She just doesn’t get it transferred over into the main characters. I feel the author has it in her because of the picture she draws with her descriptions of the events of the time period in Seattle. It’s more of a telling between the characters. The author has a lot of thought process for them but very little interaction. The main characters don’t have a lot of conversations/interactions together. There is too much going on at the same time. While his business is suffering, he makes sure her business thrives. To save her dress shop and provide for her by keeping her close, he offers her a marriage of convenience. When Seattle’s historical events come into play, the need to marry her alters in his favor. Before his plan of courtship is in place, she offers him a marriage of convenience, which he turns down. Instead of courting her, he gets to know her by ordering more shirts. Her “I will deal with it tomorrow” attitude gets old really fast.Ĭaptain Con O’Neil is ready to settle down and falls in love with a real seamstress. She is a inane, angry little birdbrain that re-hires the lying cheat who made her jaded in the first place and sends the guy who loves her away. Especially when it is staring her in the face. She married for convenience, yet insisted her husband be faithful while she didn’t give him the time of day. I feel no empathy for this character at all. Yes, Fayth is a real seamstress and not one of the ‘ladies of the night,’ whom are referred to as seamstresses. There is nothing honest about this storyline. I had no problem putting the book aside and doing something else, which is unusual for me. There is a lot of lying going on for an honest title.
However, the storyline is long and drawn out with too much thrown into the mix to keep the story flowing to a predictable ending for a romance novel. The description of the historical event of the great fire on the Seattle waterfront, which resulted in the city elevating its waterfront property, is very good.
