The Lavender Tides Collection (A Lavender Tides Novel, #1)

by Colleen Coble

[Molly J(Cover To Cover Cafe)]

It's been a little while since I read a Colleen Coble novel, and I was glad I took a chance on this one by her. First of all, that cover. Can we say 'cover love'? It's absolutely gorgeous and eye catching, and that alone would have me wanting to read the book. Second, she did a magnificent job on creating a story that will pull the reader straight to the center.

Zach and Shauna are two beautifully chiseled, heart capturing characters. They both come to life among the pages of this novel. Their stories are heart wrenching, and bittersweet. Both suffered a loss, both need each other, even if Shauna doesn't want to trust Zach. When things take a twistful turn, it's edge of your seat and late night reading, trying to see what Ms. Coble has in store for her characters.

Ms. Coble has created a story that is romantic, suspenseful, and inspirational. All things of which make a fantabulous read! Her style is unique, her words wrap you up and keep you hooked until the last page is turned, and the gentle messages from God are entwined with the stories of Zach and Shauna.

This is definitely a book that I will be recommending to all with 4 star praises. It's beautifully moving, and a wonderful start to what's sure to be a hit among her fans! Well done, Ms. Coble!
