A Distant Shore by Karen Kingsbury

 


Who knew Karen Kingsbury could write romantic suspense?


This book is different from the usual fare that the author writes. This one is darker and deals with a heavy subject. Human trafficking is a disturbing topic but the author handled it well.

Eliza had a tragic past. Without giving too much of the story away Eliza lives with her father. She was aware that her father was evil but she was trapped. So far she had been spared but she knew her days were short and that one day her father would sell her out to the highest bidder. Her only comfort is remembering what her godly mother told her about God.

Jack comes to Belize as an FBI agent with an assignment to break up the sex trafficking operation that Eliza's father has set up. He has to gain the trust of Eliza but she does not trust men.

There are many twists in this story that keep it interesting. Readers who enjoy romantic suspense will definitely enjoy this compelling story.

Thanks to netgalley and Atria Books for allowing me to read and preview this book.
