Synopsis from Goodreads:
Intelligent, a university graduate and a successful careerist, Selene became emotionally scarred by unhappy relationships. Riled and taunted through the years by her former college roommate Janice, Selene gave in to the long-term desire to "get one back‟ at Janice by having a passionate holiday encounter.
Immediately drawn to the sea and enthralled by its brutal yet sensual waves, Selene seduces a young boy on a deserted beach. Once she comes to meets the mature and powerful Hudson, Selene finally begins to claim her sensual destiny. Through a slow process, accentuated by Selene's shyness, introspection and circumspection, she embarks on a long and elaborate interplay of leading on and rejection. The volcanic passion builds until there is a blazing row. A possible drowning, the final ritual undressing at long last, leads to the ultimate flowering of the woman Selene was meant to be.
My Review:
The characters in this story are extremely uniquely developed. You get to know a great deal about certain aspects of the characters, those directly related to their actions in the novel. The supporting cast is just that, support to help carry the story forward. Their development is directly related to that.
As a whole, this was an interesting novel that kept me wondering and guessing throughout.
