![]() ![]() And Brockway over sells Anne's backstory. This one is a wee bit too melodramatic for its own good. Lacks humor, which is odd, considering the last novel I'd read by Brockway (The Other Guy's Bride) was actually fairly humorous. The blurb on the cover led me to believe it would be a cat and mouse game - it's not. ![]() Jack and Anne fall in love, much angst ensues. He's being manipulated by his father (Jamison) who is the head of some covert agency and sends Jack out to do all sorts of underhanded things. ![]() Jack Seward), who is tracking the thief, is a spy and a bit of a hardened rogue. Prior to his death - he sent his wife a note telling her that she would be free of him now, and her inability to love him as he deserved. Then wandered off into battle resulting his own death and his entire crew. Basically he contrived to get someone to give him a Captain's commission based on a scant amount of naval experience. Apparently, her husband (Matthew) committed suicide by War. She steals jewelry from rich ladies who pledge to contribute to her charity for injured and homeless soliders but fail to follow through. Connie Brockway's novel All Through the Night is a story about a widow (Anne) who steals to assuage her guilt over her husband's death (and well the men that died with him). ![]()
