A shipboard romance that covers the span of a voyage to India in the 1820s. It's a last-ditch effort for Caroline to find a husband in the new British Colony but falls in love with the sea captain instead. This is a very proper love story true to the time period with plenty of emotional highs and lows for both Caroline and Captain Scott. I haven't come across too many bride-ship-to-India romances, so this was a nice refreshing change from the typical London Regencies. The tale flagged a bit when the party arrives in India, but the writing makes it worthwhile overall. 3.5 stars.
