She struggles with the fact that she believes her feelings are unacceptable.  Can she overcome her insecurities to become the leader she was born to be and discover a life that can fulfill her wildest dreams?Tidal Wave was a lust filled adventure from the beginning.  It had some very funny moments most featuring Alexia's wonderful Gram, I loved her!  Joshua, Alexia, and Anthony set the pages on fire with their intensity.  Alexia is a compelling heroine dealing with this amazing new world with grace.  Each character brought their own issues to the relationship and the relationship makes them better people.  When I read the shifters in this book were dolphins I was skeptical but my doubts were resolved immediately.  There was a romanticism surrounding the story that I absolutely adored.  There is even a bit of danger to satisfy those suspense taste buds.  Tidal Wave is a force of nature to be reckoned with.  I will definitely be sampling the second book of this series.MirandaReviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
