My Review: Beyond the Tides by Liz Johnson

The Story (from the publisher's website): 

When Meg Whitaker's father decides to sell the family's lobster fishing business to her high school nemesis, she sets out to prove she should take it over instead. Though she's never had any interest in running the small fleet--or even getting on a boat due to her persistent seasickness--she can't stand to see Oliver Ross in charge. Not when he ruined her dreams for a science scholarship and an Ivy League education ten years ago.

Oliver isn't proud of what he did back then. Angry and broken by his father walking out on his family, he lashed out at Meg--an innocent bystander. But owning a respected fishing fleet on Prince Edward Island is the opportunity of a lifetime, as well as a way to provide for his mother, and he's not about to walk away just because Meg wants him to.

Meg's father has the perfect solution: Oliver and Meg will work the business together, and at the end of the season, he'll decide who gets it. Along the way, they may discover that their stories are more similar than they thought . . . and their dreams aren't what they expected.

My Thoughts:

I forgot I had this book in my review pile and that I had a deadline coming up, but that isn’t the reason why I fairly blazed through this book—it’s fabulous! Contemporary romances haven’t been at the top of my reading list this summer, but if this book is any indication, I’m adding at least one to my reading list for summer 2022, and that’s book 2 in this series. I love enemies to lovers and this book does it very well. I’ll be honest with you, the chemistry between Meg and Oliver is straight up fire. I read a ton of romances in the Christian fiction AND general market genre and I can’t think if a couple that sparks like these two. Yowza! I really liked that this book is quite unusual in the setting as well. Lobster boats are now the most romantic locations on earth apparently. I totally loved the dad, too. He’s a bit ornery, isn’t he? Highly recommend this quick easy romance! Can’t wait for the next book.
