Tyndall deftly balances perilous high-seas adventure with a satisfying romance. Her feisty, devil-may-care heroine fights for what she wants and is a character readers will root for. A great start to what looks to be a fun series.
MaryLu Tyndall returns to the Caribbean with a story that may be her best yet. Cutlasses clash and hearts collide in this captivating tale of adventure, love and redemption....MaryLu''s dialogue sparkles as the romantic tension between Dajon and Faith escalates in a captivating yet never unseemly manner....If you love a spirited tale with vibrant characters, vivid scenery and a solid message of God''s love, The Red Siren is the perfect escape! There is no doubt this will be a story I will read again and again.
Definitely a book that will not disappoint-highly recommended!
This is a bold and unusual plot for an inspirational romance. Although the story is over-written (for example, emotions will jump to various extremes several times on the same page) and the plot details are unbelievable (just how, exactly, does Fiath get her treasure trove off the ship and past all the ruffians on the way to her hiding spot in the forest?) these details will not bother those readers who enjoy a good yarn with a spirited heroine and charming hero.

This is Tyndall at her best. I love the adventure and courage the women of her books usually display. I accidentally discovered this series and am so glad I bought it. I liked the way each book ties in to the one that follows.

When you read the description of this book, it evokes the notion of "a lady pirate, how can that be a story line with a ring of truth?" But this story is not far fetched. Faith Westcott is struggling against God and man. Her father has no love to lavish and spends his time at sea, leaving his three daughters to their own devices, until a godly captain is asked to step in and be their guardian while their father is away for an extended time. The battles that ensue do not always include pistols and swords, but the struggles against the love of God. The devilishly handsome Captain Dajon Waite tries to help Faith see her spiritual faults all the while falling in love with the pirate he is trying to catch. This book was riveting- a story like all the rest of Tyndall's books. Truly excellent- a story that will keep you up late and anxious to return, a wonderful escape. It's filled with intrigue and adventure, but this author knows the delicate balance between too much adventure and the human emotions. The scale is balanced and a grand "huzza" is raised when you close the book. But you will certainly want to hurry and purchase The Blue Enchantress (book 2) it follows quickly on the heels of The Red Siren.

I was practically on the edge of my seat on some parts of the story, and in one spot in particular, I actually had to stop reading to gain a breather. It was totally exhilerating, shocking, and I'd most definitely read it again.

Tyndall is one of my favorite authors! This book, like The Falcon and the Sparrow and the King's Pirates Series, draws you in right away and holds you there until the very last page! Then you are left anticipating and waiting for the next in the series! Great read!

Marylu Tyndall's novel is a fun and exciting read. It's not the same-ole-same-ole Christian romance novel. A fiery red-headed heroine. A courageous hero. Pirates. The search for blunder. Sea battles. It has all the elements of a classic pirate tale, except the pirate our hero is pursuing is a woman! The Red Siren! Highly recommended.

The Red Siren is a wonderfully written tale of a woman pirate, a Navy captain, and their struggles with God and each other. Filled with suspense, romance, laughter, devious plots, fun-filled afternoons, and chases across the sea, it is everything I could want in a book. Once I started reading it I could not put it down. I highly encourage you to read The Red Siren, and all of MaryLu's books.
