Tidewater Inn by Colleen Coble, a review and a giveaway:



About the Book: 


Welcome to Hope Beach. A place of intoxicating beauty . . . where trouble hits with the force of a hurricane.

Inheriting a beautiful old hotel on the Outer Banks could be a dream come true for Libby. The inn cries out for her restorer’s talent and love of history. She’s delighted to learn of the family she never knew she had. And the handsome Coast Guard lieutenant she’s met there on the island could definitely be the man of her dreams.

But Libby soon realizes that the only way she can afford the upkeep on the inn is to sell it to developers who are stalking the island. The father who willed her the inn has died before she could meet him, and her newfound brother and sister are convinced she’s there to steal their birthright. Worst of all, her best friend and business partner has been kidnapped before her eyes, and Libby’s under suspicion for the crime.

Libby’s dream come true is becoming a nightmare. Her only option is to find her friend and prove her innocence, or lose everything on the shores of Hope Island.

My Review:

This is the first "suspense/mystery" book I have read by Colleen, and I loved it!!  I honestly didn't know "whodunit" until the very end, which to me means it was a GOOD book!

Libby is dealing with several things at once: finding out that her father was alive until recently, that she has siblings, that she inherited an Inn and that her friend has been kidnapped and she's the main suspect!  That's a lot for one woman.  Alec, the island's Coast Guard Lieutenant, has proven to be very helpful and there seems to be a hint of more than friendship, but his cousin, the police chief is less than friendly.  Who can Libby trust?  Who has taken Nicole and why?  Who will help her find her answers?  As she delves into the murkiness of her family history, she draws closer to God, Alec and even the answers to many of the questions she has about her life and future.

I would definitely recommend this book to others. It's a great, relaxing, clean read that is neither too preachy or mushy.  Pick it up, pass it around and enjoy!
