About this listen

 ‘Pitch perfect’ TRACY REES

‘A stunning debut’ LIZ FENWICK

The Cornish cost. A handsome smuggler. A love story for the ages.

Isabel has always been a woman of mystery. As a child of four, she appeared on the Cornish shore, soaking wet, unable to speak. The villagers believed she was brought from the sea, the daughter of a spirit.

Now, newly widowed, Isabel feels the ocean calling her to come back home.

And when Jack Carlyon, an injured smuggler, crosses her path, she is swept up into a love story that will test her courage, her reputation, and her heart. Jack plays a dangerous game, and there are those that would hang him if they knew what he was. Isabel fights to make sense of the magical pull of the ocean and wants to protect Jack – but at what cost?

She is a daughter of the sea. He is a man of the land. Can they overcome the odds to be together? Action & Adventure Genre Fiction Historical Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Heartfelt

I really like Isobel and Jack as characters. The prose was lyrical, but a little over done and could have benefitted from tightening. The entire book stayed consistent to voice and story the ending didn't rush and I felt satisfied when it finished, like getting out of the bath and putting clean PJs on. Overall I liked it a lot and will read again as a paperback.
Really enjoyable listen, best I've listened to in sometime.
