Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Distant Echoes
Colleen Coble · 2014
65/100
👎 Skip It
A dolphin researcher, a missile strike near a Navy base, and a slow-building romance with the officer investigating it — this one has atmosphere to spare with its Kauai setting. It's solid, dependable Christian romantic suspense, though it plays things fairly safe story-wise and I found limited outside reviews to confirm just how well it lands.
