Her Irish luck holds out – the man doesn’t give her away. With the police hot on her trail, she slips aboard the boat and brazenly presents herself as the new wife of a handsome stranger, deep in conversation with another man. She sells patent medicines, and a rival has accused her of killing one of his patients. Thank goodness Brenda Hiatt created the characters of Kent and Della rather than another Jack and Rose, because Ship of Dreams is neither contrived nor artificial – it’s a fine read.ĭella Gilliland is fleeing a false accusation of murder when she stows away on a steamer out of San Francisco harbor. So when I began this book, a romance set aboard another real life doomed sea voyage, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I hope I won’t need my fire extinguisher, but here goes – I found the romance in Titanic to be contrived and artificial.
