This book is able to stand alone…I don’t feel as if you lose any information by not reading book one first. You will need to read book two before reading book three. Some of the topics included are abuse, literacy, deceit, and tension after the civil war.

It’s 1865 in Corpus Christi, Texas the civil war just ended and people are struggling with change and acceptance. Will the people in Corpus Christi be able to come together or will they crumble? Can Laura help her sister Carissa? Will Brandon be able to gather enough evidence against Malcolm? Will Carissa lose the baby? Will Brandon and Laura marry?

I am pleased to give this book a five star rating.

Tidewater Inn by Colleen Coble

What a great read. Whenever I am able to read one of Colleen’s books I have such a wonderful experience. I will do my best not to write a spoiler.

You will find the WWJD theme woven throughout the book along with greed versus generosity.

Libby’s father recently dies and she is left an inheritance. On her way to claim it, her business partner/friend is kidnapped. Did Libby play a part in the kidnapping or is it murder? Will Vanessa and Brent ever welcome Libby into the family? Does Alec really think Libby is involved or is he smitten? Can Libby find Nicole before it’s too late? Will Nicole convince Zach to help her off the island? Can a search dog really be of any help? Does Libby finally give in and sell to investors or is there another way?

Well done! I am so pleased to give this book a five star rating.
