One of Southern Livings 25 Beach Reads Perfect for Summer A perfect blend of romance and womens fiction. SHERRYL WOODS, #1 New York Times bestselling author A Summer of Low Tides Could Expose Years of Family Secrets When her grandmother goes missing from the family beach house, Maddy and her estranged sisters converge in Sea Haven, North Carolina. Being with uptight Nora and free-spirited Emma in the home where their family broke apart is a struggle Maddy is not in the mood to face, especially since shes recovering from her ex-boyfriends betrayal. As the sisters wait for word of their grandmother, they begin to pack up the family belongingsand unpack memories of the idyllic summers of their childhood. But with those memories come long-buried secrets, and Maddy discovers that all was not as it appeared that last summer in Sea Haven. Meanwhile, Grams neighbor, Connor Sullivan, seems overly interested in Grams whereabouts. Maddy is drawn in by his quick smile and steady gaze in spite of herself. Undercurrents of jealousy and resentment threaten to pull the family under again, maybe for good this time. As tensions rise, the sisters must find a way to accept each other for the women theyve becomeand Maddy must decide if falling in love again is worth the potential heartbreak. I have never read a romance by Denise Hunter that didnt sweep me away into a happily ever after. Treat yourself!

Summer by the Tides is both a perfect beach romance and a dramatic story of second chances as sisters unravel secrets that have torn them apart for years. This novel is Hunter at the top of her game.

I really liked this one. Seeing the family come back together was my favorite part. The beginning did drag a little in my opinion, but other than that it was a quick read.

Mehso-so

From ok to so-so. After Maddy broke up with her boyfriend and lose her job, she received a call indicating her grandma was missing. She will travel to her grandma‘s beach house with her two other sisters. She didn‘t have communication with them for years. Family drama with a lot of secrets will be revealed during their staying in grandma‘s house. A second chance story for every character. Too repetitive, a little cheesy with religious content. 3⭐️

Gissy I liked Louise character, the 83 y/o grandma.

Eggbeater Nice job 👍 @Gissy ! 3y
TheAromaofBooks I remember being really aggravated by the way that basically every male character in this story was a cheating jerk. 🙄 3y

I almost but not quite completed #FancifulFebruary!! Not sure how I didn't read a single book with a heart on the cover?! Ridiculous! Super fun challenge so thank you @4thhouseontheleft I have a total weakness for reading bingo cards of all kinds!!

BookishMe Where do you normally source for reading Bingo cards? 4y
TheAromaofBooks Well, sometimes people make them up on Litsy, like this one and the one for #Jennyis30. BookishFirst puts one out every month (I'll post March and tag you!) and also has other random ones - I'm working on their Mystery Book and Romance Novel ones throughout the year. Sometimes I just search “Reading Bingo“ online and see what appears!! 4y
alisiakae Great job! I also did not read an author whose name starts with F. 4y
TheAromaofBooks @4thhouseontheleft - Most of these I found organically through the books I was already reading, and I was a little surprised at the two I had leftover! 4y

A low pick, there were several things that moderately annoyed me about this book (a dog for some reason runs away DURING A HURRICANE?! And then ONE person runs out to look for it... then ONE person goes to look for her... safety in numbers, people! Sheesh) but overall a pretty regular romance.

alisiakae Whenever a bad storm rolls through my area here in NC, it is almost always followed up by runaway dog posts in my neighborhood FB group! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @4thhouseontheleft - I suppose some dogs may be so scared they run away instead of in?? I can hardly get my dogs to go out when it's raining haha Either way, if your dog runs away during a hurricane, please don't go out ALL ALONE to find him!! 😆 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Cinfhen @sblbooks - it was the part where they kept going out one at a time to find the last person who went out one at a time and despite knowing the hurricane was coming apparently no one bothered to charge their cell phones beforehand?? I just couldn't deal lol 4y
ljuliel You‘re doing great ! 4y
Andrew65 Going well. 👍 (edited) 4y

Summer by the Tides is the perfect novel to read on a lazy weekend afternoon. It‘s fun and engaging, the characters are seriously endearing, and the themes are timely. It‘s just an all-around good novel that I highly recommend!

As the girls wait for news on their Grandmother the girls begin to pack up family belongings and unpack memories of the idyllic summers of their childhood. But the memories also bring up long buried secrets. Maddy soon discovers things were not as she had thought they had been the last summer her family had spent together in Sea Haven.

“Mandy Monroe was cowering behind a ficus tree near the hostess station when her cell phone rang. Her hands shook as she silenced the phone before it drew the attention of the staff.”

A new Denise Hunter is always a treat and Summer by the Tides doesn‘t disappoint! Our leading lady, Maddy, begins the book distraught about a break up with her boyfriend and her week gets worse when her dear grandmother goes missing! [ 400 more words ]
