This is the story about two people who are stranded together on an isolated island.  Jade and Griff are both angry, disillusioned people.  Both are wealthy and powerful in their own way.  On the island, however, Griff has the advantage since he has strong survival skills and Jade has none.  With little regard for feelings, Griff teaches Jade to fend for herself.  This part of the story was very well done.  I felt like I was a watcher on the island with these two people.  As they were rescued, though, the story began to wander.  I missed the clear, concise direction the story had in the first part.  I can see why Jade had trouble understanding her role.  Griff was so strong as a guide on the island and then he just let go.  Jade did figure it out and learned to stand on her own two feet in the real world.  Well done and congratulations to her!  The courtroom scenario and the father were not well done.  The courts would never have allowed all that nonsense to occur.  The father was so strong in his convictions, he never would have turned so quickly with so little incentive.  I have come to rely on Hayse’ stories so I may be too harsh with this one because I truly did enjoy my time reading this one.
