To the Sea by Deirdre Riordan Hall

Genres: NA Contemporary Romance

Description:

Fresh out of college and newly married, twenty-something Kira plans the perfect future with a house in the suburbs, ski getaways, and fancy dinners. When her husband Jeremy dies in a car accident, loss casts her adrift, but her heart cracks wide open when she uncovers the secrets he left behind.
Despite her dislike for the ocean with the whipping wind and itchy sand, Kira seeks solace in salt: tears, sweat, and the sea, helping her move beyond the myth of perfection, and guiding her toward the truth of who she really is.
She takes surf lessons to overcome her fear of the water and her well of grief. In the local surf scene, she meets sultry Jamie, with a hot Australian accent. He’s eager to spend time with her, but mostly between the sheets. Then there’s soulful Ian, her surf instructor, who helps her get on her feet and ride the waves.
During a transformative trip to South Africa on surfari, she learns the best way to be loved, yet when she returns to the shores of New England, grief continues to haunt her. She must let go, but how? Torn between the tides, Kira discovers strength and courage, navigates loss, lust, and love, taking readers along for the plunge.

Hi Elaine- I'm not sure why this is, but I received this note when I tried to gift your kindle copy:

"@kindle.com addresses cannot currently be used for notification"

Is there another email that is connected to your kindle. Seems strange, but???

You can do pdf instead to:

Mobi/Kindle to jaynarie@yahoo.com please!

Oops I just realised I said epub instead of kindle. Sorry its a habit

I have three left! The only problem is, Amazon won't take the @kindle.com address. That's strange, but it happened once before. I can send you a mobi file (Kindle) or I welcome you to give me a different email. Thanks!

Here's my review! I'm about to post the same one to Amazon.
Thank you, Deirdre for letting me read/review your book!

Here's my review. I put the same one on Amazon. Thanks for sending it to me.

My review is up here at ÀÏ»¢»úÎÈÓ®·½·¨, as well as at Amazon and Barnes & Noble:

This is a really good book. It has three parts. In the first part, you get to know what a pig her now-dead husband is (and his best friend is too!). Kira is a weak woman during this time. She has become a doormat. Part two has appropriate choices and growth for the timing in Kira's life. Things are looking up with the additions of both Ian and Jamie in her life. She begins to surf. The descriptions involving the surfari make me jealous. Part three makes the entire book worthwhile as her growth as a woman is wonderful. She has a new, solid relationship based on honesty and respect. Surfing has become a central part of her life. Several minor characters are great. Nicole, her best friend, is so supportive and awesome throughout the entire book. Alice, from work, becomes a really good coworker and friend. Winter, her sister, is supportive and becomes more important later in the book.

ARC provided in exchange for honest review.
