Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for the opportunity to read this book.
This book is about Molly, who works as a mermaid in an aquarium of Turtle Island, along with her puppy Ursula, when suddenly everyone wants to pair her with Max, the new director of the aquarium.
This is small town semi-clean romance. A nice reading for summer.

I love Teri Wilson's work! All of her books have a definite Hallmark-y feel and leave you feeling happy and optimistic after you finish them. I need this in my life!

A Line in the Sand is an enemies-to-lovers romance that involves a lot of adorable dogs and amazing sea life. Max returns to the island to take over running the aquarium so his Uncle Henry can enjoy his golden years. He jumps in without having the greatest of understandings of the inner workings of the aquarium and its employees. One of his first acts was to fire Molly the Mermaid and her little puppy pal Ursula. BIG MISTAKE! Molly is the darling of the island and a vital employee at the aquarium. The islanders don't like the man who picks on their Molly!

Max has a lot of realizations to make and he discovers a lot of things about himself in the story. Apart from the great people interactions, we get to learn a little about sea turtles and seahorses! I loved it! More drama comes in when we learn the aquarium is borderline bankrupt and Max has to figure out a way to save it. Can he do it alone or can he sweet talk a certain mermaid to help?!

Thanks to Netgalley, @teriwilsonauthor, @sourcebooksfiction and @sourcebookscasa for the eARC!

✨ PRINCEMAN REVIEW ✨

Debate question: Are animals support for us humans, or are we support humans for animals?

A Line in the Sand by Teri Wilson had me thinking about this a lot! I instantly wanted to read this book since a Cavalier King Charles was on the front. 🐶 I was cracking up 😂 the whole time because Ursula, the dog in this book, reminds me EXACTLY of Prince! I can tell Wilson owns a Cavalier because they are super "needy" dogs.

📝: Half of Molly's heart and soul lies with the aquarium in her small-town beach community. The other half is with her King Charles Cavalier.

Max is new to town as the aquarium's director. He's feeling the pressure of financial issues, and cuts Molly's job due to budget cuts. While they may not see eye-to-eye, saving turtles 🐢 is something they can both agree on. Can they work together to save the aquarium?

What I 🤍:
🐶 Ursula, the Cavalier
☀️ Grumpy x Sunshine Troupe
💕 Lighthearted, Fun Read
🧜‍♀️ Aquarium/Coastal Setting
👵👵👵 Meddling "OG Charle's Angels"

This was such a fun read! It was pure escapism offering a sweet, clean romance. 💕 I absolutely adored all the side characters in this novel. The 3 meddling ladies were the best matchmakers and brought all the fun shenanigans! 😂

Prince's Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Steaminess: 🔥 (Kiss)
Read if ➡️: You need a light, sweet, escapism read. Perfect to read after reading a scary thriller.

Overall, I loved the setting and plot line. This would make the perfect Hallmark Movie. I did feel like the chemistry was lacking between the two main characters. Molly felt a bit immature for someone in their late 20s and Max came off hot/cold too much for me. This is a miscommunication troupe, so it's perfect who love that storyline.

Thank you to @sourcebookscasa and @netgalley for a free copy of this book!

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the book

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for providing the ARC.

Just like with the first book in this series, A Line in the Sand is the perfect easy summer romance. There's very little in the way of plot, but a whole lot of sugary sweet fluff that could bring a smile to anyone's face.

Complete with an adorable tracker dog, a touch of enemies to lovers, a sea turtle hatching date, and an aquarium to save, this books was a delightful read. The only complaint I would have is about the pacing. Some parts felt rushed, and some parts dragged, but most of all was the abrupt ending of the book. Other than that, I really enjoyed reading this installment in the Turke Beach series.

What a fun new book from Teri Wilson! I loved returning to Turtle Bay for Max and Molly's love story. This one was a little slower than A Spot of Trouble, the number of interrupted potential kisses was a little high for me. My favorite part was actually a tender conversation between Molly and her Father near the end. Much like the first book the OG Charlie's Angel's kept up with their crazy schemes, those old gals really know how to get a couple together! It's sweet, it's fun and it's a perfect beach read for the summer! If you love mermaids and a good romcom, definitely check this one out!

This is the second in the Turtle Beach series. I love when there are elderly characters cause they just don't have any qualms about pushing things to go the way they think they should. They are usually right so listen to your elders.

Ursula the puppy was such a huge character from the start. She's a conversation starter, a problem solver, a matchmaker.

I loved the enemies to lovers romance between the mermaid entertainer and the new Aquarium director, Molly and Max. I loved his uncle's motives for getting him to move to the island to help him save the aquarium. Also her dad's motivations for being so hard on her and trying to get her to go back to school for her PhD.

I want to eat all of a Violet's yummy treats and be in her yoga class.

I loved the sea turtle project and who was helping find the nests. I've always been fascinated by watching the babies find their way to the sea.

Thank you sourcebookscasa and netgalley for the e-ARC for my honest and voluntary review.

When marine biologist Max takes over his uncle's small-town aquarium, it's just barely getting by. He feels like he has no choice but to fire mermaid-costumed Molly (along with her lobster-costumed cavalier King Charles spaniel puppy). He doesn't realize how integral Molly is to the attraction's success. When the two turn out to be neighbors, sparks fly between them. Can they get over their initial prejudices?

This book is every bit as cute as the cover. I just want to take it in my arms and squish it like a plush toy. Molly is quirky and fun, Max is nerdy and cute, and the townspeople are a hoot. If you're looking for a smart, fun, heartwarming summer romance, look no further.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

As soon as I saw the cover I just knew I had to read this book!

A Line in the Sand was a cute and quirky story, perfect for when you want just a light read. It has a small town, cute dogs and turtles! Couldn’t ask for better!

I loved everything about the premise but after that things fell a little bit too flat, specifically the romance that just wasn’t sitting right with me. Unfortunately I had a hard time connecting with the characters, specifically Max, who I think was a bit too harsh on Molly. Their chemistry was a bit off.

But Ursula the puppy stole the show and made me forget about all that!

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Rather cute rom-com, especially loved Charlie's Angels. Nothing really made it spectacular but it was cute and fun, if that's what you're looking for!

This book is about a girl named Molly who works as a mermaid at the local aquarium/marine animal rescue that specializes in helping sea turtles. Molly’s little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy Ursula goes everywhere with her and even works at the aquarium in a crab costume. That is until Max the aquarium’s new Director fires her and Ursula stating that they are “scientifically insignificant.”
The town is upset, and make life really hard on Newcomer Max not to mention he starts to realize how much Molly did for the benefit of the aquarium. It’s not long before he’s begging her to come back.

When I first saw the cover of this book I knew I had to read it! It was a quick and easy breezy read for me. It was a cute story and I loved watching the town rally around Molly after she is let go. Max is a brainiac and can’t always see that sometimes fantasy adds to the magic of real life. The ending of the book is exciting when they discover Ursula’s secret talent. I love all the work that the town puts in to helping Sea Turtles. Something that was missing for me was the connection between Max and Molly. I just never felt the spark between the characters.

If your looking for a sweet romance that was made for an animal lover this book is for you ❤️

Thanks to @netgalley and @sourcebooks for the #gifted ebook in exchange for an honest review

This was a cute beach read. The characters were likeable and the setting was quaint. A lot of it seemed a little implausible but the overall story held my interest and kept me reading. The romance itself didn’t really work for me. It was hard to believe and barely came together at the end. Recommended for a fun beach or vacation read.

Rating: 3

A Line in the Sand was an okay read. While, there were several moments I enjoyed the romance just really wasn’t my favorite.

This is the second book in the Turtle Beach series but can absolutely be read as a standalone. It is dual POVs of the main characters as well and has some great tropes like: opposites attract, a small town, slow burn and slight work place romance.

The premise of the story was quite enjoyable and well written. I loved the aquarium, the turtles, the doggies, and all the meddling old folks.

The romance on the other hand just felt very underdeveloped. There was really no emotional connection between the main characters and while they did have some cute moments, I just didn’t understand how they got to the “I love you stage.” So I did have a hard time just believing in their romance.

The last few chapters and ending were quite rushed as well, but there was still a heartwarming conclusion. I will say though, I would have liked an epilogue. Overall, just a quick and lighthearted read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is Book 2 in their series but very very similar to book 1. I loved that the previous characters and senior citizens were still a heavy part of the storyline but I felt like the meet cute was a miss for me. If the male MC grew up in this town then he would have known not to swim where he did. Also, the miscommunication trope didn’t feel necessary, I would have loved just a good clean romance. 3.5 stars.

This is the PERFECT beachy, summer read.

If you’re a dog lover or a turtle lover, you would be obsessed with this book. Right from the first chapter, I was intrigued. We are quickly introduced to the most adorable cast of characters (a mermaid, a dog, the cutest group of octogenarians). This is a cute and fun read. There were so many scenes that gave me warm, fuzzy feelings.

If you’re into spiceless romcoms, beachy summer reads with lots of cute dogs and the most lovable cast of characters, do check this one out!
This is hands down, one of my favourite arcs that I’ve read.

I enjoyed this book. It is light and fun and full of heart and cuteness. A great choice for by the pool, at the park or just when you simply need an infusion of happy feels to boost your mood. Max and Molly kept me entertained and brought a smile to my face.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

If you put a dog on the cover of a book, I will pick it up and read it without even reading the blurb. I am a sucker for cute dogs. This book was cute. It was fast-paced which I enjoyed. I also loved the opposites attract/enemies to lovers trope throughout the book. I will say it, Ursula was hands down my favorite character. The writing was spot on. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

A Line in the Sand by Teri Wilson is the second book of Turtle Beach. Molly Price plays a mermaid at the aquarium. While in costume, she rescues a man from drowning at the dog beach. This man turns out to be Max Miller, a marine biologist who is studying sea turtle mating habits for the aquarium’s turtle preservation project. He is also the new aquarium director. Molly and Max clash when he fires her because the aquarium is underfunded. The community of mostly seniors and dogs band together to show Molly and Max that they are meant to be together, and to save the aquarium and sea turtles.

This is a cutesy story perfect for Hallmark Channel. I thought the dogs—especially Molly’s dog Ursula—were a really nice touch. This is a good light summer read.

I thought this was a really cute romance book. I liked how the drama didn't completely consume it and I really enjoyed the main character.
