If ever any
two people epitomized the phrase “women are from Venus-men are from Mars” it is
Melinda and Evan. These two people are
in love and want to wed but do not have a clue as to what the other is
thinking.
Theirs is a
semi-long distance romance. Evan is the
groundskeeper for the resort island of Bridal Veil and makes his home there year-round. Melinda is a servant to a wealthy family from
Cleveland who winter on the island. Over
several years of spending her winters on Bridal Veil, Melinda comes to love
Evan and their desire is to eventually wed.
Eventually is not in Melinda’s
vocabulary. When disaster strikes the
island Melinda gives up everything to find Evan on Bridal Veil and soon
realizes her romantic fantasies are not going to play out the way she would
like them to.
The story is
enjoyable, and although slow moving through a good portion of the book, it is
interesting and kept my attention throughout.
Melinda and Evan needed a good shaking a time or two. They really do not have very good communication
with each other. Melinda tends to be a
bit selfish and does not understand Evan’s reasoning behind waiting to
marry. But many of us can probably
relate to a time when we did not communicate well with our boyfriend, fiancé,
or husband. In that respect the characters
come across as very real. A somewhat convoluted
plot twist at the end keeps things interesting.
