"Riptide" by Amber Lea Easton is a gripping and captivating read about the romance between acnhor woman Lauren and screenwriter Noah. Lauren is on holiday on Cayman island recovering from an traumatic 'incident' that happened to her at home. We find out she has been revived but we find out only later the exact nature of her ordeal. Her brother, whom she stays with, is supportive but also a challenge for Lauren's independence. Along comes Noah, with his own complications and past and you have a deep running psychological study of human nature under stress. This is not your usual romance story with a thin plot to keep the lovers flirt and court until they finally get it together, althoughthe romance sections of the book are nicely done.Easton real forte is that she creates strong characters, likeable (and even annoying at times) but very real which makes it rewarding to follow her story. There is also much more to the plot of this book as well as we uncover more secrets.A very rich and powerful story by a very talented writer.
