremony is the least of Grier’s concerns. Even though he is heir prince of the dragon-shifters, he doesn’t have the authority needed to help the humans stranded in dragon territory, nor can he banish those who ruthlessly control them. Yet honor demands he finds an opportunity to intervene, and he hopes that doing so won’t start a war the shifters can’t win.

Story
Going undercover at a mass wedding as a bartered bride, Morrigan Blake has every intention of getting off the barbaric alien planet just as soon as the ceremony is over. Or, more correctly, just as soon as she captures footage of the mysterious princes rumored to be in attendance. After a euphoric night, Morrigan discovers her ride left without her and an alien dragon shifter is claiming she's his wife. It's not exactly the story this reporter had in mind. And to make matters worse, the all-to-seductive dragon prince refuses to give up without a fight.

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

Story
As the first humans allowed in Suevan space, there’s a lot riding on my all-woman team. Earth desperately needs their tech, and I’m determined to prove we can negotiate the price. Without their planetary defense systems, Earth is a sitting duck, ripe for invasion. Except the Suevan culture is nothing like ours. When I take part in what I think is a welcoming ceremony, I leave with more than I bargained for: a husband. A mate. Apparently, we’re there to marry them as payment—something the top brass on Earth doesn’t bother denying. Fantastic.

Cat shifter Bree Dwyer doesn't fear much. Ironically, what she fears most is the person who was put on the Earth just for her. Your true mate wasn't supposed to be cruel and twisted; wasn't supposed to be someone who'd never love or want to claim you. The rumors that her true mate is dead bring her only relief. Bree's intent on moving forward with her life and building a future with someone else. Sadly, the male she wants most is one she can never have - a hot-as-sin wolverine shifter who happens to be her boss...and the cousin of her predestined mate.

His Woodland Maiden shows flashback of Rick's past. It definitely explain a lot of his past and his relationship with Harper. Rick did find his true love except that Harper kept erasing his short-term memory of her. There are moments I was wondering the long term effects on Rick's memory. I felt like Will Smith's character in MIB, protesting whenever Rick's short-termed memory kept getting erased.
This story definitely did not disappoint. Love Rick and Harper's story. I'm just sad that this is the end of this series.
The narrator, Michael Ferraiuolo is the right person to narrates this series. I do hope he does come back for the other series the author, Michelle M. Pillow has. I am looking forward to listening to him again.
I was given this audiobook by the author. I have voluntary decided to write an unbiased review for this book. I was not compensated or influenced in any way for writing this review.

Harper is an excellent foil for Rick as her personality is so much like him—as I believe one of the other guys stated—even using one of the same sobriquets, like “Space Balls!” when things go awry. But she is whip-smart and holds a rather surprising position in their world (that I won't ruin for you). Yet again, bad things are happening someplace, and the entire crew goes all in, jeopardizing themselves to save others in the big battle of the book. I love that about these guys. In fact, I wish we could read many more of their adventures; each man is well drawn and contributes wonderfully to the whole crew. (Plus, I wouldn't mind seeing how it works out for the two remaining unattached crew members, who happen to be brothers, but might have something going on with two sisters who have newly come on board the ship.)
The end also reveals Rick not only to be their cosmic clown but as actually the linchpin holding the group together as they do surprisingly great things. Sprout’s revelation at the end is shocking but makes complete sense and adds much texture and flavor to the overall story arc for this motley crew. In fact, I might have to go back and reread or listen to their stories. No hardship there, as I have enjoyed every single one thoroughly. If you like well-written sci-fi romance, as I do, give this entire series a chance. I also like the revelation about Harper at the end and how it was done. Seeing how that made Rick act added a sweet nuance to the story.
As always, I love the narrator of this series. He does a fantastic job making each man or woman sound distinct, which is not easy with such a large ensemble cast. He even did a great job with the very bored-sounding guy who was checking the ship dockside at the planet the crew was about to wreak havoc on. He truly sounded like the typically bored administrative guy we’ve all encountered. Little did he know, his life was about to change!
I do recommend starting with the first one so you can get introduced to each crew member as he finds his lady, but know you have some great stuff in store when you finally get to this book five of the series.

The more his leading lady gets to know Rick and the rest of the crew the more she discovers she misjudged them, underestimated them, and basically made a bunch of assumptions about them because they are pirates. If you've read/listened to the previous books you know these pirates save lives and right wrongs for s living, helping others at every turn... they just might be the help this woman didn't know she could use.
I really enjoy the narrator for this book, especially in the moments where the crew dynamics are front and center. When Victor explains in a whisper why a crew member keeps offering food... or when Dev and Jackson are at their Security best, though hoping those around them will mistake them for station instead of ship security, the scenes come alive, with heart and humor.

I was sort of on the fence about Rick throughout this series and ending up just absolutely loving his story and so glad I had him pegged all wrong - it just made his story that much better. Great storyline and as always with this authors books, my attention was grabbed at the very beginning and I couldn't put it down. I loved the audio narration as well!!
