The Bride's Rescuer

Rating:
Summary: contrived story from good writer
Review: The power of this writer to keep you reading is strong, despite contrived plot of from start to finish. With such ability, she shows great promise; she just needs to steer clear of falling for the easy way out in plotting.

Celia Stevens is getting married. Her bridesmaid keeps begging her to reconsider, that she does not trust the groom. Celia ignores good advice. In her Vera Wang gown, she is determined to marry a man she barely knows. It's only the sudden appearance of a stranger that stops the wedding, with news the man she is ready to pledge herself to is likely a killer.
Fleeing the church in her gown, she jumps on her sail boat and dashes off in the middle of a storm.

She capsizes and is washed up on Cameron Alexander's island in the Florida Keys. When she comes to, she finds Alexander's behaviour strange. An exile to his tiny island, he refuses to return her Key West, but says she must wait three months for a supply ship. She escapes by stealing his boat - and surprise - another storm comes up and wrecks her. Cameron comes after her, takes her back to the island. Finally, he agrees to take her to Key West, but then she suddenly decides she wants to stay. Celia goes from storm to hurricane to storm to squall. Each time high tension is needed we face another force of nature.

Celia has just gone through one situation with falling in love with a man she does not know, so what does not do, but fall immediately in love with another she does not know either. The writer has great talent with words, so that ability carries to reader to continue turning pages, she just needs to stop opting for the easy way out in plotting.
