I loved Gabe, I love Honoria and I thought their story was great. However, I didn't like the changes which the author had made to the characters of family members who had appeared in previous novels and it jarred a little that I was expected to believe Marcus would have just shoved his sister off into exile rather than considered that what happened to her might have been part of the campaign which was being waged against his family as a result of the scandal some 20 years ago.
The Cornish landscape and smuggling tradition is well described here and the secondary characters are fleshed out even though they don't have much to do.
There was little furthering on of the series long plot though which was a bit disappointing. Overall this was a good read and Gabe and Honoria made a good couple but there was nothing outstanding to bump it up the ratings. ( )
