THE BLUE ENTRANTRESS, sequel to THE RED SIREN by MaryLu Tyndall does not disappoint, nor do the Westcott sisters. When we begin THE BLUE ENTRANTRESS, we find Hope Westcott on the auction block in St. Kitts. How did she find herself there, you ask? Unfortunately, Hope has always had problems making good choices. And when she decides to run after the man she loves, she gets the surprise of her life. When it seems she is destined to be sold as an indentured slave, Captain Nathaniel Mason, a man who knows her from Charles Towne, comes to her rescue. But the price he pays is steep. His ship for her freedom.
Hope is both amazed and grateful that Nathaniel – a man she wouldn’t give the time of day to in Charles Towne – would sacrifice so much on her behalf. But when Nathaniel finds out it was of Hope’s own doing that she found herself in her harrowing predicament, he’s angered that he lost so much for a woman who cares so little about anyone but herself. But Hope’s harrowing experiences don’t end there.
Surviving hurricanes, shipwreck, fever, and pirates, Hope finds herself drawn to Nathaniel. But when she so easily gives her attention to another, Nathaniel decides she will never change her ways, and tries to ignore his growing feelings for her.
I could not put THE BLUE ENTRANTRESS down. As with the rest of MaryLu’s books, she captivates you with lively characters, rich scenery, and explosive action. Her storytelling techniques are among the best in Christian fiction. My only regret . . . having to wait until Spring for THE RAVEN SAINT.
