Gripping, enthralling and unputdownable, Dangerous Waters is historical romance at its absolute best! - Julie Bonello, SingleTitles.com
Britain 1812 With her guardian planning to remarry, 20-year-old Phoebe Dymond finds she is no longer welcome in his Falmouth home and is soon hustled aboard the packet ship Providence bound for Jamaica and an arranged marriage.
A skilled herbalist and midwife, Phoebe clashes with ship's surgeon, Jowan Crossley. But their professional antagonism evolves into mutual respect and a deepening attraction neither dare acknowledge.
Following a skirmish with a French privateer, Providence is robbed of crew by a Royal Navy frigate and arrives to find the island facing a slave revolt and Kingston flooded with French refugees.
Escorted by Jowan to the plantation of which she will be mistress, terrifying events force Phoebe to relinquish all hope of the happiness she has glimpsed. But her journey is not yet over…
Dangerous Waters edition by Jane Jackson Romance eBooks
"Dangerous Waters" is first of all an adventure and secondly a romance. In some ways I found this book quite similar to "Tide Of Fortune" (another book by Jane Jackson). In both books a young woman travels on a ship, butts heads with a male on the ship (and yet over the course of time falls in love with him) and then halfway through the book the ship lands on an island (previously Tangier and in this story Jamaica) where the stories take very different turns (both in plot and in setting) and here is where the stories really take off.In this tale, the heroine travels to Jamaica to meet her fiance by arrangement; the son of a wealthy sugar plantation owner. Unbeknownst to her, he is vilely amoral and cruel. The island is a hotbed of upheaval and revolt and his plantation is no exception; the situation rapidly escalates to a terrifying climax.
The romance was slow and with a fair amount of tension. I wish the H/H could have come to an understanding sooner but the ending is not to be missed; it's PERFECT!
There is no sex in this book and minimal cussing. (moderate if your British and count "the 3 B's")
While the reader is not an onlooker to violence, violent events are mentioned. (Remember we're talking about cruelty resulting in slave revolt) so keep that in mind. Also the H/H are in the medical field so medical procedures (and some blood) are involved in the story (mainly amputations and childbirth). There is also mention of young girls bearing the children of their white "owners". In no way is this glorified and there are consequences for such acts but it's good to be aware of. I would rate this book PG13 for thematic elements.
On a side note there are a fair few editing mistakes in the ebook that need to be rectified as it causes some back reading to figure out. Some people get really annoyed with this. I don't pay it much mind if I'm enjoying the story (which I was) but I thought I'd mention it as the reading of the book would be much smoother with a just a bit more proofreading.
Jane Jackson's book "Eye Of The Wind" is still my favorite but this story is a solid 4 stars. I enjoyed it and I'm sure my 15 year old daughter will too.

Dangerous Waters edition by Jane Jackson Romance eBooks Reviews
Dangerous Waters by Jane Jackson is quite good. It is richly detailed and not completely predictable. I recommend it to any historical romance fan.
Well written, well documented book with a decent plot and believable characters. The author has obviously done a lot of research on the time period she placed her characters in.
I thorougly enjoyed reading it.
I don't know much about the time period or countries in this book,so I can't speak to the accuracy of the facts. However, I enjoyed the storytelling and the development of the characters, even the less important characters. The author managed to pull you completely into the story and made you really feel for the characters, both positively and negatively. I found it a very enjoyable read!
Great fun as another young woman with grit, determination, and the ability to grow in the most trying of circumstances. From the horrors of sea-sickness to a love of all things nautical; from the sheltered arms of her midwife mother to a ship full of increasingly horny seamen; from. . .well, you get the picture. And her fellow protagonist, the "REAL'" Dr., as he considers himself, grows marvelously as a real pain in the uptight arse to being her friend and - -well, I can't tell you the whole story. Read and enjoy!
I liked this book but did not love it. Kudos to the author for accurately representing the unsanitary and unhealthy conditions of the time, an area generally ignored in historical romances. Making the heroine an herbalist addressed some of the issues of which most people were ignorant, and was educational as well for today.
For the most part, I enjoyed this book. Phoebe is a very believable character and I found myself sympathetic to her situation in life. Dr. Jowan Crossly was a bit of a grumpy hero, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
The reason I couldn't give this five stars is because I wasn't convinced on the romance between Phoebe and Jowan. The only conversations they have are sharp arguments and by the end I wondered that they managed to fall in love at all.
Not a bad way to spend a fall morning with a cup of tea.
This one was a surprisingly satisfying read. The novel tells the story of Phoebe Dymond, a woman sent to Jamaica to marry a man she has never met and Jowan Crossley, a surgeon on his first voyage aboard a packet ship.
It is obvious that the author has done a lot of background research about life at sea and the situation in the Caribbean in the early 19th century. I was previously unaware of the slave revolts in the Caribbean or the existence of the Packet Service. The scenes involving medical procedures were quite detailed and not for the squeamish. This is definitely a historical romance with emphasis on the historical.
One thing that struck me was how reserved the hero and heroine were. I suppose that is how people would have behaved in that era but the 21st century romance fan in me wished for a little more in that department. Regardless, the two leads were well matched, even though they insisted on denying their feelings for each other.
Recommended for readers who appreciate a realistic approach to historical romance.
