Mystery, Angst, Variety & Romance, Mar 4 2010
By FTLOH - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Returning Tides (Paperback)
I really enjoyed Radclyffe's "Returning Tides" and was surprised that it took me a week to read. Instead of a "can't put down", need to read it in 1-2 days & move on book, I found myself really taking the time to enjoy the storylines of Tory & Reese, Allie & Ashe, Bri & Caroline and the other secondary characters.
Every evening I picked up this book, and got lost in P-Town and the mystery of who was upsetting its balance. I also liked how the writing didn't make it too obvious as to who the stalker was, though I kinda guessed at who he was after early on.
I didn't need the story being primarily focused on Tory & Reese; instead I loved the dynamics of the many characters and the continuing saga of P-Town. I can also see how this book is perfectly positioned to lead into book 7, which I am very much looking forward to.

General Review- story doesn't disappoint, Jan 7 2010
By Lee "Lee" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Returning Tides (Paperback)
I don't want to give a lot away, but here are the basics-
IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE SERIES- If you're browsing for a good lesbian romance to read and you've never read the previous 5 installments of the Provincetown Tales, fear not, you will be able to follow the story and appreciate it. The characters are complex and dynamic and the plot is engaging, I don't like to give a lot of details as to the plot, but as always, this author keeps you turning the pages. Bottom line, it's worth your hard earned money.
IF YOU'VE READ THE SERIES- This is in keeping with the previous five installments, the characters continue to evolve in unexpected ways and are becoming more and more interconnected. If you love the characters it's like checking up with old friends, the mystery surrounding everyone's fate keeps the plot fresh and the pages turning.

Reunited and it feels so good... but not enough focus on the main characters!, Jan 2 2010
By fantasmic - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Returning Tides (Paperback)
I'm a big fan of Rad's work... she's a prolific writer and usually a very reliable read. But I agree with Readsalot, Secrets in the Stone was a bit of a disappointment. But the Rad we know and love is back with "Returning Tides", and so are almost all of the characters from the first five books of her "Provincetown Tales" series... literally!
But first the good stuff, I'm a big fan of angsty romances (as my reviews probably well indicate) and the main one is a doozie. Ash and Allie, the primary pairing, have really hot chemistry together as well as all the drama that comes with seeing each other after having broken up and been apart for a long spell. I very much enjoyed their story and wished Rad had focused more on them rather than trying to squeeze in three "secondary" couples into the book.
And, yes, I know that Tory and Reese anchor this series so I expect them to have a presence in all of the "P-town Tales" books, but to give almost equal time to them as well as the other couples as to A&A is just ridiculous. Maybe it's been a while since I read the prior books in the series and this is how Rad has decided she wants it to run, I honestly don't know. I have to admit that I skimmed through most of the book because, frankly, I couldn't have cared less about the "mystery/suspense" plot and I wasn't interested in reading about the secondary couples as much as the main couple.
To sum up, if you want to read the continuing stories of three of the couples from the prior "P-town Tales" books, then, by all means, pick up "Returning Tides." You'll get Ash and Allie's story as a bonus!! Otherwise, it's hard for me to say that it's worth picking this one up just for Ash and Allie's "short" story... although I am going to re-read their parts of the book now, so maybe it is =)
