"This book read very quickly for me. I liked the change of setting, Canada, but did not like all the secrets that Jancy hid from Simon. I understand that the secrets created suspense, but it just got a little old after a while. I love Simon; he seems like a good man. "
— Lisa (4 out of 5 stars)
" Not bad. I know Jancy was scared, but I wish she had found it easier to confide in Simon. As for Simon, I didn't really get whey he was "lightning struck" by her. "
— Mary, 3/20/2013" It's rather sad when the hero of a romance is so much more likable than the heroine; especially when you keep thinking to yourself every time she questions their relationship something along the lines of, "no, you don't deserve him. Just throw yourself overboard already." "
— Cameron, 12/31/2012" 2.5 stars, because it started to get a tiny bit better by the end. This was pretty bad. The writing style was decent, but that's just about the only thing this book had going for it. "
— Christine, 12/22/2012" This book read very quickly for me. I liked the change of setting, Canada, but did not like all the secrets that Jancy hid from Simon. I understand that the secrets created suspense, but it just got a little old after a while. I love Simon; he seems like a good man. "
— Lisa, 8/22/2012" This was a quick, easy read. You have to love Simon, the hero. Jancy gives him quite a time and it takes a bit to figure out who she really is and why she's done what she has... "
— Sherry, 4/24/2012" I loved the hero in this book. He was romantic, dashing and always stood up for his lady. The lady, however, got tiring. I do not like "woe is me, I'm not good enough for him" heroines. The book was an easy read. "
— Olivia, 1/22/2012" Hiding the past is never a good sign. Generally this means it will come to bite you in the ass when you least need it. I like reading forced weddings which end up happily ever after though. Of course, this only happens in fiction, never the real world. "
— ♆, 4/28/2011" The main characters were highly forgettable. And if I want to read about early 19th century sea voyages, I will reread Patrick O'Brian. "
— Joy, 1/14/2011" This was a quick, easy read. You have to love Simon, the hero. Jancy gives him quite a time and it takes a bit to figure out who she really is and why she's done what she has... "
— Sherry, 12/10/2009" It's rather sad when the hero of a romance is so much more likable than the heroine; especially when you keep thinking to yourself every time she questions their relationship something along the lines of, "no, you don't deserve him. Just throw yourself overboard already." "
