A beautiful story that made me want to go to the Whitsundays. Everything was described with such magic.
I loved the main character Liv- her strength and her convictions.
I found the romance of Liliana and Jack really captivating.
I got a little teary eyed at the end. Lovely!
Set in the beautiful Whitsunday Islands of Queensland, this dual time line story builds from a love story set in WW2 to the present day community fighting against a giant mining development to protect the reef. With two love stories in a stunning setting, this story kept me up late. Keep the tissues handy!
Where do I start? This is an amazing story there were tears of joy and happiness as we journey with two couples one back in 1942 during World War 11 and one in the present, the setting for both is the beautiful Whitsunday’s and the need to save the reef, this brings together Olivia Sheridan and the gorgeous Fynn James on a rollercoaster ride of danger and love, clear the decks because you will not want to put this one down once you pick it up.
Olivia Sheridan works for her father’s company and has arrived in the beautiful Whitsundays to present the proposal for the company’s plans for coal mining in the area, but this brings her to a chance meeting with local, Aunty Tat who is convinced that Olivia is someone else, and here she meets fisherman Fynn James who turns out to be her saviour the man that she will fall in love with, but not before there is danger thrown their way as they uncover corruption at its highest levels, Oliva does know that her father is very ruthless in business, but what she finds out after the wrong file is sent to her, knocks the wind out of her sails, and Fynn is there to help.
There are so many fabulous characters in this story, as we discover the story behind Aunty Tat’s missing sister who vanished during the Second World War, it is heart-felt and so very moving as we get a glimpse of how people lived in The Whitsundays years earlier and the struggles for people in love during the war.
This one had me tuning the pages, I savoured every word, going from the past to the future was an amazing journey that I felt so much a part of, as I said there were tears for Lili and Jack, as they found love during tough times and Fyn and Olivia, edge of your seat danger and joy and happiness and then Aunty Tat what a lady I am sure you will love her as I did. I can’t recommend this book enough it is a must read, so very well written and shows also how much we should be protecting that reef for the future. Thank you MS Seaton for another marvellous story, this is one that will not be forgotten.
I’m really enjoying Aussie Annie Seaton’s “eco-adventure romance” series – all set in remarkable natural locations with lots of fascinating detail – very informative, but deftly done, so the detail doesn’t bog down the story but provides a great sense of place. Kakadu Sunset, Daintree Country and Diamond Sky are others in the series. Hear her talk about her Outback travels at https://thejoysofbingereading.com/annie-seaton-eco-adventure-romance/
This was one of those books that I got comfortable with and climbed into. What a journey it took me on, present day issues, greed and powerful companies that need taking down. There was a mystery from the Days of WW2 that intertwined in this tale. I don’t often like books that skip back and forth but the author wrote it seamlessly. Both eras had interesting stories and I couldn’t wait until they connected, you know that you know..but you’re not sure how. Family secrets that needed to come to light, you start gripping your kindle…yes but oh how sad. I was in tears by the end. Just wonderful Annie, you wove a magical tale in a beautiful part of our Country.
