Book Review: THE OCEAN BETWEEN US by Delisa Lynn

════════ BOOK REVIEW ════════
★★★ THE OCEAN BETWEEN US by Delisa Lynn ★★★
Publisher: Limitless Publishing
Release Date: March 15, 2016
★★★★ SYNOPSIS ★★★★
Masters Sweet Baked Goods—the best bakery in Benton Creek.

Run by Hendlee Masters and her grandmother, Masters Sweets is the heart and soul of what’s left of Hendlee’s family. Raised by her grandmother after her parents died when she was only five, Hendlee’s poured her time and energy into building her own life in the small town she loves.

Best friends are hard to find—and even harder to keep.

Hendlee didn’t start to notice her feelings for one of her friends—Quaid Castings—until she was in high school. By then it was too late. Unlike her, his plans for the future involved ditching town and enrolling in the Naval Academy.

Just one night with Quaid is all she wants, but when it finally happens, it’s not nearly enough. And he’s leaving in less than twenty-four hours.

The pursuit of happiness often requires leaving someone behind.

Quaid wants more than the country life. Joining the Navy is the best way to explore the world beyond the hills of Kentucky. Except chasing his dream means leaving behind the girl he’s been in love with all his life—Hendlee Masters.

When Quaid chooses a career in the Navy over the love of a small-town girl, will their fates once again align? Or will their love be lost in The Oceans Between Us?

════════ MY BOOK REVIEW ════════

4 / 5 STARS
Lovely, emotion-filled read from Delisa Lynn about miscommunication between two people who have been in love for years. A fun, though slightly predictable read that will tug at your heartstrings.

Sex: Yes. Yes there is.

Language: 72 F-bombs, 42 Sh*t's, 13 bi**ch's, so...there's a lot

Violence: There is a short fight between two guys, but nothing off-putting.

Drugs/Alcohol: Drinking yes, and small mention of the possibility of prescribed drug mis-usage by a grieving friend.

Nudity: Yes.

What I Loved:  I loved that Que and Hendlee both loved each other at a young age, but never really realized it until it was almost too late. I enjoyed watching both characters tumble down the rabbit hole when both thought the other had moved on. Classic case of miscommunication that could have happened to anyone.

Why 4 Stars?  Language was a key factor in the rankings for me. I mention this all the time, I really don't like the F-word and feel it's overused. And for me, 72 times in one book, is over used. The other thing that made me give THE OCEAN BETWEEN US four stars is that I found bits of the story predictable - though I didn't enjoy it any less. I just was able to guess the twists.

Who Would Like This? I think anyone who enjoys reading contemporary new adult romance would enjoy THE OCEAN BETWEEN US. It will tug at your heart and make you sigh a few times - what's not to like about that?

 

Little Things Blog Hop

Hi everyone my name is BK Rivers and I am one of over 100 authors/bloggers/ on
the Little Things Blog Hop! Make sure you visit each stop and enter the posted giveaway and don't forget to enter the main rafflecopter which has a $50 amazon gift card grand prize and tons of other prizes!


For those of you who don’t me, I am the author of Raining Down Rules, a new adult contemporary romance novel. As a writer, it's commonplace to throw out author jargon, so in case you're not sure what new adult is, let me sum it up for you.

New Adult is a fairly new classification for novels (like young adult or women's fiction), and typically the main character(s) are between the ages of 18 and 26 who are attending college, or maybe working their first real job or possibly just living on their own for the first time. These characters also go through a period of self-discovery and come out at the end of the novel a better and stronger version of who they were at the beginning of the book.


I'm going to jump right in to the giveaway for my stop on the Blog Hop.

I am offering 2 copies of Raining Down Rules to the winner, 1 for you and 1 for your friend! Here's a little about my book:

Jemma Bowers hasn’t kissed anyone in over a thousand days. She knows—she’s counted.

For twenty-year-old Jemma, rules are not meant to be broken…even if she’s the one who created them. Friendships have boundaries, relationships mean trouble, and don’t even get her started on sex. Haunted by the death of her mother and her father’s abandonment, Jemma finds herself hungry for something meaningful and permanent, but is afraid of what may happen if she pursues it.

Jordan Capshaw can’t fight his addiction. Not even if it will cost him his career…

When Jemma finds Jordan drunk and barefoot in the street, she convinces him to get in her car. Aside from the fact he’s the lead singer of her favorite band and pretty much the rock star of her dreams, she quickly realizes his addiction is a monster neither of them can control.

Who knew choosing between a rock star and a fireman could be so difficult?

Emotions run high as Jemma soon finds herself caught between the troubled rock star and her growing affections for Vic Harper, a swoon-worthy firefighter from her past. But when her grandmother passes away, leaving her with no other family, Jemma’s world falls apart.

To save herself from further heartbreak, she risks it all by breaking her own rules, and putting her heart on the line.

After all, the heart just might be the biggest rule breaker of them all.
