Review
M.L. Tyndall delivers yet again. This third book in the Charles Towne Belles series does not disappoint. Every page adds something new and unexpected, holding the reader captive until no page is left to turn. Packed with pathos, adventure, humor, and an intricately woven spiritual message, it fully satisfies, yet leaves one longing for more. Don’t miss The Raven Saint.
Wow! What a swashbuckling adventure of a read. The Raven Saint is a powerful conclusion to The Charles Towne Belle Series by author MaryLu Tyndall—and it’s my personal favorite. Tyndall nails the rogue hero persona in the character of Rafe Dubois. What’s not to love in a man who wears a white buccaneer shirt and jackboots? Oh, yes…Captain Dubois is all that and so much more. This jaw-dropping hunk of a captain is not only unpredictable but clever and courageous as well. He’s a bad boy champion who steals the heroine’s heart along with the reader’s. But besides the spicy attraction between the captain and his captive, there are many spiritual aspects that author Tyndall conveys throughout the story. She shows how holier-than-thou judgmental attitudes hurt everyone involved. That revenge does not end with the feeling of satisfaction. And that spiritual warfare, though not visible to the human eye, is a very real battle going on around us. Do yourself a favor and set sail on the Caribbean this winter by picking up a copy of The Raven Saint. It’s way cheaper than a vacation but will take you away just the same.
(Kelly Klepfer Novel Reviews 20100222)No one writes adventurous seafaring romances quite like Tyndall. In book three of the Charles Towne Belles series, fans might find the plot familiar but they''ll still enjoy the romance, intrigue and adventure.
(Chandra McNeil Romantic Times 20100405) The Raven Saint is a fabulous book! The Raven Saint is a swashbuckling story that will keep you glued to your chair. M.L. Tyndall doesn’t whitewash things, but tackles issues like slavery, revenge, and forgiving past hurts. The faith message is deftly woven in to every fiber of the story and will inspire readers.
MaryLu Tyndall''s Charles Towne Belles is beautifully orchestrated! The Raven Saint is third in this highly popular series. If you are a fan of historical romance, then you definitely want to put the name MaryLu Tyndall high atop your to buy list. This author writes with a passionate flare that captures the true essence of romance.

Adventure and Love to leave a smile on your face,
By Sheriberry (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Raven Saint (Charles Towne Belles) (Paperback)
Betrayed! Kidnapped! Grace Westcott finds herself aboard a pirate ship. And not for just any reason but to be sold as common cargo to her father's enemy. Come what may, she is determined to hold onto her faith, even if that means resisting the handsome, volatile Capitaine Rafe Dubois. Searching for God's purpose in her dire circumstances, Grace discovers much more.
Monsieur Rafe Dubois, is a French Privateer, who enjoys ruffling the feathers of his newest property "mon petit chou pieuse" (little pious cabbage) After being hurt by his father, he has no use for God or His so called followers. Sparks fly and the battle of whits ensues as Rafe and Grace meet their match, each one trying to bend the other to his own will. Embracing adventure, action, betrayal and love on the high seas, The Raven Saint will keep you reading from the first sentence to the last leaving you with a smile on your face and sigh in your heart.

Outstanding!,
This review is from: The Raven Saint (Charles Towne Belles) (Paperback)
This is the 3rd book in MaryLu Tyndall's Charles Towne Belles series and it is an outstanding book! I loved it from cover to cover. MaryLu Tyndall has a knack for making her reader part of the action. She makes you feel as if you are standing on the deck of the ship with the sea spray wetting your face. Her characters are real people. She is not afraid to tackle the issue of spiritual warfare, either, which is rare in Christian fiction. I applaud her for this because spiritual warfare is quite real for the believer.
Rafe Dubois is a wonderful hero to Grace Wescott's heroine as well. We get a brief reunion with the other two sisters, Faith and Hope, in the epilogue. There is another sister, Charity, and I do hope Ms. Tyndall features her in a future book. I love these ladies and hate to say goodbye to them. This is a wonderful book with a very deep spiritual element to it that a lot of Christian writers do not include in their books. I dearly loved and and I always snatch this writer's books off the shelves as soon as I see one.

She Saved the Best For Last,
By
This review is from: The Raven Saint (Charles Towne Belles) (Paperback)
I'm so glad I got this book and it was my first book of 2010. What a way to start the year! I love MaryLu Tyndall and this series so much, but the saying "saved the best for last" really fit this book well for many reasons. Not the least of which is the dashing mercenary captain, Rafe Dubois. I loved his character. In full disclosure, it didn't hurt that the author let it slip she pictured Rafe looking like Orlando Bloom in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I ask you, what's not to love there? lol
Seriously, this book tackled an issue a lot of Christian fiction doesn't. Sometimes believers are the problem. Sometimes we're the ones needing fixing~ for a whole lot of things. Grace isn't a bad person, but she has become more than a little judgmental and it's hurting her relationships with friends and family, and ultimately, it doesn't please God. How she comes to that revelation and deals with it is both realistic, tender and at times somewhat funny. Add to that a serious and passionate attraction to a man she is certain has to be evil incarnate ~ and poor Grace has quite the journey. Rafe is a complex character in his own right. He doesn't want to be attracted to Grace any more than she wants him and yet... he can't seem to keep his thoughts from her. She is nothing like he expected her to be. Will he be able to hand her over to the Don knowing she isn't who he thought she was? Plus, just like the rest of the books in the series, there are plenty of other surprises and danger in store for the whole crew. The romance in this book sizzled like yummy bacon on a Saturday morning. Every character reached out and grabbed your heart in their own way. MaryLu Tyndall captured not only Rafe and Grace, but colorful characters like Father Alers ~ a crewman who had once been a Jesuit but had given up his faith, Thorn ~ Rafe's first mate and a man who seems as out of place on the ship as Grace, but is determined to remain, and who can leave out Spyglass? That's Rafe's cat who becomes more enamored with Grace than Rafe and saves her from trouble. This is a wonderful romance, filled with the action and adventure we've come to expect from this author.
