There were a number of things I liked about this romance, including the setting (Barbados, 1669), and the way the hero slowly helps the heroine overcome her past. There are some well-written subcharacters, too, which help propel the story along. Drake (the hero) is something of a jerk toward Edwinna during the last third of the story, which I have to admit was tough to read, BUT, on the other hand, Edwinna didn't fall apart, and removes herself from a painful situation quickly, showing how much she's grown & changed. And at least Drake realizes he's made a mistake. It's a good read, much less run-of-the-mill than many romances.
The mannish broad brimmed hat hid the worry in Edwinna's lovely eyes. Looking at the aqua waves lapping the white sands the sugarcane like green swords against a cloudless sky, she surveyed the Barbados plantation that she would inherit. if she could find a man to marry within twenty four hours...
A romantic fiction.. Is Drake a pirate or is he not? Set in Barbados,the heroine, Edwinna is to inherit a plantation...if she could find a man to marry within 24 hours.
Does she trust Drake? Which man does she marry?
