Ch: 28

Pg:  410

Genre:  Christian Historical fiction, Christian Historical Romance

Rating: 5 stars

Publisher: Bethany House

 

Yesterday’s Tide is the new dual time standalone novel by Roseanna M White. Set in the outer banks of North Carolina spanning WWI and WWII. I’m not going to lie I loved the WWII setting more than the WWI. While I loved both Evie and Louisa equally as they both were strong heroines in their own right, in which the reader will find out in the end. I do not want to give anything away. However, I’m not going to lie I spent the majority of the book not liking the 1914 hero Remington Culbreth that started to change around chapter 23. However, Sterling Bertrand stole my heart from the beginning.

White does an awesome job of keeping the dual storyline separate and not spoiling either timeline. Till the right moment when both stories come together, and the reader sees how they connect. Which keeps the reader turning the page to find out what happens.

While this one is a standalone novel there are cameos of characters from Roseanna’s previous series. So, there could be slight spoilers to previous series. But to me it just added to the story. Loved seeing characters from the Shadows over England, The Codebreaker series, and The Culper Ring. As Yesterdays Tide kind of connects the three series and the way Roseanna did it is brilliant.

 

I recommend reading at least The Culper Ring and The Codebreakers series first.

Yesterday’s Tides

In 1942, Evie Farrow is used to life on Ocracoke Island, where every day is the same–until the German U-boats haunting their waters begin to wreak havoc. And when special agent Sterling Bertrand is washed ashore at Evie’s inn, her life is turned upside down. While Sterling’s injuries keep him inn-bound for weeks, making him even more anxious about the man he’s tracking, he becomes increasingly intrigued by Evie, who seems to be hiding secrets of her own.

Decades earlier, in 1914, Englishman Remington Culbreth arrives at the Ocracoke Inn for the summer, but he doesn’t count on falling in love with Louisa Adair, the innkeeper’s daughter. When war breaks out in Europe, and their relationship is put in jeopardy, will their love survive?

As Evie and Sterling work to track down an elusive German agent, they unravel mysteries that go back a generation. The ripples from the Great War are still rocking their lives, and it seems yesterday’s tides may sweep them all into danger again today.

Bestselling and award-winning author Roseanna M. White whisks you away to two periods fraught with peril in this sweeping and romantic dual-time tale.
