Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Jessica Park comes the long-anticipated sequel to Left Drowning.

A storm is coming, and with storms come restless waters.

Pulled from the depths of catastrophe and depression, Blythe McGuire has learned to escape from her past while embracing the future. A future now entwined in the Shepherd siblings.

With Chris, she shares a staggering romance that kicks heartbreak's ass.

With Sabin, she shares an intense friendship, one that's becoming more complicated than either had expected. A friendship now being put to the test because Sabin's brutal past still haunts him. Because trauma is the gift that keeps on giving without mercy.

Now Sabin is the one left drowning and struggling to breathe, and his turmoil threatens to send all three into dark currents they cannot escape. Even after going through her own hell, saving Sabin may take much more than Blythe had ever anticipated. Their connection and their love could help, but getting him to reach for her hand may be Blythe's biggest challenge ever.

Because you need more Blyth & Sabin..

Any additional comments?

Jessica Park did it again! I absolutely loved Left Drowning. I fell in love with Blyth & the Shepards right from the beginning, so naturally when I found out there was a book two I had to read it. I loved that this story focused more on Blyth & Sabin's relationship because Sabin was one of my favorite characters from the first book. Jessica Park surely didn't disappoint in this story either. I highly recommend it.

Also worth noting is that I listened to this on audio & it was beautifully, amazing. There is music in it as well & it's perfect. So if you don't listen to audiobooks & are only going to listen to one this should be this one!

It was a great book

10 out of 10 recommend I hope there’s more to come. You can’t help but fall in love with all the shepherd siblings

Wow!!

Very powerful and a perfect follow up. Definitely not a stand alone. Love Sabin and was blown away by the music. Unusual but so special.

Emotionally charged!

Jessica Park has a way of grabbing your heart and taking it hostage. This second book in the Left Drowning series will let feel it all. Chris and Blythe fly out to spend the holidays with Sabin. Sabin and Chris are brothers, and have bond that no one can break. But there is a fragility to it. It's just a matter of what will cause it to crack. Blythe is the love of Chris's life and Sabin's best friend. When feelings are mixed, will it all come out as it should? When I listened to this story, I was not prepared for the amount of emotions it has. Park has a writing style that is not angsty, but realistic. The emotions are so real, it's impossible not feel every one. Sabin is a sensitive soul and his character resonated with me. Blythe has come from a dark place, and her friendship with Sabin and love for Chris has helped her. And I love Chris and how his experience has given him a calmness and level head, yet a tender and loving heart. These three are complex characters, and give a true to life depiction of love for each other. Plus we get to spend some time with horses!! To top of this audio, we have Troy, who as Sabin, sings the most beautiful, emotional ballads. It's a must listen.

Narrated by Arielle DeLisle, the story is truly heartfelt. It's my first listen by her and she can give you all the feels. I think she is a perfect fit for these characters and really brought the story to life.

Loved this!!

I absolutely loved reading this book but hearing it was even better. Jessica Park writes with such emotion and depth to her words so you can’t help but be affected by them, especially hearing them out loud.

So good!
