No Place Too Far by Kay Bratt
4.0
I didn’t realize No Place Too Far was the second book in a series when I chose to read it, but I felt that the author provided more than enough information to understand what had gone on before for one of the main characters in this book, Quinn. Quinn’s story continues in No Place Too Far; however, Maggie Dalton, Quinn’s longtime friend, is the focus of the main story. I would probably categorize this novel as “romantic suspense”.
Maggie is in Maui with her young son to rebuild her life after being the victim of a stalker. She is separated from her son’s father, Colby, but the author really didn’t make clear the WHY of this separation. Perhaps it’s made clear in the first book in this series, True To Me. This did not markedly dampen my enjoyment of the book, but it was a bit vague for me, which made subsequent occurrences less impactful than they might have been.
That being said, this is an exciting book that totally kept my interest throughout. I learned a bit about traditional Hawaiian culture along the way. I enjoyed the various characters that are introduced throughout the book, especially the irrepressible Juniper and the joke-loving veterinarian, Joe Starr. If there’s a third book in this series, I hope those two will pop up again. Another lovely “character” was Woodrow, Maggie’s service dog.
