"This well-written first novel covers a subject not always portrayed in fiction--romance over 60. Retired Navy nurse Peggy McCoy and retired Admiral Charles Deering may seem made for each other, but romance is often a rocky road, especially after the admiral almost runs down the feisty former commander in her sailboat while guest-conducting a test run for one of the Navy's new cruisers. This is great summer reading: the colorful Maine setting with its rugged coastline, sailboating, and tourists is palpably alive. The obstacles to the romance are believable and often fun, e.g., when the town masterminds a sailboat race with Peggy and the admiral as sole competitors. It's woman against man against the sea as the flotsam of the past is jettisoned for the promise of the future."--Library Journal.
