Tyndall has written a fascinating story that rivals Pirates of the Caribbean and Captain Merrick is giving Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) a run for his money too! I highly recommend this well-written high-seas novel that dares anyone to label it as merely just another romance. Sherri Myers Romance Junkies
