Awesome Product

The entire series is one of the best Christian series that I have had the pleasure of reading! I catch something new everytime I read it!

You would want to read this masterpiece!

This 3rd book in the TRADE WINDS series is sure to knock you off your feet! Devora Ashby is eagerly awaiting her upcoming wedding to the handsome Spanish/English buccaneer Bruce (Nicklas) Valentin. But treachery awaits them both as betrayal becomes a factor in this story. Bruce faces confrontation and the test of his faith as he tries to fulfill his plans for Devora, his crewmen and the treasure. Devora faces her mother's declining health and unwanted advances of Bruce's father, Maximus. Will Devora forgive her mother for abandoning her when she was a child? Will they ever escape to Barbados and can Bruce elude the inquistors? Will Bruce and Maximus ever make peace between them? A great story about love, forgiveness, pirate battles, swordfights and passion. Linda Chaikin did an excellent job on this series and I can't wait to see what's coming up next on her agenda!

Superb!

As time draws near, the noose tightens, etc, etc, etc, anyways Bruce aka Nicklas realizes his brother is clearly onto him and his fatherly will also soon find out his secret, so he decides to try and sneak out while Devora goes ahead of him on another ship, but before he can quite get out of harbor the cannons are drawn on him and his ship sinks, and of cource his father finds him out.After being forced into hard labor, Bruce still patronizes his father and still seeks his revenge, though in a more silent way.But with revenge comes a new understanding that revenge is bittersweet and doesn't always have the desired affect.Linda ends her Trade Winds trilogy with dynamic gusto and flair. As good as all the other 2 books were, what with the first meeting, and then the recognization, I felt that the conclusion of the trilogy was the best!

Devora and Bruce are finally together.

The romance, faith, bravery and nobility that only knowing Christ can give is shown wonderfully in this book. You won't be able to put it down and it will challange you to live to your true potential reguardless of the cost. Great book and series!!!!
