Synopsis:~

Following a painful betrayal, Maddy Monroe’s love life is a wreck, and her restaurant career is in shambles. When her grandmother goes missing, she and her estranged sisters converge at the family beach house in Sea Haven, North Carolina. Being with uptight Nora and free-spirited Emma at the place where their family broke apart is a struggle, and undercurrents of jealousy and resentment threaten to pull the sisters under. In the midst of the storm, sparks begin to fly between Maddy and Gram’s maddening neighbor, Connor Murphy.

As the sisters pack up the family belongings, memories of idyllic, slow-paced summers are resurrected. But long-buried secrets also come to light as Maddy discovers that all was not as it appeared that last summer in Sea Haven–nor today in the seemingly perfect lives of her sisters.

As family tensions rise and Connor causes tumult in Maddy’s heart, the sisters must find a way to accept each other for the women they’ve become before the bitterness of the past destroys their hope for a future.

My take:~

Consummate contemporary romance novelist, Denise Hunter, returns with a standalone family drama interwoven with a delightful love story. Hunter never fails to provide readers with a warm and tender read and Summer by the Tides lives up to that promise. As the three sisters wrestle with their prejudices and differences, Maddy and Connor begin a mesmerising dance towards love, while the disappearance of the sisters’ grandmother wreaks havoc upon them all. Reading Summer by the Tides is the perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon.
