I wish I had read this book before I read Angel's Landing. I love the story of Deborah and Asa. I think this book describes more in detail what is going on on Cavanaugh Island. Just like all of Alers' books, this is another happy ever after book. Unlike other readers, I did not have a problem with Deborah being attracted to another man so soon after the death of her husband. There are clues that although she loved her husband, the relationship was lacking: when she said she had not danced with anyone in years (not even her husband)and her husband was the first man that she had been with. It seemed as if she and her husband had a robotic relationship. Asa, it seems, gave her passion! I think that deep down long before here husband drowned she desired that passion too! This is why I love Rochele Alers' books Although each of the main characters have faced their own share of adversity, this is a light romantic read. The pace of the romance is believable and well expressed.The quality of the writing and plot line is closer to 4 1/2 stars, rather than a 4. The writing is not complicated. It doesn't have to be. The story speaks for itself.I've already purchased the second part of the trilogy and look forward to reading it.
