Tides of Desire (Seaswept Seduction Series #3)

If you are looking for a fun and steamy novella, look no further. Discover the unexpected passion between two people who are clouded by a troubled past. The love tale unfolds between the strong-willed doctor Macy Dallas and the rough boatbuilder, Caleb. Both begin the novel committed to staying as far away from love as possible, but all that changes as they exchange a kiss that ignites their passion. While Macy is quick to admit her feelings and peruse passion, Caleb is a little bit harder to crack. Macy begins to challenge herself by forcing Caleb to open up to the love she has to offer. Follow their romance as is begins as a spark of fiery passion and develops into something a little less animalistic. As their companionship and love grow deeper, they are forced to reluctantly open up. This was a fantastic read and a guilty pleasure for any one who has found themselves trying to fix a man. Great story illustrated the complications of love and how it unfolds.

As a fan of Tides of Love and Tides of Passion, I have been begging the author to finally get a chance to hear Caleb’s story. The bull in the china shop of this family. And here it is! In Tides of Desire, we are treated to a return of the Garrett grays, the color of the eyes that unites these three brothers, each a uniquely distinct character unto himself. In this stand-alone novella, we have the chance to return to Pilot Isle, the slap of the waves on the dock, the snap of a sail in the salted wind, and the warehouse where Caleb plies his trade. Nothing more masculine, I might add, than a shipbuilder. A masterful storyteller, the author simply delights in reminding us of all we already know about this small town. I knew it was a novella, but I didn’t want it to end. Now I’ll have to go back and read the first two books in the series all over again.

Ill in bed with post-Christmas flu, I reached for this story, having already read the previous two books in the series. The author has had a clever idea; she uses the three brothers of the Garrett family to weave a story of love and romance. Needless to say, all three brothers are drop dead gorgeous. In this story it is the turn of Caleb to take center stage. He is jaded and world-weary, and suffers from the legacy of a wretched childhood. He lacks self-confidence and this is why he feels he isnt good enough for beautiful doctor, Macy Dallas. Will love conquer all? There are trials and tribulations ahead with both Caleb and Macy feeling that they must sacrifice their feelings for the good of the other. Will love conquer all? These books are vanilla erotica and the women are feisty and confident. This story is a very enjoyable romp indeed.

Historical romance is my jam, and this book is a perfect example of it. I love these opposites attract sort of stories, especially when the male lead is in some super-masculine, physical professionenter Caleb Gray, shipbuilder! The woman of his dreams (maybe) is pursuing a career in medicine, and she really wants to keep her focus on that, not on sexy shipbuilders, but fate has other plans.
I really appreciate the work this author puts in to describing the settings and environments in the book. It really makes the story seem more real, more tangible, to me, than when that stuff is just glossed over. And what beautiful settings the author chose, too!
This is one happily-ever-after that Ill probably come back to againand Ill definitely keep following this author so I can read more of her work.

Tides of Love is book 1 in the Garrett Brothers Trilogy, and I enjoyed it so much that I read the other 2 in quick succession. Book 2 is Tides of Passion and book 3 is Tides of Desire. You can definitely enjoy each as a stand-alone, but the characters are so good that I urge you to read them all, like I did. This series is set at the end of the 19th century, a dynamic time period when women were struggling for the right to vote and to be treated as equals to men. The stories take place in a small island town in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The author brings it to life so clearly you can practically smell the wharf and feel the breeze that sometimes blows in off the ocean.

Tides of Desire concludes the Garrett Brothers Trilogy with the story of Caleb, the third of the brothers. Everybody perceives him as the rough and tumble brother whos always good for a drunken scuffle, yet he is also a designer and builder of various types of boats. When Macy, a beautiful young woman who is also a medical doctor, comes to town, Caleb is desperately attracted to her personality as well as her appearance. She is just as attracted to him, which shocks him because he doesnt think hes worthy of her at all. They each see the other clearly, without any preconceived notions. This book is a bit shorter than the other 2 but just as excellent and full of emotion. I thought HEA was poignant and terrific.
