Charmaine Ryan knows only poverty and pain growing up. In the wake of a horrifying tragedy, she seeks a new life, and fate leads her into the private world of the wealthy Duvoisin clan. At first, it seems as if nothing terrible could touch this seemingly charmed family. But an ill wind blows through the halls and chambers of the Duvoisins' sprawling island retreat, carrying betrayal, deceit, and ominous peril.

Quickly, Charmaine is caught up in the secrets and mystique swirling around the enigmatic family. At the center are shipping tycoon Frederic Duvoisin and his youthful wife, Colette. And there is Paul Duvoisin, a dashing seducer and Frederic's bastard son, who stirs a dangerous fascination in the two women; the scheming Agatha Ward, who will not rest until she's taken Colette's place in Frederic's heart as well as in his bed; and exiled son, John, who reenters the family fold, stoking the turmoil as he unveils truths best kept hidden. Ultimately, Charmaine chooses to stand with Colette against formidable enemies, but has she made the right decision?

A sweeping, remarkable blend of adventure, romance, intrigue, and suspense, A Silent Ocean Away heralds the arrival of a glorious new voice on the historical fiction scene.

Piece Regarding Books A Silent Ocean Away: Colette's Dominion (Colette Trilogy #1)

I can't. It's just too painful. The plot itself isn't terrible (albeit on the slow side), but the writing -- NO. Descriptions are bland, conversation is stilted, scenes wander aimlessly with a never-ending parade of 'As you know, Bob' infodumps, & the dialogue tags are equivalent to cruel & unusual punishment with an icepick. Each ridiculously overdone and/or unnecessary string of adverb flogging made me twitch. There's a reason said has been beloved for centuries of fiction, but the

I highly recommended this trilogy (A Silent Ocean Away is the first of three) for lovers of Historical Romances. It has all the elements to sweep you away: one brother, Paul, is a handsome, lusty rogue, and the other brother, John Duvoisin is a tormented, snarky anti-hero. (I have a big soft spot for the tormented, snarky, anti-hero types which might be why I gave this 5 stars. Hmmm.) Torn between the two is the innocent governess, Charmaine Ryan. The Duvoisin family's past of love, hatred, and

I love the setting of this book, I'd like to be there right now! It's an enjoyable escape read, a little fluffy but clean. It ends abruptly and I'm trying to decide if I want to finish the series...We read it for book club.

I might have liked the ending better if I'd realized it was the first book of a trilogy. Somehow, not knowing that, I was expecting something more conclusive. The second book was supposedly published this month. Wonder how long the library will take to get it... Good story if you like complicated family drama from the 1800s on a Caribbean island.

LOved this book, unfortunately the sequel is no where to be found.

I was surprised with how good this book was. I'm currently on my quest to find the next two in the trilogy at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this for anyone who's a fan of historical fiction/romance. I didn't realize I liked the romance genre until today!

The moment I finished this book, I downloaded the 2nd in the trilogy "Decision & Destiny". I enjoyed the story of the entrance of Charmaine Ryan into the Duvoisin household & her life as it becomes entangled in the characters & their emotional & turbulent history. A wonderfully researched & written saga of a family of great wealth & status but still subject to the mistakes & heartaches of all mortals. But don't read the first book if you're not planning to commit to
