Surrender The Night by MaryLu Tyndall

Oh yay! I LOVED THIS BOOK! It kept me occupied and I just couldn't put it down. I was so into it that (Funny story coming up) I was making dinner and preheating the oven. There's a timer on the oven and I kept pushing the actual "off" button on the oven instead of the timer "off". Therefore I restarted the oven about three or four times. I finally had to force myself to put the book up until dinner and watering the garden and plants were done. Do you KNOW how painful that is? But, yeah. My sister thought that I was crazy. Anyways, this book is the reason I ended up reading the Surrender To Destiny series. And before you ask, I didn't put two in two about Alex together. I mean, I am an idiot. It bluntly states his name on the back of this book and yet I didn't make the connection with the first book.  I screamed when I made the connection. Well, more of a fangirl shriek/squeal/happy mix of both in a scream.

Rose McGuire is a young girl, well a tomboy, who lives with her Aunt and Uncle on their small farm in  Baltimore. She is a headstrong girl with a grudge against the British, for all the right reasons. But when a Lieutenant comes on her farm to take advantage of her, she thinks that all hope is lost. But when Lieutenant Alexander Reed comes to her aid, Rose is stunned. What Alex didn't expect, was to kill his superior. What he also didn't expect, was to be fatally shot in the thigh. Rose finds it to be her duty to hide and heal Alex in return for saving her life. But it proves to be a difficult task to hide him from her family, friends, city folks and the man who is determined to make her his wife.

CHARACTERS:
Rose McGuire: protagonist
Alexander Reed: protagonist
Forbes Drummond: Rose's Uncle and a reverend
Muira Drummond: Rose's Aunt
Amelia: Rose's maid
Mr. Snyder: Man set on marrying Rose

That pretty much covers that characters. Noah, Marianne, Daniel, Blackthorn and Luke also make appearances in the book. Can I just say, I love it when the protagonists hate each other. I mean, it that terrible to say? I just love it. But this pair, well, Rose is so angry at the British for taking everything dear from her that she can't help but hate Alex. Alex, on the other hand, finds himself falling for a woman who can never be his. After all, she hates him and he must return to his ship, or be labeled as a deserter and be hung. Rose covers his identity by "hiring" him and hopes that he will return to his ship as soon as possible and all that had happened would be a distant memory. Well, she hadn't counted on falling in love with him.

This book. This Book. THIS BOOK. I loved this book. I don't think that I have ever loved the male protagonist as much as I love Alex. Why? I have NO CLUE. I mean, all male protagonists are great and all, but Alex. Why do I love Alex so much? I'll never understand. With all his "annoying" amused grins and mock bows AND a British accent. But I did. This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I had to finish it. The hidden romance between them, I mean, it can't get any better than that. And how heroic of Alex to do all that he does! I love him so much. He's kind, he's a gentleman, despite being British he still doesn't care for the way that his people are treating the Americans at all. Even with a war going on, Alex doesn't think that what his people are doing is right.

Rating: 9.8 stars out of 10.

Surrender The Heart By MaryLu Tyndall

Hullo everyone! So, lately, I've been ignoring my summer reading list to read more of MaryLu (M.L.) Tyndall's books. I recently stumbled across her blog Cross and Cutlass and found out about her book Surrender The Night. Now, unfortunately again, this was the second book in a series of three, therefore I had to read the first book first. Which I am so glad that I did. Or else book two wouldn't have made too much sense at all.

Marianne Denton is a woman with a mission. She must marry a man to unlock her inheritance. Problem? How about the fact that her fiancé, Noah Brenin, is the same man who, as a little boy taunted her. And even worse, he has no interest in her. He doesn't even like her to be honest. But when he abandons her at their own engagement party, Marianne has had enough. She follows him aboard his merchantman and accidentally stows away. But that's not the worst part. They end up getting impressed on a British Navy ship. Yay! NOT.

So Marianne is a good character. I still have to say that I like Hope from The Blue Enchantress better. Marianne has had her past and as usual, has turned her back on God. Noah, is a man who bears the shame of a tragic accident from long ago. He always is trying to please his father but to no avail. I liked Noah a lot. I really did.

CHARACTERS:
Marianne Denton- protagonist
Noah Brenin- protagonist
Luke Heaton- Noah's first mate
Lieutenant James Garrick- protagonist (UGH)
Lieutenant Alexander Reed- Side character/good guy/bad guy (SQUEAL)
Captain Milford- British Captain/protagonist?/mad
Blackthorn- protagonist/also impressed
Daniel- protagonist (plays a big role in the book with his prophecies)

So this is pretty much the character list. I have to say, though I loved Marianne and Noah to pieces, I loved Blackthorn and Daniel better. Annnnndddddd I absolutely loved Alex (Lieutenant Reed). He was one of those characters, in which I'll describe like I describe my love of William from Donwton Abbey. He was just that character, that when I "met" him, I loved him despite him being the "enemy" (William's not an enemy, but hopefully you get the point). Seriously, I loved him. I stayed up until half an hour after midnight to finish it. SPOILER: He proved to be a good man after all. Can't share all the secrets, though. You'll have to read it and find out.

Rating: 8.5 stars out of 10
