4 out of 5 stars
TIDEWATER INN had a unique storyline with plenty of suspense
and romance.
Libby Holladay and her partner Nicole renovate and save
buildings with historical value. It’s
Libby’s true passion in life. Well,
Libby’s life has just turned upside down.
Thinking her father died when she was young, Libby has just found out
his death was more recent and that he left her an inheritance in the form of an
old seaside house. She’s also just
learned she has a half brother and sister that want nothing to do with her, and
her business partner, Nicole, has been kidnapped before her eyes. Feeling overwhelmed by all that is going on
around her, she also learns she is the sheriff’s main suspect in Nicole’s
disappearance. Finding Nicole is Libby’s
top priority even though her own life is being threatened. Though Coast Guard Lieutenant, Alec Bourne, makes
it clear he’s suspicious of Libby, he’s the only one that seems willing to help
her find Nicole. What follows is a race against
time to find Nicole and her kidnappers, before they find Libby.
I really enjoyed TIDEWATER INN. Though I read the three books that comprise
the Hope Beach series out of order, it did not lessen my enjoyment of the story
or the characters of Libby and Alex. The
pace was fast-moving, and I was surprised by not only who the culprit was that
was trying to silence Libby, but some of the discoveries Libby made as well. Alec was a stand-up guy who was honest with
Libby about his suspicions, but soon saw that Libby was genuinely kind and
carry, and would never intentionally hurt someone. Libby couldn’t help but be drawn to Alec’s
protective manner but tried to keep her feelings under wraps. Libby’s need to gain her brother and sister’s
approval was admirable considering how poorly they treated her.
Out of the three books in the series, I think TIDEWATER INN
was my favorite. A good read with good
characters.
