Every so often I read a romance that just resonates so much with me. And right now, I can’t stop thinking about this one.

There was so much to love about this book that I think–no–I know I’m going to miss something. First and foremost, however, I’d be remiss if I didn’t laud the writing of this story.

Ms. Hawks pulled me into this story so quickly and kept me enthralled. These two characters; Georgana and Dominic were such good people. Lovely, passionate, and such a joy to read about.

The romance in this was slow-building (as Dominic thought Georgana was actually “George” for quite some time), but once we got there–it was well worth the wait.

And, the ocean–well, quite simply, I love it. So, having a story take place on the seas, during a time when sailing encompassed bug-ridden meals and hardly clean water–there was so much detail and excitement in this.

These characters, and their struggles, were so captivating and realistic. I wish I could read more about them, honestly. And I can’t wait to read more from Ms. Hawks.
