HISTORICAL NOVELS SOCIETY (USA)
"Romance fans will enjoy the exotic setting and the refreshing prominence of characters of color, as well as the passionate love. The romance does not overwhelm the book, however, and readers of Caribbean or military history will find much to pique their interest. This author loves her setting, and it shows." -- Heather Domin
