Summary

A Tide Worth Turning: Addison and Logan aren't in the market for love. She's recovering from a breakup, and he is hiding out on Galveston Island, trying to save enough money to get back to his country of origin before his world crashes down around him. But when Addison awakens feelings in him that he thought died long ago, Logan begins to question whether or not fleeing from the past is worth leaving Addison forever. Can love triumph where currents are rough?

Message in a Bottle: Kyle loses the love of his life when girlfriend Morgan is whisked away by the CIA in the middle of the night. Almost six years later, two men show up at Kyle's door with news that he has a daughter who is ill. Her only chance of survival lies with Kyle, if he'll fly to an undisclosed island location in the Pacific. But reuniting with his first love and saving his daughter places his engagement to his fiancée, Lexie, at risk. Can love bridge the troubled waters of Kyle's past and present?

The Shell Collector's Daughter: Carianna isn't like other 26-year-old women. She's never been on a date, never experienced the euphoria of a first kiss, and certainly never been in love. Can a man's heart speak to hers in a way that she can understand? And if so, will any man believe that Carianna sings with the angels and has tea with God? Will he see the star dust twinkling in her eyes or hear the secret whispers of the ocean in a seashell? When the right man comes along, will Carianna's father lift his protective wings and allow Carianna to soar into the life that God meant for her?

Christmas by the Sea: Parker McIntyre is late evacuating Galveston Island prior to a hurricane. When he becomes trapped in rising floodwaters, he is going to drown if help doesn't arrive soon. Alexandria Hanson is on her way off the island to escape the immediate storm threat, but she spots a person trapped in the water. Helping the man is going to require great personal risk, but she can't leave him.

Quick, clean stories

I would recommend this collection to readers/listeners looking for very quick, clean romance stories with a Christian influence.

My favorite story was Message in a Bottle. I would have liked Message in a Bottle to be a full-length book with more detail since it was such a unique premise for a story. With the entire collection, there was a lot of "this happened", "he/she thought this" or "he/she just knew" and I would have preferred including the actual events in the story and/or being more descriptive about how and why. I didn't feel very invested in the characters when it was just a mention of a past event or a feeling. For example, in Message in a Bottle, it would have been nice to see the relationship between Lexie and Kyle evolve before he disappeared. It was strange for Kyle to tell Lexie how much Morgan meant to him and for him to tell Morgan how much Lexie meant to him, but without any real events demonstrating how he felt about either woman.

The narration was good, though I liked the narration for some stories better than others.

The Surf's Up Collection

This is a set of four easy to listen sweet and spiritual romance stories. I think the Shell Collector's Daughter was my favorite out of the series and the most memorable. She was a very special soul and the way the author presented her was amazing. Great job on the narration. Thanks Audiobook obsession for the recommendation.

Fun novellas

I loved this set. I enjoy novellas, and having them all available for on credit is a bonus. These were fun short stories. The characters were great to get to know. And the writing was well done. It was entertaining and helped pass the time waiting in line. Would definitely recommend as s light hearted read.
