A Distant Shore is an intense, emotional read with heavy topics, strong characters, and a fast-moving plot. Jack and Eliza’s story is gripping from the start, weaving together past trauma, danger, and an undeniable connection. The high stakes kept me turning pages, and the mix of suspense and romance was well balanced. Eliza’s situation is heartbreaking, but her strength shines through, and Jack’s protective nature makes him an easy hero to root for. If you like stories with action, deep emotion, and a love that defies the odds, this book will keep you hooked until the end.
