Wounded from a breakup of her engagement in the ninth hour, Maggie needs a place to pick up the shattered pieces of her life and her self-confidence. When she chooses to continue the plans for her honeymoon, a remote mountain resort for couples, without her should-have-been husband, she encounters resistance.
Drake chose to host only couples for a reason. Now that this woman insists that she be able to join the group for the two weeks as a single camper, he tries to intimidate her out of it. However, she reveals a stiffer backbone than her soft appearance suggests.
Wendy Daly uses her pen to capture the experience of getting away from it all to try to recapture one's purpose. Maggie's struggles are clear, real, and touching without being overwhelming. She doesn't wallow in her grief. She works through it seeking the purpose she had when she first met her former fiance.
Drake is a wonderful male lead, strong, rugged (in looks and personality), and very confident in his view of life. Wendy Davy cuts through his personality layers gradually through the eyes of the heroine, revealing the complexity of a real man. She works in engaging realistic characters, not stereotypes.
An intriguing read, "Drake's Retreat" kept me engaged in the story from beginning to end. I could not put it down of my own volition. I am eager to read more from this author and explore more of her characters and stories.
