Wow! One word. Wow.
Never has a book or books in this case left me so utterly speechless, than "Familiar Light" and its follow-up "Tide of Lies" by Sarah Balance. Both absolutely blew me away. Sarah is truly a master of suspenseful writing. I was hooked from the very first page of "Familiar Light" to the very last page of its sequel "Tide of Lies." I found myself white-knuckle gripping my kindle throughout both books. Sarah had me guessing right up to the end of "Familiar Light" and then just wh...more

Familiar Light by Sarah Ballance is classed as a sensual romance, but also has a healthy dollop of suspense thrown in for good measure. Part of the Timeless Desire range of books from Noble Romance, Ballance gives us a very tense, sensual read.
Familiar Light tells the story of Laney Kent, a girl who left her hometown of Barrier Shoals to go to college. She promised her first love, Bridger Jansen, that she would return - and she does, but by the time she does, it's seven years later. Understandab...more

Familiar Light is a short story by Sarah Ballance of 35 pages. It was well-written, easy to read and with cute characters.
The story starts with the main female character Laney going back home. She promised to her love, Bridger, to be back together with him next summer after she went to college, but it has been several years. She never came back until now and she is scared of how he will react.
Bridger has tried to find love after Laney left, but has not found the match. He is very surprised to s...more

Awesome read!
FAMILIAR LIGHT by SARAH BALLANCE is a beautifully written, fantastic short story! I am so impressed that Ms. Ballance could put together such a wonderfully suspenseful, sensuous read in a short story. What a talent she has. It left me breathing heavy after a particular scene at the beach and wanting for nothing, except in the Epilogue when it gives you a taste of the upcoming sequel called Tide of Lies. I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT! I WANT IT NOW! I can assure you that I will be reading much...more

Familiar light is a short sensual read that will captivate you and pull you into the pages, at only 35 pages long, Im amazed at how much detail Sarah has captured within such few pages.
After turning the first page, you wont realize your at the end till you have turned the last page - but only left to be wanting more .
Its filled with love, passion, romance, and suspense in equal amounts giving us a storyline that will pique your attention right till the very end.

After reading this book, I want to take a trip to a lighthouse, mainly to try and picture the feel that she paints with her characters and her setting in this novel. Filled with an old love, a stalker, danger and mystery, it leaves you sitting there wanting to eat every last tasty morsel until the story is complete. It makes waiting for the next story to come out with these character almost unbearable.
This was a great quick read setting up Ms. Ballance's Tide of Lies (you get to meet Holden and learn the threat in the next story). Fun, action-packed read. The writing wasn't as tight as I expected (which is why I didn't give it 5 stars), but the character development and the action carried the story over any hitches in storytelling. A great set-up for her longer length work. Nicely done.
Full of keep you on the edge of your seat action. I loved this book. Especially if you only have a little while to read. There are steamy scenes and nonstop suspense. Sarah's a new author for me and I can't wait to read more. I am waiting patiently (not so much) for Amazon to have Tide of Lies. Thanks for the awesome read Sarah!
Familiar Light will leave you wanting more--much more--with every turn of the page. Filled with suspense and plot twists you didn't even know were there until they were jumping out at you. This is one night you'll never forget.
Sarah outdid herself again. This story contains love, loss, fear, and happiness all in one short little read that will leave you drooling for more. This is a must read for those who enjoy romantic suspense.
I liked this short story. It was a good romance and threw in a little mystery. If you are looking for a quick, good read I recommend getting this one. I can't wait to see where the story goes in the next one.
I had already read some of Sarah Ballance's work, so I knew I liked her writing style. She uses beautiful imagery but doesn't go into a lengthy, flowery prose you would want to skip. The main characters, Bridger and Laney, were once in love. That was seven years ago and they were young. Now, Laney is coming home and things are hot from the get-go! Ballance does a terrific job of making me believe in their chemistry and then throws in a mystery and suspense story. I won't spoil the ending, but it...more
Review to come.
I fell for Sarah's writing through www.sixsunday.com and I am so very glad I went from blog reader to book reader. This little book had so much to love. A beautiful rekindled love story, heat, mystery, suspense. I just could not put it down. The pacing was brilliant. I dived immediately into Sarah's next book Tide of Lies. Familiar Light is a must read.

Sarah lives a charmed life as the mother of six incredible homeschooled children, all of whom are completely adorable when they're asleep. Her husband of many years (long, long years, he calls them) is the kind of guy who could teach those heroes from the books a thing or two about romance, not that he'd readily admit it. Completely supportive of her love for writing fiction, he's generously offer...more
