Secret Harbor (2001) - Plot & Excerpts

I must admit that I have been prejudiced against this author, but my sin was I hadn’t read any of her books. But fortunately, one day I read one of her stories by pure chance and I enjoyed it and after this, from time to time, I read some book of Barbara Cartland and this time again, I have enjoyed the story. Okay it is not extraordinary, but full of adventure and very entertaining. It is also full of good humour, as we have a H, a pirate, but he is a pirate due to exceptional circumstances and towards h, he is always a gentleman (he is in fact an aristocrat), willing to help her, to take care of her good reputation. She can trust him completly, something she cannot do with her father, a man perpetually drunk and that wants to marry her off to a drinking companion, a very disreputable man and too old for the girl, owner of a plantation like her father and said to be very cruel to his slaves. The times the author describes are very convulsed, but the protagonists escape the hard circumstances totally unharmed, as in a children’s story. And to round all up, exotic settings in the Caribbean. Naturally, no sex to be expected here, but the romance part between H and h is very tender and fulfilling in a very simple way.

Le port du bonheur - Grania doit quitter l'Angleterre pour retourner vivre aux Antilles avec son père, le comte de Kilkerry. Mais celui-ci a laissé ses terres à l'abandon et s'est installé chez Roderick Maigrin, riche planteur à qui il a décidé de marier sa fille. Tandis que dans l'ile gronde la révolte des esclaves, Grania parvient à regagner le domaine familial. Pour échapper a ce mariage qui lui fait horreur, elle est prete a tout, meme à suivre le pirate français qu'elle découvre dans la plantation désertée. Mais ne court-elle pas de plus graves dangers en confiant sa sorte à un hors-la-loi auquel les Anglais livrent une guerre sans merci?
