Titanic: A Love Story
by Shannon O'Cork
Review by: Corey Ann
Rating: R
Titanic: A Love Story is an intricate tale woven around numerous passengers in
first class. The first family that this story touches is the Lockholm family,
whom consists of Swan and Smoke, two fifteen year old twins, and their nanny
Mrs. Twiggs. Bayard and Audrey are their parents. Also along on this trip
is Burt and Victoria VanVoorst, whom are expecting their first child. And
finally, Lady Nicola Pomeroy, and Dove, her mother, whom Captain Smith has
taken a fancy to.
The twins, Smoke and Swan may be strikingly alike on the outside, but on the
inside they are as different as two girls could be. Swan has finally met her
penpal Danny, whom is a violinist on board the Titanic. They begin to have a
love affair, which Smoke disdains. Secretly, Smoke desires Danny as well,
even if he is below their class. Who will get Danny first? Who will leave
the ship as the virgin?
Smoke and Swan's governess is Mrs. Twiggs, whom really isn't a Mrs. She has
taken the name for dignity's sake. She cares for Swan and Smoke dearly,
perhaps more than their mother has. She has raised them from when they were
babes. Secretly she fancies Col. Gracie. She also holds a great disrespect
for the Mr. and Mrs. for their lack of help in rasing their daughters. Will
Mrs. Twigg leave the twins after an episode with Swan that leaves Mrs. Twigg
flabbergasted?
Audrey Lockholm is obsessed with her husband, and will do anything to protect
him. In a weak moment, Audrey sought out a psychic, and the psychic
forwarned Bay's death. She warned her of a woman with red hair, and of
an ivory moon. Audrey is obsessed with this, and will do anything to stop
it, even if it means paying for his soul...
Bayard Lockholm is obsessed with his work, and his wife. He is a co-owner of
the IMM with JP Morgan, and is on board to make sure that Titanic's first
trip is a smooth one, and to also watch over Bruce Ismay, whom has came off
as a bit untrustworthy. Will his money be his key to survival?
Burt VanVoorst is not a handsome man, but he is a wealthy man, and he has a
wife that adores him. When Burt finds out a deep dark secret about his wife,
will he be strong enough to go on?
Victoria VanVoorst has a dark secret that few know. One of those few are on
board the Titanic, and he is willing to spill the beans about her sordid
past. She has kept a blue vial of cyanide close by since she married Burt,
will she use it once Burt finds out her secret? Will the baby survive?
Lady Nicola Pomeroy is a widow traveling back to her homeland with her
Mother, Dove. Leaving her life, and memories of her husband's tragic demise
behind, or so she hoped. Someone from that past tries to meet again, and
bring back all the painful feelings once again of a night she wished she
could forget. Will he win? Or will Nicola come out on top?
Dove is a dove, and a heavenly creature for all to behold. Enchanted by her
beauty, Captain E.J. Smith falls for Dove, and Dove falls for him. Will E. J.
Smith leave his wife to begin anew with Dove? Or will Dove lose to the old
and comfortable?
To find out the whole story I recommend reading this gripping tale on board
of the Titanic. Any Titanic enthusiast should enjoy this read, which is an
easy one!
