Book Description

Publication Date: August 13, 1997

Authors Jim and Terri Kraus conclude their trilogy of Treasures of the Caribbean in Journey to the Crimson Sea. The 17th-century Caribbean island of Barbados hosts this unique story of love, loyalty, and adventure. The meaning of forgiveness is tested as Vicar Thomas Mayhew falls in love with the reformed prostitute Eileen Palmerston. Their relationship is questioned by many on the island, including Vicar Petley, who seeks to excommunicate Thomas for bringing shame to the church. Thomas faces a difficult choice: Stay with the woman he plans to marry or retain his position as vicar. And no swashbuckling adventure would be complete without a search for buried treasure and a final clash with pirates on the high seas. Journey to the Crimson Sea delivers romance, adventure, and spiritual insights in an exotic setting that all readers can enjoy.

From Library Journal

Reformed pirate William Hawkes leaves behind an adventurous life on the sea to settle down to a sedate existence in the Caribbean with his new wife, Kathryne. Will's close friend Thomas Mayhew also moves to the port community of Bridgetown and takes a post as vicar at the local church. With Will and Kathryne blissfully happy, Thomas wonders if his own life would be fuller if he married. When Thomas falls in love, however, the woman is Eileen Palmerston, a reformed prostitute. Both church elders and community members are horrified at the romance. Soon Thomas is forced to decide between his job and his love. Action and adventure of an unobtrusive sort give extra life to this romantic drama. Recommended, especially for those libraries with the earlier books in the series (e.g., Passages of Gold, Tyndale, 1996).

This review is from: Journey to the Crimson Sea (Treasures of the Caribbean #3) (Paperback)

Jim and Terri have been a favorite writing team of mine for some time. Their Treasures of the Caribbean trilogy was a fantastic read. I was swept up into the tropical setting and the flow of each story. I appreciated how this husband and wife team followed the same main characters through three books, from their first meeting to their first children together as a married couple and beyond. The romance was very well written, as was the adventure. I didn't own the series when I read them (library copies), but bought them later as used books because they'd gone out of print. If us readers had could vote for another print run, I'd sign this series up for consideration. Great work!
