Now having read all of Daisy's books (I still need to review 1 more!)  I can say I will always be 1-clicking whatever she puts out.  They just seem to get better and better with each new adventure.  I thought John Day had my heart but then again I had yet to meet Gerhard. . .or Kai.This story is a slow seduction of love that had me giggling, laughing, swooning and even wiping a few tears from my eyes (DAMN YOU DAISY! I LOATH my tears. . . but I forgive because it was just too sweet).  We get to see a heroine in her early 40s (though she look/lives/acts perhaps in her thirties) find love in life when she thought it never would happen.  The maturity is a refreshing change of pace and lends itself to being universally loved by both younger and older generations.This story is an adventure and an education as we follow Selah through her travels in Amsterdam and then Ghana.  The vibrancy of the details for each places lends to a feeling of actually being there and getting to experience everything with her. One part had my heart racing in the same anxiety/fear/terror Selah felt and that is one of the marks I think of a great story teller, actually being able to put us in a characters shoes.  But most of all, I got to experience falling in love with Selah and melt my heart if it wasn't beautiful!This was a slow seduction of the heart the snuck up and then impaled not just Selah but me too.  I loved the natural flow of things, it wasn't rushed, it was just two people coming to find that their lives are infinitely better with the other. This isn't to say the story was slow, it was captivating, well paced and exhilarating at times.  I swooned hard when I found out he had switched plans around to be able to experience things with Selah and explore more of her with how she piqued his interest.  Along with the swoon there was the heat. . . and OH MY PIRATES was there some good heat.  I see some eyeliner and scarves in my husbands near future ;)This is an amazing read that keeps you glued to the pages with sore cheeks from smiling so much.  If you haven't read any of the other books by Daisy Prescott, that isn't a problem because you can pick this book up and fall in love and then go back to read the others, they are all stand alones within the same world.I highly recommend this book!
