Summary: I can't believe how awful this book is
Review: I came to this site about 10 chapters in, just to see if anybody else felt the same way I did about this book. Thank god I'm not the only one who thought this book was awful! I found it had no flow what-so-ever, I found her writing style very hard to follow, the characters meant nothing to me, and I did'nt really care what happened to them. I finally could not take it any more and skipped ahead to the end to find out who the stalker was - just to end my torture. I have never read a Catherine Coulter book before (this one was given to me by a friend) and I never will again! DON'T WASTE YOUR VALUABLE TIME!!

Summary: I thought this books was excellent!
Review: I completely disagree with the other reviews. This story was well thought out, and very funny. The characters were believable and the romance was not gaudy. The ending was very well planned, and I love this book.

Summary: What?
Review: I have never read dialogue so contrived in my entire life. The tension between Adam and Becca had not point of origin. The tension between Adam and Tyler was stereotypical, to say the least. The way the author ridded the characters and reader of any residual guilt/frustration/regret in regards to Tyler was totally unrealistic and disgustingly half-hearted. Such a cop out! The entire "love" story was based on notions of "Gee, you're hot! I wanna have sex with you! We must be in love!" When, at a rather crucial moment Adam said "Even my molecules are horny" I stood up, threw the book across the room, and laughed for ten mintues straight. I didn't keep it or sell it; I threw it in the bin where it belongs. It was utter trash.

Summary: A big disappointment
Review: I'm a big fan of Catherine Coulter, but when I attempted to read this book, I was very disappointed. I didn't like the way the wording of the story was written; sometimes it seemed to jump to different points in the story without a smooth transition. I made it to chapter 7 before I finally gave up and went to the last chapter to figure out who was stalking her. In my opinion, not one of Catherine Coulter's better stories.

Summary: More than Minus tide
Review: Take a look at the reviews for any of Coulter's FBI series and the comments are all pretty much the same. She is the author people love to hate.
If you are looking for an excellent writer that can keep you in suspense while using very descriptive language that adds to the enjoyment try Michael Connelly for one. No slang expressions here that sound like some teenager's writing and the FBI agents sound like FBI agents. They don't drag their 6 month old baby on the job for sure.

Summary: Not Good at All-Couldn't Get Through It-Dumb!
Review: The beginning was fine. But after that, it all lost me. Becca has a stalker on her tail, so she takes off for Riptide Maine.
When she gets there,she finds a house to buy and moves in, and it is there that she finds a strange skeleton in the basement.
The story then just poops out from there.From that point, comes all these other characters that are strange. It makes you say, "What?" I couldn't find it worthwhile enough to even continue, and just quit. When you're reading and the story isn't making sense as this one didn't, why continue? Don't waste your money!

Summary: A minus tide
Review: This certainly has mixed reviews. I fall in the negative category. It was all I could do to finish. During the reading of this fairy tale I can't help but wonder why the author doesn't follow her own theme. First Becca is on her own, no one believes her, then she is totally believed and surrounded by agents watching her every move. They all wear kevlar vests to storm an empty house, except for the corpse of course. Then when they figure the badman is going to spring on them any minute they go for a 3 mile run in the fresh air. A house full of armed agents and the bad man still waltzes in and does what he wants. Where were the kevlar vests then? And one Zippo lighter manages to ignite cloth while everyone is trying to stop him? I could go on and on but you get the message. That's it for this author. Don't we all wish for that magic computer that can just get into everything and find out everything?

Summary: A Very Good Read!
Review: Though, in some points the characters weren't develop as I would have liked, the story captured my attention. Not as good as her book "The Edge" but it will still keep you reading. Becca Matlock is at top of her profession, she was doing very good when an unknown man started stalking her, warning her that she shouldn't sleep with the governor she was working for. A very frightened Becca Matlock reported this to the authorities who in return didn't believe a word she says. Without any options left, she ran for the safety of coastal Maine, seeking to hide from the stalker as well as the authorities. Riptide, Becca dubbed as her santuary..she felt safe and secure from everything else. She met Tyler McBride and landed with a new twist in her life, never expecting anything else to complicate her life, but this man did---in a form of a quiet little boy and a skeleton in her basement. Already in soaked up with her bad luck, Becca meets Adam Carruthers who adds another twist in her life. With all these complications in her life--Becca needs all the help she gets. Mystifying and electric the story just keeps you interested in the outcome. Mixed with romance, the book itself is a bonus!..a very satisfying read! Alyssa B.
