Friday Harbor, a picturesque small town in the Pacific Northwest, and a haven for fishermen and yachtsmen. For Skye Dunbar, it is a place where she can overcome the pain of a broken heart and put her life back together. Renting a cabin by the shore, the last thing she expects is to be accused of computer hacking. Jedediah Walker is investigating the dead marine life washed up on the island’s beaches. When he discovers the fish contain a high concentration of toxic chemicals, he suspects someone is deliberately dumping them in Puget Sound. Swift to jump to conclusions, he suspects the auburn-haired woman renting his cabin is somehow involved. Skye tries to ignore him, but necessity throws them together as they struggle to find those responsible for the environmental atrocity.

Review
Victoria Howard has written a fascinating romantic novel set in Washington State's San Juan Islands. Despite a former, disastrous love affair with a US naval officer, London-based Skye Dunbar decides to rent a cabin on one of the islands in an attempt to face her inner demons and lay the past to rest. But she doesn't bargain on meeting Jedediah Walker, a marine biologist, who reawakens feelings she had thought she would never experience again. From the first time they meet, it is hate at first sight, undermined by the sizzling chemistry that neither Walker nor Skye can suppress. The intense physical attraction felt by the feuding couple is not the only chemical reaction occurring on the island. Dead fish with high levels of toxic chemicals are turning up on the island's beaches. Walker's computer contains important data about the rising level of chemicals in and around the bay. When a hacker breaks into the computer, he suspects that Skye might be involved, especially when he finds out that she is a computer software designer. Their relationship worsens considerably, exacerbated by the arrival on the island of Skye's business partner John Ridge, who has been in love with Skye since the first day they met. Eventually, Skye is forced to make a choice between the two men. But whom will she choose? "Three Weeks Last Spring" is an absorbing story that will be loved by all romantic novel readers. --Shelagh Watkins

How did this drivel get published?
By Aunt Peggy
Dreadful.
I purchased this book because the setting and the premise sounded promising.
I disliked it nearly from the beginning, but kept reading, just to see if it would improve at all. It did not.
The characters are all one-dimensional. The heroine is shallow and whiny, and I cannot imagine her in the role of co-owner of an internationally respected computer software firm at all. The hero is such a bully, and flip flops between lusting after the heroine and brutalizing her so often and quickly that he reads as insane.
What is it about British authors that they are so fascinated by domineering men who verbally and physically abuse their women? Most of us left this horrible world behind back in the 1960s, and it's not even interesting as a fantasy story. This hero is coming off as a Neanderthal much of the time.
And, like at least one other reviewer, I'm completely offended by the author's statements about American women (and why we have trouble with relationships, apparently). What an incredible insult to an entire nation of women.
In some ways, this reads as someone's early draft of the novel with no details and little dialogue filled in. Too many times I would realize that I'd read 3 or 4 pages that had been composed entirely of stage directions. "He did this. Then he did that. He thought this. He realized that. He left. She picked up the phone. She did something else. She wondered about something. She went to sleep. Four days later, she wondered if he would ever call." Dull, dull, dull......
In addition, when there IS dialogue involved, the author can't seem to decide whether her characters are using American or British English, and their voices are all over the map. And while, perhaps her British characters sound normal for 1999 (I spent a LOT of time in London in the late 90's, and I don't think so, but I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt.) when her American characters speak they seem to be using terminology and slang that came out of 1940s films. Who doesn't use contractions these days? Who uses the word 'stevedore' twice in one paragraph? UGH!!!!!!! The dialogue was just abysmal!!!!!!!!
There are plenty of inconsistencies and jolts in the basic storytelling as well. How did the heroine go off to take a hot shower when her rented cabin was still without electricity following the storm? And more than once, the author would skip over hours, or even days, without any warning to the reader (I think that this a mostly a Kindle formatting problem, but it was completely disconcerting).
This book is in serious need of professional editing and formatting. In the first 20% of the book I found several grammatical errors, including 'where' when she wanted to use 'were', and 'its' for 'it's'. My lord, even your average word processing program should pick those up, these days. Was this written on a Selectric?
I have nothing good to say about this book, except that I've finished it. (Okay, not really, but I've finally quit torturing myself by reading it.)

Annoying waste of time
By lizzy
Plot concept sounded interesting, but ended up unbelievable. Any company with the type of contracts that Walker's environmental company had would be required to have redundant data security measures and backups.
But why did Skye have to go to the San Juan Islands to get away; that was never explained. And why was she just so rude to Walker initially; did she think she rented the whole island?
Shallow and twisted interpretation of love. Users and abusers. Sex scene gratuitous.
Unbelievable characters; Skye as written could only be successful due to her nurturing, loving, mentoring business partner. She does not treat him well.
By the end, I did not like or respect either of the main characters, so maybe they deserved each other.
Poor editing throughout was so annoying, that I would have requested a refund if it hadn't been free.
