I love Johanna Lindsey. She always entertains.
When Jared comes to Boston to avenge his mother's death, he didn't plan on the firey, outspoken daughter of his target.
When Corrine went to Hawaii to get revenge on Jared, She didn't expect to fall in love with the island or the man.
Another awesome Lindsey novel.

Typical Lindsey historical. Overblown emotional yarn with great characters. Quick read.
This is not Joanna Lindsey at her best; like the little girl with the curl, when she's good she's very good and when she's bad she's horrid. Here she is merely predictable with rather boring main characters. There is no chemistry and little plot.
Not a keeper.

This is one of my favorite books. It's absolutely fabulous. I've read many books and this book just tops the cake. One of my favorite authors.
