As autumn of 1916 descends upon the once-peaceful town of Sunset Cove, Anna McDowell has great hopes that the excitement of the summer will be over, now that a few of the key players in the rum-running ring have been arrested. But with a daring jailbreak getting the town in a dither again, she knows that the danger hasn't passed for anyone in her coastal hometown.
With a mayoral election keeping tensions high and the authorities busy searching for those behind the jailbreak, Anna has plenty to keep the newspaper busy. But when her sixteen-year-old daughter begins making noises about leaving high school and abandoning dreams of college, Anna realizes that prohibition isn t the only thing she needs to be worrying about.
How deep does the root of corruption run in their town? As she digs deeper, Anna is forced to put the concerns of her own heart on hold in an effort to save some of the people dearest to her.

My Thoughts:
Riptide Rumors is
the second book in the Shady Oak Cove series by Melody Carlson. It was nice to
see reoccurring characters as their lives move forward. Anne is still a strong
heroine, but in this book, we are reading more about Katy, her daughter, as she
begins to spread her wings and prepare to own and take care of her own dress
shop. The plot had a little bit of mystery and numerous twists with romance for
Anne and Katy. While I was invested in the plot and the goings on in the
character's lives, the romance could have been taken out, but I'm sure it needs
to be there to round out the story. I really can't wait to see what happens
between Anne and Dr. Daniel. There romance has been blooming since the
beginning of the series, and I can't wait to see it come to reality. Overall, Riptide Rumors is an okay story if you
read the first story, Harbored Secrets,
but would I pick up the story by itself, probably not. It was just okay. Not
really original or unpredictable.
I received a complimentary copy of Riptide Rumors by Melody Carlson through Celebrate Lit tours, but
the opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Purchase: Riptide Rumors
