On a Summer Tide Review and Giveaway!


Sometimes love hurts—and sometimes it can heal in the most unexpected way.
Camden Grayson loves her challenging career, but the rest of her life could use some improvement. “Moving on” is Cam’s mantra. But there’s a difference, her two sisters insist, between one who moves on . . . and one who keeps moving.
Cam’s full-throttle life skids to a stop when her father buys a remote island off the coast of Maine. Paul Grayson has a dream to breathe new life into the island—a dream that includes reuniting his estranged daughters. Certain Dad has lost his mind, the three sisters rush to the island. To Cam’s surprise, the slow pace of island life appeals to her, along with the locals—and one in particular. Seth Walker, the scruffy island schoolteacher harbors more than a few surprises.
With On a Summer Tide, bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher begins a brand-new contemporary romance series that is sure to delight her fans and draw new ones.

My thoughts: This may be my most favorite book of Suzanne's yet! I loved the setting of the story, and that it is about three sisters who are very different, who all handle life and its challenges in different ways. I enjoyed getting to know Cam, Maddie, and Blaine, as they work together on the island their dad bought. I think I liked the dynamics of this story so well, since I could relate with growing up as the oldest of 5 children and know that while we navigate life differently, we always have the bond of family to fall back on.
I enjoyed the mysteries that went along with the story as well. Between that and the three sisters, this story was never dull! I look forward to reading the other books in the series.
I received this book from Celebrate Lit. This is my honest review and is in no way influenced by receiving a complimentary copy.

Ever wonder how it got the name Blueberry Buckle? While the batter rises as it bakes, but the blueberries and crumb topping weigh it down. This causes the surface of the cake to buckle…hence the name.

1 egg
½ cup milk
2 cups sifted flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups drained blueberries
