Editorial Reviews

Review

4-1/2 Star Review!  "No one writes a pirate story better than Christy Award finalist Tyndall! This romantic action-packed adventure illustrates the healing, redemptive power of God''s grace while still offering readers the excitement they crave."

(Romantic Times 20091009)

The Blue Enchantress is a captivating tale of love, forgiveness, acceptance, personal and spiritual growth, and learning to yield to the Master’s will. M.L. Tyndall breathes such life into her characters that the reader is reluctant to bid them farewell on the last page. This second installment in the Charles Town Belles series is chock full of laughter and tears, sin and redemption, love and its seedier counterpart. The Blue Enchantress is a pirate’s chest of literary treasure … more than worth the voyage!

(Delia Latham My Book Bag blog )

Marylu Tyndall’s THE BLUE ENCHANTRESS would make an excellent Hallmark movie.  With a superb plot, riveting characters, high action drama, this book overflows with all the elements that romance readers crave.  This is the second book in the CHARLES TOWNE BELLES series, but it is strong enough to stand alone on its own.  Very highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful adventure on the high seas, November 3, 2009

This review is from: The Blue Enchantress (Charles Towne Belles) (Paperback)

I really would like to give this 3.5 out of 5 stars.

For years I have had a thing for romances that take place on the high seas so this book immediately caught my attention. Somehow I missed that it was a Christian Fiction book which I am always a little leery about because I don't like books that are overly preachy. While this book has a lot of preaching, miracles from God, etc I still found myself enthralled. I finished this book in one day and did not want to put it down until I was done. I felt sorry for Hope as she is being auctioned off as an indentured servant but she quickly lost my sympathy with her attitude. She was a flirt who did not realize how her actions affected others. I had similar feelings with Nathaniel in that I initially was really impressed with his gallantry in rescuing Hope but then he turned me off by being so judgmental. Yes, I did just state that Hope seemed to be an insensitiveflirt but as a Christian one would expect him to withhold judgment on someone he did not truly know.

What held me so captivated was watching the transformation of both Hope and Nathaniel as they both realize their faults and begin to over come them and finally realize that they love one another. The supporting cast was also wonderful. I loved Abigail although I find it almost unreal that someone could be that perfect. My other favorite character was Captain Poole. It was my first time reading about a pirate who honors others marriage vows and is also god fearing.

This was a wonderfully fun read that left me wanting to read more from Tyndall.

Hope Westcott has a lifetime of bad choices under her dainty little belt. The most recent one--an affair with a married man--lands her on an auction block to be sold into slavery.

Captain Nathaniel Mason is running from God's call to the ministry. He is determinedly building a shipping business, ensuring himself a lifetime of security, which he mistakenly believes wealth can buy. His weakness is a secret love for the vain and frivolous Hope Westcott. When he sees her on the auction block, his love demands he sacrifice his ship and its cargo to save her.

Nathaniel has every intention of returning his lovely new possession to her home in Chares Towne, but God uses stormy seas, shipwreck, illness, and pirates to waylay the headstrong couple until they see things His way.

The Blue Enchantress is a captivating tale of love, forgiveness, acceptance, personal and spiritual growth, and learning to yield to the Master's will. M.L. Tyndall breathes such life into her characters that the reader is reluctant to bid them farewell on the last page. This second installment in the Charles Town Belles series is chock full of laughter and tears, sin and redemption, love and its seedier counterpart. The Blue Enchantress is a pirate's chest of literary treasure ... more than worth the voyage!

I enjoyed reading this book. I actually thought it better than it's predecessor. One of my problems with the Red Siren was the over the top sensual detail. It seemed to me that this book was slightly better handled. Though the focus on sensuality was still a bit too much, it felt not quite as bad as The Red Siren. Overall, it was an enjoyable read and had a good Christian message. Very well written.
