Blurb:
The first time I met Ian Kemp in the sparkling blue waters of St. Thomas, I was six years old and we shared a summer beneath the stars.
The second time I met Ian Kemp, he was a shell of the boy I once knew. Turbulent and infuriating, he refused my friendship at every turn. Like me, he was a casualty of life’s cruelty, but we were planets apart.
We’d both sought refuge on the island, hoping to find our anchor. Instead, we found each other and managed to reclaim our stars...until we both got swept away.
About the Author:
A Texas native, Kate Stewart lives in North Carolina with her husband, Nick, and her naughty beagle, Sadie. She pens messy, sexy, angst-filled contemporary romance as well as romantic comedy and erotic suspense because it's what she loves as a reader. Kate is a lover of all things '80s and '90s, especially John Hughes films and rap. She dabbles a little in photography, can knit a simple stitch scarf for necessity, and on occasion, does very well at whiskey.

4.5 ‘Blasting’ Stars
Emotional Journey…that is what Kate Stewart takes us on with each and every book she writes! Someone Else’s Ocean is not an exception. Raw, Gritty, Devastating and true LOVE. That’s what this story brings us.
Koti has suffered the ultimate life changing event. She lost it during a presentation, costing her a ride in the fast lane to success. But truly, how is success measured? By how many mental breakdowns you have during your life? Unable to be the person that her mother wished she would be, Koti did the next best thing. She left NYC.
Ian’s life has been nothing but lies. He should have said goodbye all those years ago. But life has a way of detouring you until you find the right street. Broken completely he has now returned to the island where peace and happiness remained in his memory.
Koti and Ian met all those years ago, but lost contact during these adult years that have ripped them both apart. Both of them are suffering. Both are just surviving.
Can Pufferfish and Crocky meet again after all these years and enjoy a Banana Pop to rekindle their happy years? Or will the storm arrive and wash away their happy place?
Absolutely enjoyed reading this story!!!

welcome to the Island of Misfit-Humans
I'm fumbling around with my emotions that've come pouring out of all the nooks and crannies of my heart. I've just closed the book and I wanna revisit and recapture the magic once again. Is it too soon to dive back in? Because I'm having serious withdrawls, like acute pain in my core. As I climb out of the pages, I feel cold and exposed so I the need to go back to St. Thomas Beach in sunshine and surf and bask in the radiance of Koti Vaughan & Ian Kemp. I want to wrap myself in their all consuming love, get lost, bliss out and forget the world. You see they are runaway of sorts. Both have landed on this island by chance, running from their scarred & broken lives.
Before I came here, I had a really shity thing happen. the kind of thing that breaks people. I think you're familiar with that. I was alone-alone in a way no human should ever be -and I needed just one person to ask me that question. I was surrounded by thousands of people, but I just needed one
They were childhood neighbours before they were orbiting around the world,on different continents, their paths somehow crossed and now they are rekindling the embers of dormant attraction they once had.
Decades of Life separated the two of us and I was more Curious than ever or what his years held
This island is like a mirage. It's borrowed time, borrowed life, a glimpse of a heaven that could be, they could've had had.
They are someone else here, in someone else's house, watching Someone Else's Ocean. (So THAT'S what it means !!!!) You know when you arrive at the point in the story when it all starts to fall in place and the title makes sense...yeah this is it!!!
Koti is on pre-emptive strike mode and Ian is on Demolition Man mode. Their coming together is explosive and combative. The love is palpable, tantalizing and had a cosmic gravity. I couldn't take my eyes off of their coupling, which had me sighing "At Last"!! These people had so much faith & energy, it just exploded all over the pages. The skies lit up with stars in their vicinity and sun shone brighter, moon pulled tides and this became an idyllic haven for their romance to flourish. I'm telling ya, this book was so magical in narrative, I had stars in my eyes, like the sorts that Koti sees in moonlight, sparkling like diamonds on dark water!
I so wanna blab out the story, but I don't want to spoil it for others. So Just trust me on this. You'll have MAJOR FEELS, the words like tide ebbing and flowing, ebbing and flowing. The sex is insanely hot, almost like volcanic eruptions followed by earthquake.
"My whole body vibrating as I stood in a daze.My hair a sex afro. My abdomen was screaming and I winced at the pinch I still felt from his size. The man fucked like Tarzan
There's secrets that are soul shattering, elphantine weights pinning down the souls, and there's SONDER and physical ailments, there's unrequited love, there's abandonment. At many points I had to keep my kindle down and breathe, because the commotion of thoughts and disturbance of energy became too much for me. I had to constantly remind myself, "this is not real, they are characters in a book!"
"I mean we are all just extra's sipping coffee in the background of someone else's life. but that could change at any second. if I wanted to I could put my coffee down and become responsible for you. we are all responsible. we could all choose to take responsibility couldn't we?"
And what if....what if that person sipping coffee in the background of your life, what if they are the next chapter ?
Kate hasn't left out a single shade of sentiment in her crayon box, she has emptied her palette in this book which bedazzles your eyes and colours your soul.
"Can't write about a broken heart as well as a broken heart can"
People have become real, they've come alive and taken residence in my soul, their pulse pounding rythm and potent reactions embellish this beautiful story. I hate that I finished the book, I love that I got to read it.
I derived so much strength from her words, so much clarity, my own life shades somehow got mixed with Koti's, that is an indicative of a good book where you feel affinity with the characters. The oneness and camaraderie by association. It's like an epiphany
"Hey something like this happened to me!"
Or "I feel exactly what she feels"
That connect is hard to achieve and Kate does it so effortlessly. She has managed to squeeze my eyes dry, all the tears are gone, they've soaked the pages.
everyone is a glass house, it's up to you to decide who to give rocks to
I don't want to walk away, so I'll climb back between the pages and turn off the lights. All I need is sound of crashing waves and Disco yapping at my feet.
Goodnight world!
Not all love stories come with happy endings
