Where the Sea Takes Me (Sea #2)
Heidi R. Kling
Summary:
Two years later might as well be two
lifetimes.
Sienna’s in college, working hard to achieve
her dreams, and trying to love another boy—and halfway succeeding. She’d be totally
happy with her life if she could just stop dreaming about him.
Deni. The boy she left behind on the shores of Banda Aceh.
When she gets word Deni’s coming to America,
Sea’s world shifts. And when he arrives on her doorstep, she's shaken to the
core.
Sparks don’t just fly, they soar—and threaten
to burn down the new life she’s so patiently, persistently,
built.
When they’re both invited to join a relief
mission in Cambodia, they jump at the chance to help…and be together. As the
time and distance between them melts away in the sticky Cambodian heat, Sienna
knows her heart can’t take losing him again.
And that’s exactly what might happen.

Excerpt
#1
In less than
two hours, Deni would be in a car with me.
I was going to
be sick.
“Sienna.” His
right eye twitched. He didn’t wear glasses anymore. After laser surgery (Vera’s
idea) he didn’t need them. I still wasn’t used to his eyes without the glass
cover. “I honestly don’t know about his wife. I assume she’s still around.
Let’s just focus on the fact he’s coming to visit, okay? It’ll only be for a
few days. And then, we’re off to Cambodia.” He patted my hand. “This means you
won’t get much of a break after finals, but you don’t mind showing Deni around
a bit, right?”
Did I mind?
It was only what I’d dreamed of for the two years since I tore myself out of
his arms on the broken shores of Banda Aceh, no matter how hard I tried to keep
the memory of Deni in my past.
“No, it’s
okay.” I didn’t want to show him my range of emotion. How torn I felt. How huge
this was for me to see Deni again after finally getting ready to move on with
Spider. I wouldn’t want him putting Deni in a hotel.
I felt like
Dad and I should be on the same page about this summer, though. About what
Spider asked.
“Want to hear
another thing making this summer interesting?”
“Sure.”
“Spider asked
me to move in with him.”
Dad choked on
a popcorn kernel. “What?” he asked, sputtering. “First Deni is coming, and now
a boy wants my daughter to move in with him? Your old dad is
going to have a heart attack.”
“Believe me,”
I said. “None of this was my idea.”
“Are you and
Spider dating? I thought you were just good friends.”
“Well, we
aren’t dating, but... He said he wants it to be more.”
It felt weird
to talk about this with my dad, but we’d bonded in Indonesia. Things had been a
lot better between us since then.
“How do you
feel?”
I got up and
started to pace. “I like Spider. I always have. But why now? Why did this have
to happen the same morning we find out Deni is on his way? I mean, obviously
Deni is married but still...having him here will be weird.”
Dad considered
me. “Sometimes life presents you with the perfect storm, and it’s up to you to figure
out how to navigate your way through it.”
Perfect storm?
More like a tsunami.
And I wasn’t
ready.
Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Where
the sea takes me is the sequel to Where I found you. In the first book,
Sienna found a way to kick-start her life after depression. She lost
her mum and gave up on life. A trip abroad to work as a Good Samaritan
was just what she needed. While there she met a boy, Deni he made her
realise her life wasn't over. Now two years later, Sienna still dreams
of her two weeks with Deni, but her own life has moved on. Her best
friend, Spider wants her to be his, but she can't stop thinking of the
boy that got away. Spider is the easy option. Her best friend and
companion, but Sienna's heart is placed elsewhere. When Deni is
presenting a film he made locally, Sienna gets to see the boy she dreams
of again. The girl she was before her mum passed is gone, and what is
left is the girl who wants to help others.
Her latest good venture takes us to Cambodia to help some young girls. This isn't Spiders sort of thing and Deni is keen to follow her. This is about going after what matters, but unfortunately Sienna can't please everyone.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This is a continuous story, however, contains catch up information. I would recommend you read book one first. It is likely there will be a book 3.
4 stars out of 5. An interesting story, but I did feel sorry for Spider. Sienna should have been honest with him. I felt she was leading him on. He wanted more and Sienna was happy to keep him as a friend.
This series is unique and the storyline is more than the average book. It's likeable but also unlikeable in the same breath.

Where I Found You (Sea #1)
Until her dad throws down the challenge of a lifetime: spend the summer with his humanitarian team in Indonesia, working with orphans who lost everything in a massive tsunami.
The day they arrive, Sienna meets a mysterious boy named Deni, whose dark, intense eyes make her heart race. Their stolen nights force her to open up and live in a way she thought she couldn't anymore. When she’s with Deni, she remembers the girl she used to be… and starts to feel like the woman he sees in her.
A woman he wants for his own.
Gulp.
But when Deni’s past comes looking for him, Sienna’s faced with losing another person she loves. She can’t do it. Not again.
Fortunately, this time, she has a plan.
