The dangerous beauty of Lavender Tides is harboring secrets that reach around the world.
Ellie Blackmore is making a name for herself as a house flipper. But when her sister Mackenzie disappears, Ellie can’t focus on anything but uncovering what happened. Her only clue is the bloodstain on the deck of Mackenzie’s boat. Ellie knows her sister isn’t on the best of terms with her ex-husband, Jason, but he wouldn’t kill her—would he?
Coast Guard intelligence officer Grayson Bradshaw believes Mackenzie faked her own death after stealing a seized cocaine shipment. The problem is convincing Ellie, who seems to view him as the true enemy.
Both Ellie and Grayson want truth, but truth—and family—is often more complex than it first appears. From international terrorism to the peaceful lavender fields of Puget Sound, The House at Saltwater Point is a thrilling race to uncover the truth before it’s too late.
Thanks to my relationship with The Fiction Guild’s Elite Reader Program, I have been very fortunate to be a part of reading and reviewing so many great books. Coincidentally, I had requested an advanced reader digital copy of this book on NetGalley through my book blogging relationship with them. While the request was pending, I received a paperback copy from Fiction Guild sent me!
Today’s book, The House at Saltwater Point is by Colleen Coble, an author whose books I’ve really come to love! The House at Saltwater Point is the second book in Colleen Coble’s Lavender Point series. This book serves as a stand alone, but since I also read the first book in this series, The View from Rainshadow Bay, I was happy to catch up with the main characters from that book and to be introduced to Grayson and Ellie in this one.
Ellie Blackshaw is a local house flipper, who joins forces with Coast Guard Investigator, Grayson Bradshaw, when Ellie’s sister, Mac, disappears. The disappearance seems to be connected with the disappearance of a large shipment of cocaine from a local warehouse. Grayson is firmly resolved to prove that Mac was behind the cocaine theft, while Ellie is desperately trying to prove that Mac is innocent and still alive. What Ellie and Grayson discover is a whole lot more than what they bargained for and it becomes a race against time to keep things from turning deadly.
This story captured me right from the start. There is lots of action and excitement to keep readers engaged throughout this story. As is usually the case with Ms. Coble’s books, the characters are well written, interesting an unique. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series — I read somewhere that it may come out in January of 2019!
