The inhabitants of a tiny island purposefully wreck ships to loot what they're carrying. They are generally overlooked by the bigger islands and this is how they keep everyone fed and clothed. Mira, our heroine, works on the wrecking crew and has an affinity for the water, but she doesn't understand why. After catching the attention of the "law" Mira's father and the leader of their island are arrested. Determined to save them, Mira leaves the island hoping the mysterious information her mother left her will help save everyone.

My problem with the story was the number of times Mira gave Seth a second chance and proceeded to break her trust and her heart. This wasn't some sweeping romance, this was a guy using a girl so he could get approval from his mother and his own crew. In my opinion, there wasn't one redeemable quality about Seth and I couldn't see any reason for Mira to ever take him back. Lord Tresillian might be another story, but nothing was cultivated between them that would lead me to believe he's her HEA.

I loved the premise of this book, but in the end it feel flat to me.

Not sure what happened with this series, but it has definitely gone off the rails

The storyline was cute and I really enjoyed the mystery of Josephine and the Tulleys. 

I was a little disappointed with the ending.  The Nate/Jack thing went right up to the end and then BAM! we're supposed to believe she made her choice that quickly?

My one wish for the book was for us to spend time with Abbey exploring London.  I wanted to her go visit her namesake...maybe even with her dad.

I could not get into this story.  I may try it again later.
