A girl with something to prove. A ship with endless challenges. Will a life on the water set her free?

Mary Crofter has spent her life around ships. She’s in love with the sea in an era that keeps girls far away from the deck. Breaking social norms, she joins the crew of a small ship and sets sail for a new life.

Eager to prove her mettle to the all-male crew, Mary demands she be treated no differently. She works hard in a world that finds an English civil war brewing and spies around every turn. When she meets a man who offers her a much safer life on dry land, she must choose between the promise of love and the call of the sea.

I, Mary is the third installment of the Eternity Series, a saga of seafaring adventures for both teens and adults. If you like strong female characters, immersive historical fiction, and sweet romance, then you’ll love Mike Hartner’s adventurous tale of the sea.

Buy I, Mary today to set sail for an adventure of a lifetime!

This story is set in the 1600's during the English Crown. Historical romance has never been my forte' until this series. I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in the series.

Mary Crofter is the daugther of James Crofter. We have heard of James in I, James and his adventures on the high seas. Mary's grandfather is Walter from I, Walter. I, Mary is the third installment of The Eternity Series.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to Mary. She is anxious and ready to embark upon her own journey and sail upon the sea as well.

At the young age of 12 she sets sail and stops at nothing less than learning as everyone else, pulling her own weight and becoming a very strong and fearless female sailor. Being a part of the crew and sailing on the ship her family owns, Mary never wanted to be treated any different from any of the other male sailors.

Upon her sails she meets the love of her life Andrew. The love story between these two is one for the history books. They are devoted to their children and helping others along the way. Will Mary one day have to make the decision to leave her love of sailing? You must read to find out!!

My tears fell at the end of this historical romance. It left me with a peace that is is unexplainable.

It never ceases to amaze me at how swept away I am when I read another one of Mike Hartner's books. Mike's detail and history in this book are impressive to say the least.

I am hoping Mr. Hartner has more adventures up his sleeve, I feel that I will never get enough of this family and their stories to tell.

Mary Crofter has been on a sailing ship since she was two years old . As part of the Crofter shipping line she know all there is to know about the sea and the ships that sail her. She showed her merit by working along side the men crews and earned their respect and admiration. Until the day that Andrew walked into her life Andrew the young idealistic man that will help shape the English war that was brewing . Now will she give up her love of the sea for the love of her life .
This is the third book in the series and is all about Mary and Andrew and their love story. I loved that the main character was Mary and actually not Andrew . The author made Mary into a strong courageous woman . She worked hard and earned everything she got . It proves that a woman can be just as strong and love something that is mostly a male dominated profession . She wasn't sit at home letting herself be waited on hand and foot . When she was on land she took every opportunity to study and learn everything she could . I truly liked her as a character . I think she would be a great role model for and girl that reads this book . Andrew is every girls dream he is strong and sweet and has a strong sense of morality . He wants to help his clans as the war brews . You actually cheer for him when he is off defending his land against the British . They are a really sweet couple that will sweep you off your feet with their pure undying love that lasts until and beyond the grave . l
I truly enjoy these books . We meet the main characters between the ages of 11 - 12 and we watch them grow up through out the book . The author takes us on grand adventures on the sea and in some exotic ports . He also mixes great historical facts into the story that will keep you entertained . I love how the author ties the stories together . by mentioning the ending of the last book in the new book. I will say that this book had me crying the last 5 chapters . So when you read this one have tissues ready cause you will need them . So if you want a series that you and your kids can read this is the series for you , Check them out for your fall reading list

Author Mike Hartner did it again! From the beginning, I was swept away by another of his beloved characters. This time, Mary Crofter.

Hartner infuses his high-seas adventures with coming-of-age tales of honor and chivalry. In the third installment of The Eternity Series, Mary not only discovers and defends the noble parts of herself, her actions esteem the worth and value of others. She has a sharp mind, not afraid to work hard, and yearns for the sea, determined to forge a destiny contrary to how 17th century culture confined the roles of women. This is what I loved about her. What a fantastic role model for young women.

I, Mary keeps with tradition and is told in the same memoir-like style of I, Walter and I, James. In Mary's recount, the reader is taken on a journey from life on the high-seas during the 1600's to the English civil war between the Royalist and Parliamentarians and even explored part of the English invasion of Scotland. As a history lover, I enjoyed seeing these events come alive.

Like the other books in the series, the romance is sweet and clean and the title character is first introduced to the reader around age 10-11--Perfect for middle grade on up. Recommended to lovers of historical fiction, especially to those who enjoy stories with coming-of-age themes and/or about sailing life during the 16th-17th centuries.

Great job, Mike! I look forward to the next installment :D
