"Charity's Cross" by MaryLu Tyndall

About the Book:
Suspected of killing her husband, Charity Westcott flees on the first ship out of Portsmouth, England heading for the colonies. Loathing all men after her abusive marriage, she hopes to reunite with her family in Charles Towne, but the ship ends up in Nassau. When she spots her husband’s brother, who is intent on seeing her hang, boarding her ship, she jumps overboard.
 
Elias Dutton, preacher and son of the famous pirate, Rowan Dutton, must get to Barbados as soon as possible. His sister is in danger, and his parents have charged him with her safety. He cannot let them down—again.  But after rescuing a madcap woman from the bay, he now finds himself tricked into masquerading as her husband so they both can procure passage to Barbados.

Pirates, storms, shipwreck and betrayal threaten to delay the couple in their journey even as sparks fly between them. With her brother-in-law in fast pursuit, the last thing Charity wants is help from a man, especially a religious one, but she has no choice. After Elias’ heart was broken by a sordid woman who nearly ruined his life, he seeks a godly woman pure as the virgin sands of the Caribbean. He believes he has found such a woman in Charity. Until he discovers she is a murderer and is now faced with two choices: letting her go or turning her in to the authorities.

My Review:
This is my first book by MaryLu Tyndall and it won’t be my last.  This was a great book!  I loved the action and romance.  I love books where you feel for the characters and I felt so horrible for Charity.  Elias was a great character to come in and show her Who's important and Who she can turn to in her time of need.   This book was such an adventure; there was never a dull moment!  I’m so excited to read the other books in the series that I ended up buying them!

~I received a free copy of this book from the author and CelebrateLit in exchange for my honest review.~
