CAYMAN SUMMER Review

Here's the last book in the Taken By Storm trilogy by Angela Morrison, CAYMAN SUMMER.

I was avid to dive into this book because at the end of the last book, Leesie literally ends at the bottom of a cliff along with her brother, Phil. Only Leesie doesn't end. She's left with a broken body and an ocean of guilt. She feels God and her family can't help but shun her. Life is ash around her destroyed feet. She abandons her convictions, her school, and her family.

The only island she has is Michael. She clings to him and tries to embrace his kind of life. Only he won't let her. He is now her life raft in more ways than one. He sees that if she abandons everything that once drove him crazy with unfulfilled desire, she won't be the person he fell in love with.

This book is a journey--a search for truth and love and acceptance. Will it be back where they were before? Will it be down to the depths? Or will they both follow their bubbles up towards the light?

I fell in love with Michael even more, because he is wise enough to recognize his pearl-of-great-price and the beliefs that made her precious. I loved that Leesie finds that same pearl in Michael.

You can get CAYMAN SUMMER here. I fully endorse it.

In fact, I give this whole series a huge ten flipper salute.

Diver Down (UNBROKEN CONNECTION review)

As promised, I'm giving you Angela Morrison's second book in her diving series, UNBROKEN CONNECTION.

 Leesie, despite her insatiable need for Michael, follows her dream to college, while he goes off to South East Asia to become a boat captain and SCUBA instructor and leader. They've agreed to be friends and see where that leads them.

Along the way, Michael meets a gorgeous young prostitute who needs his help to break free from the trash guys who use her. But Michael's sights are set on the girl back home--the one who saved his life, and who keeps him buoyant.

Leesie sees pictures of Michael with the Asian girl and thinks he has abandoned her for the fleshpots of Phuket.  How could she not believe it when he's kissing the girl? And it's splashed all over the Internet. She goes running home to her safe haven.

On her way home, she realizes Michael would never betray her as she thinks he has. She defends him to her brother and their argument has devastating effects which change her life.

I had to find out if Leesie and Michael managed to stay together, and if Leesie had to sacrifice her convictions and morals to do it. So far, so good. But what will happen now? Will they lose their connection? Will it be separate ocean dives for the two of them?

You can get this book here.

I give UNBROKEN CONNECTION another ten flipper salute.
