I am always happy to find a new author and that is what I found in Spring Tides and Jill Allyson Keene. Beverly Winslow has earned her own way and made a success of her business, Atlantic Charters. Her mother, Reggie, came from a very wealthy family, but was disowned by her father years ago. When Reggie’s father passes away, he bequeaths the majority of his assets to Bev. Her grandfather’s lawyer, Finn Callahan, contacts her with the news of her inheritance which she at first refuses. She eventually agrees and begins to enjoy the wide scope of the business and working with Finn. When she survives the first threat on her life, Finn is determined to keep her safe. Bev is an enjoyable character as she makes her way from her charter boats to the boardroom. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)
