A sweet and steamy love story, Tides of Desire is the third book in the Seaswept Seduction Series and focuses on Caleb and Macy. Macy, a doctor who is new to town, is working hard to build her career and reputation during a time when female doctors aren’t widely accepted. Strong, capable, and sure, Macy knows Caleb is the one for her. She just has to convince him that she’s perfect for him.
A gifted boat-builder and artist, Caleb is the middle of the Garrett brothers. Though he is drawn to Macy from the moment she kissed him, he doesn’t feel like he is good enough for her. He continually fails to see his own worth. He’s known for being a hothead, and he often uses his fists to solve his problems. Caleb is also loyal, loving, and self-sacrificing, constantly putting other’s needs and happiness ahead of his own. He doesn’t realize what an asset he is to his family and community. He also doesn’t realize how deeply he is falling in love with Macy.
This is a quick and lovely story, and the romance progresses rapidly. Macy and Caleb form a fast connection, and their passion for each other is explosive. Though the story is shorter than the other two in the series, the characters are dynamically developed, and the love story is as wonderful as the others. I love how Caleb and Macy confide in and trust each other from the start. They share things with each other that they never shared with anyone else, which highlights how connected they feel. Their romance definitely has love-at-first-sight vibes, and it is fantastic!!!
I love historical romances with men who support and fight for female empowerment, and this idea is at the center of the series. Like his brothers are with their spouses, Caleb wholeheartedly supports Macy’s career and personal goals. I love how determined Caleb is to help Macy achieve. The Garrett brothers lives have been irrevocably changed by three independent and fierce social reformers, and the men all know they are better for it. It says so much about their characters and the deep love each has for the woman he loves. Garrett brothers for the win!!
I really enjoyed this story and the series as a whole. The themes of love, forgiveness, the bonds of family, and more make for a heart-warming read, and the romance is spectacular! Thanks so much to Tracy Sumner for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

This is the third book in the Garrett Brothers Series. It was a quick and cute read!
This story is about Caleb and with whom he finds love. I thought it would be the same young lady from the first two books, but that apparently ended without mention during book two.
This story didn’t go into too much depth, more novella type length. Caleb and Macy like or lust for each other from the get-go and it all takes place during Christmas time.
I think this was, even though shorter than book two, a bit better, that’s why the 5 stars.
