De: Colleen Coble

Narrado por: Devon O'day

USA TODAY bestseller! In the first book in Colleen Coble's Hope Beach series, inheriting a beautiful old hotel on the Outer Banks was a dream come true for Libby . . . until her newfound siblings accuse her of stealing their birthright, her friend is kidnapped, and she's blamed for the crime. Perfect for fans of Terri Blackstock and Dani Pettrey.

Libby can't believe her luck when she learns she has inherited a beautiful old hotel on the Outer Banks. The inn cries out for her restorer's talent and love of history. She's delighted to learn of the family she never knew she had. And the handsome Coast Guard lieutenant she's met there on the island could definitely be the man of her dreams.

But Libby soon realizes that the only way she can afford the upkeep on the inn is to sell it to developers who are stalking the island. The father who willed her the inn died before she could meet him, and her newfound brother and sister are convinced she's there to steal what's rightfully theirs. Worst of all, her best friend and business partner has been kidnapped before her eyes, and Libby's under suspicion for the crime.

Libby's dream come true is becoming a nightmare. Her only option is to find her friend and prove her innocence or she'll lose everything on the shores of Hope Island.

The Hope Beach series includes Tidewater Inn, Rosemary Cottage, and Seagrass Pier, but each can be read as a standalone.

Tidewater Inn

Very exciting and easy to listen to
Well written and descriptive with detail and emotional involvement.

Great!

Feel good mystery with a bit of romance. Well spoken with good distinction between characters.

Great twist

The twist was great at the end. Keeps you guessing. The performance was ok. Came off a little whiny but got better as it went along

Mystery & Love - A killing combination!

When a hard working woman finds she has inherited her family home - a home & family she knew nothing about - she finds many secrets. Some of those secrets were worth killing to keep!

Narrator ruins the story

Good story, but the narrator make the lead female into a whiny mess. Her voices for the other characters is fine, but I wanted to faceplam every time the lead character’s voice came on. Also, there were time when the narrator rushed through sentences to a new scene, which made things a little confusing. There is a strong Christian theme, so if you don’t like that, this is not the book for you

Loved the mystery pirate hunt in caves!

I disliked the voice of one of the male characters- scratchy & weird sounding. It was so bad it was distracting from the storyline

Wonderful!!

Where does Tidewater Inn rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is a great book. I can always count on Colleen Coble for a great story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Tidewater Inn?

I loved it when the sisters finally came together and started to have a relationship.

What does Devon O'Day bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

One of the best narrators I've ever listened to. Her voice was soothing, she reminded me of listening to my Grandmother reading to me.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes I would fall asleep from pure exhaustion trying to stay awake to listen to the whole thing.

The characters

The whole story line was a fabulous and I did love it so very much!

Disappointed

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No, not the audio book, I didn't like the performance, failed to receive the "gotcha" that creates empathy for the two main ladies. Felt it was too whiney and wimpy even.

narrator

The narrator did a plausible job on all voices except that of the lead female character. This woman of courage and character had a self pitying whine for a voice.
