Description
See the world, search for a missing father, and find your greatest love.
After a recent tragedy that sends Annie into a spiral of guilt and uncertainty, her Spanish grandfather offers her the opportunity to board his lavish sailing vessel for an extraordinary journey.
Her grandfather insists that this is exactly what Annie needs to lift her spirits and provide a renewed sense of direction in her life. So naturally, her inner horizons are expanded by her international voyage's idyllic sights, diverse traditions and unique friends she encounters.
Along the way, Annie finds herself entangled in a love triangle between two romantic suitors from different worlds…a handsome Spanish matador, Ramone, and a seemingly gentle Moroccan man with mesmerizing eyes, El Amir.
Annie wonders if romance has distracted her from the real reason for her adventure— searching for news of her missing British diplomat father, caught in the controversial British turnover of Hong Kong to China in the mid-1990s.
With the intrigue building, Annie quickly discovers her intended sea voyage has turned into something else altogether.
Will Annie find love, her father, or more?

Beyond the Sea, Annie’s journey into the extraordinary by Nina Purtee was an unexpected story with a perfect combination of history, travel experiences, Romance, Mystery and Inner self work.
Annie is a creative woman who lives in Maine with her mother and father. Her father’s job in something of a mystery and even though her father disappears for weeks or months sometimes, this time is the longest he’s been absent.
Annie takes the time to go to Spain to her maternal grandparents with the purpose of learning of her father’s whereabouts while also working on her personal issues of dealing with past losses, guilt and regrets. Her journey takes her to amazing locations surrounded by history and good food with beautiful characters that make the story whole and such a pleasure to read.
I simply loved the book. While Annie was simply enjoying her passion for traveling while also letting go of her past troubles. I, as the reader, made future plans to visit the places she went to. The chemistry between Annie and her two love prospects was just a bonus for me. A very nice bonus!
I can’t wait for the next books of the series.

Annie’s fascinating travels of self-discovery. Such an enjoyable travelogue I read cover to cover in one sitting! Extremely excited for the next book in this series. I received an ARC from NetGalley, and the opinions expressed are my own.

Though this book was not what I expected, it turned out I really enjoyed it, though It did take me a while to get used to the author's style. Her descriptions of so many countries and cultures were detailed and vivid, I almost felt I was there with her. In a few places it did get rather.. steamy. But just a page or two, so I was fine to skim those parts. It was certainly an escapism story, with adventure, friendship, and romance. I thank Netgalley for the chance to read the ARC. I definitely recommend!
