"With its richly drawn characters, powerful conflict and vividly imagined setting, His Captive Bride is a romantic fantasy lover's dream. When it comes to sweeping, sizzling historical romance, Shelly Thacker is a shining star!" ( New York Times best-selling author Lara Adrian)

Interesting premise of a hidden island

These days it is hard to imagine there could be a hidden island that no one could find but in times past it could have happened. The story is a good one with a happy ending for everyone important.
