When children’s mystery writer Dana Thomas has recurring

that’s only the beginning. Can she change the fate of the man she loves and
survive?

Review of The
Open Water Swimmer
The Open Water Swimmer by Sabrina Devonshire isn’t your typical
sports romance which is one of the reasons I loved this sensational novel. While the sport of open
water swimming is definitely well understood by the end of the book, the author
clearly put some thought into drawing the reader into her plot by building
momentum with the appropriate development of a full-fledged romantic suspense.
A delightful novel with descriptive language, The Open Water
Swimmer was written by an author who not only knows her sport, but also has a
strong sense of place which she can convey to her readers with a deft hand. True
to the sport and her story, Sabrina nails down the mechanics and vividly
describes the events and her setting without sacrificing the budding romance. SabrinaDevonshire delivers a fast-paced romantic suspense while building a fiery chemistry
between her hero and heroine, often a real task for writers when they’re
writing so much action into a manuscript.
The verbal banter between the characters is often witty and
always conveys a natural chemistry destined to win a romance reader's heart. There’s never a
dull moment in this Sabrina Devonshire novel.
She takes us by the hand and leads us through a wonderful
adventure. Expect a few bumps along the
way because her characters face challenges and all romantic suspense readers
will enjoy watching the extreme measures Sabrina’s characters take to overcome
them. You’ll enjoy every twist and turn. In the end, you’ll reach a satisfying
conclusion that will keep you running back for more from author Sabrina Devonshire!
