A wee bit melodramatic, but a good solid read. ( )

Wow. What a terrific story! Lucy Rushton is the romantic, idealistic daughter of a vicar who has admired the charming golden boy, Jeremy Strickland, from afar for years. Suddenly her wildest fantasies come true as Jeremy turns his easy-going charm on her and asks her to marry him. Before he leaves for the Peninsula, he persuades her to give herself to him. Six weeks later she finds herself at his graveside, a pregnant, unwed outsider.

Drake Strickland, Jeremy’s elder half-brother, is stiff, severe, taciturn, responsible, honorable and, though he never makes a show of it, deeply caring about others—especially the weak and powerless. Drake learns of Lucy’s predicament and quietly marries her.

In this novel, we follow Lucy and Drake as they grow into unity. Both of the protagonists have a lot of emotional baggage that they must sort through, and truths they must come to own before they get to that point, and there are several nasty characters who are determined to thwart their happiness. Nevertheless as the months wear on they discover common values, complementary ways of seeing the world, and gradually develop an abiding respect and love for one another. This is a wonderful, well-told story, which builds and holds emotional and sexual tension right to the end! ( )
