Book Review: Troubled Waters, by Susan May Warren

From the back cover:

Billionaire Ian Shaw can have everything he wants–except a happy ending. Or at least that’s what it feels like with his fortune recently liquidated, his niece, Esme, still missing, and the woman he loves refusing to speak to him. In fact, he doubts she would date him even if they were stranded on a deserted island.

Despite her love for Ian, Sierra Rose knows he has no room in his life for her as long as the mystery of his missing niece goes unsolved. The only problem is, Sierra has solved it, but a promise to Esme to keep her whereabouts secret has made it impossible to be around Ian.

When the PEAK chopper is damaged and Sierra lacks the funds to repair it, Ian offers a fundraising junket for large donors on his yacht in the Caribbean. But the three-day excursion turns into a nightmare when a rogue wave cripples the yacht and sends the passengers overboard. Shaken up and soaked to the bone, Ian finally has a chance to test his theory when he and Sierra do indeed find themselves washed up on a strange, empty shore.

It will take guts and gumption for the PEAK team to rescue the duo. But it will take a miracle to rescue Ian and Sierra’s relationship.

My thoughts: This book is quite interesting. Susan May Warren is a talented author. The story certainly was gripping and I really didn’t want to put the book down. However… There were quite a few things I didn’t care for. 1. There was too much backstory. I felt that too much had happened to the characters in previous books, and not having read them, I was a little lost. 2. Too many characters. I thought the book was supposed to be about Ian and Sierra, but there were numerous other characters with very deep problems and situations that were resolved, or not… 3. This story was so unrealistic. Okay, it is fiction and it doesn’t necessarily have to be realistic, but really? Almost drowning, being stranded on a deserted island (twice), surviving a hurricane…sorry if this is a bit of a spoiler. Overall, it wasn’t a bad book. I think it deserves 3 stars out of 5. Revell provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Advertisements Share this:
