After facing desperate heartache and loss, Mercy agrees to escape a bleak future in London and join a bride ship. Wealthy and titled, Joseph leaves home and takes to the sea as the ships surgeon to escape the pain of losing his family. He has no intention of settling down, but when Mercy becomes his assistant, they must fight against a forbidden love.
I thought this story was easy to predict. Maybe part of it was the narrator of the audiobook, but it just made it seem like while Mercy was innocent and poor, it made her come off a little childlike and uneducated. In my mind I did see her as very compassionate, loyal and brave, but the book made it hard to see other things. I knew this was a romance from the description and the way they come together was better than I thought it would be. Give it 3 stars.
