Tides of Deception

By Christy Barritt

Book Overview

Change has come to Lantern Beach: a new police chief, a new season, and . . . a new romance? Austin Brooks has loved Skye Lavinia from the moment they met, but the walls she keeps around her seem impenetrable. Skye knows Austin is the best thing to ever happen to her. Yet she also knows that if he learns the truth about her past, he'd be a fool not to run. A chance encounter brings secrets bubbling to the surface, and danger soon follows. Are the life-threatening events plaguing them really accidents . . . or is someone trying to send a deadly message? With the tides on Lantern Beach come deception and lies. One question remains-who will be swept away as the water shifts? And will it bring the end for Austin and Skye, or merely the beginning?

Like a Hallmark Movie

Home to Chestnut Grove is a departure from author Christy Barritt's "normal' storytelling of quirky, fun suspense stories, but it was an enjoyable Hallmark Movie-type holiday read (and I enjoy Hallmark Christmas movies!). Faith left her small town community to find fame and fortune on the big stage, and now returns home amid rumors, negativity, and downright resentment from many of the townsfolk. Faith wants to make amends for something her father did, and get the town to accept her back. The one with the biggest grudge against Faith is Jake, who is not town sheriff. Circumstances keep throwing Faith and Jake together, but both are reluctant to talk about the past. As with any sweet holiday read, it has a happy ending.
