Wilder Shores of Love
RAVEN—As wild and free as his Indian forebears, he stood bronzed and naked, watching the civilized world—the world he had rejected—sail by his island home.
AURORA—As pure as the dawn, as gloriously beautiful as the rising sun, she was washed up on the remote shores of his refuge. Pampered heiress and unfettered, unadulterated male, they were as different as morning and midnight. But the moment her innocent flesh felt the searing touch of his lips, Aurora knew they were destined for tumultuous ecstasy on the... WILDER SHORES OF LOVE

Thoughts/words that come to mind= Dramatic--sometimes over dramatic
pretty cover
wild and wilderness
I dont know what the hero and heroine are thinking most of the time. yet i somehow tolerate it.
Is it weird that the move 'The blue lagoon' came to mind--probably because there is an exotic island, a hot sometimes naive hero and a really naive heroine.
In the Wilder Shores Of Love by Sandra Dubay the hero and heroine fall in love pretty quick . Raven, the hero with a mysterious past, saves the half dead heroine, the unbelievably rich and beautiful Aurora, who has washed up on shore. The attraction is immediate for both of them. Aurora already is possessive of Raven, after a few short minutes with him.
The heroine is almost raped three times but one of those was set up and the man involved in the pretend almost rape wouldn't have really have forced her.
The story is really dramatic and i rolled my eyes at the heroine who i feel was naive but grew up--if only a little bit by the end of the novel.She is eighteen years old and quite childlike due to her sheltered life --so much so that every (nice) male feels protective of , especially Raven.
She does do a few childlike things that i literally slapped my forehead and wondered what she was doing.
Raven, a half Indian, half American, has his own interesting background
such as: When rich woman would call for him in the middle of the night, married or not, to sleep with him because they wanted to make love with a 'savage'. They treated him coldly and barely acknowledged him outside of there bedrooms.--i felt sorry for him and for all the bad experiences with the rich. It lead him to hate society and vow never to fall in love.
The support characters all get a happy ending except for a few aka the villains. The one support character i really liked was Jennie.
All in all--it was an alright read if your into wilderness, Indian heroes,island,a confused heroine, possessive hero, betrayal, and 'I thought you did 'this' but you really didn't. Howrah!
