Book Spotlight Fridays! Beyond the Tides

 

Book Beginnings and Friday56


Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader and share a non-spoiler sentence or two.

Firstly, how gorgeous is this cover!


Beyond the Tides




About the book:

When Meg Whitaker's father decides to sell the family's lobster-fishing business to her high school nemesis, she sets out to prove she should inherit it instead. Though she's never had any interest in running the small fleet--or even getting on a boat due to her persistent seasickness--she can't stand to see Oliver Ross take over. Not when he ruined her dreams for a science scholarship and an Ivy League education ten years ago.

Oliver isn't proud of what he did back then. Angry and broken by his father walking out on his family, he lashed out at Meg--an innocent bystander. But owning a respected fishing fleet on Prince Edward Island is the opportunity of a lifetime, and he's not about to walk away just because Meg wants him to.

Meg's father has the perfect solution: Oliver and Meg must work the business together, and at the end of the season, he'll decide who gets it. Along the way, they may discover that their stories are more similar than they thought . . . and their dreams aren't what they expected.

Bestselling author Liz Johnson invites you back to Prince Edward Island for a brand-new series about family, forgiveness, and the kind of love that heals all wounds.

Book Beginnings

Morning had a terrible habit of arriving too early, at least as far as Meg Whitaker was concerned.

Friday 56

Meg hoisted the suitcase out of the trunk of her mom's car, thankful for the muscles she'd gained hauling in traps.  Without them, it might have toppled her.

My thoughts so far

This one has a lot of emotions but really enjoying it.

  1. I imagine there must be a lot of emotions with that kind of backstory! I do love the dad's solution though, very Solomonic and very wink wink, nudge nudge as well! I hope you continue to enjoy it and that you have a lovely weekend :)

  4. That is a beautiful cover! I can't relate to Meg though, as I'm a morning person. :-) Happy weekend!

    1. Stunning cover. I'm also a morning person, but starting at 4am feels a bit early!

  5. My first line comes from Crossed Lines by Jennifer Delamere:
    London, England. June 1881

    Mitchell B. Harris, better known to readers of the Era as Our London Correspondent, leaned casually on the desk of John Munson, toying with his cane while Munson chuckled over what he was reading.
