Christy J (USA: TN) (2009/10/03):
I love to read books about strong, confident women. Faith Westcott is definitely such a women, and strenth, confidence, and determination are all necessary traits considering the fact that she's a pirate. Right at the beginning, she takes command of a ship, The Red Siren, and makes it her own, not realizing the disgrace that will soon befall the ship's former captain. All that she can see is that it is up to her to provide for her sisters so that they're aren't all married off to horrible, greedy men. Faith father also intends to marry her off to such a man, Sir Wilhelm, and she must to everything she can to stop that from happening.The romance in this book is packed with intensity! Some of the scenes between Faith and Dajon just made my heart start fluttering, and reminded me very much of Julie Lessman's books which are also full of passionate scenes. I'm loving the fact that more and more of this type of writing is becoming more common in Christian fiction. It's okay to have passionate scenes between couples without stepping over the line, and as long as it's presented tastefully, I say bring it on! I would highly recommend this book if you like good historical fiction with a great romance. MaryLu Tyndall is quickly becoming a favorite of mine after reading one of her other novels, The Falcon and the Sparrow. Looks like I need to pull out her first pirate series....I doubt they disappoint!
