When Morgan Shaw crept into the hold of an old pirate ship replica at San Diego's annual Tall Ship Festival, her only intention was to avoid the guy who had just dumped her and who was now boarding the ship with two women on his arm. What she didn't expect was to wake up aboard a real pirate ship 300 years in the past. But of course, it wasn't real. Her wealthy father had obviously staged it all in an effort to get her mind off her upcoming chemo. Or had he?
Pirate Rowan Dutton seeks enough treasure to repay a debt to his sister and reinstate the Dutton name among British Jamaican society. He is but one major haul away from accomplishing his goal when a strange woman appears on his ship and causes him to lose his prey. Despite his anger, he is enthralled with the little minx, her strange clothing, odd speech, and her insistence that they are all actors playing a charade paid for by her father.
Yet when the brazen little lady 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.

The Reckoning by MaryLu Tyndall was the first book of hers I've "read" via audiobook. I've read Charity's Cross and enjoyed it tremendously. I didn't think a pirate story would capture me, but it did, and The Reckoning was no different. However, with The Reckoning, it took much too long for me to finish it, whereas with an actual book, I'm sure I could've devoured it within hours. With audiobooks, I tend to listen to it on the road or while ironing, so that doesn't always coincide well.

As to the narration, I felt the narrator did a fabulous job voicing different characters, which made The Reckoning come to life more than it already had. Would I choose the audiobook vs the print or digital copy? Not necessarily, but doesn't mean I wouldn't. In all, a story with action, romance, family and a great message. Definitely recommend.

Thank you for the review!
ReplyDeleteI've never really been interested in reading a pirate story. However, I might be more interested if it was an audiobook!
