Candles In The Night

DeColores Island #1

by Kathleen Eagle

Mikal Romanov was a dreamer, an idealist, a man who'd dedicated himself to making the world a better place. But idealism was no recommendation to sensible Morgan Kramer. Her father had been a dreamer, too, and his dreams hadn't left him time for anyone else.

So why was she trading common sense for romantic nonsense? Why was she willing to follow Mikal halfway around the world, risking everything to help him in his quest? And why was she falling in love with an intensity that burned like a thousand candles on the darkest winter night?

Reviews

[Adrianna · Rating 3 out of 5]

The pacing is well earned in this one and the hero/heroine relationships develops beautifully and normally. The second half takes place in Del Cores, where the heroine's father and boyfriend are stuck during negotiations. The book is interesting in depicting how obessessed do-gooders can alienate and hurt their loved ones by ignoring them. Beautifully written, and well-paced. Only marred by a tasteless joke in the first couple of pages by the hero.
