I should preface this by telling you that I have the emotional fortitude of Grover, (from Sesame Street, not the President), when it comes to my entertainment.I read frothy, happy ending books and am allergic to real angst or realistically portrayed pain and sadness.I picked this book on a whim because I was feeling nostalgic for the old style 'plane wreck plot device' that typifies any average Harlequin and for the most part, that's exactly what I got- complete with the need of the main characters to get naked to stave off hypothermia despite the fact they're in the tropics.  It was enjoyable but not super memorable.Then Ms. Madison shoved me off a virtual cliff into a deep, well written portrayal of pain and angst.  I cried and I'm still kind of mad about that.I was also impressed enough to write this review and buy another of her books.
