Her current release is The Blue Enchantress

About the book:

Trying to forget about a painful past, Hope Westcott plunges into Charles Towne society trying to find love and acceptance. Captain Nathaniel Mason is determined to build his shipping business and doesn’t need a romantic entanglement—especially with a woman like Hope. When Hope’s adventure-seeking puts her freedom—and her life—in jeopardy, will Nathaniel turn his back or follow God’s voice and sacrifice everything to save her?

My review:

The Blue Enchantress is another excellent story from M. L. Tyndall. I have read all of this author's books to date. This story contains the typical Tyndall fire that all good romances must possess for me to thoroughly enjoy them. The kisses are just scorching enough (for a Christian romance novel) to make the reader breathless.

The back and forth tug of war between the characters and the misunderstandings was also very well done. I particularly enjoyed the character arc with Hope and how much she grew through her suffering. I loved how she had to learn to forgive herself and allow God to unconditionally love her. Isn't it true that before we can love ourselves or unselfishly love someone else, we must fully understand God's unconditional love for us? That was SO well done. The tension was just right, too.

Overall the pacing was good, but there was a small slow spot in the middle. I can't recall where that was, but it didn't last long and I plowed right through to the end. I am looking forward to the third installment in this series. I can't get enough of this author's books and the adventures her characters have as they travel across the seas. I highly recommend this story to people who love books with romantic tension and a strong spiritual element.

Order the book on Barnes & Noble

Yippee! The final draft of the novel 'Rescued' is finished. Now comes the two week wait and then an out loud reading of the manuscript. From there it's up to the publisher. I'm exhausted and still have to teach creative writing at the local colleg...

Mystery blog

So– who saw New Moon?

~~~ So, those of you who saw it, did you like it? What’d you think? I’ll go watch it when the hype cools down. Yeah, I know, I’m boring, and I’m so okay with it.

Friday Funnies

Happy Friday, everyone. Hope your week has treated you well. I love roaming the internet to find funny videos . . . and it always seems to come down to people falling that make me laugh so hard. Why is that? Maybe because I’ve fallen enough in my life to have spurred on some serious laughing fits myself. [...]

Throwback Thursdays

Okay, how many remember Miami Vice? Admit it, just hearing that name got that catchy little tune rockin’ in  your brain. ~~~~ Oh, but don’t forget about the classy sports jackets. . . Holy cow. I had to chuckle when I saw this stuff. It threw me through a time warp. Did you watch the show? Who was your fav, Don Johnson [...]
