Maggie Dalton was forced to uproot her entire life to protect herself and her son. Just when she thinks she’s outrun her past, she’ll have to face her fears in this emotional and suspenseful novel by the bestselling author of Wish Me Home.
After a year on the move, single mom Maggie Dalton has found a safe haven with her son in Maui. It’s the perfect spot to settle down now that her relentless … now that her relentless stalker is finally behind bars. Maggie finds a new job and a new life thanks to some help from her best friend, Quinn, who urged her to come start over in paradise. But when signals suggest her stalker is back, Maggie realizes Maui might not be the safe oasis she thought.
Quinn knows all about facing the past. Tenuously reunited with her biological family after thirty years, she’s still coming to terms with her childhood—along with guilt, secrets, and mysteries yet to be resolved. And just as she’s starting to figure out where she fits in with her family, a name from the past threatens them all.
With that fear comes a choice for both women: abandon the lives they’ve been building on Maui, or find the courage to finally stop running and fight for the happiness they deserve.

Romance, mystery, and adventure while transporting me to a beautiful place I had never had as a “must go to” location to visit until reading this and the first of the series, True to Me. I also love that I never have to worry about what my girls might see if they should pick it up and start reading. With this, Kay Bratt adds to her collection of “start reading and don’t stop until you’re done” books!
I knew I was right to wait until the weekend to start this book because I was able to read it in one sitting without adulting getting in the way. Kay Bratt has a great way with words and getting the story to unravel as we follow the two friends Quinn and Maggie build their new life in Maui. Things are not always sunshine and rainbows even in a place as beautiful as this and they both have to face what they fear the worst and that could lead to losing what they love the most. I enjoyed very much reading this book and especially loved the unpredictable happy ending.
I absolutely loved No Place too far! Beautiful descriptions of Maui along with being a page turner as we read about the drama surrounding Maggie and the continued family and personal relationships of Quinn. If you read True to Me you must read this one. If not you will want to read both.
The story line of this book is engaging and quick. It will draw you in and keep your attention until the end. I liked the references to the previous book but it certainly stands alone also.
Not only are the scenes breathtaking but Quinn and Maggie’s story is told with such grace , I like that any reader who reads this will feel part of a whole collective, rather they have been through and /or still going through any type of abuse rather mental, physical, emotional or mental., they will feel a sense of freedom. This book gives the reader the ability to realize ,its ok to be scared , its ok to leave ,its ok to BREAK FREE!! life changing for many , story of true hope and triumph..
Great book. Loved the setting in Hawaii. I have been to Maui before and I could picture the characters of the book in this setting. It kept me on toes and I couldn’t put it down as I waited to see what was going to happen next. It even carried a surprise or two. Can’t wait for the next one.
Can a story be both sweet and yet full of suspense and fear? This is exactly what Kay Bratt has done in this amazing novel that I devoured in one day!
As I happily returned to Hawaii to see best friends Maggie and Quinn once again, I realized that there were some “skeletons in both closets” that created anxiety and panic for these ladies.
Sometimes, you just cannot outrun your secrets and fears until you confront them head on. Something these bestie’s must realize to find happiness and safety in their lives as well as their families!
However… will they?
It is truly a heartwarming, suspenseful, love story that had me on the edge of my chair at times and at other times, just truly feeling emotional!
Excellent!
No Place too Far by Kay Bratt
I finished reading at 2am I could not put this book down. No Place too Far was my 2nd book by Kay Bratt, and I am so glad to have found this really great Author. I fell in love with the characters, Maggie and Quinn each had their own obstacles to overcome. A lost childhood and a stalker very intense. The location was amazing Maui is on my list of places to visit. I am ready for the next book in this series. A must read.
This book was so good! It immediately grabs your attention and pulls you into Quinn and Maggie’s story. It was the perfect amount of romance mixed with family drama.
I loved it! Can’t wait for her next one! Thanks to Netgalley and the author for the early copy
I was so looking forward to my return trip to beautiful Hawaii to see Quinn and Maggie who are best friends, not realizing I would discover the hidden skeletons in their closets.
Maggie has moved to Maui with her adorable son Charlie. Looking for a new start in building her new life.
A book that drew me in from the start, with suspense, fear, danger, anxiety and romance.
I really enjoyed the story and could not put it down. As well as the beautiful scenery and finding out some legends, and history.
I highly recommend this book.
Thank you NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for the opportunity to read this book.
No Place too Far is a story I simply could not put down. In book two of the By the Sea series we get to check in on Quinn and get to know Maggie.
Maggie is looking for a fresh start and being near her best friend Quinn in beautiful Maui seemed like the best place to build her new life. Her precocious son, Charlie is everything to Maggie and she works hard to make a good life for them. When a danger from her past emerges, Maggie isn’t sure where to turn.
Meanwhile, Quinn is settling into her new family dynamic when an uncomfortable situation arises her first thought is to protect the family that has already endured so much heartache.
I love how Kay Bratt writes true friendships like Maggie and Quinn and Maggie’s new coworker who becomes a fast friend. Bratt explores themes all women wrestle with from anxiety to guilt and forgiveness all while delivering a story that keeps the reader turning the pages as fast as she can. This is a must read! Thank you to the author and NetGalley for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
