Surrender the Dawn by M.L. Tyndall

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


SURRENDER THE DAWN, book three in the Surrender to Destiny series from M.L. Tyndall, once again takes you on a sea-faring adventure of action and romance.

Cassandra Channing is determined to provide for her family after the loss of her father and brothers to the War of 1812. She takes the family coffers and tries to invest in a privateer, but no one welcomes a woman as a business partner. That is, except Luke Heaton. Cassandra struggles with her decision to invest in the town rogue. His reputation precedes him and it is far from upstanding or gentlemanly. But, Cassandra has no choice. Her family is in debt and she is looking for a miracle. So, deciding to risk it all, she becomes partners with Luke. She soon realizes her heart will never be the same.

Luke Heaton looks at a business arrangement with the beautiful Cassandra Channing as just the thing he needs to turn his life around. Wanting nothing more than a chance to start over, he welcomes Ms. Channing’s wiliness to invest in him and his ship. Of course, his heart too quickly becomes attached to the woman he knows he will ultimately disappoint.

Highs and lows, losses and struggles, Luke’s bad luck continues to assault him, while Cassandra finds herself falling even further in love with the man that has broken her heart.

M.L. Tyndall does not disappoint. Her novels always captive the reader with adventure, drama, love gained and love lost. I have enjoyed all of her books immensely. The only tiniest bit of regret I had was that the hero and heroine did not have as much interaction as I would’ve liked. Most of the book is spent with them apart, longing for each other. Other than that, I was once again charmed by the rich characters and colorful setting that make up a Tyndall book. Good job, Marylu. You’ve done it again.
