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>

Story Behind The Book

Back in my 20's, I had an encounter with a stalker that turned violent. Although my personal story is nothing like what happens in Riptide, it did motivate the emotion and character development. Starting your life over after any kind of catastrophic event is challenging and often daunting. That is what my characters face as they navigate the rough waters of Riptide.

<p>4.5 star review of Riptide from Reading Diva (<span>http://readingdiva.com/2012/08/29/review-riptide-by-amber-lea-easton-rating-4-5/</span>)</p> <div>  <div> <p style="border:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin:0px 0px 1.75em;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:#444444;line-height:21px;"><strong style="border:0px;font-family:inherit;font-style:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;">Review:</strong>  Riptide is a well written modern story that has everything a good Contemporary Romance &amp; Suspense is supposed to have. It has a great plot, one that will make you speculate and will definitely challenge the reader to draw conclusions.  The characters felt as if you were witnessing a conversation between close friends. I enjoyed how well the story flowed and how well the characters were developed.</p> <p style="border:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin:0px 0px 1.75em;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:#444444;line-height:21px;">Both Noah &amp; Lauren have gone through terrible times in their life and all they want is to scape from reality and find peace in the Cayman Islands. But the island is far from being paradise. These two characters have gone through rough situations, I really like how well researched and thought out this story was, great details of scenery, awesome job describing the characters’ moods, feelings and desires.</p> <p style="border:0px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin:0px 0px 1.75em;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:#444444;line-height:21px;">Their differences and the circumstances in life made them more credible and real. The story feels credible because it feels as if it was brought out of the newspaper. Crime, betrayal, romance and trust are just some of the things you will experience when reading Riptide. There is a bit of everything and that makes the story much more entertaining. Expect a few surprises, great characters, romance and true love.</p> </div> </div>
