The Blue Enchantress

‘The Blue Enchantress’ by MaryLu Tyndall is a Christian historical romance and is the second book of three in the Charles Towne Belles series. Each book deals with one of three sisters and continues from the last one.

Hope Westcott is one of Rear Admiral Henry Westcott’s daughters. Her father and her sisters are all too busy for her and the love and attention that she craves. While in Charles Towne, she falls for a man named Lord Arthur Falkland. Because her innocence was stolen from her some years ago, she doesn’t have many reservations about being with Falkland. He loves her and will soon ask for her hand in marriage she assured herself. Then the day came when he told her he was leaving and no mention was made of marriage to her. She decides that she will stow away on his ship and wait until they are too far away from land before she shows herself. Then he will have to do the noble thing and marry her!

Not only does Lord Falkland get a surprise, but so does Lady Falkland and Hope when she finally comes out of hiding. Falkland was just playing with Hope and so she didn’t realize that she was his mistress!! Authur plays at not knowing who she is and has the captain lock her away until they reach small island of St. Kitts in the West Indies. There the captain has being sold like a slave to any man who wants her!

Captain Nathaniel Mason first met Hope in Charles Towne. He tried everything he could think of to get her to notice him. But she rebuffed his affections at every turn. He is in St. Kitts when he sees her being sold like a slave! He gives up something precious to him in order have enough to buy her. Then he finds that she wasn’t kidnapped like he thought she was, she willing boarded Lord Falkland’s ship! She wasn’t the woman he thought she was. She was nothing more than a harlot!

Nathaniel doesn’t have much money left afterwards, so he hires on to help crew the ship they take to return to Charles Towne. But everything seems to go wrong after he saved Hope; a giant storm, being ship wreaked, pirates, and many other problems! She couldn’t be the one the Lord had picked out to be his wife!

**Spoiler** Although the romance wraps up between the two main characters by the end of the book, the end of the book has the next sister in trouble, so this book is to be continued somewhat.

This is an excellent book and it will keep you in suspense throughout most of the book. If you love stories about pirates or adventures on the high seas, then you should love this book.
