Love conquers all?
Maybe for some people.
When Samantha flies to Italy to gain distance from a disastrous affair with her childhood best friend, the last thing on her mind is romance. But Teo Anderson is nothing like her philandering ex-husband or her sailing buddy, Jack, who, despite his live-in girlfriend, caught her off guard with his flashing black eyes.
Teo has his own scars, both physical … own scars, both physical and emotional, that he represses by writing mysteries—until one strange and compelling vision comes to life in the person of Sam. Seeking answers, he offers friendship to this obviously hurting woman, a friendship that threatens to upend his fragile peace of mind.
But not even sailing the cobalt waters of the Mediterranean can assuage Sam’s guilt for destroying Jack’s relationship and hurting another woman. Soon the consequences of her behavior escalate, and the fallout threatens them all.
Sailing out of Darkness is the haunting story of mistakes and loss…and the grace that abounds through forgiveness.

I enjoyed this book. It was well crafted and the story, while not an original theme, was very compelling to anyone who has ever had a person who will not let go. There were some minor twists that I liked and I liked that it was not full of profane language.
Samantha resigned herself to simple pleasures, well kind of. She opened her successful coffee shops, has a great sail boat, and friends, but her children are adults and her recent affair went awry leaving her scandalized and needing a break. She flees to Italy where her daughter is going to school. Perhaps in Italy dreams do come true. Worth the great to take a chance on romance.
Inner turmoil of main character was good, settings unrealistic
just couldn’t get into it.
The story about dealing with the guilt of the past and the love in the present makes it an enjoyable read. I recommend this book.
Terrible – good lyrical writing, but lyrical writing is no good , if writer can’t make you care about the characters, or be interested in the plot….
The female character’s drama just kept going on and on and on. Other than that I enjoyed the setting and the story.
