Another book that started out well and went steadily downhill over time. That's been the running theme in the books I've read this year, it seems. The whole setup was weird to begin with -- I don't care if Lane was running a B&B or not, it's just too much to swallow that she'd allow a complete stranger to move in for the entire winter while she's there with him alone, especially when that stranger turns out to be a complete jerk like Michael (ugh, I wanted to smack him so many times).

Her wounds are deep but her strength formidable as she finally settles in Starry Point, North Carolina where she starts afresh by renovating and running a bed and breakfast inn on the beach. It’s a quaint home resembling a castle more than a home and yet Lane has made into a cozy, welcoming home that appeals to every visitor. It’s now the end of the season and Lane’s anticipating time to

Lane is drawn to a mysterious resident of the town who rides a pink bike and hangs about on the dunes near Cloister House, and is known t...
I would have given this book more stars if I could. I could not put it down. I became so involved in the story that I've been reading all day.
A wonderful book that swept me in by the first few pages describing the waves of the ocean, off Starry Point, North Carolina, ebbing to and fro, gave the feeling of being right there. Lane becomes the owner of the Cloister House a bed and breakfast seaside inn. Her adventures with Crazy Mary who inhabits the shoreline and the visitor Michael who was came to weather the storm is captivating. Many secrets are uncovered as the relationships take place and the mystery unravels to find a happy ever-a...
Oof. DNF. So. Many. Cliches. (& generally uninteresting writing)
The wishing tide is a bittersweet story of facing your past in order to be able to move on with life. The main character Lane has spent the last 5 years of her life isolating herself out in South Caroline running a bed and breakfast. When she found herself divorced and trying to heal from a miscarriage it seemed like starting over was the best option for her. Until the fated night when Michael showed up at her door, determined to rent a room from her for the whole winter off season. This is wher...
