A Distant Shore, book #21

 


My mother in law was kind enough to let me borrow this so I wanted to read it before I started our next book club book.  When I first started it I did not like it at all, the story was just so sad.  But it was more like a flashback ~ you had to understand what happened to see where they were in modern times.

I feel like the description on the back did not truly define what the book was about, so I felt disappointed and confused.  In the end, it was a good book, just that it all wrapped up in a pretty little bow, almost too perfect.

She was a child caught in a riptide in the Caribbean Sea. He was a teenager from the East Coast on vacation with his family. He dove in to save her, and that single terrifying moment changed both their lives forever.  Ten years later Jack Ryder is a daring secret agent with the FBI and Eliza Lawrence still lives on that pristine island. She’s an untainted princess in a kingdom of darkness and evil, on the brink of a forced marriage with a dangerous neighboring drug lord, a marriage arranged by her father.  This time when Jack and Eliza meet, there’s a connection neither of them can explain. Both their lives are on the line, and once again, the stakes are deadly high. Can they join forces in a complicated and dangerous mission, pretending to have a breathtaking love…without really falling?  Sometimes miracles happen not once, but twice…along a distant shore.  (picture and description from Amazon)

So excited to get started on our new book club book!!


Keep Reading!
