Winner of the 2012 Independent Publisher's Bronze Medal for Romance
#1 on the Amazon Bestseller List for Contemporary Romance



Book One of THE STONE TRILOGY The Amazon bestselling series of #FirstLoveRekindled, between an #Heiress and a #RockStar "that will take your heart on a rollercoaster ride of emotions."



Slip into something delicious tonight . . .

Rich, handsome, and insanely talented all describe Jon Stone, international rock star. He can have his pick of women, yet he still pines for his first love—Naomi—the girl who left him one night with no excuse, and no explanation. Sixteen years later, he's still besotted, but ready to give up when a letter arrives from a boy claiming to be his son, his and Naomi's.

This is not your typical bodice-ripper romance. The story is lush, filled with gorgeous descriptions, and lyrical writing. Written by award-winning author, Mariam Kobras, this is a cross between women's fiction, contemporary romance, and a heck of a good story. If you’re in search of something more than boy gets girl, loses girl, gets her back again, then The Distant Shore might be for you. The characters are well-drawn and real. Love them, or hate them, they all experience the day-to-day trials and tribulations of life. Indulge yourself in the “start of a great trilogy.”


BACK COVER EXCERPT
It felt as if the universe itself had opened to welcome us into its embrace . . . It still feels that way to me, Naomi, every time we are together. It feels that way when you walk into a room. Now that I have you back, I feel the unbearable emptiness of those years without you. I was selfish, distracted, and uncaring. You should never have had to endure what you did, and I should have fought a lot harder to find you again . . .

5,0 su 5 stelle The Distant Shores
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 8 aprile 2015
Acquisto verificato
The Distant Shores takes readers on a roller coaster ride of emotions as they explore the timeless love story of a famous musician and the girl who captured his heart nearly two decades ago.

When Jon Stone receives a letter from the son he never knew existed his life is turned upside down. He drops everything and heads to Norway to reconnect with the love that escaped him so many years before. Although love always seems to be the motive, Jon and Naomi forge a tumultuous and strained relationship each feeling guilty over past mistakes. Love, as always, triumphs over all and Jon and Naomi find themselves in each others arms again, picking up right where they left off. But, not everyone is happy about this union and others will stop at nothing to end it. Can Jon and Naomi survive their second chance at love?

The Distant Shores is a well written romantic story that easily captivates readers with its thick plot and abundance of intriguing characters. I fell in love with this story, but tired quickly of Naomi's negativity and whining. I felt like she had such a beautiful opportunity for happiness and spent much of her time trying to make Jon pay for the poor choices she made many years before. Jon seems so patient with her and repents for his past transgressions, but it never appears to be enough for Naomi. Her personality, although frustrating, makes The Distant Shores into a heartfelt painful romance that played on my emotions and held my attention until the end. I am eager to read Book 2.

I highly recommend picking up a copy.

5,0 su 5 stelle SO WORTH WAITING FOR
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 22 febbraio 2012
Acquisto verificato
I watched as this book became available on Amazon in the U.S. and then became more excited when I was able to order my very own copy from Amazon UK. Then I waited for it to arrive at my door and THEN I had to wait another week to read it because my lovely family were staying over and I love to read when there are no distractions. I waved everybody off and began to read. For the last three days life has been an intrusion until today when I finished reading and IT WAS SO WORTH WAITING FOR. The story just drew me in and kept me turning the pages, the main characters quickly became dear to me and I found myself willing them on throughout their story. I really enjoyed getting to know everybody else as well - Mariam manages to give you a good idea of all their personalities and that really added to the flow of the book. It's a great story and it's made even better by the fact that it's the first of a trilogy so there's even more good stuff to come. I know we all have our own opinions and our own book choices but I reckon The Distant Shore has something for everyone and I can't wait for more of my friends to read it so that we can talk about it.

4,0 su 5 stelle Immediately Compelling

I meant to just read a couple pages of this book and then go start my work. But the image of a man actually flying halfway around the world to ask a woman why in the hell she never told him he had a son was very compelling. I was drawn in within minutes, and I actually stayed up half the night to finish the book.
I actually loved some of the lesser characters in the book more than the main characters - Naomi was a wonderful character but she was so rude to people that I kept getting mad at her! Jon needed to be ignored in a school cafeteria a few times, or maybe slapped with one of his gaudy shirts, because he was so full of himself. In spite of that, their love was palpable, and after all, humans are flawed.
The thing I loved most about this book, though, was that it surprised me. I kept expecting certain things to happen and then being shocked by the story taking a different direction. I have read an awful lot of books, so being surprised is a genuinely pleasurable experience.
Also, Ms. Kubras' writing is gorgeous. I disagree with some of the other reviewers' avowals that "people don't talk that much"...I happen to talk that much, and my husband, who is sappy and in love with me, talks that much, too. We have conversations that are sort of similar to some I saw in this book, and I appreciate that. Writing rules are made to be broken, and Ms. Kubras has broken some in a delightful way.
Looking forward happily to reading the next book in the series!

4,0 su 5 stelle An Unusual Romance
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 10 giugno 2012

This is an interesting and enjoyable read, and I say that as someone who doesn't usually choose to read love stories. The love between the main characters, Naomi and Jon, is heartfelt, passionate, and almost has the quality of an addiction at times. The story is about how Naomi and John lose and find each other, over and over again.

There is only one reason I've given this book four stars rather than five. For me - and this is a personal preference - the middle section, which comprises about 80% of the book, didn't have enough conflict in the storytelling. The characters go through a beautifully depicted and utterly believable series of ups and downs, as they get to know each other again after a long parting. But, for me, there wasn't enough threat; I barely worried about them at all, until the stakes were raised close to the end of the book. (Also, there were too many flashbacks for my taste - but I guess that's inevitable, with this narrative, and again, it's a personal preference.)

Given this, it is a testament to the writer's skill that I didn't get bored. And Mariam Kobras is very skilled - which didn't surprise me, because I know her on Twitter as a highly articulate, clever, compassionate, funny writer. Her characterisation is excellent, and her descriptions superb. She took me to coastal California, New York streets, and a remote area of Norway; places I've never been to in real life, but now feel as if I've visited, thanks to her evocative descriptions. And I know much more about the jet set lifestyle than I did before I read this book - for a start, I now understand why it's called the 'jet set' - so Mariam is also a good researcher, or a closet superstar (I'm hedging my bets on this one).

I found that the first and last sections of the novel, where the conflict was strongest, were entirely compelling. It's definitely worth reading, and if you like romance, you'll probably love it.

3,0 su 5 stelle too much dialogue
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 6 maggio 2013
Acquisto verificato
The story line itself was fantastic. I loved the characters and really enjoyed the book. However, the dialogue between the main characters got to the point of sheer ridiculousness. No one would ever have a conversation like those two. I reached a point where I truly stopped reading anything in quotes when they were alone because it got so long and drawn out. Overall a really good read but the character dialogue really needs some review and editing.
