Description
From the bestselling author of The Convenient Groom (now a beloved Hallmark Original movie) comes a heartfelt story of family secrets, forgiveness, and unexpected romance. A summer of low tides could expose years of family secrets. . .
One of Southern Living's “25 Beach Reads Perfect for Summer” and Woman's World's “Best New Books”
When her grandmother goes missing from the family beach house, Maddy and her estranged sisters converge in Sea Haven, North Carolina. Being with uptight Nora and free-spirited Emma in the home where their family broke apart is a struggle Maddy is not in the mood to face, especially since she's recovering from her ex-boyfriend's recent betrayal.
As the sisters wait for word of their grandmother, they begin to pack up the family belongings--and unpack memories of the idyllic summers of their childhood. But with those memories come long-buried secrets, and Maddy discovers that all was not as it appeared that last summer in Sea Haven. Meanwhile, Gram's neighbor, Connor Sullivan, seems overly interested in Gram's whereabouts. Maddy is drawn in by his quick smile and steady gaze in spite of herself.
Undercurrents of jealousy and resentment threaten to pull the family under again, maybe for good this time. As tensions rise, the sisters must find a way to accept each other for the women they've become—and Maddy must decide if falling in love again is worth the potential heartbreak.
- Stand-alone novel by a bestselling author
- Engaging mix of mystery, drama, and romance

Praise for Summer by the Tides:
"Denise Hunter once again proves she's the queen of romantic drama. Summer by the Tides is both a perfect beach romance and a dramatic story of second chances as sisters unravel secrets that have torn them apart for years. This novel is Hunter at the top of her game. If you like Robyn Carr, you'll love Denise Hunter. I couldn't put it down!"—Colleen Coble, USA Today bestselling author of the Lavender Tides series

Featured Reviews
Sue G, Reviewer
SUMMER BY THE TIDES by DENISE HUNTER is a romance novel in which the author digs deep into each character, uncovering their flaws and strengths. We see how keeping secrets, even if the motive seems right, never pays out in the end, and it is only when we allow the truth to come out that there is a measure of freedom. Of course, true freedom only comes when we hand everything over to the Lord Jesus and walk in forgiveness and truth with one another. I like the way Emma says that it is easier to forgive someone who has hurt you than it is to trust them again!
When the three Monroe girls, Maddy, Emma and Nora, rush to Seahaven to look for their Gram, who seems to have gone missing, they are all hiding something. When their Gram comes back they find out that she and their parents were also hiding things from them. Will they each be able to let go of their sense of betrayal, or will the past continue to hold them captive?
In spite of the seriousness of the issues addressed in this novel, there is a lightness about it and a sense of hope and redemption. I can highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good romance with a meaningful story.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
