A Distant Shore by Karen Kingsbury

 

Karen Kingsbury returns to the subject of human trafficking for the second time. Her first book on the subject was Divine which I highly recommend. I love A Distant Shore. The story demonstrates how God protects us even in the worst environments. I loved Jack and Eliza. They felt very real to me. The plot was engaging and fast-paced. The subject matter was difficult but Karen tactfully handled it. I would recommend that teens read this book so that they are aware of the dangers in our world.

So grab your favorite beverage and settle in for a good read.

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley.com with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

“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.
