From the first chapter, I knew I held something unique in my hands.  Carly is a heroine in her own class--a woman who has been wounded, physically and emotionally, in a boating accident.  Throw in the detail that she has trained in sailing all of her life in the pursuit of Olympic gold, and then pair that with a post-traumatic phobia of the ocean she grew up loving and the unfortunate fact that the love of her life is to blame for her accident and you have some of the best conflict I've ever read in this genre.  This was a great read.  The ins-and-outs of sailing captured my attention; this is a subject area I know absolutely nothing about, and the details were interwoven with the narrative seamlessly.  By the end of the book, I felt as though I had been given a glimpse into a world I had only viewed from very far off.  And on the subject of the end of the book--Wow!  What a climax.  I was on the edge of my seat.  Well done, Ms. Oliver.Note: I was provided an ARC for review as a professional courtesy. No monetary or other compensation was involved.
