but maybe this book should have been longer. h/h spent 7 days together yet not much really did happen between them. I did however like that she has always found him interesting (and he her) before they finally came together due to the card game. Though I enjoyed the story very much until the ending. (Spoilers) Did Coral really have to runaway at the end? After he found her he made good points as to why she never should have left - mainly that she always wore a mask so she wasnt really going to be recognized so she shouldnt have felt they could have no future together for fear that her reputation as a prostitute would hurt him. Also i felt that after Pearl married, even though Coral would not have want to impose, that Pearl would have no longer let her live that life (though I read Pearl story, i have read so many books in between that i no longer remember it though i can say that i did enjoy Coral story better than Pearl's). After all, Coral can really live with Pearl now (especially since Coral didnt like her job) but i overlooked this for how else was she to meet the Captain but the ending could have been better. I saw no need for Coral to runaway but then again, she wouldnt be called the ice princess for nothing though i felt the Captain was able to break through her defenses fairly quickly in the short time they were together. Overall it was an enjoyable and fast read.
