Summary: ADVENTURE, ROMANCE, AND A HOT READ!
Comment: This is a delightful story set in an unusual locale, Whidbey Island, WA. I read a lot of romances, and I'm happy to say, Leah and Jackson aren't your typical, cliched characters. I'm in awe at this wonderful book and intend to read it again. Ms. Wiggs can count me among her many fans.

Summary: An ok read to kill some time
Comment: I am quite surprised to see all the glowing reviews here for this book. Don't get me worng, I enjoyed reading about Leah and Jackson, but I did not think this was 5 star material. The plot was interesting, with a few levels not usually found in romance novels. I liked Ms. Wigg's use of Cassie as a character and her role in the plot. I do not have much of a psychological back ground, but I would have liked to have seen a more in depth view of what made her tick. Ms. Wiggs gave me enough to keep me interested, but I would have liked to become absorbed.
Leah and Jackson obviously have a lot of baggage to sort thru, and eventually they did, but something just seemed to be missing. I wish I could put my finger directly on the problem, but I'm afraid I can't. They skirted each other, letting down their gaurds a little at a time, but it just seemed a little...brief. Again, I would have liked to have seen more. As with many romance novels today, I felt the end extremely rushed. The sherif's story, the Indians, our new female doctor and the marshall all seemed to rush together to end at once, with out a saticfactory explination. Oh, the explination was there, it just rushed by.
On the whole, this is not a bad book. If you want a time filler on the beach or on the ride to work, pick it up. If you're looking for in depth descriptions and an intricate plot, look elsewhere.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent read.
Comment: I am new to this author's work but this book was a real find. It dealt with so many difficult sociol issues as well as human frailty issues. The editor outlined the bk well so I won't do that. The story uses the angst of abandoned children (Jackson
and Carrie), the verbally abused and neglected child (Leah) and one gets to wondering which is worse. We have the effect of non-parenting on children, the orphanage abuses that were rampant in that era (and probably more than we know in more recent times) and the desparate need to make onself feel needed and worthwhile which drives our hero and heroine.Then we run into the bias against women doctors, the realization of how far we've come in treating illnesses and trying to fit into a culture that keeps women in the kitchen. Less this all sound despressing, it isn't. It's wonderful to see the characters cope with what life has dealt them and evolve into happy adults with a wonderful life companion. It has witty dialogue and is easy to relate to the feelings. And of course our hero Jackson who is the "bad guy" who always seems to be saving someone. It's a wonderful love story but when it's done the reader feels richer for the experience.
