MY REVIEW:
London Tides by Carla Laureano is the sequel to Five Days in Skye. Like the first book, this was one of those that cause you to leave the housework, switch off your phone, and read late into the night.
Conflict Photographer Grace Brennan returns to London to the life she left behind ten years prior, when she left her fiance without explanation. Will he forgive her and accept her back, or will her past sabotage her future with the handsome Ian McDonald? When second chances fail, will there be a third?
This is the second book in the MacDonald family series and I simply loved it! It is certainly not one of those “cookie-cutter-everything-is-coming-up-roses” kind of book. These characters are gritty and real and you start wishing they could walk off the page. You find yourself rooting for Grace all the way through and you will fall in love with Ian as a man, who is not perfect, but certainly one who finds himself by the end of the book. I really did not know how it was going to end or whether or not there was going to be a happy-ever-after ending. So that I don’t spoil it for you, I am not telling.
Carla artfully draws you in from page one and her characters are robust and real. Carla is certainly an author to watch.
Book Synopsis:
Irish photojournalist Grace Brennan travels the world’s war zones documenting the helpless and forgotten. After the death of her friend and colleague, Grace is shaken. She returns to London hoping to rekindle the spark with the only man she ever loved—Scottish businessman Ian MacDonald. But he gave up his championship rowing career and dreams of Olympic gold years ago for Grace … only for her to choose career over him. Will life’s tides bring them back together … or tear them apart for good this time?
