Beyond the Tides by Liz Johnson

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 inherit it 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 take over. 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, and he's not about to walk away just because Meg wants him to.

Meg's father has the perfect solution: Oliver and Meg must 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.

Bestselling author Liz Johnson invites you back to Prince Edward Island for a brand-new series about family, forgiveness, and the kind of love that heals all wounds.

My thoughts:

I don’t normally read too much contemporary romance novels, but, because I enjoy this authors work, I knew it would be a good and interesting read. It actually surpassed my expectations as I loved pretty much everything about it.  The setting was beautiful and although I didn’t think the storyline of a lobster fishing business would be to my liking, it actually held my attention.

Meg Whitaker and Oliver Ross are quite a pair as they vie to be the one to take over the Whitaker family business as Mr. Whitaker is selling it to care for his wife. Meg hasn’t shown an interest in taking over the business, that is until Oliver expresses an interest.   As much as I liked all the characters, I have to admit to being fonder of Oliver than some of the others.   There relationship is filled with ups and downs and a few things that made me chuckle.

Overall, I thought this was a wonderful book with a perfectly paced, interesting storyline. 

I received a copy from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
