I am so delighted to have discovered this author for my library. What a little treasure this story is! This is a simple story, but was sort of the crème brulee for my historical romance appetite.Rasley has a very talented prosaic style, interspersed with poetic touches, the nuance of meaningful heated glances, and a bit of naval excitement to boot. Two people find each other - one a widow, grieving for her husband but moving forward; the other a handsome naval captain, vying for another woman, one who society deems an excellent choice for a wife. Nothing outstanding about the plot, but how they come together is sweet and honest.It is a novella- reader beware that this is a short one. Personally I don't go for novellas, and my only critique is that this would have made a lovely novel. I truly did not want to give these characters up so soon. So I will have to settle for some more of Rasley's delightful writing.
