Lori Wick certainly is one of my favorite Christian/Romance writers, coming up to a close second to Dee Henderson. And probably my favorite books from Lori Wick are the Kensington Chronicles.
"Wings of the Morning" is about young Victoria "Smokey" Simmons, captain of one of the fastest ship of the Atlantic, the 'Aramis'. When her father, the famous Clancy, had died and left her alone in the world, she asks God to give her strength. Three years have passed and Smokey begins dreaming of life away from the sea. She wants to have a home and raise a family. When she meets another sea captain, Dallas Knight, she believes that her dreams can finally come true. Dallas, also hopelessly in love with her, shares her dreams. But when a scheming and evil pirate comes into their lives, Smokey and Dallas' hopes for the future may come to an end. Will they have the strength to overcome these painful events and to trust themselves into their Father in heaven?
A truly marvelous tale taking place in the mid-1800s, "Wings of the Morning" will have you swept into a world of romance and suspense. I love the wonderful characters of Smokey, who is young and shy yet has great spirit, and Dallas, who will do anything to protect her. They are so real that it is very hard not to like them and to hope they have their dreams fulfilled.
The other three books of the Kensington Chronicles are "The Hawk and the Jewel", "Who Brings Forth the Wind", and "The Knight and the Dove", all of them filled with romance and suspense, plus they all are about people who love and honor their God. My suggestion to you is that if you have never read any of Lori Wick's books, you should start with these four books.

This book really deserves more than 5 stars. It is off the chart!!! It is one of the best books I have ever read! The entire Kensington Chronicles series is fabulous. All of the books in the series took me places I've never been and knew very little about. But Wings of the Morning is my favorite. It is loaded with adventure, thrill, suspense, love and romance, and God throughout it all. I was learning Scripture while living a whole new life on the high seas. The captivation starts with page one and doesn't end even when the book ends. I highly recommend this book, and every other book that has Lori Wick's name on it.

Format: Paperback
A wonderful, unusual story of love, adventure, and social graces in the 1800's. While carrying a unisex nickname and hiding behind men's clothes, Smokey is a beautiful woman... and a gift to all her know her, except the pirate who wants her.
Lori Wick makes places I have never seen and lifestyles I will never experience feel like home. So realistic is her story line that I can feel the bumps as the carriage navigates dry land, an unusual place for a ship's captain.
This book 2 of the "Kensington Chronicles" series is a must read! While a bit more enjoyable if you have read #1 (The Hawk and The Jewel), this `stand alone' book stands out on it's own. A new cover has been released on this 1994 book.

This book was cute; especially with the hard-core main character Smokey, the woman captain. I did think that the plot dragged out too long, mostly when Smokey ran away irrationally at the end from being afraid to communicate her fears to her fiance. But as typical of Lori Wick, happy endings all around.

Ohmygosh! Lori Wick has done it again. And to think that I almost passed over this series. I've read three of her first four series' and am SHOCKED beyond belief to admit that this is by FAR her best yet!!!

How anybody could give this a negative rating is beyond me. Her books are long and have several plot lines. It usually takes me awhile to get through her books, but I COULD NOT put this book down! I cried several times and my heart warmed at the love Dallas had for Smokey!!! The mystery was on the edge of your seat stuff - I had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. Just when you take a sigh of relief that it's over, the mystery thickens and takes you into a whole different direction!!!

I cracked up over Smoky's fencing. I CRIED at what happened to her in the prison. I was so excited at the romance.

That's another thing - in so many of her books, the "REAL" romance starts at the end of the book (like it the Hawk and the Jewel), but in this one, it happened at around the first quarter of the book. I enjoyed all the shared innocent intimacies the couple shared!

I, of course, would love to know with whats-her-name (Dallas' old girlfriend). Maybe it said so in the epilogue and I just missed it trying to hurry and get it finished...

READ THIS BOOK!!! IT IS simply WONDERFUL!!!

It was a delight getting to know Smokey and Dallas and to watch God's love grow in them. Smokey was sure of herself as a ship's captain but unsure of herself as a woman. When she had to deal with a shifty pirate and a nasty stay in a prison, she learned to mean on The Lord even more. It was a great read.

Great story line in this one! Lori Wick is an excellent writer and she, in my estimation, is showing some of her best work here. It was hard to put down!!! Full of high seas adventure, life's unexpected challenges, faith, love, romance and even courtroom drama! Well worth the read. I give it top marks!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
