WOW. What a different, refreshing, action filled book. You will be turning pages well into the night by this excellent new author. I can not wait until the next book in this great new series. Highly recommended.

A young woman on her way to Jamaica to find her father is marooned on a deserted island when her ship sinks. She manages to survive until a ship happens by--but is dismayed to learn it is a pirate ship. The captain is a man recently converted to following the Lord, however, so things may not be as
I enjoyed this tale of adventure and pirates, if unrealistic at times it made for a good yarn. There is a strong romantic element of course. The heroine stood her own and despite making some foolish choices was easy to like. This made for a good escape read.

I thoroughly enjoyed 'The Redemption'! The story centers around Lady Charlisse Bristol who is fleeing a cruel uncle. She boards a ship and sets out to find her father. A storm hits and sinks the ship but she somehow manages to drift to a deserted island. There she is slowly withering away. Then
What an exciting story. You fall in love with Edmund Merrick and admire Charlisse's spirit. The secondary characters are also very lovable. Except First Mate Kent, whom you love to hate. This story has it all, Romance, adventure, suspense and faith. You won't be disappointed. I am looking forward to the next book 'The Reliance' due out around Jan. Then the last book 'The Restitution'.

M.L. Tydall not only wrote an exciting action and love filled story, but a story in which God and His true love are really the center. God is not just thrown in here and there as in some "christian" romances. I will be reading more of her books.
