About this listen
Set adrift on the tides of fate by the deaths of her parents and left wanting answers, Laura Callaway now lives with her uncle and his disapproving wife in North Cornwall. There she feels like a castaway, always viewed as an outsider even as she yearns to belong.
While wreckers search for valuables along the windswept Cornwall coast - known for its many shipwrecks but few survivors - Laura searches for clues to the lives lost so she can write letters to next of kin and return keepsakes to rightful owners. When a man is washed ashore after a wreck, Laura acts quickly to protect him from a local smuggler determined to destroy him.
As Laura and a neighbor care for the survivor, they discover he has curious wounds and, although he speaks in careful, educated English, his accent seems odd. Other clues wash ashore, and Laura soon realizes he is not who he seems to be. Despite the evidence against him, the mysterious man might provide her only chance to discover the truth about her parents' fate. With danger pursuing them from every side, and an unexpected attraction growing between them, will Laura ever find the answers she seeks?

Narration could have been much better
Would have enjoyed this so much more with better narrator. Other than the main character, the narration for the other characters, especially the males, was not great. The male love interest sounded weak and drab; narrator did not do that character justice. Disappointed.

Well told though slightly predictable
Well researched novel that transports the listener to Cornwall. I appreciated the characters' unique names which helped me to distinguish them. Narration of anything French- names, places and words was so poor as to be almost unintelligible. The story itself was sweet though predictable, very much true to the author's pattern.

Excellent!
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book! I thought the reader’s accent & intonations added to the story. Highly recommend this book as a light hearted historical romantic drama!
