I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This is the second book in the MacDonald trilogy; London Tides by Carla Laureano. In the first book, Five Days in Skye, we met James and Andrea. This book is about James' brother, Ian, and his missing fiancee, Grace. Grace is a war photographer and has returned to London after the death of her photography assistant. Thisis an amazing story of overcoming PTSD and internal struggles all by the grace of God.
After reading the first book I had extremely high expectations for Ian and Grace's story. Carla Laureano has a unique way of storytelling; she shows us Iinstead of telling us. The characters are well formed told from the third person point of view. You feel Grace's pain and suffering throughout.
The story flows well and has some surprising twists. I couldnt put this book down.
Ian's mother refuses to accept Grace back into his life and says that if he decides to marry Grace that she will not be attending the wedding.
I would recommend this book either as a stand alone or as a second book. 4.5 out of 5 stars since I was confused as to some characters at the very beginning.
From the back cover:
Irish photojournalist Grace Brennan travels the world’s war zones documenting the helpless and forgotten. After the death of her friend and colleague, Grace is shaken.
She returns to London hoping to rekindle the spark with the only man she ever loved—Scottish businessman Ian MacDonald. But he gave up his championship rowing career and dreams of Olympic gold years ago for Grace ... only for her to choose career over him. Will life’s tides bring them back together ... or tear them apart for good this time?
