I am a huge Elizabeth Bevarly fan, but this was not her usual fare. This story was missing the humor and wit that is evident in every one of her stories. But, this was her very first book - something I didn't realize when I purchased it. A businessman, Silas, finds himself on a remote island in the Caribbean after his plane goes down. He meets (and within like 4 days) falls in love with Hester, a woman who also escaped the city life for an island lifestyle. The `romance' is superficial and uninteresting, and the characters - both the primary and secondary ones - are undeveloped. The book is bad. I would recommend sticking to modern Elizabeth Bevarly stories and staying out of her archives!

DESTINATIONS SOUTH
One rash day financial dynamo H.M. Somerset had cashed in her ritzy urban existence for a one-way ticket to a remote Caribbean isle. Now, two years later, she was at peace - until plane trouble stranded thorny workaholic mogul Silas Duran in her tropical Eden.

While impatiently awaiting rescue, Silas warmed to Heaster's "native" charms, and his sophisticated seduction proved beyond her power to resist. Still, she knew he was only sampling the pleasures of her world before returning to his own. Though he claimed to want her by his side, to him she was an island nymph without a past. What would happen once he discovered her true identity - and the real reason she'd fled to destinations south?
