Synopsis:

I must keep it locked away—the memory of my darkest secret….

When the rising tides of my life peak, I’m left struggling with the currents of the storm. The first dilemma is my dad’s gambling debt. Mama bounces back quickly from the ramifications it causes. She proves this by getting a new man. Her Rico Suave is just the tip of the iceberg—she moves us across state to live with him and his two sons. My outgoing, older sister fits right in—she’s the total opposite of me. I am Madison Guillory, the shy, quiet type. Taught to make the best of even the worst situations, I contemplate giving my new family a chance. Living with my future stepbrothers is interesting, to say the least. They’re like night and day. I have more in common with the laid-back brother, and we become instant friends. I’m adjusting to Taylor High, and the arrogant brother is even starting to grow on me. Maybe everything will work out after all. My life finally seems to be falling into place until a dreadful night shatters my dreams. My world is flipped upside down because of the consequences I must now bear. The memories of that night lurk in the shadows to torment me. If I think of what happened, I’ll succumb to my fear. His face has scorned me. No one will believe me if I confess, not even my own sister. I hold the key to my darkest secret, desperate to keep it locked away.

Exclusive Excerpt:

Vince flashed his panty-melting grin. “And now we also know that the feelings you have for me scare you.” “Rubbish,” I snapped. His eyes danced with humor. “Seriously, Lydon, I’m scared too.” His hands slid along my thighs. “But it’s worth the risk, don’t you think?” I closed my eyes. “We can’t let Charlie know. I don’t want him hurt.” “I’d never hurt Charlie.” I opened my eyes to see his earnest look. “But you might hurt me, and right now that’s the same thing in his little boy heart.” He pressed his hand over mine on my chest. “I don’t want to hurt you, Lydon.” “We don’t go into these things wanting to hurt people. It’s just what happens. It’s a by-product,” I said. My brain flashed to Charlie again. He never knew Chad, so he never experienced that sort of aching loss. His loss was different—more of a sadness around never having a father. If Charlie got close to Vince and lost him… that pain rips through your heart and cuts into your very soul. Was I willing to take that gamble with Charlie’s heart? Because it wasn’t just my own that was exposed. “I can’t, Vince. It’s too risky.” He leaned into me, a hand landing on the mattress by my hip. “Lady Ly, we are halfway there with this reality show. Maybe we should try?” It was tempting. Vince was right. The sex we had was explosive. It was raw. It felt right. But it had also been six years since I last got laid, so I couldn’t exactly trust what I felt. I leaned away from him. “How about we just, you know, scratch the itch every once in a while?” His head cocked. “Go on. I want to hear this.” “I mean, we carry on as normal, faking it for the cameras and such. But if we get the urge to, you know…” I paused. “Have intercourse…” Vince closed his eyes and shook his head. When he opened them again, he pressed his forehead to mine. “So, friends with benefits.” I stared at his full lips and tamped down the urge to kiss him. “We could call it that, I suppose.”

Nate Kade is many things—former sports star, owner of the successful bar Matchbox—and there’s no shortage of women willing to warm his bed for the night either. Everyone around Nate is settling down, but that just isn’t his style. No, he prefers against-the-door activities with a woman he’s just met. But he should probably pay attention to details.

Turns out she’s his business partner and friend’s newfound sister—oops.

Melanie is ten years younger, just discovered she has an overprotective brother, and is new to town. Nate makes it clear that their one night will not be getting a repeat, but she isn’t entirely on board with his policy.

The new Nia is a different person. She’s not afraid to make new friends, show her light-hearted side, and get serious about her job, or at least that’s how she sells herself to the world.

Review for A Distant Shore by Karen Kingsbury

 

A Distant Shore by  Karen Kingsbury 

Kindle Edition, 384 pages

Expected publication: April 27th 2021

Genre:  Fiction, Christian Fiction

 

From Goodreads…“Inspirational fiction superstar” (Publishers Weekly) and #1 New York Times bestselling author of life-changing fiction returns with this high-stakes love story of danger, passion, and faith.

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.

 

My Thoughts…A story of lies, family, and learning to open your hearts.  Eliza has experienced so much loss in her young life, yet she still looks forward to each day and doing what she can to get through each day.   Jack comes into her world, shakes the world she is living in, and saves her.    By saving her, he opens his heart and realizes that even after loss there is a life to live.  

I really enjoyed watching Eliza and Jack both come to life again, learn to open their hearts, and find a way to happiness. The strength that Eliza showed as she had to start her life over was amazing.   The patience that Jack had while helping her adjust to life, not on the island proved what a kind and loving heart he has. 

The religious parts of the book threw me off a little bit.  I am a Christian, but this book did not seem to lead into the religious parts easily and I did not feel like it flowed with the story.   A Distant Shore is my first Karen Kingsbury book, and I did not realize she wrote religious books.
