A castaway love story with bite!

This book is simply Beautiful. I Absolutely Loved it!

T.J is to die for, and Anna is a wonderful character. I am also in my early 30's and I could relate to everything Anna felt while reading her perspectives, every worry she had, every thought was totally believable which is what is magic about this story.

Incredibly written, a great feel good book with nail-biting adventure. READ THIS BOOK! ...more
