Synopsis

A cruise ship. A beautiful island. Two sexy guys. What could possibly go wrong? 

In the Bermuda Triangle—a lot.

Hoping to leave behind the reminders of her crappy life--her father's death years ago, her mother's medical problems, and the loser who’s practically stalking her--seventeen-year-old Autumn Taylor hops on a ship with her sister for a little distraction. When she wakes up in the Bermuda Triangle, she fears she's gone nuts for more than one reason: that loser’s suddenly claiming they're a happy couple... a hot guy is wrapping his arms around her and saying "Happy Anniversary"... and suddenly, she’s full of bruises, losing her hair, and getting IV medication. Autumn visits the ship's doctor, hoping for a pill or a shot to make the craziness go away. Instead, she's warned that these "alternate realities" could become permanent.

She just has to ask herself one question—how the hell is she going to get out of this mess?

Teaser 

   T minus one day to departure for my cruise to Bermuda, I almost died on my way to work. 

Should that have been enough to stop me from boarding the ship? Nah. 

I just hoped it wasn't some sort of Omen. 

Review

I received Triangles in return for an honest review from the publisher Spencer Hill Press. Autumn Taylor doesn't want to be tied down to New Jersey because her memories of her home town aren't very happy. Autumn still feels guilty for causing her dad’s car accident that took his life, as well as her mom’s accident that landed her in a coma. All she thinks about is getting out so having a boyfriend is the farthest from her mind. With the upcoming cruise with her sister she’s hoping to have some time away from Joey the guy from work who stalkers her around all the time and chance to enjoy her vacation.

However everything changes when she’s learns he will be on the cruise as well, but at least the attractive guy from the bank will be on the ship to. As the ship leaves port heading for Bermuda Autumn has no idea she will have a new life each and every time she wakes up. From being in a long term relationship with one of the guys to having a child with the other throw in a little cancer and Autumn has no idea what’s going on.  As Autumn’s world changes around her the people in her life change from having no parents to both parents. As she experiences her new life’s she suspects the Bermuda Triangle is the cause and with a chance encounter with a doctor from the past who also is experiencing her same situation.

I was a little nervous because I tend to avoid love triangles but I've been fascinated by the Bermuda Triangle so I couldn't say no. The story does revolve around Autumn and two sexy guys who couldn't be different from each other. However it’s not really a traditional love triangle which is why I was so drawn into the story. You can’t help loving Autumn she’s had a rough past, for me it was easy to relate to her because I've been in her shoes when my mom died in a car wreck. I love when I’m able to connect my life with the main character. I feel that Autumn handled being tossed from life to life great she took it all in stride. The guys what can I say other then I loved one and hated one so the story kept me on my edge because I wasn't sure if she would choose the one I wanted. I found the concept unique right from the start you don’t see many cruise ship books and it’s my first Bermuda Triangle book.  The author has created a fantastic story that I had a hard time putting down so I finished it in one afternoon. The book is well written, flowing smooth from start to finish so teens as well as adults will enjoy it. I look forward to seeing what else the author has. 

4 out of 5 stars
