Will Kincaid be able to forgive Darcy for the secret that she kept from him or will he let the past dictate his future?
My Review:
I received this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. This is the first book that I have read of Shirley's and the first book in Fortune Island series. I think Shirley does a great job of developing the characters so you truly feel like you know who they are and why they have turned out a certain way. In addition, she does a great job of setting the scene of the book in the small town feel of Fortune Island. She did such a great job that I wish this was a real town so that I could live there!
In regards to the storyline I think Shirley did a good job of progressing the story. Each event that occurred in the story made sense and the story progressed at a steady rate not getting derailed by non important story lines.
If there was anything that I found could have been changed or improved would have been the introduction of Jill's character. I felt like she spent too much time on the story than she should have being that this book was supposed to be about Kincaid and Darcy. I understood eventually why she was doing it as she was going to be writing her story next. However, I think it just didn't fit well in this particular story. Jill's story could have been introduced more generally and not dug into as much.
All in all I think this was a great book and a good start to the series. I am very interested in reading more of this series and author.
