June 1766 – Havana, Cuba

Adam Fletcher begins a life-altering quest when he travels to help deliver cargo in the West Indies. Not long after the Carolina Gypsy arrives in the bustling port of Havana, Cuba, Adam ventures out on his own to track down a man who he has been told may have information about his father.

His plans are complicated, however, when he ends up being taken hostage by the very men he hired as interpreters.

When his shipmates receive a ransom letter, they launch a desperate search to find him, but meanwhile, Adam plots his own escape from the hands of his captors. Once he discovers who’s behind it all, he starts thinking that maybe he should have left well-enough alone instead of trying to dig up secrets that were buried in the past.

Captured in the Caribbean is the second book in the Adam Fletcher Adventure Series of historical fiction novels. If you like fast-moving adventures, impetuous young heroes, suspense-filled plots, and a dash of romance, then you'll love Sara Whitford's entertaining series!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sara Whitford's third-great-grandfather, William Morris, wrote their family lineage in a tattered, old copy of Robinson Crusoe. Adventure, literature, and history are in her blood.

Ever since she can remember, Whitford has been fascinated by the intriguing past of the coastal North Carolina region that has been home to her family for centuries. How could she not be, with stories of intrepid explorers, Indian kings, and ordinary Bath town boys-turned-pirates-like that notorious sea rogue known as Blackbeard? In her Adam Fletcher Adventure Series, Whitford weaves together colonial-era tales that incorporate true life (but often little known) historical facts with stories and characters inspired by her own decades of research.

I was Captivated in the Caribbean by this book!

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

Really enjoyed this colorfully woven tale, with its many layers and startling six-degrees of separation surprises.

Adam Fletcher is the likeable and intense hero of this action-packed historical fiction series set in the mid-18th century. Although grounded in the Carolinas and the port city of Beaufort featured in Sara Whitford's first book, "The Smuggler's Gambit", "Captured in the Caribbean" travels to Cuba with a sailing crew of high-spirited, sometimes well-lubricated, scamps and scoundrels. One of them is described as being about as handsome as an oyster, a description that will stick with me for awhile I suspect:)

You can't help being caught up in the spirit of adventure as young Adam Fletcher sets out try to find the man who may be his father against the backdrop and intrigue of Havana in a time of pirates and rum runners and slave ships and - in Adam's case - kidnappers.

Whitford builds Adam's character throughout the intrigue that finds him at first naively trusting and ultimately calculating and savvy. He's also bit of a MacGyver with a pocket-knife, and most endearing when defending his mother's honor and discovering curiosity after curiosity in his family history.

After a satisfying read, I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next. Recommended.

Sara Whitford has done it again!

"Captured in the Caribbean" immerses the reader in the 1760s, this time in Cuba! The author has a masterful ability to capture a time period. Her extensive research is evident but not overwhelming; it enhances the story and brings history to life.

The plot is entertaining and engaging, chock full of plot twists and surprises. It is also populated by characters you either love or hate. Time and again I found I couldn't put this book down.

This is a great book for anyone interested in the Colonial Era. I finished it in no time at all, and I look forward to the next book in the series!

Good for Young Adults

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2018

This series introduces the reader to events just before the American Revolution. This particular story evolved very slowly with a trading junket to Cuba , but improved as it went along. The protagonist discovers the identity of his father and relationships between that individual and his mother, grandmother, and grandfather. This series would be a good learning experience for young adults, especially today when school systems are failing to teach history and civics.

Adam's adventures in Havana kept interested from start to finish. No spoilers, but the action flows throughout and the storyline was enjoyable . I am looking forward to reading the next volume. I highly recommend this series.

Short in Some Location Details, but Full in Great Adventure

It’s obvious that the author is not as familiar with 18th century Havana as she is colonial North Carolina, but I still fully enjoyed the story and the wonderful character revelations.

A great read, and well worth your time

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2015

In the sequel to The Smuggler's Gambit, again the author Sara Whitford has a winner. The story continues where the first book leaves the reader, with the main character Adam Fletcher going out to sea for the first time on a trade run for his boss, Emmanuel Rogers. Adam is on a journey of his own, however, once the ship docks in Havana - he goes out alone in search of a man who can give him information about the father Adam has never known. Adam's character develops and matures in Captured in the Caribbean from how he acted in The Smuggler's Gambit enough that it is believable, but not too much. The twist near the end got me - I had guessed a different outcome for Adam and his father's family. A great read, and well worth your time.

Loved it!

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2016

This book moved at a faster pace than book 1 (but I tend to feel that way about most series.) Because I was familiar with Adam from The Smugglers Gambit, it was a pleasure to see his growth and development as a character. And he is quite the character! Lol Loved the action. Loved the surprises - normally I'm pretty good at guessing what's coming. I think this will continue to be a fun series for me and my daughter (12) to enjoy. I am also going to recommend the series to my daughter's middle school humanities department. My daughter learned a lot of history while enjoying the fiction. Besides, who doesn't like a good story with pirates?! Looking forward book 3!

This is the second in the series. Adam Fletcher voyages to Havana, Cuba, in search of his father, but he discovers much more.
Whilst in Havana, Adam manages to get kidnapped. Thus, a series of adventures begins. During which he learns about his family history.
The second book is all about answering questions and sets the tone for future books.
