The Book

Three years after her mother's suspicious death, forensic artist Jo Cattrel is in hiding, working at a storm-watching lodge along the Washington coast. When her father sends her a disturbing and cryptic message, Jo leaves the safety of the lodge to find him. But during the ferry crossing, Jo witnesses a murder--and becomes a target.

More surprising to Jo than being in danger is the identity of the person who steps in to protect her--none other than her ex, former Green Beret Cole Mercer. Now a private investigator, Cole has been looking into her mother's death. If he can just uncover the truth, maybe Jo can end her self-imposed captivity and the two of them can pick up the pieces and build a future together.

As Cole and Jo search for answers, the past rushes in like a dangerous tide before the truth can be revealed.

This action-packed clean thriller set on the Washington coast serves up a complex plot and sizzling second-chance romance that readers of Irene Hannon and Lynn H. Blackburn will enjoy.

Book Review

Perilous Tides is the second book in the Hidden Bay series. While you may see some familiar characters, I do think this could be enjoyed as a standalone without any issues as well.

Elizabeth Goddard never fails to deliver stories that will keep readers at the edge of their seat in suspense... and this one was certainly no exception. This one jumped right into the action from the start, with Jo witnessing a murder and finding herself in danger and being saved by her ex- Cole... and the danger didn't let up from there. Each turn of the page brings more twists and turns to keep you guessing! This is definitely one that you're going to have trouble putting down, with more questions popping up at every turn. Of course, I enjoyed the second chance romance between Jo and Cole, but I definitely felt like the nonstop action and suspense took the spotlight in this one. If you enjoy Christian romantic suspense, this is definitely one you'll want to add to your TBR.
