Something in the Water...

The sealed box Teal finds in the street contains more than just a mystery...

What if to be with the man of your dreams…you had to give up your life? On the verge of losing her job, side-lined journalist Teal is forced to travel to the South Pacific to profile a powerful businessman. But with her almost-but-not-quite fiancé Bear discouraging her every step of the way, she may not be able to save her career or her relationship.

When corporate criminals invade paradise, Teal teams up with a former boxer turned marine-biologist to investigate. As she discovers the true intentions behind their new canning operations, she must either accept the plum promotion that will save her career or—with Perry—defend the island with more than her life.

Something in the Water, An Ocean Romance will be released by Edington Press on January 21, 2016.

This full length novel in the soul-stirring series by Ben Starling continues the journey begun in Something in the Air, a short story now available on Amazon.~~~~~
This book was gifted to me by the author in exchange for an honest review. Only, I might add, because it has not yet been released…

Our Review:
This story has a wonderfully gripping beginning. We race along behind the heroine as she desperately tries to find the owner of a mysterious box. A mysterious box that had her name on it and was dropped by someone from the other side of the world. Someone she was destined to meet, and soon.
Mysteries abound in this magical adventure, and I loved the way the author, Ben Starling, describes everything in such revealing detail. I could smell the ocean and feel the sand between my toes. Everything came to life on the page and seemed so real.
The heroine, journalist Teal Douglas, is the kind of young lady determined to write about the wrongs she encounters, exposing the evil that people do. Even when she finds herself up to her neck in a world of political greed and illegal practices.
In this novel, you get two stories for the price of one, for an ancient guidebook                    creates a perfect analogy, reflecting the modern day problems of some of the world’s most beautiful places.
The attempted slaughter of Solomon, a sacred old whale, had me in floods of tears, but there was much worse to come. Solomon survives, severely wounded and returns to say goodbye… but what happened next tore my heart to shreds.
Apart from the fact that Something in the Wateris a cracking good story, the author manages to get the conservation message across in such an easily understood way, which should help to bring about the changes our planet so desperately needs.
A beautiful story, beautifully told. Ben Starling will be the author to watch, for he is surely going places…
