She returns to London hoping to rekindle the spark with the only man she ever loved—Scottish businessman Ian MacDonald.

Note: I received this book as part of the London Tides blog tour from Radiant Lit.  I received no compensation for this review and only received a copy of the book for review purposes.

I truly enjoyed this author, I have read both the books (London Tides and Five Days in Skye).  The author has a way of putting you right into the lives of the characters she has created.    

In her second book London Tides, she directly deals with PTSD, something that most people just don’t understand.   Carla Laurenao, has done a wonderful job of showing us how it does affect a person. 

After reading her novels I know why these books have won awards, she is an excellent author.  I like the fact that the author lets the characters rely on God, and brings Him into the story line.

In her book London Tides, we find the characters Grace (who is suffering from PTSD) and Ian, in this story we wait to see if Grace will put her career ahead of romance once again. 

This book is an easy read, one that the reader will not want to put down.

I look forward to more books from this author.  This book comes highly recommended.

From The Start

Kate writes romance movie scripts for a living, but she's stopped believing “true love” is because in real life real life. Kate was hurt bad by her last love, Kate is thrown into situation with former quarterback Colton Greene, former NFL quarter back and is asked to write his biography.   Could a new friendship Colton Greene renew her faith?

This is a good novel.  It was fun to read, easy to relate to the characters. The author brings you to situations that all of us have had to deal with in our lives.
