- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5What does a woman do who wants to travel to the other side of the world do when it's the 1800's and she is like I said a woman....I am not gonna spell it out but you guessed right. Well I hope you did, she is honorable after all. Naughty readers. Lol
Anyhow, Georgiana is to marry her cousin, yay?...not so yay after all. Her brother is in New Zeeland and she is, different, yes very different cos of her upbringing. She was a bit of fresh air (again I will not say anything cos I am horrid that way with teasing).
Harry is a captain who is in a spot of trouble and has some secrets from his past. If you expect some whirlwind love story then no, this is not it. They become friends, they become angry, they become friends again, they want each other and after a long long time they actually do fall in love. But the road there is long and rocky. As it should be, no insta love here.
I actually liked the ship part the most :) I blame it on a certain tv-show I watched many years back.
If you want slow-building romance and a bit of suspense at the end then this is the book for you - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Close to the Wind by Zana Bell is an adventure that begins in England in 1868 when a nineteen-year-old Georgiana da Silva overhears her fiancé Jasper discussing a plot to murder her beloved brother Charlie, who is prospecting for gold in New Zealand.She flees her aunt’s home in Victorian England, vowing to reach Charlie before his killer does. Masquerading as a young lad, Georgie, she persuades her way on board a ship, Sally, which is sailing for New Zealand, intending to work as a cabin boy. The captain of the ship is the spirited Harry Trent, who is a fugitive from the law. He is also determined to reach New Zealand, hoping to make his fortune there.When Georgie’s gender is revealed Harry tries to abandon her in Madeira, but she is not someone to give in easily. Soon Georgiana and Harry discover mutual attraction for each other but they are not willing to surrender to their passion without accomplishing the tasks they had set out for. Trailed by nameless enemies, the voyage continues to their final stop in Dunedin.Much of the story is set on board the ship. The journey is a long one around Cape Town, Africa, offering plenty of dangers, intrigue, drama, adventures and misadventures. Zana Bell has skillfully crafted a passionate romantic adventure. The narrative is comfortable, the 19th-century gold rush is maddening, and the characters are convincing and likeable. If you love high sea adventures, this one is for you. All in all, Close to the Wind is a delightfully enjoyable read!
