Joy and Gabriel met when they young and, as usual, consumated their attraction just before he had to leave as he had to explore the world, etc. So, off he goes to have an exciting life and make himself even more irresistible. The heroine stays put, pregnant, having the child, and never moving forward emotionally or even physically. (sounds familiar?)
Anyway, back he comes, the brave hero and the attraction is still there. He finds about the child and they fall in love again once they can forgive each other.
This is not a bad book at all, just way too predictable. The heroine is a little dull and you really do feel that she should have pulled herself together and gotten a life.
The book itself is well researched and the descriptions of caving are fascinating. I don't think I would ever be able to do something like that.
I'd borrow it from a friend, rather than rush out to buy it. It's OK, but not a keeper.
The hero didn't appeal to me; it's difficult to like, much less respect, a man who seduces a young woman and then disappears without ever following up with her personally to see if there were any consequences from their affair, and THEN has the nerve to be outraged when he thinks she had an abortion after he abandoned her. Immaturity and irresponsibility are just not characteristics I find attractive in a man. My sole response to the hero was that he needed grow up and get over himself. As for the heroine, she was just a little too much of a stoic victim to suit my tastes.
I wish Lowell had left this book in the past, where it belonged, and spent her time writing a good novel instead of rehashing one that was mediocre at best to begin with, and certainly NOT worth a hardcover edition.
