To the Farthest Shores

By: Elizabeth Camden

Narrated by: Angela Brazil

It has been six years since army nurse Jenny Bennett's heart was broken by a dashing naval officer. Now Lieutenant Ryan Gallagher has abruptly reappeared in her life at the Presidio army base, but refuses to discuss the inexplicable behavior that destroyed their happiness.

Ryan is in an impossible situation. One of the few men in the world qualified to carry out a daring assignment, he accepted a government mission overseas that caused his reputation to be destroyed and broke the heart of the only woman he ever loved. Honor-bound never to reveal where he had been during those six years, he can't tell Jenny the truth or it will endanger an ongoing mission and put thousands of lives at risk.

Although Ryan thinks he may have finally found a solution, he can't pull it off on his own. Loyalty to her country compels Jenny to help, but she never could have imagined the intrigue she and Ryan will have to face or the lengths to which they will have to go to succeed.

Critic reviews

"Camden is the master of historical-inspirational romance, and she has delivered another fascinating read with complex, memorable characters and an interesting subplot about the start of the cultured pearl industry." ( Booklist)

Good stuff

The story was a good but the narrator kept swallowing and it got to me. She was good with voices but swallowed at almost every other paragraph.

Great story

Love the education of the times twisted into the love story. The pearl farming described was fun!

Good book, narration ok

I love the varied topics Elizabeth Camden writes about! They are well thought out and I find myself learning about things I’ve never thought much about while reading a great story. This story wasn’t as good as some, and again lacked the witty humor of the first books of hers I read, but it was the narrator that bothered me most. And maybe that’s where the brightness and humor got wiped out. This narrator seems to focus so much on being perfectly concise/articulate that she lacks a cheerful upbeat smooth narration. To me the main character sounded like a not so kindly, demanding person with the voice the narrator gave her. She’d be excellent if she’d smooth out a little and inject some enthusiasm!

Sorely Disappointed

This may have been a good book had the narrator been something other than a robotic drone. It is impossible for me to understand how this narrator got passed an audition.

Good story

A different kind of love story but creative in storyline & characters. Although I enjoyed the book it isn’t my most favorite of this author. Narrator is good.
