Story
Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. And how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I'm figuring out which I want more: to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.

The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep. To be fair, she came out of nowhere. I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike. But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate. Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored. She was my icy Cinderella, and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming. Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie. She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape. Neither of us expected to fall. Or for the truth to shatter us.

It started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends. Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn…. Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

I’m a single female who’s tired of relationships ruining my life. However, there are times when a date would be helpful. If you’re a single man, preferably mid-20s to late-30s, and are in a similar situation, we might be a match. Candidate must be handsome, charming, and willing to pretend to have feelings for me (on a sliding scale, as the event requires). Ability to discuss a wide variety of topics is a plus. Must have your own transportation and a (legal) job. In exchange for your time, I will give you mine. If interested, please email me. Time is of the essence.

More poignant than Romeo and Juliet
If I could, I would give this an even higher rating. This touched me on a very deep level. I actually cried. It’s always hard for me to cry, but this book made it impossible not to. It is just that good. More poignant than Romeo and Juliet, this book will have you wanting to listen/read it all at once. A magical tale of love, loss, and healing, Beyond the Rising Tide will have you needing to know what is next, and cheering for Kai and Avery. There are no words to describe how excellent this love story is.

Worth the Credit!
Wow! Just wow! This was such an amazing book! I originally picked it basically because I love Zachary Webber. But both narrations are great! The story is so well written and pulls you in from the beginning and holds you tight until the end! Even though the characters were late teens the emotions and the plot were so intense and felt like my own emotions. Having had a teen love like this and losing them to death. I could relate to this. The HEA was just so good! I’m so glad they got to have one! 10/10, five stars would highly recommend!

Unexpectedly good.
Kai died while saving Avery from drowning and now his spirit continues on, healing people where he is assigned to. During his down time, he watches Avery. In the many months since that day she nearly drowned, her life has been fraying at the edges. She’s obsessed with finding out the identity of the boy who saved her life, only to have his lost and his body never recovered. She feels she can’t move on with her own life until she can locate his family and let them know how his ended. Kai, seeing that her life is not so much of a life anymore, risks much to help her heal her frayed emotions and move on.
This was a very enchanting story that surprised me in several ways. First, I’m not usually one to venture into contemporary romance, but lately I have been dabbling my toes in it. So I was quite surprised to find myself really wishing the two main characters would find a way to have a happy ending, one where love conquers all. Second, I know nothing about surfing and that sport features heavily in this book, but it’s done in such an approachable way. Now, I want surfing lessons. Lastly, YA is not something I seek out. If it happens to be a component of the story, then that’s OK, but it’s not a label that I look for. For this book, the coming of age coupled with young love was perfect for these characters.
The author did an amazing balancing act with this tale. Her writing brings up my own recollections of teenage parties, friendships, anxieties, hopes, and first loves. Yet she never goes overboard with any one component. For instance, there’s just the right touch of teen angst here and there but not so much as to make me think it’s there for drama’s sake alone. Young love plays a critical role in the plot, but, again, it’s not over worked. It was a joy to read these parts instead of being something I felt I had to plow through to get to the real story.
Kai, who technically is an angel (though the word is not lightly used in the story), is a very interesting character, and not just because he’s dead. We don’t learn everything about him upfront. Like Avery, we have to pull one secret after another out of him as the story moves forward. Before his heroic act, he had big dreams, family, a rough past. However, we meet him when those things are no longer in his grasp. Through him we learn about the place in between the Briar and Elysium, where others like him take on assignments to assist those in the mortal world in one way or another. I really liked these parts of the story with all their imagery. Also, there is Charles, Kai’s mentor from real life and his mentor in the afterlife. Charles was key in showing young Kai how to be a good person in life and he continues to give Kai that love and support after death. I think we all need a Charles in our lives.
Now Avery is also an interesting character but in different ways. Her life is more open and her secrets don’t have to be gently teased out of her, at least not for us readers. To some extent, she has been part of the adult world for a few years now. Her mom suffers from mental illness and she’s been working a regular job at her dad’s chocolate store for several years. At this point, she keeps her own schedule so long as one parent or the other knows where she’s at. She’s been a competition surfer for years but since that fateful day where she nearly drowned, she hasn’t been back in the water. Also, her boyfriend Tyler, who she was serious about, broke off their relationship after the accident. Additionally, her parents have separated, though she still sees each weekly. She’s been through trauma and change in short order.
There was a delicious build up to the end. Quite frankly, I wasn’t sure how things would play out, but I had definite ideas about how I wanted things to end (because I cared about these characters). Kai has some serious things he has to do before he can move on to Elysium and Avery has some serious things she has to do before she can move on with her life. I was really hoping to see them end up together somehow, but I wasn’t sure until the very end whether that would be or not. Without giving anything away, it was a very satisfying ending. Indeed, this tale was a weight to it that I didn’t expect to find in a romantic surfer YA story.
The Narration: Quite frankly, when I saw that Punch Audio had a hand in the making of this audiobook, it heavily influenced me to give it a try. I have listened to several Punch Audio productions and they always put forth a quality story. Dana Dae was a great pick for Avery. She sounds like a young lady on the cusp of full adulthood. She did a great job imbuing the characters with emotion without making them sound overly dramatic. Zachary Webber was also great, a really good match for Kai. I loved his voice, being deep enough to evoke images of a man grown. He also did a very good Hispanic accent for old Isadora.

AUDIBLE NARRATORS BRING AN EMOTIONAL BOOK TO LIFE
Was so good on every level from the author's writing to Zach & Dana's narration it bought the book to life! Very emotional listen. It's a paranormal YA book, but recommend for any age who wants more than just high sexual content, it has romance, sadness, funny moments, twists & if you're after something different and yet compelling then this is for you. This is a beautiful after-life love story! Had me guessing all the way right up until the end.. Thank you to the author Sarah Beard for releasing this on audible, It felt as if I was in there with both Kai & Avery in their emotional journey. Loved it so much it kept me awake all night, couldn't put it down!

Sweet YA Romace with a Twist
If you follow my segment here on Highlighted Author, you know that I rarely do Reviews. Between my own writing career, Highlighted Author duties, and marketing, I have to choose my reads wisely. They really need to strike me as a great book to dive into using my limited time. Beyond the Rising Time was one such book...
It's YA paranormal romance that takes us from Kai's heroic death to his sneaky return to Earth as (sorta) human, and to the spirit realm and back. I wrote an extensive review on Audible, but now as I look for it, it's gone. So, I'll sum it up here...
Any YA looking for a sweet romance filled with obstacles set against young love should love this book. The audio book version has two narrators, a man and a woman, who switch off as points of view change between Kai and his love interest, Avery. The author tells the story with rich prose throughout. Sometimes the female narrator seemed to get overcomed by the beauty of the descriptions and sounded like she went doey-eyed. I didn't re-listen to the chapters like this when I lost track of what happened during them, but caught the overall goings on.
Overall, an enjoyable story with a big twist. Give it a try!

Exceeded my expectations
I debated getting this book because I don't normally read this genre. I liked this author's last book so I thought I would give it a whirl to break up 40+ hour-long space opera or dystopian books I've been reading.
Good stuff. Enjoyed the characters and their emotional viewpoints. The dual readers really helped with this. Also liked the theme that rules will not stop love. Because-- screw the rules.

Not even death can stop love!!!
I purchased this book because Zachary Webber was the narrator and neither it, nor he, let me down! Such a beautiful tale of the power of love!!! Kai saves the life of a drowning girl (Avery) and in doing so he drowns. Avery is traumatized. She can't get over the pain and guilt she feels for this boy. She isn't living, but slowly dying more and more each day. Kai, a spirit being, watches over her and falls in love with her. He saved her from dying and now he knows he has to do something to save her emotionally. Sacrificing everything he finds a way to come back physically and knows he only has a short time to get her to live again. I loved every aspect of this story! I love stories that tell of the power of love and this one definitely does that. Nothing can hold back the power of love, not even death ❤️

A beautifully told story of young love. While at the heart this is a coming of age story of first love it has such ingenius twists of fantasy that set it a part from the many other such tales.
Excellent narration by two consummate professionals.
It is not often you come upon true originality but this is one such time.

Amazing.
Kai died to save Avery. Since that day, he has been watching her and watching her life unravel because she blames his death on herself. She can't get over the fact that a stranger died to save her. She tried to find him but her memories of that day are hazy. All Kai wants to do now is help her move on but since she can't see him, he can't help. That is until his mentor shows him a ring that can make him corporal. What follows is a story filled with heartache, unconditional love and redemption.
This was such a surprising read! I tend to stay well away from teen romances because I find them either to eye rollingly sappy or they are filled with love triangles or insta love. This one though, was just....... gorgeous! So. Many. Emotions!!!
Kai is such an amazing character. He is just a genuinely nice guy. He saw Avery drowning and didn't think twice about saving her. Even though he died, he still felt compelled to keep track of her and make sure she is OK.
Avery was a daredevil before the accident but since she nearly drowned, she has become more introverted. She can't help but feel responsible for the boys death. and she doesn't even know his name! But when a stranger, who doesn't feel like a stranger, comes into her life, he changes everything. Just who is Kai, and why does he feel so safe and familiar?
This whole book was effortless to read. I think I experienced nearly every emotion while reading and didn't want it to end. It's a sweet romance but also so much more!! It's a gripping, heartbreaking, story dealing with loss, grief, redemption, love but overall, hope. A must read!
I think I loved this so much because, not only was the writing stunning, but the narrators made the story pop. I adored the fact we had both a male and female narrator as it really brought the whole feel of the book alive. Both of them gave their all and absolutely nailed it! Amazing!!!
I received this as part of the blog tour. This in no way affected my thoughts.

Not my usual genre
What a pleasant surprise this book turned out to be for me! I don’t usual go for romantic books, much less ones with a sprinkle of fantasy, but there was such beauty to the characters and purity to their love and motivations, I couldn’t help but enjoy the story. Very well done!
