Alice manages to drag her best friend Bella out to a bar that is often frequented by men from the Navy. While she has always had a thing for them, Bella only sees them as nothing but womanizers. Yet even though she is less than thrilled to tag along, she does to pacify Alice. As her "wingman", Bella suddenly finds herself walking up to two handsome men. After Alice takes off with one of the men, a Navy Seal called Jasper, Bella is stuck in an ackward yet also strangely comfortable conversation with the other, Edward. She learns that the guys will leave in a week for a six-months trip and has no idea how the next seven days will change her life. Because the girls both develop very intense but different kinds of relationship witht the Navy Seals: while Alice falls head over heels in love with Jasper and experiences a whirlwind of a romance during that week, Bella and Edward start a close friendship - undeniable chemistry included.

When the time eventually comes for the men to leave, Bella is absolutely heartbroken. Over the following six months she has nothing but emails to stay in contact with Edward. And those emails make them become even closer than before. And once Edward returns, neither of them can deny their feelings for the other any more. They fall fast and hard and thoroughly enjoy every moment of their time together. But when Edward receives orders that will take him away for at least another month, he has no idea what to do next. How will Bella take this? Would there relationship be able to endure another long time apart?

Who doesn't love a Navyward, right!? A World Away is swoonworthy and will have you sailing a sea of romance. It's a quick burn and the story is really about Edward and Bella's growth in their relationship vs. it being about actually getting there in the first place. Furthermore, Edward is very broken with a sad past and when Bella comes along his way, she brings along a group of (guy) friends who make Edward more than nervous. I can only say I absolutely loved this story and couldn't wait to recommend it! It's sweet, romantic, and steamy! Author, wandb did a superb job in making the reader fall in love with her Edward and Bella, while also adding enough humor to make you giggle as well as just the right amount of drama to keep you reading. Get your life vests ladies! ;-)
