A luxury cruise to Nova Scotia is the perfect sabbatical for overworked professor Sheri Stephens...especially when she's spending her nights in the arms of a sensual stranger. Sheri surrenders completely to this magical interlude on the high seas, never dreaming that her lover isn't who he seems. Or that he has an agenda of his own.
Sheri may be beautiful, but Dalton's never forgotten how she stood in the way of his academic success or forgiven her for it. Now he's ready to take sweet revenge. He'll seduce the gorgeous professor on the moonlit waters and at every port of call. But his plans go awry when he starts falling for Sheri.
Can she forgive his deception? Can he let go of the past? And more importantly, is their bond strong enough to take them to their final destination...a love worth fighting for?

This review is from: Destination Love (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
The story itself was good but some of the details didn't ring true. Sheri is in her 20s and Dalton his 30s but they act as if they are in their 50s at least. The music they listen to, the way they talk, just seems much older than they are supposed to be. And, Ms Forster regularly has her female characters tell the male to "Get in me" and the male tells the female to "open up and give me your mouth"? Those phrases make me cringe but I continue to try her novels. Don't know if I will try in the future. She just isn't for me.

This book was hot and steamy. I love how Gwynne Forster created Sheri and Dalton's relationship. It was chemistry from the beginning and when they hit the sheets you can feel the love. I am suprise that Gwynne wrote such a hot book because she is more conservative with her other books and it takes time to read them. I read this book in a day because I couldn't put it down.I love how she did Destination Love. You will not be disappointed in this book. Great work!!

I have read some of Gwynne Forster's previous works and didn't like it too much but attributed it to the how long ago they were published. I tried to give the benefit of the doubt and bought this book and again was disappointed. The characters weren't realistic to me. For people that are so young their behavior lends to a much older age. The way that they react to certain situations does not agree with their age. I have found that in a lot of Forster's books you find yourself stopping and saying "Wait, people don't talk like that anymore!" or "Thats not realistic." I am finding myself doing a lot of that and unfortunately that may have caused to stop reading her books.
