Wow, what a great read!  I was trying to review another book and gave up I could not quite figure out what my dissatisfaction with it was.  Then I bought "If I Wait for You" on my kindle.  I knew exactly what was wrong with that book and everything that was right about this book.What was right about this story? It was different and the same as other good historical romances.  The same because I loved the characters and different in its setting and s/l.  Ms. Goodgar wrote a beautiful and touching story.  An exciting mystery and enticing love story rapped in one rather short story.I found myself trying to put it down and not reading it because I wanted it to last!  I was not very successful in that.I will now buy Jared's story and hope for Gardners.The author stated at the end of the book that there was hesitation in publishing this book because it included whaling!  Whaling was and is a part of history.  Perhaps even necessary if viewed in the context of the time.  Even if it were not, I repeat, it is history, we cannot wish it away and I believe it was Edmund Burke who said "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."I recommend this book to anyone who loves historical romance.Gardners story......PLEASE!!P.S.  The tile is so appropriate and fits so perfectly with the story.  I loved it.
