ISLAND BREEZES
I actually liked Xavier Charles at the beginning of this book. Not so much by the end. I’m not even going to go there. You’ll find out.
The two characters I liked the most were Devlin and Grant. They both played a key part in the plot, and Grant was a real sweetie.
Since I’m still a sea person at heart (after living on ships for ten years and spending most of the time in the Caribbean), this book grabbed me and didn’t want to let me go.
For me, the only thing that detracted from the book was all the cursing. A lawyer or any professional person should have a better command of the English language. Other than that I look forward to reading more of Ms Webb’s books.
