review 1: 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... more 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.
review 2: This book flowed so smoothly from beginning to end that I was halfway through it before I even thought about washing my hair! (I like to read in the bath!) It is the perfect recipe for light reading: a cup of intrigue, a pinch of romance, a splash of family drama with a warm base consisting of a close-knit coastal community. I read Tidewater Inn from cover to cover in one sitting and am now well into the next book in the series. I will definitely be looking for more titles by Colleen Coble! less
