review 1: I usually find it quite a daunting task to write a review on books that leave me feeling more than satisfied. The author happens to be one of my favourites and this novel certainly did not disappoint. Smugglers, ships & adventures... What's not to love? The romance was palpable and sweet-the kind one wishes for in their dreams. The scenes between Isabelle and Will left me smiling and laughing, from their initial dislike of each other to playful banters. I find it so much more refreshing than the usual saccharine romance fictions that leave you wanting to scratch your eyeballs out and cry,"Dear LORD." Although I have to admit that I have a soft spot for swashbuckling adventures, hence the swooning.
review 2: A fun, cosy YA historical romance! I really enjoyed th... moreis story, even though it's aimed at younger readers than myself. Marie Louise Jensen writes beautifully and totally brings to life England in the early 18th century. I really liked the relationship between the two main characters, Isabelle and Will. Isabelle starts out as a very dislikeable, spoilt and self centred character but as the story and plot progresses she matures and finally becomes aware of the fact that she's not the only person on the planet and that other people and the way they feel are important too! With the help of handsome gentleman-like smuggler Will (who's rather charming but very mysterious) Isabelle becomes the heroine of the tale, and after a serious love/hate situation to begin with, Will and Isabelle finally get together. This is a light, easy, gorgeously written tale that gives the characters (and the readers!) the happy-ever-after ending everyone wants! less
