My Review: 
This was a great story! I loved reading about the 3 sisters-Maddy, Nora and Emma-as they reunite at their Gram’s cottage after many years estranged. Secrets come out and wounds and bitterness start to heal as they try to communicate and forgive the past.

This book had some clean Christian romance and drama-keeping my interest from beginning to end. I read the story in one night because I loved the characters and story line and wanted to see what would happen next. I laughed and cried… there were alot of emotions throughout this book.

I especially loved the characters Gram, Maddy and Connor. I liked the authors imagery of the restaurant, town and marina-I felt like I was there right along side them at the beach. I highly recommend this summer, easy to read story!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book

Book: Summer by The Tides

Author: Denise Hunter

Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance

Release Date: May 21, 2019

From the bestselling author of The Convenient Groom (now a beloved Hallmark Original movie) comes a heartfelt story of family secrets, forgiveness, and unexpected romance.

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.
