My Review

This book had me in the beginning, what could have happened to have caused the situation that she was in at that moment?
This story has a sweet love story, a honeymoon that they look forward to that would rival most others, and they are traveling first class, and then we walk in their shoes as they go!
Now I will warn you will probably be up late page turning on this one, and when you think you know the answers, well, I know I didn’t and then the wow and surprises happen, along with a bit of sadness, and you will ask “who can I trust”?
If you enjoy a book that has your heart in your throat, well this one might be the answer, and in the end, well I could see where it could go on to be another book!
