When Tides Turn by Sarah Sundin

Sarah Sundin's next book in the Waves of Freedom series is out. This third book, When Tides Turn, tells the story of Tess Beaumont and Lt. Dan Avery.

From the Back Cover:
Tess Beaumont is tired of being thought of as just a pretty face. Eager to do her part for the war effort, she joins the Navy's newly established WAVES program for women. Perhaps there she can convince people that there is more to her than meets the eye.
Lt. Dan Avery has been using his skills in the fight against German U-boats and hoping to make admiral. The last thing he wants to see on his radar is a girl like Tess. Convinced that romance will interfere with his goals, Dan is determined to stay the course, no matter how intriguing a distraction Tess is.
But love, like war, is unpredictable. When Dan is shipped out at the peak of the Battle of the Atlantic, he finds himself torn between his lifelong career goals and his desire to help the beguiling Tess root out a possible spy on shore. Could this fun-loving glamour girl really be the one?

My Review:
I enjoyed reading this series by Sarah Sundin.  Her first two books (Through Waters Deep and Anchor in the Storm) provided such fun reading that I was looking forward to getting this third book. When Tides Turn was just as great as the first two.  This book continued the fun story that was begun in the first book, Through Waters Deep, and finally told the story of the beautiful Quintessa Beaumont.  From the start, the book pulled me in, and it was hard to put down. I loved the part of the story where Tess is trying to figure out who among Yvette Lafontaine’s group of French ex-patriates is possibly a spy. The added suspense of a traitor in their midst is great! This time in history was also interesting to read about since women were now able to join the military and help in their own way to fight for their country. The story helps you re-live an era that we can only read about.  If you're looking for some fun reading, pick up this great series from Sarah Sundin!

***I received this book free from Revell.  I was not required to write a positive review.  All opinions are my own.
