OVERSEAS by Beatriz Williams

"When the Past Meets the Present Can Love Survive?"

By: Beatriz Williams

Genres: Paranormal Mystery | Romance Suspense

Posted: June 20, 2012

Julian is an admirable man. When he is hit by a shell in WWI, he travels to 1996. Years later, he is wealthy and in love with Kate. It isn't long before Julian expresses a deeper interest in Kate than business and the two slowly fall in love together. It should be all sweetness and violets, but Kate isn't so sure. Julian is behaving strangely and acting fiercely protective of her. He continues to love her and pampers her, but what she really wants is an explanation for some of his behavior.

Kate's character is sassy, strong, and witty. She isn't the type to blindly follow and fully intends to figure out Julian's secret...or else. Julian is a handsome, charismatic character. He appears to truly love Kate and readers will feel badly that Kate takes some of his advances and protective gestures the wrong way. The secondary characters are really not focused upon.

OVERSEAS is perfect for those who enjoy their fiction with a hint of romance. Yes, it is a love story, but there are several other subplots with plenty of mystery, intrigue, and action that will occupy readers of various genres. With a fast-paced plot and two quirky, but loving characters, I highly recommend OVERSEAS.

Book Summary

When twenty-something Wall Street analyst Kate Wilson attracts the notice of the legendary Julian Laurence at a business meeting, no one’s more surprised than she is. Julian’s relentless energy and his extraordinary intellect electrify her, but she’s baffled by his sudden interest. Why would this handsome British billionaire—Manhattan’s most eligible bachelor—pursue a pretty but bookish young banker who hasn’t had a boyfriend since college?

The answer is beyond imagining . . . at least at first. Kate and Julian’s story may have begun not in the moneyed world of twenty-first-century Manhattan but in France during World War I, when a mysterious American woman emerged from the shadows of the Western Front to save the life of Captain Julian Laurence Ashford, a celebrated war poet and infantry officer.

Now, in modern-day New York, Kate and Julian must protect themselves from the secrets of the past, and trust in a true love that transcends time and space.
