When Grace Westcott is kidnapped by a French mercenary, tossed
aboard his ship, and told she will be sold to a Spanish Don in Columbia,
she cannot imagine what she has done to deserve such a horrid fate.
She has spent her entire life serving God and helping the poor, not to
mention trying to save the souls of her two wayward sisters. Thinking
perhaps God has sent her to preach to the vile captain and his crew,
Grace's every attempt to correct their sinful ways is rewarded with only
mockery. When Grace's situation grows far worse than she could
imagine, she is forced to face her own human weaknesses. But she isn't
prepared to face her biggest weakness of all-falling in love with the
nefarious captain, Rafe Dubois.
Captain Rafe Dubois hates nothing more than a religious pretence of piety. Fleeing a home of abuse and betrayal under the thumb of his self-righteous father, he became a mercenary upon the Caribbean. There isn't any job, no matter how vile, he won't undertake in order to amass the fortune he needs to build a hospital for the poor in his home town of Port-de-Paix. The praises of the people fill a craving in his soul for the self-worth and value he never received from his father, while giving him a sense of purpose for his otherwise reckless life. That is, until he meets the saintly Miss Grace Westcott who continually berates his every move.

Reviews for 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.

This author has done it again!
She has written a story I have
thoroughly enjoyed. Sometimes
when you read a series of
books, one of them doesn't meet
your expectations. Not so with
this series. They have all been
very enjoyable!

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....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.

As with all her books so far,
MaryLu Tyndall's writing
exquisitely creates the world of
her story, bringing to life all the
stench and grimy underbelly of
life on the ocean as well as the
opulence of the Caribbean
plantation. The steamy jungle of
Colombia is palpable

As usual, MaryLu provides great
characters, stunning backdrops,
comedy, heart-stopping
romance, and plenty of
excitement along with strong
spiritual messages

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.

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.

Ms. Tyndall knows how to
craft a great story filled with
action, suspense and
wonderful romance. Don't
start this book late at night
because it will be very
difficult to put it down or stop
thinking about it.
