My Review:

Wow! Perilous Tides sucks you in from the opening scene!

You won't see danger coming...until it's too late.

Jo Cattrel has been hiding from an unknown enemy for three years. Now, after a cryptic message from her Pop, she left her haven to find him. However, what she found, or rather what found her, was danger. 

Yeah, she had a feeling she was giving off the wrong vibes.

Cole met Jo last year when she saved his life. Now, it's time to return the favor. He didn't know the person he jumped into the lake to save, but once he saw those brown eyes, he knew who it was.

A silver Lexus sedan had rolled off the Washington State ferry with someone still inside.

Holy cow, the suspense is top-level in this one! I hated having to put the book down to get things done; I just wanted to keep reading. There is a great deal happening in the story. Sometimes in a suspense novel, you have to suspend belief for all that happens, but not here. While it is a lot, and danger seems to be coming from all directions, it totally makes sense.

Synopsis (Amazon):  

Three years after her mother's suspicious death, forensic artist Jo Cattrel is in hiding, working at a storm-watching lodge along the Washington coast. When her father sends her a disturbing and cryptic message, Jo leaves the safety of the lodge to find him. But during the ferry crossing, Jo witnesses a murder--and becomes a target.

More surprising to Jo than being in danger is the identity of the person who steps in to protect none other than her ex, former Green Beret Cole Mercer. Now a private investigator, Cole has been looking into her mother's death. If he can just uncover the truth, maybe Jo can end her self-imposed captivity and the two of them can pick up the pieces and build a future together.

As Cole and Jo search for answers, the past rushes in like a dangerous tide to sweep them away before the truth can be revealed.

In this action-packed thriller, USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard serves up a complex plot and the sizzling romance readers have come to expect.
