Title: Tide and Tempest.Author: Elizabeth Ludwig.
Genre: Christian, Historical Fiction, Mystery, Romance, Action/Adventure.
Plot: After making the perilous crossing from Ireland to New York and losing her fiance` on the way, Tillie McGrath had to pick up the pieces of her life and start again. The only problem was that she never forgave herself for the death of her fiance` or the loss of her unborn baby. Now, working as a seamstress and living at the women's boardinghouse she was brought to two years ago, Tillie has her hopes set on opening an orphanage to help the children of New York. But when Captain Morgan comes calling, things take a deadly turn for the worst.
Morgan never forgot the heartbroken girl who left his ship two years previously, and when he learns that her fiance`'s death and the recent death of his ship's doctor are connected, he pays a call on Tillie. Urged on by his rather wild younger brother, Morgan decides to stay in town a little longer to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding these two deaths and the attacks on Tillie. He soon wishes he hadn't - partly due to the increase of attacks, and partly because his brother and Tillie appear to be falling in love. With so much to lose, Morgan must find a way to save everyone because that's his job. Right?
Likes/Dislikes: A very action-packed well paced novel with a mystery element that unfolded beautifully! I quite enjoyed this story, though I must admit that the love triangle between Tillie, Morgan and his brother Cass was annoying. But then again, I always find love triangles to be that way. This is apparently the third book in a series, but you can't really tell.
Rating: PG-14 and up, mainly for reading level and content {mild violence, a past pregnancy out of wedlock}.
