As much as I loved book one， A Barefoot Tide—and I did love it—I think I love this one just a little bit more， if that's even possible。 I loved the beach， the relationships， both old and new， the drama， and the growth that Lilliane continues to experience。 A Dancing Tide seemed to take all of those things to a higher， more intense level。 Book one focused mainly on the relationship between Lilliane and Merrick， which I did enjoy immensely， while this one explores a lot more relationships in Lilli As much as I loved book one， A Barefoot Tide—and I did love it—I think I love this one just a little bit more， if that's even possible。 I loved the beach， the relationships， both old and new， the drama， and the growth that Lilliane continues to experience。 A Dancing Tide seemed to take all of those things to a higher， more intense level。 Book one focused mainly on the relationship between Lilliane and Merrick， which I did enjoy immensely， while this one explores a lot more relationships in Lilliane's life。 Her father's workshop， full of all of his amazing sculptures， takes on its own persona and almost becomes a character itself。 As Lilliane struggles with what to do with the shop and the pieces her dad created， she learns a lot about herself and the people who want to be a part of her life。 I love watching her work through all of that。 A Dancing Tide is the perfect conclusion to this delightful， two book series。 Grace Greene has written a wonderful story with these two books and I highly recommend them。 I thoroughly enjoyed my escape to Liliane's world！ 。。。more

Beautiful Sequel。 Full disclosure up front on this one: I read the book a month ago and somehow forgot to write my review then。 Fortunately， I've been slowing down and I've only read about a dozen and a half books since。 :D This book was a great continuation of a story。。。 that the author originally had no intention of continuing。 But she listens to her fans - including myself - and when we began clamoring for a sequel to A Barefoot Tide due to several unresolved threads at the end of that tale， Beautiful Sequel。 Full disclosure up front on this one: I read the book a month ago and somehow forgot to write my review then。 Fortunately， I've been slowing down and I've only read about a dozen and a half books since。 :D This book was a great continuation of a story。。。 that the author originally had no intention of continuing。 But she listens to her fans - including myself - and when we began clamoring for a sequel to A Barefoot Tide due to several unresolved threads at the end of that tale， Greene eventually wrote this tale as well。 And while I think we could continue in this world for at least one other book， most of the threads that were left a bit too open in the previous book are more fully explored here， and thus if this series ends as a duology， I think that too could work。 But while it *can* *technically* be read first， you really should go read A Barefoot Tide before this book。。。 and then you'll be glad the rest of us begged Greene enough for this book that she finally wrote it。 :D Very much recommended。 。。。more

A beautiful story of family， friendship， and love。 I felt a close connection to the characters in the story and that is because of the wonderful writing of author Grace Greene。 Bring the tissues for this one。 I received a complimentary copy of the book。 No review was required。

Grace Greene once again captivates the reader with her lyrical writing style in A Dancing Tide。 This story allows us to follow Lillianne on her journey as she grapples with the ebb and flow of the changes in her life。 I love the way Greene examines the meaning of family， friendships and what it means to be home。 A wonderful read that will be even more meaningful if you read A Barefoot Tide first。 Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read an advance copy， all thoughts and opinions are m Grace Greene once again captivates the reader with her lyrical writing style in A Dancing Tide。 This story allows us to follow Lillianne on her journey as she grapples with the ebb and flow of the changes in her life。 I love the way Greene examines the meaning of family， friendships and what it means to be home。 A wonderful read that will be even more meaningful if you read A Barefoot Tide first。 Thank you to the author for the opportunity to read an advance copy， all thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

I have loved everything I have read written by Grace Greene！ I just know that when I pick one of her books up to read I am going to be sitting with characters that I am comfortable with。 In the case of A Dancing Tide， the characters are ones I know well and have been anxious to spend time with again！！ It was great catching up with them and I can’t wait to see where life takes them next！！

Another beautifully written book by Grace Greene。 Her words just flow with emotion and feeling from the heart。 The characters are all people who I would love to know in person。 I loved how all these characters truly care about one another; even an ex husband。 Lilliane’s relationship with the 90 year old Merrick is my favorite。 Proof family is not just by blood。 A story of letting go of the things that hold you down from the past and moving into the future。 Thanks to the author for the opportunit Another beautifully written book by Grace Greene。 Her words just flow with emotion and feeling from the heart。 The characters are all people who I would love to know in person。 I loved how all these characters truly care about one another; even an ex husband。 Lilliane’s relationship with the 90 year old Merrick is my favorite。 Proof family is not just by blood。 A story of letting go of the things that hold you down from the past and moving into the future。 Thanks to the author for the opportunity to read an ARC。 All comments are my own。 。。。more

A Dancing Tide is an absolutely wonderful and touching sequel to A Barefoot Tide。 This book is a page turner and had me totally captivated。I so love the relationship between Lilliane and Merrick。 Lilliane’s journey into her future while struggling with her past。 So much love in this very special relationship。 A family is not always made up of blood。 I received an ARC prior to publication and decided to voluntarily review it。

Grace Greene is an author who listens to her readers。 While it wasn't a part of her original plan， she has graced us with a sequel continuing Lilliane Moore's story begun in A Barefoot Tide。 A much requested and much appreciated story， A Dancing Tide allows us to see Lilliane's continuing journey into embracing both her past and her future， not allowing either to negate the other。 It was delightful to again visit with the group of endearing characters who walk this journey along with her， to bro Grace Greene is an author who listens to her readers。 While it wasn't a part of her original plan， she has graced us with a sequel continuing Lilliane Moore's story begun in A Barefoot Tide。 A much requested and much appreciated story， A Dancing Tide allows us to see Lilliane's continuing journey into embracing both her past and her future， not allowing either to negate the other。 It was delightful to again visit with the group of endearing characters who walk this journey along with her， to browse the dusty contents of the shed in Cub Creek， to sip tea under the shade trees in the backyard， as well as to walk the sands of Emerald Isle。 One cannot help but to become completely immersed in Grace Greene's stories。 I would suggest reading A Barefoot Tide prior to reading A Dancing Tide in order to get the most enjoyment from the experience。 I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of A Dancing Tide from the author and her publisher， Kersey Creek Books， without obligation。 All opinions expressed here are my own。 。。。more

A Dancing Tide is a wonderful sequel to A Barefoot Tide。 Grace Greene's readers asked for a sequel and not only did she oblige， she put together the most beautiful， lyrical follow-up to Lilliane's story。This author writes so lyrically and gently that I can almost feel the sea breeze on my face， the sand on my feet， and the water lapping against my ankles。 The beautiful relationship between Lilliane and Merricki continues to deepen and develop in this book， and the reader is quickly pulled into L A Dancing Tide is a wonderful sequel to A Barefoot Tide。 Grace Greene's readers asked for a sequel and not only did she oblige， she put together the most beautiful， lyrical follow-up to Lilliane's story。This author writes so lyrically and gently that I can almost feel the sea breeze on my face， the sand on my feet， and the water lapping against my ankles。 The beautiful relationship between Lilliane and Merricki continues to deepen and develop in this book， and the reader is quickly pulled into Lilliane's struggle in deciding what to do with her father's metal sculptures。I enjoyed this book very much and do believe that Ms。 Greene will find herself yet again asked for another book in this series。 There is so much of Lilliane's expanding world to explore， her relationship with Davis to follow， and of course， the big question of her father's art。 If you haven't yet read this series， pick it up today。 You will be happy you did。 Thank you to the author and publisher for granting my request for an ARC。 All thoughts are my own and happily shared。 。。。more

Bravo Grace Greene！ The continuing saga of Lilliane Moore does not disappoint。 This is a page-turning， do not put down until finished book！ I have truly loved the journey of a not in her 20’s main character who has experienced love， loss and what is the next step in life。 Lilliane has to decide whether to step out of the comfortable and follow dreams she has never let lead her。 This is also a story of finding family and learning that the definition of family is so much more than blood。 Thank you Bravo Grace Greene！ The continuing saga of Lilliane Moore does not disappoint。 This is a page-turning， do not put down until finished book！ I have truly loved the journey of a not in her 20’s main character who has experienced love， loss and what is the next step in life。 Lilliane has to decide whether to step out of the comfortable and follow dreams she has never let lead her。 This is also a story of finding family and learning that the definition of family is so much more than blood。 Thank you to Grace Greene and her publisher for this requested ARC。 This review is an honest and all my own review。 。。。more
