The Bride's Rescuer

by Charlotte Douglas

In Saving Celia

He'd Saved Himself

Celia sensed her enigmatic captor had a dangerous past, one she'd be better off not learning. And yet, it was Cameron's tough exterior as well as his tortured soul that made Celia long to spend a lifetime wrapped in his arms. But just as a future together looked possible, the evil that Cameron had feared for six years reared its ugly head, threatening the dreams they had dared to dream...

Wow. This book just took the #1 position in my worst books read in the recent past (like since the glciers receeded). I could list spoilers, but the only true spoiler would be anyone reading this book.

Cameron is fleeing his past on a secluded island when Celia, in her torn and tattered wedding dress washes ashore. Both are running from their pasts and must learn to face the future – together or apart. This nice cozy beach read earns a solid 3 rating.

Nice fluff.

[Kay · Rating 2 out of 5]

2 1/2 Stars ~ Celia's about to walk down the aisle when a mysterious woman tells her an amazing story. Celia can't face the groom so she leaves him in his tuxedo at the yacht club. Sailing away in her father's boat, a storm over takes her, throwing her into the sea. Cameron's been living as a recluse on his island for 6 years and he's not pleased at all when Celia washes up on his beach. He can't let her leave for fear she'll reveal his whereabouts, but he can't let her stay either for fear of his heart.

I thought the story line was excellent, though for some reason the book didn't seem to reach it's potential. I did enjoy it though.

For an intrigue book, the only intrigue was if I wouldhe able to finish this book. Was very boring.
