Collect The Forbidden Enchantment (Frenchman’s Island #2) Imagined By Nina Bruhns Depicted In Physical Book
FORBIDDEN ENCHANTMENT is a suspense/romance novel, I felt it had a good plot, but moved a bit slowly, Frenchman's Creek, book

But hers is boundby a dead mans love,

But can she give herself to a dead man Whats more, can she love him
excellent romance.
I loved the characters. the plotting was well paced and interesting, Modern day pirate story.
Read up on the author and found out that she had won the Daphne du Maurier Award, twice.
Classic! This book is really good, It is one of the ones that can't be put down until you fall asleep or get done with the book.
Waking up after two hundred years in a body that is not yours is disconcerting, Even more disconcerting is finding a woman who is a dead ringer for your long dead fiancée.
She smells the same, she tastes the same, she responds to you the same, only
your reaction is much more potent.
Well, that's what happened to Captain Sullivan Fouquet when he opened his eyes in the hospital.
He learned from his best friend that up until three months ago has been a ghost, that the man, Fire Chief Andre Sullivan, who's body he now owned was actually dead and Sully was back to witness the twohundredyearold curse come to an end, by seeing the last descendant of Lord Henry Sullivan die.
Well, it won't be easy, since Elizabeth Hamilton, the woman that looks just like another Elizabeth, the woman Sully loved with all his heart in his previous life, was in town to convince Andre Sullivan to donate his bone marrow to her adopted brother Caleb.
. . Lord Henry Sullivan's last descendant,
Add to it a crazy descendant of a pirate desperately wanting to learn a voudou curse that would make him immortal, Sully's gutwrenching reaction to Elizabeth, his discovery that the other Elizabeth has probably betrayed him, and the fact the new Elizabeth doesn't believe he truly is Captain Sullivan Fouquet, and Sully is definitely in deep trouble.
I'm all for ghost stories, reincarnation, voodoo, and all other "woowoo" stuff, but this story somehow wasn't my cup of tea.
The characters were too bland, the pacing slow, the story completely out there, the villain didn't seem to know what he wanted.
. . But what grated most of all was the fact the hero himself got on my nerves,
I simply couldn't stand the man, And since I couldn't stand him, I couldn't truly immerse myself in his story and his predicament, He was mercurial, obtuse, vengeful which I liked, but knew he wouldn't see it through, and sometimes plain stupid.
I just wanted for the story to be over, which, with the whopping page count, wasn't soon enough.
