The Shifting Sands Beneath Us: A Billionaire Beach Romance Kindle Edition

by Giulia Lagomarsino (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 424 ratings

Lies. Betrayal. Passion.

My life is not my own.

Forced into an arranged marriage, it’s the only way to win a small amount of freedom.

But trapped in this union, I found something I never expected.

The love of my life.

Except, he’s not my husband.

What started as a meaningless walk on the beach has turned into so much more.

Something I crave.

I can no longer deny myself.

I may never feel even an ounce of what I do when I’m with him.

I’m willing to risk everything to be in his arms.

But how will I survive when it ends?

    Never disappoints. You bond with the characters in each of Giulia's novels and hate to have the stories end. I read alot, ALOT, and never have gotten that connection, investment, like I do with hers. Can't put my Kindle down, having to charge it while I am still reading it, staying up till 2am on work nights😯😯and laughing so hard at the crazy stunts and back and forth of the characters, having to make a beeline to the bathroom! Definitely should have some of her stories made into Mini Series! Highly Recommend!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Another great book for Giulia
    Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    Rose and James are two people forced into a marriage by their families. They both know what they're getting into when signing the papers, but it doesn't make things easier.

    Two strangers meet for the first time at a restaurant. They have a bit of a laugh, and things happen. They want to see each other again.
    James is there to fix up a beach house he bought, and has plans with the surrounding area.
    Rose is trying to get away from her family until her so-called husband calls her home. A man that wants nothing to do with her, doesn't love her, and is off doing whatever it is he's doing.
    As the hours turn into days, and the days turn into weeks, these two people are falling in love with one another. They know it can't go further, but are willing to risk it all.
    Friends are there to help along the way, but through it all, only they could live with the outcome.

    Fast forward six months, and it's back to reality. James and Rose are going home. It's time to see the truth.
    James finds himself in a place he doesn't like. He's not built to run a company, and he'll do anything to keep his wife happy.
    Rose is not happy anymore, and she refuses to follow the contract any longer. The marriage is a sham, and she wants out, but at what cost? She has a great job she loves, and James is ready to move on to the next step of his new venture.

    Will these two find each other again, or were they doomed from the start?

    I left out a lot of details because you need to read this book and figure it out for yourselves.

    Who knew Giulia could write such angst? Rose and James certainly deserved a happy ever after. Just because they had douches for family that only wanted money didn’t mean they should have to suffer. Totally loved this book and although I don’t usually write a review I felt this one deserved it. I totally cried more than once and especially at the end. It’s your job to determine if I cried happy tears or sad tears. Job well done Giulia! P.S I know she said at the end it was her one and only I surely would like to see one with Fletch and Clarissa!

    What an amazing story. Two people who are being told what to do by their demanding parents for a merger of their companies. So archaic. Who does such things anymore! Can there be love, feelings when you are forced into this type of relationship with someone, and told you have to do such and such? Very interesting, exciting, emotional, intense story. Beautifully written, loved it.❤️

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great beach read
    Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2022
    Format: Paperback
    Rose goes on a vacation to escape a loveless marriage that her parents arranged to merge their company with another for more money. So she goes off to the beach for a little freedom.

    James has escaped his father’s control until his brother died. Now James is expected to take up as CEO and the marriage contract to Kimberley. He asks for 6 months off before taking over.

    James and Rose Meet on the beach and fall in love though each is married.
    Now neither want to return to the lives they were destined to.

    This is a very different story from this author but I have to say it was awesome.
    It’s a great beach read and also has some surprising twists.

    I did have a couple questions like how did James brother die and why was he not already married and CEO and a few other little questions on that line. But that’s just not picking I guess.
    If your looking for a great beach romance, here you go!

    Giuliani is one of my absolute favorites, and this book is a departure for her, however, it just proves that any story she tells will be excellent. The characters are wonderful. Thank goodness, she wrote in Shane and Clarissa for a bit of humor. Really good read. Would love a follow up. A stand alone just isn't enough.

    I wasn’t a fan of Kimberley and Alexander, but I loved Rose and James!

    While this story is the emotional rollercoaster, I’ve gotten used from Giulia, it's also very different from her other books. That is in no way a complaint, nor does that observation take anything away from this book. Just don't expect the guys from Reed Security to pop up with their antics!

    I thoroughly enjoyed The Shifting Sand Beneath Us.
