4.0 out of 5 stars A woman Pirate!, December 25, 2008

Upon starting this novel, I was not completely enthralled with the character of Faith. She is independent, and feminist, and arrogant. After learning her background and coming to understand her plight I was able to allow her into my heart more. My first adventure with MaryLu Tyndall's The Falcon and the Sparrow was able to show me that MaryLu was a fabulous story teller. This book was able to show me that I want more and more and that the story is not long enough. I have not yet read her original pirate series, but now I must, as well as I cannot wait for the next in the Charles Towne Belle Series to come out.



This book brings us three sisters with very different lives, a naval officer with a past but a present and future guided by God, as well as two ex-slaves that are learning more about love and family than they knew in their years before. The author truly brings to life realistic characters that make you smile and make you cringe. From the First Mate who does not know what he wants to the heir or the city who is a pompous fool. There is hope and a light for all people, it just depends on if you are strong enough to look for it.



It took a couple chapters, but once I was sucked in, and curious for more, I could not stop turning the pages until I found out what would happen next. At each turn of events and situation I had no clue as to how anything could possibly work out and I was pleasantly surprised through out the entire journey to be thoroughly entertained and educated in the pirate and naval world of early Charles Towne, Carolina.



I highly recommend this story as well as anything else by MaryLu (M.L.) Tyndall and other related authors as well such as Kathleen Y'Barbo. Go read it. You will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lady Pirates and Women having no say in their husband, August 2, 2010

By 

squiresj (Wasola, Mo) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Red Siren: Charles Towne Belle Series, Book 1 (Truly Yours Romance Series #29) (Paperback)

What a story - a lady pirate. I could so envision a man snared by this woman. Yet she harmed no one physically. The book is exactly what one would expect form a lady pirate.
Faith Westcott seems like I would envision a woman trying to break through the forced marriages of past times.
Dajon Waite shamed by faith when she captures his ship. 5 years lady she captures his heart. Intrigue, dangers, God's protection and plan so beautifully woven into a pirate tale.
A book you won't be able to put down. I truly loved it from beginning to ending.
I loved the way Dajon saved Faith in end.

I loved this series. It was a great light read. It kept my interest with a nice plot that I finished the 3 books very quickly. I like this author's use of adventure and humor. I will probably wait a few months and read them through again before donating them to our church library.
