Riptide
Antonia Church
Contemporary Romance
Nevada Noble has left behind a boring boyfriend and a suffocating family in the midwest to start a new life in Florida. Trading snow boots for sunglasses and socks for flip-flops, Neve instantly falls in love with the surf and the sand.
Her promise to stay faithful to only her love affair with the beach is soon in jeopardy as the prodigal son of the seaside town returns. He’s sexy, smart, and single—with a hint of mystery surrounding his sudden return.
Neve realizes the vow of chastity she made along the shores isn’t strong enough to withstand the tidal pull of attraction. Her heart gets caught in a riptide.
Uncaged Review: This book would rival any soap opera or reality housewives show. Nevada moves from boring Iowa to a rich seaside town in Florida. This town has a few core families that are always at each other’s throats, but they also have a lot of secrets. Think of the old show Dynasty meets Knot’s Landing meets The Young and the Restless. And if a family member is shamed, they are sent to live in Old Mat, the slum side of town.
A lot of secrets are revealed, but a lot of new questions leave the reader at the end. This is a good summer romance read, with all the twists and turns this town and its people take, it will keep you guessing where everything is going. Neve seems to be in a bit of a pickle at the end of this, and does leave on a bit of a cliffhanger.
