In Virgin Voyage, JJ Ellis presents the reader with an intriguing scenario that, while common in historical romance, is rare in contemporary. The unconsummated marriage between two people who are afraid to love and trust each other. Watching the couple slowly engage and open up against the stunning backdrop of an Alaskan cruise is a lovely touch, and the steamy lovemaking made it even better.The only thing that threw me off a bit was the feeling that this was book two, not one. So many momentous things occurred between the characters before the novel started that it almost seemed like there should have been a story before, rather than a slowly revealed back story.But that's a very small thing. Overall, I had fun with Virgin Voyage, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series to find out how the meddling mamas get the rest of their children married off.Nice work, Ms. Ellis.
