I've now read every book (few of them though they are) that M. Ruth Myers has published, and I loved them all.(That said, her books are not to be confused with Great Literature.  Great Literature keeps you thinking about the characters and/or the ideas presented, long after you finish reading it.  That's not the case with this book.  But for a summer adventure/romance novel, it's one of the best).Like all the author's other books, Whiskey Tide features a strong female lead set in pre-War America (Whiskey Tide was actually set during prohibition).  With her family facing certain ruin, the main character sets out to be a rum runner.  Naturally, she finds a handsome sailor to help her who comes from "a different world," ie, a different social and economic class.It's extremely well written, the characters are strong and believable, there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing.  All in all a wonderful book!
