Change has come to Lantern Beach: a new police chief, a new season, and . . . a new romance?
Austin Brooks has loved Skye Lavinia from the moment they met, but the walls she keeps around her seem impenetrable. Skye knows Austin is the best thing to ever happen to her. Yet she also knows that if he learns the truth about her past, he’d be a fool not to run.
A chance encounter brings secrets bubbling to the surface, and danger soon follows. Are the life-threatening events plaguing them really accidents . . . or is someone trying to send a deadly message?
With the tides on Lantern Beach come deception and lies. One question remains—who will be swept away as the water shifts? And will it bring the end for Austin and Skye, or merely the beginning?
My thoughts:
TIDES OF DECEPTION is the first book in Ms. Barritt’s newest series Lantern Beach Romantic Suspense which is set on the island off the coast of the Carolinas that was made wildly popular in her Lantern Beach Mysteries series.
The book is about Skye and Austin who both appeared often in the Lantern Beach Mysteries series. Skye owns a produce stand and has a boatload of secrets that she hasn’t told a soul. Then a child almost drowns and Skye seems to recognize him, but her past has reared its ugly head and she may never know the truth… Or survive to tell it.
Fans of Ms. Barritt will absolutely love this newest book with a most adorable cover and will have to keep flipping pages to find out… Did someone attempt to kill Austin? Who broke into Skye’s RV? Who is the boy?
I knew who the “Bad guy” was pretty much from the start and there were no surprises. I did have to keep reading to find out what would happen next and how it would end. If you like romantic suspense you will love TIDES OF DECEPTION.
