This sounds VERY exciting and fascinating! I don't like that the main character is involved in something illegal, but she has very compelling motives for doing so. And she does sound like a great person! Plus, this novel has two ingredients I LOVE -- romance, and the sea! In short, I need to read this one!!<br /><br />Thanks for your EXCELLENT review, Wendy!! :)Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-40767184240394833182016-08-24T07:17:57.629-07:002016-08-24T07:17:57.629-07:00Sounds like an interesting book!
