Hero: 6/10Heroine: 5/10Sizzle: 7/10Romance: 4/10Humor: 0/10Secondary Characters: 1/10End: 3/10Pace: 6/103.5 stars.I was pretty impressed with this book. It had action, adventure, romance, a touch of horror (I loved that!). The writing was pretty good too, although there was some serious typos and grammar problems. Not a lot, but the ones that were there were doozies. As the story progressed, I did find myself getting bored with some of the useless scenes in the middle. But the end picked back up.The characters were hit and miss for me. Overall they were okay, but certainly not faves. And that hero...lawd. He takes 'caveman' to new levels. The end was really cheesy for me. Lots of eye-rolling and "Ugh...really?!". But considering this is an older book, I guess it's par for the course. And yes, this book is really dated. I found it didn't affect the story too much though, so I'm okay with it. The greatest point for me is the fact that 98% of the story takes place on a deserted island. My enthrallment with all things tropical/islandy is in heaven in this book, and that fact is what fluffed the rating a little bit. Interesting tale for sure. I liked it. Happy reading!
