About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An island in the Caribbean. A centuries-old secret. A life adventure awaits. . . Discover the latest tale of friendship, courage and romance from the Sunday Times bestselling romance writer.

Dominica. A beautiful remote island where the sun shines and the living is easy.

And where Cass goes to photograph a rare stone carving as a favour to her father.

With her is Ranulph, a deeply attractive, much-travelled journalist, who offers to help Cass with her quest.

But Dominica has just been hit be a severe hurricane, and Cass and Ranulph are spending all of their time helping the local community.

Cass knows she must not fall in love with him… He is just looking out for her. He’s being kind.

There is no way he could be even the slightest bit interested in her. Could he?

first time I've listened to a Katie Fforde, but it was excellent, highly recommend

captivating

I enjoyed the story in general, learned about Dominica and always love a happy ending. I found Cass to be far too reticent about expressing indignation with the American, (whose name I've forgotten) and also much too stupid to be believable on numerous occasions. I have read many of Katie Fforde's other books and not noticed this before. Perhaps because it was read out loud, I couldn't skip the annoying bits? Or the story had to be longer and was padded out a bit too much. I hate being negative so apologise for the criticism.

Kept my attention to the end

I am finding the reader in this case is very difficult to hear and words all run in together. So far have not got further than 1/2 way.

Struggling to hear.

learning about petroglyphs and life on an island with hurricanes was interesting and always brought to life by the characters

loved the characters

Maybe this story would have been more believable had it been set in an earlier era, but I found the characters behaved in a very implausible way throughout. The heroine was also somewhat annoying rather than endearing in the naive way she was portrayed. As a follower of this author I was disappointed.

Not the usual standard

Very listenable! Really enjoyed, something a little different but also very compelling and wonderful to travel to Caribbean 😊☀️
Loved characters and storyline well compiled
Looking forward to Katie’a next work

So enjoyed

Although the story is thin I enjoyed this as easy listening at bedtime. I liked the heroine well enough tho I found the readers slow pace for adult characters a bit annoying.

This is a thin story

The narrator seamlessly and successfully carries you by aeroplane and boat to Dominica, an island troubled by storms during the hurricane season. It felt subtly educational in this and many other ways. I knew nothing about life on a Caribbean island before. As we travel round the island with Cassie and sometimes Ranulph too, we see and learn all sorts about life on the island and soak up the surroundings, from the mundane to the sublime, although I don't want to spoil it for you!
