Narration Toward Books Overseas

A passionate, sweeping novel of a love that transcends time.

When twenty-something Wall Street analyst Kate Wilson attracts the notice of the legendary Julian Laurence at a business meeting, no one’s more surprised than she is. Julian’s relentless energy and his extraordinary intellect electrify her, but she’s baffled by his sudden interest. Why would this handsome British billionaire "Manhattan’s most eligible bachelor” pursue a pretty but bookish young banker who hasn’t had a boyfriend since college?

The answer is beyond imagining . . . at least at first. Kate and Julian’s story may have begun not in the moneyed world of twenty-first-century Manhattan but in France during World War I, when a mysterious American woman emerged from the shadows of the Western Front to save the life of Captain Julian Laurence Ashford, a celebrated war poet and infantry officer.

Now, in modern-day New York, Kate and Julian must protect themselves from the secrets of the past, and trust in a true love that transcends time and space.

Notice About Books Overseas

I really wanted to like this book because the premise sounded so interesting, but it fell flat. **SPOILERS AHEAD**This book was so ridiculously cheesy. I hated Kate's personality throughout the entire story. She was boring and complained about the dumbest things. Her boyfriend Julian gives her a credit card to buy new things with while being held captive? WHAT NERVE! I mean, who gets fired from a job (regardless of the circumstances) and is just like "Oh well, I guess I'll hang out at my super

Overseas is an engaging and entertaining first novel. Yes, there is time travel involved, but once you suspend your disbelieve that men were mysteriously transported from the trenches of the Great War to modern-day France, it is a very enjoyable light read. There's romance, fancy clothes, a doting boyfriend, more romance, and an ever-present mysterious threat to the happy couple.

I had high hopes for this one. Time travel, a WWI romance thing mixed with a modern day romance, what's not to like? But there was a lot I didn't like about this, especially on audio. The syrupy dialogue began to irritate me to no end, and I couldn't help thinking Kate was a major drip and wondered what Julian saw in her that kept him going for all these years after only knowing her for what - a matter of days? Sorry, I just didn't buy it. The love of the century? She was so annoying! The

1.5/5 Basically, reading Overseas felt like someone telling me:Look, darling, Im in the middle of a speech, here. Id appreciate your breathless attention.That quote is straight from the hero's mouth. There were things that came from the heroine's mouth, too, but that one quote is enough. The overall effect was on the schmaltzy side. Also, the heroine couldn't make up her mind if she was a modern woman or not. The time travel didn't make much sense to me. I'm not even sure why the hero and the

Take Fifty Shades of Gray (minus the whole BDSM-thing), add The Time Traveler's Wife, plus a dash of Erin Duffy's debut novel Bond Girl, and a pinch of Maisie Dobbs' WWI mysteries, shake them all up in a box, and you get Beatriz Williams' imaginative debut novel Overseas.Young analyst Kate Wilson has a summer job at Sterling Bates bank, a Wall Street institution. When she attracts the attention of superstar hedge fund billionaire Julian Ashford, sparks fly and they begin a relationship, much to

I have never been so offended for an author in my life, as I am for Audrey Niffenegger, that this drivel has been compared to the genius of Time Travellers Wife. This was for me, the literary equivalent of a root canal. And I suffered the pain .... I tried to endure, I really did. Waiting for a moment when it would turn into an actual story worth reading. I clawed by way well over the half way mark - but in the end I have had to cry foul, and demand an anaesthetic. I just cannot take another

There is something about Beatriz Williams novels that draws me back time and again. She very cleverly manages to weave something unusual into a genre which can at times seem very hackneyed.This isn't the best of her offerings (I think this might've been her first novel) Julian is the standout character in this story, though even he suffers from the use some rather 'eye-rolling' dialogue, while Kate's character seems rather caricature and cliché compared to Williams' outstanding Vivian Schuyler.
