Review: Yesterday's Tides

Yesterday's Tides by Roseanna M. White
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

Rating 4.5

“How sometimes, when it feels like the wind and the water are stealing those prayers, we can anchor them to something in our thoughts, as a reminder that no one and nothing can really snatch them away.”

I love everything I read by Roseanna M White, and this story just proved again why. There was a mystery or two to solve, a villain or two which impacted the lives of the characters and well-loved characters from prior series makes an appearance.

This was the first dual-time story this author has written, and she executed it perfectly. Through Louisa and Evie, I was taken from the initial stages of the Great War to WW2, from falling in love to heartache and seeing the impact of both wars.

The author’s descriptive way with words grabbed my attention from the very first sentence. The author made me love a romance, dislike a supporting character through shocking disclosures and made me wish for happily ever after.

And I enjoyed linking the present time with the past before the author revealed the events in the timeline of Yesterday.

Fans of Roseanna M White will not be disappointed, and if you still need to read any of her works, this will be a great book to pick up.

About the book:

In 1942, Evie Farrow is used to life on Ocracoke Island, where every day is the same--until the German U-boats haunting their waters begin to wreak havoc. And when special agent Sterling Bertrand is washed ashore at Evie's inn, her life is turned upside down. While Sterling's injuries keep him inn-bound for weeks, making him even more anxious about the man he's tracking, he becomes increasingly intrigued by Evie, who seems to be hiding secrets of her own.

Decades earlier, in 1914, Englishman Remington Culbreth arrives at the Ocracoke Inn for the summer, but he doesn't count on falling in love with Louisa Adair, the innkeeper's daughter. When war breaks out in Europe, and their relationship is put in jeopardy, will their love survive?

As Evie and Sterling work to track down an elusive German agent, they unravel mysteries that go back a generation. The ripples from the Great War are still rocking their lives, and it seems yesterday's tides may sweep them all into danger again today.

Bestselling and award-winning author Roseanna M. White whisks you away to two periods fraught with peril in this sweeping and romantic dual-time tale.
