Recently I had the opportunity to read Tidewater Inn and was excited to read more from Colleen Coble.  This was a really interesting book that kept me guessing.    The first chapter was already chock full of suspense and surprise….it was that way throughout the entire book.   There was just enough romantic tension to keep things fun.  Like the main character, I’m interested in architecture and old buildings.  I could visualize the locations that were described throughout the chapters.  Sometimes the detail was a little thick but I really enjoyed those parts overall.

The cover of Tidewater Inn is just beautiful.  I can visualize the scene perfectly.  It seems that the story would continue because there were so many interesting characters in this book.

Although I thought the plot would be predictable, the end of the book completely threw me for a loop.   If you are interested in reading Christian fiction that isn’t dripping with cheesiness, this would be a good choice.

The book tour concluded with a giveaway event.  Did you win?

When I love something, I want them in sets.  Are you that way?   I guess my mentality is, if ONE is good, MORE would be better!   For example, let’s start with shoes.  You can’t have a Tieks collection with only one pair.  So now that I’ve tried one pair, I really must have another.  In every shade, perhaps.  My husband’s head got whiplash when he saw me looking, and then I told him how much $$$.  My friend asked me if they were worth it, and at first I thought not….but when I realize how much I wear them, my mind is swayed.  And since this post is about SETS, it’s very important to have a set, not a pair.  Very different things.   I feel that way about books, too.
