Blog Tour: Book Review: "Tide Ever Rising" by Mandi Tucker Slack

 Welcome! SO glad you could pop by my blog to read my review of Mandi Tucker Slack's new book, "Tide Ever Rising". If you're visiting, I hope you'll come back soon. Make sure you "Join This Site" if you want to keep track of what's going on here at Write On!.

On to the review:

Okay, first off, let me just say: Wow. This story totally impressed me with its great pacing (and yes, that's not supposed to have an apostrophe!). I never felt bored, nor did I ever feel rushed. I was able to follow the characters' journey without ever breaking from the story due to boredom or confusion. It was definitely a book I had a hard time putting down and thanks to my amazing hubby was able to finish it in one day.

I haven't read a lot of romantic mysteries, but I will tell you this: I am converted. I loved having a mystery to try and figure out while also getting to watch the characters fall in love. This book was definitely intriguing and also romantic. I love romance in my books (it's almost a must for me), but I'm picky -- it has to be clean and it cannot be super cheesy! (A little cheese tends to be inevitable in a clean romance book.) "Tide Ever Rising" accomplished both of those things. It was clean and not way cheesy. The love story was sweet and exhilarating. The love interest was lovable and a little swoon-worthy.

I had fun reading this and was happy with the ending (also a must). I am actually thinking about reading it again. I was so grateful for the opportunity to read this book. When I saw it on Cedar Fort's website, the cover totally made me want to read it. FYI the book is definitely as good (if not better than) the pretty cover suggests. It was neat to get to read it as an electric ARC. I am now probably going to go out and buy a hard copy for my clean romance collection.

P.S. Mandi... you rock. And I want to read more of your books!

This book was very much:
