Another amazing book from Raine English! This is by far my favorite book by her. I could not put this down, it was just so good! The only bad thing I will say about this book (if you can call it bad?), is that I wish it were longer.The main character is Sheeva Desmond. She is a nineteen year old girl, who was about to be married, but her fiance left her at the alter. Her parents are dead and she is penniless. She is offered a position as governess by Ronan Quinn. Ronan is a widower and a father to a young boy who doesn't speak. The little boy is not only mute, but very troubled, having seen his mother dying. She (the mother) died mysteriously, and some think maybe Ronan killed her.Ronan spent years in an unhappy marriage, that ended when his wife died. He is haunted by his wifes' mysterious death and of her ghost that walks the cliff where she died. He is struggling to stay away from Miss Desmond and not fall for her when she comes to Raghery Castle to work. It is hard since she is teaching his son and he can't stay away. He is soon falling head over heals for her as she falls for him. Full description on Goodreads here: [...]I think this is the best love novel I have ever read. I really enjoyed reading this and can't say enough about it. My hope is that I can describe it enough to interest you and that you will buy it, read it, and love it. I am more than certain that you will!This book belongs with the classics! It is so well described, it is like you are really there living these lives. The characters are so well thought out and realistic. You could really believe this actually happened. The castle sounds beautiful and creepy at the same time. The village and land on the island sound wild and beautiful.The love story is so amazing, you feel for the characters. You want for nothing other than the characters to end up together. I should warn everyone (as always), there is a sex scene, not to mention sexual tension, but it isn't graphic. None the less, if you don't like sexual books, then don't read this! CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED! Don't complain later!I cried and laughed a lot when reading this. Especially at Ronan and the things he said. He would probably be my favorite character, though I do like Sheeva. Sheeva sounds very beautiful and Ronan does sound handsome. It is hard not to like them, they have everything going for them (more or less).I highly recommend this book. I will be reading this book again very soon. I can't wait to finish some of the books I need to read, so I will have time to reread this. At the moment I don't have time. I have so many books to read and review for you guys.
