5/18/2023 0 Comments The knight and the dove lori wickI liked the mixture of confidence and vulnerability, awkwardness and sharp skill in this heroine. I've seen it happen before.So I was pleased to find that this entire book is indeed about Smokey as a captain and the related adventure and adversity that comes with being who she is. I was intrigued by the thought of a woman captaining a ship in the nineteenth century, but I wondered if the author would abandon that uncommon feature of the plot early and let the rest of the book settle into a storyline more identical to her other novels. Perhaps Dallas Knight, captain of another ship, might be a part of that future-but Smokey's run-in with a cunning pirate might destroy any hopes of her dream in Wings of the Morning, a novel by author Lori Wick.Even though I decided not to finish the first book in the Kensington Chronicles series, I'm glad I still went on to read this second one. As much as her role at sea suits her, Smokey dreams of pursing a future on land. Victoria "Smokey" Simmons, the lone daughter of a legendary skipper, becomes the captain of her late father's ship.
