But as I got into the book more, the author drew me into the story.  The mystery became quite intriguing, and I found myself not wanting to put the book down.  I cared about the characters, and I wanted to know if everything worked out all right.  I found myself often on the edge of my seat.

I began to see the things that I know in love in this author’s works.  I found romance, history, and a strong faith in God.  God is real in this story, and you see His hand at every turn.  Bad things happen, but somehow it all works together for good.  It either brings people running back to God or else people turn their backs on Him.  Everyone has to make the decision about what they must do with God.

I did enjoy the portions that the author inserted concerning the history of this sleepy island. Being a lover of historical fiction, I am so glad to have found this in a contemporary romance.  I don’t know if I would have enjoyed it as much without this!

This is truly a well-crafted story.  Do not let the slow story keep you from pressing on.  In the end, all will make sense.  You will appreciate every detail the author gives you.  And it is, of course, a bonus that there is no profanity or sex scenes!  Justice is served, and all is explained in the end.  And I bet you won’t figure everything out!

If you have a day or two to set aside for a riveting read that will keep you guessing at every turn, this is definitely the book for you.  You won’t regret picking up this book!

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
