Blood on the Tide by Katee Robert
From New York Times bestselling author Katee Robert comes another example of spicy romance at its finest — Blood on the Tide.
As the second installment of Robert’s new Crimson Sails series, the story starts off right where Hunt on Dark Waters ended — but while the first book followed the witchy Evelyn and the stern captain Bowen, Blood on the Tide shifts focus to Lizzie, Evelyn’s ex-lover.
Dangerous Alliances
Lizzie, the murderous bloodline vampire, came to Threshold for one purpose: to get back the family jewels Evelyn stole from her and return home. That goal hasn’t changed in the months she’s spent sailing with Evelyn and her rebellious companions, and Lizzie grows more impatient each day sailing on treacherous waters.
So when she meets Maeve, a selkie trying to track down the man who stole her pelt, Lizzie is quick to strike a bargain. She’ll help Maeve reclaim her pelt if Maeve helps guide her through Threshold to find the Cŵn Annwn ship that has her jewels.
What begins as a tenuous partnership and a faint spark of attraction quickly escalates, despite the potential heartbreak — especially when Maeve discovers Lizzie’s all-too-pleasurable vampire bite. But hunting the Cŵn Annwn isn’t an easy task, and there proves to be more at stake than a broken heart…
Insanely Hot and Tender
Those who love a good grumpy/sunshine dynamic will fall head over heels for Lizzie and Maeve. And readers will find plenty of heart-racing, swoon-worthy “touch her and die” and “would burn the world for her” moments.
Theirs is a romance that is both insanely hot and tender. You’ll simply melt in your seat as Lizzie and Maeve slowly open themselves up to one another, revealing their most vulnerable parts. Maeve turns out to be stronger than the sad, helpless selkies of legend, and Lizzie is more capable of compassion than she ever thought possible.
I didn’t think it was possible, but Blood on the Tide is one of the rare examples where the sequel surpasses the first book. Katee Robert has outdone herself, once again proving to be the Queen of Spicy Romance. If you haven’t read it yet, run — don’t walk — to snag a copy of Blood on the Tide. You won’t regret it.
