![]() ![]() Only when Grant finds Cammy, who is sick, and takes her on board ship, does Tori agree to accompany him.īut if Grant thinks that he can simply return a docile Victoria to England and collect his reward, he is quite mistaken. For the next several days, Tori leads Grant on a wild goose chase all over the island. ![]() When he sees her on the beach, he is captivated by her beauty, and immediately (and quite stupidly, I might add) leaps from the boat and runs after her. ![]() Grant was commissioned by Victoria’s grandfather to find her, and he has been searching for her for years. Victoria is, therefore, extremely wary when she sees Captain Grant Sutherland and a party of men arrive. She has survived not only the rigors of the jungle, but also the attentions of a sex-starved band of sailors who once sheltered on the island. She had to be strong and intrepid to survive and to keep herself and Cammy alive. Her parents were killed, and she spent the next eight years on a deserted South Pacific island, alone except for her companion, Camellia Scott. When she was thirteen, Victoria Dearbourne was shipwrecked. My ongoing frustration with the hero and heroine served to limit my enjoyment of an otherwise entertaining novel. The Price of Pleasure has the sort of adventurous plot that’s sure to entice me, but in the end the book left me a little unsatisfied. ![]()
