This one is pretty good, if a little melodramatic. Same problems with some dated attitudes and such apply as with Jake, but a little less in this one.
I like Ward and Marina as characters, though their relationship is a little odd. If Jake suffered from heavyhanded insta-lust, Ward and Marina go a step further to VERY heavyhanded insta-love. Like total undying give-up-everything love after one brief encounter and conversation. I can buy infatuation or lust that fast, but real love that's still lingering 7 years later? They scarcely knew each other!
The other flaw, perhaps, is that the villain is SO over the top unrelentingly hateful and bad. She does have reasons that are believable, but she is a little one-dimensional. Her son, who was the co-conspirator and beneficiary of her schemes is also pretty shallow but at least gets a tiny bit of depth toward the end.
Jake and Isabelle and their family from the previous book make up the supporting characters, plus the residents of the nearby town. Greenwood is pretty good at well-realized background cast, with enough personality and development to feel realistic.
Ward and Marina's reunion, gradual hashing out of their past and what tore them apart and what really happened vs what they thought/were led to believe happened is well done and believable and mostly satisfying enough to make up for the somewhat silly insta-love start to their relationship. Marina's son is cute and engaging without being too much of a generic plot moppet.
Overall, good, mostly satisfying and enjoyable but not dazzling or anything.… (mais)
