There is a great character development on the heroine's part and some for the Hero. It can be many things but boring is not one of them. This is a book of over 500 pages and a lot had happened in the story. As Caroline was no longer able to have children she accepted the baby as her own to raise and the mistress went back to her husband. The mistress was pregnant with Hunter's baby. She was once again the woman he fell in love with. They ended up having an adventure and in the midst of it got back together.Ĭaroline had found her old self again and Hunter couldn't stay away from her. Hunter dumped the mistress and furious went after Caroline on his ship. They ended up in bed but when Caroline found out he had the mistress in tow she'd left for Madagascar where she knew her grandfather buried a treasure. He did not know if his wife was dead or alive. When Hunter got word of the fact he returned back. The plantation got destroyed after a fierce hurricane. He needed the money for his new sea business.Ĭaroline was left angry, devastated and destitute. The final insult came with the knowledge that he'd taken all their money and left her penniless. Later on Caroline found out that he had taken his mistress along. His desertion jolted her out of her slumper. No begging or pleating from Caroline would change his mind. He was to sail off on his ship taking his son with him. He called her fat and said he was leaving her. One day Hunter told Caroline that he couldn't bare her misery guts any more. He'd started an affair with a married woman who had left her husband. Hunter was a captain, he loved the sea and was not crazy about working the land of his wife's plantation. She'd gained a few extra kilos the last couple of years but that did not stop him from desiring her.
He could not deal with his wife's depression. Hunter did not recognise her as the woman he'd married any more.
She'd been down in the dumps, neglected the husband and herself. She was left unable to bare more children.Ĭaroline suffered what we call today postnatal depression. They had a son but lost an infant daughter two years earlier. Caroline and her husband Hunter had been married for ten years.
