Luke Heaton is a drunkard, gambler and womanizer. He is bitter about his parents death, but as he promised his mother, he is taking care of his only brother. Once enslaved aboard a British ship with Noah and Marianne Brenin, his hatred of the British has not waned. When the lovely and sophisticated Cassandra Channing offers him a proposition, Luke finds himself agreeing, even though it means giving up his drinking and gambling ways.
Cassandra Channing is at her wits end. With the men in her family away at war, the responsibility of her mother and two young sisters has fallen on her shoulders. Her only hope is to sink her money into a privateer, hoping that profits will abound. She didnt, however, count on every captain on the coast laughing at her suggestion and pushing her way because of her gender. Abhorred by the idea that she may have to marry a Mr Crane for her familys well-being, she chooses to trust the town rogue Luke Heaton.
But is Luke simply a rogue or is there something more sinister at play? Cassandra will go great lengths to find out.
My Rating: 4 Stars
Poetic, fresh, and inviting are all words that I use to describe MaryLu Tyndalls writing. She is a master storyteller, weaving words into pictures. I find her writing style very poetic and visual. Each chapter and scene is written in such a way that you will find it hard to put down.
This is the third book in her Surrender to Destiny series and I loved how this book and the second book take place at virtually the same time. She weaves the characters from all three books into this one. If you havent read the other two, this one can be read as a stand alone. However, you will want to read the first two to be in the know on some of her references.
The Christian message in this book is refreshing and clear. I highly recommend it to readers in all walks of life.
