Visiting her military father while war raged might not have been the brightest thing Jenna Hayward has ever done. Ordered home, she never expected to find herself in even more danger! Caught in a storm, Jenna went topside to investigate and was swept overboard. From the frigid water, she watched helpless as the ship sinks under the waves. Three survivors remain -stranded in the middle of the ocean.
Jonathan Richmond, the 7th Earl of Charbeau never expected his return to England would be so difficult. But when his ship goes down and the delectable Jenna Hayward lands in his arms, he thanks providence they survived. Swept ashore a small island, he and others must make the best of the situation. At least until rescue.
But rescue was far off. With one beautiful woman and three desperate men, tempers become frayed. Each must battle their inner demons, raging desire and the dangerous animals on the island. Which will give first? Jenna cannot help but be aware of the danger. It will only be a matter of time before someone gets hurt. While her mind tells her the easy solution was to submit to the men, her heart tells her something else. Will she be able to divide the passion she feels in her body, from the love she was coming to know in her heart? Or will she be torn apart as the days stretch into months?
This is an amazingly erotic read. Some of the writing seemed overly descriptive at first but it evened out to be an enjoyable novel. It is not always easy to translate passion into a good and tasteful story. I felt this short work managed it very well. Savage Shores convey the plight of a single woman tapped alone with three very sensual and sexual men. I am not sure how realistic all this would be for the time period, but I truly enjoyed all the characters. If you are looking for a story to build your fantasies on, check out Emma Wildes Savage Shores.
