Wonderful

I am so glad I happened to stumble across this book at the library, because I absolutely loved this book. It is one of those books that actually grabs your heart and touches it. It had a great plot, a wonderful hero and heroine, and was filled with love and emotion. This book is a great example of the reason why I read romance books. I only wish that this author had written other great romance books. I can't seem to find any other romance books written by this author.

Well above the average Romance novel for heart and content

Into The Wild Wind is more than a romance. It's a story with historical significance. Hannah is a woman who defied the normal behavior of the times. The marvelous backdrop of the clipper ships makes for a wonderous story. You are never sure how it's going to end. I loved it.

an absolute gem

I am a huge fan of Jane Goodger so buying her latest book was a given. Into the Wild Wind is a great read. Anyone whoe enjoys to read will love this book. It has it all, romance, suspense, betrayal, and includes such a range of emotional depth it will keep you enthralled to the very last. Jane Goodger has a way of creating characters that are believable, relatable, loveable and endearing. This book made me laugh, cry and smile, and I must say Jane Goodger has done it again. If you are just beginning to read Goodger I say continue on and do not miss any of her titles, each is a gem. And if you would like a recommendation....although I love all of her novels I am particularly fond of When there is Hope and Anything for love.

Great book!

I bought this book in the morning, started reading at noon and couldn't put it down for the rest of the day! I wasn't satisfied until I finished this wonderful book. This is the first book I've read by Jane Googer and I'm going to order all her others. I loved it!

Search for fiance leads to ship board romance

Hannah Wright is determined to go to San Francisco and find her missing fiance, Allen Pritchard. She applies for the position of navigator upon the Windfire, a sleek clipper ship. The captain agrees on one condition--her father must agree. Much to Captain James McRae's consternation, Hannah's father agrees. As they draw closer to their destination, Hannah realizes that James McRae has stolen the one thing she promised never to give any man--her heart. This book captured my attention from the very beginning. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. This love story promises adventure, entertainment and passion; all of which Jane Goodger aptly delivers.
