 This was the last Madeleine Brent book written. I really like this story, but it isn't one of my favorites. I think Peter O'Donnell was tired of writing these books, and it tends to show a little bit.

I do recommend it- it's a fascinating look at frontier Australia and life with aborigines.

It's no Moonraker's Bride but still a fun read.

This is an enjoyable book, but very disposable. I didn't feel any particular affection for any of the characters, but kept reading anyway. Only for fans of romantic suspense, I think.
