Dajon Waite’s career with his father’s company was ruined when he lost his ship to an impudent female pirate. Five years later, he’s rejoined the British navy, gotten his life straight with the Lord, and has accepted a new post in Charles Town. His goal? To capture and bring to justice the infamous Red Siren—the very same woman pirate who nearly destroyed him. But when Admiral Westcott charges him with the care of his three daughters, Dajon’s goals blur. He doesn’t want the responsibility of these spitfire girls, but he also can’t deny the charms of the oldest. Faith has a way about her—a strength, a courage . . . a rebellious streak that at once impresses and alarms him. She seems to hate men, and she is bitter toward the Lord. Still, his heart gets tangled up in her web. One thing continues to bother him, though—for all its impossibility, she bares a disturbing resemblance to the Red Siren. The Red Siren is yet another powerful, captivating tale by MaryLu Tyndall. As the story progressed, full of adventure and romance and danger lurking in every crevice, she managed to truly stump me. How, I wondered with the turn of every page, is she going to pull this off? How can I be rooting for the pirate heroine and the naval officer out to capture her at the same time? How can they possibly arrive at both justice and romance? The conundrum had me turning those pages all the faster, propelling both me and the story to new levels of anticipation with each chapter. And of course, with her usual way of combining the power of God with the power of human love, the author delivers an ending that will leave you breathless and aquiver with delight. The Red Siren will join my shelf of favorites. I fell in love with the characters, was entirely gripped by the action, gleefully ignored all outside intrusions as the climax unfolded (even though dinner really needed cooked), and finished it with a smile on my face. I can’t wait for the next books in this series! This one’s definitely not to be missed by lovers of romance, historicals, or just a good pirate tale.
