Wild Tides by Annie Dyer

 💖💖💖💖💖/5




Wild Tides by Annie Dyer, book two in the Puffin Bay series, written in first person from an alternating dual POV, is a beautiful friends to lovers, surprise pregnancy romance. This is Fleur and Thane's journey that was a long time coming. When Fleur comes to her senses, and escapes from the biggest mistake of her life, but she should have made some checks before fleeing on a boat that would run out of fuel. Then there’s Thane, the big, handsome, shy lighthouse keeper, on hand to save her. Not wanting to go home Thane offers her a room at the lighthouse for a few days, and she is not going to turn him down. Thane was such an enigmatic character, he keeps to himself, lives in a lighthouse and fosters rescue cats; there was so much more to him than he shows the world. Neither Fleur nor Thane was looking for a relationship but there is a connection that neither can ignore. One thing leads to another and Thane is finally kissing his childhood crush. The compassion they have for each other, the chances they take, their banter, the sweet swoon-worthy moments and the steam. You could feel the pull between them and kept hoping they could see through all their insecurities to find love with each other. Navigating the surprise facing them has moments that are touching and relatable.

 

Set off the coast of Anglesey, filled with funny moments, small town shenanigans, this friends to lovers story grabbed me, made it difficult to put down, and stayed with me after the pages were done, is a sweet, funny, sizzling and definitely worthy a read. I laughed out loud at some parts and at others could have cried. Neither have had it easy, but when you are willing to open your heart then you might be surprised at what happens. Wild Tides is a captivating tale, which I highly recommend to other readers. I am definitely looking forward to future visits to Puffin Bay and the next book in the series.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
