Publisher's Summary:
Can a love shattered by the sands of time...rise beyond the waves?
Taysia Green nearly chokes on her water when Officer Kylen Sumner shows up in her office claiming he's back in town because he loves her. Since he's broken her heart more than once, and she recently started dating youth pastor Blaine Pittman, she wants absolutely nothing to do with Kylen. But he's been asked to stand in as the mediator between Taysia and wannabe model Sophia Clinesmith, who twisted her ankle in the parking lot of Taysia's business and is threatening a lawsuit.
If she didn't need him to help save her gym, Taysia would tell Kylen to take a long midnight walk on a short cliffside trail.
She's perfectly happy with her life just the way it is.
So why is it that just the sight of Kylen Sumner sets her traitorous heart to dancing faster than it did the time Blaine kissed her?
Members Reviews:
A sweet story about second chances
Would you listen to Beyond the Waves again? Why?
Yes. It was a very enjoyable story and the narrator did a very good job of pulling you into the story and keeping you interested. It's also handy to be able to listen to a book if you need to get things done.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I really liked Kylen. I enjoyed how he wooed Taysia. It was so sweet. He just came across as a really nice guy.
Which scene was your favorite?
I loved all the gifts Ky gave Taysia. She tried to play it down but she found herself rushing home each day to see what he left for her. It was a lot of fun.
Any additional comments?
The story is sweet, the narration is great and I definitely recommend it.
Will forgiveness lead to love...?
Beyond The Waves is a sweet, lovely romance set on the Pacific coast. Taysia and Kylen are two very flawed characters who have made some big mistakes in the past but with faith in God are trying to put the past behind and make something of the future. The question is can they find forgiveness and make a future together? Lynnette Bonner is a talented author who can write both historical and contemporary romances equally as well.
I listened to the Audible edition of this book and really enjoyed it. The narration was good, the voice drawing me further and further into the story. I kept finding every excuse to sneak back to my Kindle and listen for awhile. An overall enjoyable listen.
(I received this audiobook from the author in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.)
A nice, clean story that I enjoyed quite a bit!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to a friend because it was engaging from the beginning, and had storyline elements that appealed to me, as a woman -- pregnancy (former Lamaze teacher here), falling in love, tension having to do with dating, past betrayals and looking to heal those hurts and move on.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Beyond the Waves?
I really enjoyed the part in the book (no spoilers, going to be vague here) where one of the side characters was poised to make a really difficult and possibly damaging decision, and I was glad to see how the author worked that problem out with a realistic solution for all involved.
