I loved Heart's safe Passage! Our heroine, Phoebe was spunky and feisty and the perfect match for our rogue hero Captain Rafe. Both of them harbored secrets from their past, I loved the way the author used God and faith to uncover those secrets and help these characters through the healing process.
This book also had the action/adventure that I found lacking in the first book.
I really feel that the author stepped it up in this book and she really found her footing. I'm looking forward to the third book in this series.

The heroine frustrated me and many times I wanted to shake her but it all comes right in the end. I like a story where the hero, heroine live happily ever after and this story left me with the desire to read more of this author.

Romance on the High Seas
It seems like every time IâÂÂve turned around over the past year, IâÂÂve been hearing bits and pieces about this book. Before reading it, I knew several things: the hero was a bad boy on a dangerous mission, the heroine was a headstrong midwife, and they went to sea.
Well, the story proved to be much more than a bad boy meets a good girl and they live happily ever after. âÂÂSweepingâ is the best word I can think of to describe it. It starts off in Virginia, where the heroine heads to sea against her will and due to the scheming of a cruel sister-in-law. From Virginia, PhoebeâÂÂs whisked away to Bermuda, then England, and even France. Despite the wide scope of geography covered in the novel, Eakes does a masterful job creating mood and setting. I felt like I was personally visiting every country she described and living through the War of 1812. Eakes understanding of the American, British, and Scottish mindsets is nothing short of amazing.
Furthermore, the characters of Rafe and Phoebe are richly drawn. Neither is perfect, both make mistakes, and both struggle along the path to forgiveness and redemption. They have so much to overcome both physically and emotionally, that at times I wondered if they would ever make it. But they DID make it, and itâÂÂs a wonderful story readers wonâÂÂt soon forget.
