Oceans Between Us reminded me of the Harlequin Romances I read when I was younger. What I realize, now that I'm older, is that many times, the hero and heroines of those old romances didn't really earn their Happily Ever After. Helen's book changes that. Both the hero and the heroine have to face up to some harsh truths and make decisions and sacrifices to have the happily ever after that they want. They face obstacles and opposition from people they never expected to stand in their way, but they keep working for what they want.Oceans Between Us is a sweet romance that reflects how real relationships are full of give and take and compromise. By the end of the story, I was confident the couple would be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary, and for me, that's the mark of a good story, when I care about the characters staying together.
