Surrender the Dawn
MaryLu Tyndall
(Barbour Publishing)
ISBN: 978-1602601673
August ,2011/320 pages/$12.99

You’ll be gasping for air in this seafaring romance by popular author and Christy Award nominee MaryLu Tyndall. Baltimore’s Cassandra Channing will do anything to provide for her family—even if it means hiring the town rogue as a privateer. Luke Heaton is a handsome rake with a tortured past who is blackmailed by the British into selling supplies to their ships just off the coast. Cassandra and Luke’s worlds collide as they are drawn into danger, secrets, romance, and war. But when the British begin to bombard Fort McHenry, how long can they protect their love—and each other?

MY THOUGHTS:
MaryLu Tyndall swept me away once again with this final novel of her Surrender to Destiny series. Set in the tumultuous time of the War of 1812, danger lurks on land and sea. I simultaneously admired Cassandra for her gumption and wanted to lock her in her room to keep her safe! And Luke is the perfect hero. MaryLu expertly combines adventure, faith, romance, and danger into a thoroughly enjoyable read. As the story built to its climax, I could practically see the rockets' red glare as Luke and Cassandra experience the historic battle that occurred 197 years ago today, on September 13-14, 1814, at Baltimore's Fort McHenry. Don't miss this exciting historical novel!
