Betrayed by the man she longed to marry, Hope Westcott finds herself on an island in the Caribbean being auctioned off as a slave to the highest bidder. Raised in an unloving home and after enduring a difficult childhood, Hope's search for love and self-worth have led her down a very dangerous path. All she ever wanted was to find true love and to some day open an orphanage where she could raise children with all the love she never experienced |
as a child. But how can a woman with a sordid past ever hope to run an orphanage, let alone attract the love of an honorable man? Determined to overcome the shame of his mother's past, Nathaniel Mason worked for many years to build his own fleet of merchant ships in an effort to finally acquire the respect of Charles Towne society. Ignoring the call of God on his life to become a preacher, he forges ahead with his plans for success at a distant port in the Caribbean, when he sees a young lady he knows from Charles Towne being sold as a slave. In an effort to save Hope, he is forced to sell one of his two ships, only to discover that her predicament was caused by her own bad behavior. Angry and determined to rid himself of her as soon as possible, Nathaniel embarks on a journey that will change the course of his life. |

No one writes a pirate story better than Christy award finalist Tyndall! This romantic, action-packed adventure illustrates the healing, redemptive power of God's grace while still offering readers the excitement they crave. Chandra McNeil of Romantic Times |
If you have not read M.L. Tyndale, you are missing out on one of the best authors at combining character-driven, action packed historicals (on sea and on land) with the underlying inspiring message of the Lord is there for everyone who enters his house. Midwest Book Reviews |
Written with skill and insight, and a keen knowledge of history and all things nautical, this thrill-ride of a romance makes a perfect beach read or stay-cation. One of the best books I've read in a few years, and a great tribute to a skilled romance writer. Katheen Maher - author |
Author M.L. Tyndall creates characters that leap off the page-characters you will root for and others you'll want to scream at and cry over. Her vivid descriptions place you in the scene, whether aboard ship, on a deserted island, or on the auction block. With sword fights, cut throat pirates, a devout missionary, spiritual warfare, and a determined hero and heroine, you will love this swashbuckling tale of adventure long ago. TitleTrakk Book Reviews |
Marylu Tyndall's THE BLUE ENCHANTRESS would make an excellent Hallmark movie. With a superb plot, riveting characters, high action drama, this book overflows with all the elements that romance readers crave. This is the second book in the CHARLES TOWNE BELLES series, but it is strong enough to stand alone on its own. Very highly recommended. Romance Junkies by Suzie Housley |
I really enjoyed this novel. It had the right touch of mystery, intrigue, romance and faith - which is a combination that is potent.. . . I am eagerly looking forward to the next book in this series and I am sure that it will be as good if not better than this one! Jasmine Abraham from Romance Readers |
The Blue Enchantress is a captivating tale of love, forgiveness, acceptance, personal and spiritual growth, and learning to yield to the Master's will. M.L. Tyndall breathes such life into her characters that the reader is reluctant to bid them farewell on the last page Delia Latham - author |
You can also feel the emotions of the characters, from rage to deep love and compassion, from icy coldness to strong passion. Mrs. Tyndall is the whole package as a writer: her characters are well-developed, complex, and believable; the action is superb and often breath-taking; while we expect certain developments to take place (she is, after all, writing romance!), there are quite a few surprising events and changes throughout the story Cathi Hassan |
