Review of The Reckoning

When Morgan Shaw crept into the hold of a pirate ship replica at San Diego’s Tall Ship Festival, she only wanted to avoid the guy who had just dumped her, not wake up aboard a real pirate ship three-hundred years in the past. Nor cause Captain Rowan to lose the prize he is chasing. Yet when she accidentally divulges Rowan’s secret to a longtime nemesis, events are triggered that could cost them both their lives and change the course of history forever. Coming July 2015!: Title:  The Reckoning

Author: Marylu Tyndall
Series: Legacy of the King's Pirates
 
Chapters: 32

Pages: 330

Genre: Christian Historical fiction, Christian Historical Romance Pirates

Rating: 5 stars


The Reckoning is the fifth book in The Legacy of the Kings Pirate series by Marylu Tyndall.  Morgan Shaw is a girl in the 21st century that somehow finds herself on a pirate ship in the Caribbean. Rowan Dutton believes that he has to be pirate in order to make up for what he put his sister through.  As a modern girl Morgan's not making it easy on Rowan.

It's to believe that two people born basically three hundred years apart would ever find common ground. But the banter between Morgan and Rowan is one of the things that make the story.


I love pirate novels and time travel. So I was thrilled when Marylu Tyndall my favorite author of pirate story had written a time traveling pirate novel.  But not only was that it part of my favorite series of hers.  I enjoyed this novel it's my favorite book of The Legacy of the Kings Pirate series. While I can't pick a favorite pirate hero of Marylu's Morgan is my favorite heroine.
