I'd say Caribbean Bronze rather than Gold. Despite the promising setup this just didn't gel with me. It is a crazy old skool mess: bad relatives, crazy jealous rapey H, convoluted plot, and a heroine who missed her calling as a doormat.
I was thrown right away by the hero's name: Vern. Your taste in entertainment may not be as highbrow as mine, so I forgive you if you don't remember the '80s Saturday morning show Hey Vern, It's Ernest! and the subsequent movies. Ernest Scared Stupid was my favorite. Know wut I mean, Vern?
This book took place before Vern became Ernest's silent, long suffering good buddy. Good 'ole Vern used to be a complete ass.
It starts when Vern is 35 and Eden is 20. Vern has just returned from the U.S. to Jamaica where he was restoring the family fortunes and, supposedly, mooning after Eden.
Vern owns a plantation in Jamaica bordering the home Eden shares with her father. He's spent a lot of time in the U.S. because his father apparently squandered the family fortune. He had returned two years earlier when Eden was 18. It was her birthday, but her absent-minded artiste father had forgotten. Vern sweeps in and takes her off to dinner and gifts her with a pair of earrings. He vacillates between making the moves on her and calling her a child. She thinks she's in lurve and freely offers herself, but he decides she may be too young to know her mind and holds off. They spend a lot of time together over the next few weeks.
Meanwhile Vern's 27-year-old sister, Jessie, is getting it on with his plantation manager, a handsome Spaniard who Vern doesn't approve of due to his questionable skill as manager. Jessie is sure her brother will put a stop to their love, so she convinces Diego they must run away together. They wreck while running away and she convinces her lover that he needs to leave her (with her legs pinned to the dash) because if her brother finds them he'll never let them be together.
Jessie also changed her mind mid-run (like 2 miles down the road) and decided she wasn't in love after all. She then fingers Eden as the driver and Vern is furious. Not sure why she does this as she doesn't give a crap about the lover anyway, but Jessie seems to enjoy being evil for evil's sake.
We find out later that while Vern wasn't thrilled with Spanish lover due to his job performance, he didn't really care that much. Jessie was 27 years old, after all and they'd apparently never been particularly close. Logic, in any form, means little here.
Vern is already mega jealous, because he thinks the Spanish lover wants Eden and now he believes she has injured his sister. They fly off to America for surgery.
2 years later brother and sister are back. Vern seeks out Eden, who has literally been counting the days of misery since Vern left. He bullies her away from the dance she's attending and delivers some nasty insults about her rampant promiscuity and does the punishing kiss thing for good measure.
Eden and dear old dad (who he insists she call 'Joe') have been struggling a while. He lost his will to paint after her mother left when Eden was 3. He was once a semi-famous painter, but now he's lost his 'fire' and doesn't do much to earn a living. Eden (who has had only one clean, but faded dress for years) collects shells and sells them at a local tourist shop to support herself and Joe.
Eden comes home one day to find Joe looking guilty and Vern rubbing his hands like a cartoon villain. Supposedly Joe wants to sell their home and 2 acres to a hotel chain, but Vern's family has right of first refusal. Vern decides he will buy the land and, out of the kindness of his heart, will marry Eden so Joe doesn't have to worry about her. He'll also allow Joe to continue living in the home for the rest of his life and the payments will be made to him in weekly installments. It seems Joe likes to gamble and it isn't wise to give him a lump payment.
What is Vern getting out of this convoluted arrangement, Eden asks. A brood mare and a slave for his poor crippled sister, Jessie.
On the wedding night, the H roughly takes the h's virginity and then blames her for hurting her, because why should he have believed it when she told him she wasn't the town tramp. After all, she ruined his poor sister's life and tried to take her lover and is just a terrible, teasy trampy tramp!
Vern is generally a complete ass, but of course turns out to be a fantastic lover, so Eden sits around and pines for him and does her best to be a companion (slave) to Jessie. His sister is vicious and vindictive, playing up her not-so-severe injury and putting ideas about OW in the heroine's head. Why? Again, I don't know. Jessie just like to be mean.
The Spanish lover shows up again wanting Eden to intervene with Jessie for his sake since he still loves her so and is scared of Vern. Eden, inexplicably, decides to help and Vern catches them while they are sitting in a car as Eden is telling him that Jessie has a new fiance and he should just forget her. Dude pushes her out of the car and speeds off, leaving Eden to face the wrath of Vern.
Vern sends her back to her dad, he's done with her whoring ways. He'll send her stuff along later.
Eden mopes around her father's house for a while and eventually collapses. Nope, surprisingly, she's not pregnant. She has appendicitis that's been brewing a while. She has to spend some time in the hospital.
During the this time, Jessie, for more unexplained reasons, develops a conscience. Supposedly she can't stand Vern's suffering and worry. She tells Vern she made up the whole story about Eden driving the car and may have made it look like Eden was into her ex to throw him off the trail of her illicit affair.
Why couldn't Eden have told him the truth? Who the hell knows. It would have made things too simple.
Anyway, Vern does apologize and asks for her forgiveness and they love it up on a Jamaican beach.
Mildly amusing for some of the evil sister's unexplained wickedness and the poor, put-upon heroine and her one faded dress (reminded me of Diana Palmer).

When hero thought heroine was an innocent girl, he said “heroine should have experience”, when hero wrongly assumed heroine had experience, he called her “tramp”. I love MP’s heroes. :))

It's difficult to enjoy a book when you hate both characters, it's impossible when you hate all the characters.
The plot would be good, ms Pargeter doesn't write boring books, ever.
Unfortunately all the characters here are hateful.
Obnoxious.
The heroine. A spineless 18 yo virgin, she falls in love with the mich older and experienced hero, and is in the same time friend with his sister, who's having an affair with one of the hero's employees.
The sister uses her to hide her affair and the heroine finds herself in very compromising situations that she refuses to explain to the hero to protect his bitch sister. A woman of 28.
So she spoils her relationship with the hero because he believes it's her who's having an affair with om.
Then the bitch sister has an accident with her boyfriends and tells the hero it was the heroine driving, aaaaaaand the heroine doesn't deny.
Stupid?
Idiot?
No, I need a stronger word to define her.
So the hero leaves her and comes back two years later. Still pissed off. Still thinking her a slut and a coward because she caused an accident who crippled his bitch sister.
Slut-shaming after slut-shaming, he forces her to marry him, because he's poor, nobody's having him and she owes him and his sister.
His sister.
A cow. A bitch. And I apologize with those wonderful animals because they are much much better than her when they are at their worst.
She not only is angry with the heroine (even if it would be the heroine that should be angry with her) but she pretends not to remember what happened during her accident and does her best to put her in a bad light each time the hero is around.
They get married, but the hero is still slut-shaming her and their wedding night is awful, he thinks she's experienced even if she tells him she's not. And the topping is that he blames her for it.
That is something I hate, it's typical of abusers, the blame of their victim. She asked for it.
I wish he died of a stroke.
Things are not improving as time goes by, because he has sex with her every night but still hates her and doesn't believe her, and the idiot woman doesn't try to explain what happened because she's worried for his slut sister.
So at this point I didn't even feel any angst because the heroine was the most stupid woman in the world, but sadly it is not the end.
The sister's ex lover, the one and the same man that caused her accident and run away, leaving her crippled, is back and asks the heroine to see her sil.
The idiot and tstl heroine of course doesn't tell the hero anything, but accepts to meet om and of course the hero finds them together, and all the heroine is able to tell him is that om means nothing to her.
Yes, that is just the right answer.
The hero sends her away and asks her a divorce, but after some days the heroine is ill, the hero is back to her and the sister confessed all her sins.
And everyone is happy and glad.
But meeeeeeeeee.
But. Meeeeeee.
Those two deserved to die, the hero is an idiot of epic proportions, the heroine is the stupidest of all the heroines I have met until now (I think there still be other more stupid because there's no end to stupidity)
I couldn't enjoy this book because everyone is awful and I wanted all of them to suffer and die in the end.
I know I'm being a bitch but I can't help myself, I can't stand stupid people.

"Caribbean Gold" is the story of Eden and Vern.
Know the lyrics to "Hot and Cold" by Katy Perry? Well, that's exactly what our bipolar hero is.
A typical MP douchebag, whose brain went as follows about the heroine
Starting of the book: Omg you're an innocent flower, I needz
2 minutes later, thanks to his conniving sister: You slut, bye
2 years later: Hi hoe
Literally ten minutes later: Your coot might be penetrated but Imma still marry you
Him on his wedding night: Oh shit you a virgin
5 minutes later: Still hate ya, Cya
His mood swings were so drastic I think he needed some Lithium (its a mood stabilizer). The heroine, as expected, was a spinless, weepy, woeful waif who was a pawn in everyone's chess match. All she did was cry and begrudge her fate. If I was her, Id have smacked the sister and the hero, and then sailed off on a boat (which would have most likely sunk because of lack of grey matter). OMG she was soooooo stupid, she was getting kicked by the hero, his sister, the OM..EVERYONE. And all she did was wail. AGH.
SWE?

3.5 stars. This one had a good set-up, and I was prepared for some fun, downtrodden heroine torture followed by extreme hero groveling. It never got there though. The story kept my interest but it wasn't as gut-wrenching as I wanted it to be. And without the gut-wrenching emotional tugs, you're basically left with a very cruel hero and a very unjustly mistreated heroine, and a less-than-satisfying resolution. Still, it was readable and I was happy for the HEA.

Uhhhhh.....no. All around nope. Two rape scenes? From the HERO?? Are you joking? This heroine was struggling in the twilight zone or something. Everyone around her was CRAZY!!!! Her 'friend' forces her to cover her ass twice. Her dad sells her off. The hero is dumb as dirt....if the heroine 'stole' your sister's guy...why would your sister let her drive her car...? This man could not even think! He was so stupid and terrible. I just wanted the heroine and Faith to run away and live better lives together. Two honeymoon rapes....yeah very romantic. Barf. The sister is a jerk and wants to ruin the heroine's life...cause.....reasons? The sister's old boyfriend comes back for.....reasons? The heroine says that the more the hero treated her poorly the more she still loved him....for reasons? Thats some abuse. Hero wants to divorce her after 4 seconds for....you guessed it......reasons? And then heroine convientently gets sick, the hero now believes her....for reasons.....then the sister comes clean cause the hero looked bad? Uhhh, k. And all is forgiven?!!! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!! 100% SKIP!

I read this book a long time ago and I still remember how I hated the H. Let's all agree that he is as dumb as a rock
November 19, 2025
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????
The only thing good about this book is the island setting and the h's budding art career.
Unlike a lot of readers, I'm not one for groveling H's but in this case, I make a definite exception!! And this jerk didn't grovel enough, hardly at all, in my opinion!
He meets the h when she's only 18 (to his 33) and is full of horndogs for her, yet knows how innocent she is, yet he does a complete about face when his psycho sister tells him a pack of crap and sets things up to make it look like the H was not only fooling around with her boyfriend, but caused a car accident that damaged Psycho's legs! And the stupid ass H believes her and calls the h all kinds of names!! Psycho was in her late 20's but acted more like a spoiled bratty teenager but her dumbo brother adores her! He breaks the h's heart by breaking things off (I'd have been celebrating, very heart whole) and when they meet again two years later things only get worse!
There are insults from the H (which the h tries to match but the silly girl still loves him), a contrived marriage, a forced seduction, where he discovers his supposedly 304 wife was a virgin, then claims it's all her fault for his pretty much raping her! (She told you more than once she hadn't slept with anyone, you stupid ass!!!)
After that, he (of course) becomes more considerate and the sex is great, but that's pretty much all they had, with him still treating her less than lovingly and her trying to act like she doesn't love him.
It goes on like this, with the h having to contend with her crap husband, his equally crappy (as well as insane) sister who keeps trying to make her look bad, (and the H buys it all and sticks up for Psycho every time) as well as her weak, brooding, unsuccessful artist of a father, who was such a Debbie Downer it's no wonder his wife left him!
When Psycho's old boyfriend shows up and wants her back (why???) the h is again a victim of circumstances, with the H again accusing her of playing around.
And when the truth about Psycho finally comes out (there's actually a simp who wants to marry her and the boyfriend from two years ago still loves her, talk about wimpy betas) and the h is in the hospital with appendicitis, he writes her a lame letter with an equally lame apology, and she can't wait to see him!!!
OH, COME ON!!!
I stopped reading there, because I didn't want a HEA, I wanted her to dump his butt, have Mr. Beta dump Psycho, the other beta come to his senses and leave, and brother and sister are left alone and miserable!
Sounds good to me!
