<p>Dr. Bethany McNeal is living her dream as a pediatric resident in one of the most sought-after medical centers in Seattle. Beautiful and intelligent, she’s missing only one thing—love, which she put on hold to focus on her career after ending a tumultuous relationship. Everything changes when she meets Dr. Brent Anderson, a charming and handsome fellow resident. Despite her reservations, Bethany falls for Brent—hard. When she learns Brent is married several months into their relationship, she immediately breaks it off. After graduating residency and going their separate ways, Bethany tries to move on with another man—real estate broker and personal trainer Charles Blakely. But just when things get serious with Charles, she realizes she’s still in love with Brent, and she finds herself caught between the two men, facing a series of difficult decisions and harrowing events that will change her life forever. Will she be able to recover from the vital temptations that turned her perfect life upside down?</p>

<span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Sad but good</strong>, November 26, 2009</span><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"></div> <div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><strong><span class="h3color tiny">By Joanne Harris</span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span></strong> (Amazon Review)<br />This was a very gripping story of love in the face of something tragic. I found myself drawn in by the characters, and the story. I was drawn to the combination of love, loss and over coming life's challenges. I found myself sad then happy several times for the main character, and loved the ending. I enjoy a love story with a twist.  <span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>A new favorite</strong></span><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"></div><span class="crVerifiedStripe"><span class="tiny verifyWhatsThis"></span></span><strong><span class="h3color tiny"></span></strong><div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"></div><span style="font-weight:bold;">By  LT (Amazon Review)<br /></span>Rising Tides is a beautiful and heart wrenching love story that is worth every bit of 5 stars. As will all of Maria Hooley's novels, the story captivates you and is impossible to put down. For Kelly and Tyler love can conquer all. Keep the tissues nearby - they'll be needed. <br /></div>
