Unfortunately what follows is an immediate denouement featuring fairly stock romance characters. The prologue is a powerful emotional scene. The story begins with a tumultuous shipwreck wherein Emmaline Martin is the only survivor. I found the prose to be good, but not extraordinary and for me, the prose was not enough to lift the characters and plot out of average status. I won’t belabor the plot as Janet carefully articulated it in her review. I may be the only one with this contrary opinion as well, but in the interest of fairness to the readership here at DA, I was compelled to give my thoughts of this book. It is because of that this review is doubly hard to write. You’ve been a frequent commenter and your insights into the genre have always been fascinating.
