About this item

From the bestselling author of These Tangled Vines comes a gripping novel about one woman’s search for answers when her husband vanishes in the night.

Olivia Hamilton is married to the love of her life, Dean, a charismatic pilot who flies private jets for the rich and famous. But when he vanishes over the Bermuda Triangle, Olivia’s idyllic existence unravels. After years of waiting, Olivia must eventually let go of the fragile hope that her beloved husband might still be alive.

Melanie Brown is a particle physicist who spends late nights studying the Bermuda Triangle. But her research interests falter when her mother dies in a tragic accident. Struggling to reboot her life and career, Melanie begins a forbidden love affair with her therapist.

When a shocking discovery shows Olivia’s and Melanie’s paths are intertwined, it casts Dean’s disappearance in a new light. The two women’s strange connection threatens to unlock secrets that will change everything Olivia thought she knew about her marriage, her husband, and most importantly, herself.

Full of spellbinding twists and turns, Beyond the Moonlit Sea is a vivid, emotional novel about the stirring power of love lost and found—and the incredible strength of one woman who fights for happiness in the wake of tragedy.

Started out as a really good read, but kinda lost its steam toward the end.

Seemed like a takeoff of old Montgomery Cliff movie where a poor man kills off his lover when a rich gal comes into his life. Book well written. Slow start, and a bit confusing when chapter titles duplicated.

3.0 out of 5 stars Like reading diaries.
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2024
This book is like reading the diaries of 3 people. Their lives intersect, and that causes pain and dysfunction for all. There's such a switch in the personality of the first female character, as described by the male, that it's almost like reading a totally different book. The overall impression is one of selfishness though, excuses for thoughtless behaviors. It's as if one character, the one who dies, becomes nothing more than trash to the writer. I confess that I was glad to finally be finished with it. I didn't care for the surviving characters.

This book was pretty awesome! The characters, complex. Enjoyed the mysterious disappearance of Dean, which we learn more about as time goes on. The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle has always fascinated me…so really liked this novel. I didn’t care for the ending of this book, so not quite 5 stars.

Really liked the exploration of the concept of how good people may do things that look illegal, but that doesn’t really make them bad.

Also, this was first book I’ve ever listened to on Audible. It was performed well…and my kids even got into this story!

I picked this book at random. No particular reason except I guess the title intrigued me! Was very very good. Could not put it down. I recommend it if you are looking for something different!

“To help you look inward, be as self-aware as you can possibly be. Life is easier when you know yourself. When you can accept your past and your limitations and recognize your strengths and desires. When you really know who you are and what you want, and you don’t try to be something you’re not.”

I absolutely loved Beyond the Moonlit Sea. I was hooked on the first page. Love, mystery and regret. It was a story I was constantly thinking about when I wasn’t reading it. The writing style is so smooth and intriguing, I couldn’t wait to know what happened next.

It has:
????Historical Fiction
????Romance
????Instant love
????Family Drama
????Secrets
????Bermuda Triangle
????Mystery
????Second Chance Romance
????Emotional
????Shifting POV & timelines

Julianne MacLean has become one of my favorite authors. If you like Kristin Hannah & Taylor Jenkins Reid, you’d love Julianne’s books too. Many of her books are included in Kindle Unlimited. I highly recommend her other books:

A Fire Sparkling
✨WW2
✨Historical Fiction

Not my typical read... Although I read a lot of romance, the storylines are usually intense. This story was different. It is based on a troubled love that had some drama, and although things didn't go as everyone planned, it worked out in the end.

One thing I didn't appreciate was the fact that the people with troubled upbringings ended up with sad fates in the end. While the privileged characters found their happy ending.

Although I would have preferred a different story, it was well written for the type of story it is. Therefore, I had to give it a higher rating. It's not the author's fault I read something outside of the genres I typically enjoy.
