A good romance book helps get your mind off the stress in one’s life. These days it’s a welcome gift.
In Tidal Love Harleigh has a hard past and is sent by her family to recoup, during which she finds love. This story makes you feel good,and gives you a positive outlook on life. This is why it is the perfect story for today. It takes us away from all the bad and gives us a warm,fuzzy feeling. We all need a good romance book in these trying times. I highly recommend this book!

This was a sweet romance that starts with a holiday fling and turns into something more. There are some parts to Harleigh’s past trauma that were a bit difficult to read and I would have expected her to be going to therapy but I liked her character development and how the author went into the complexities of her story. I also liked Giovani and how down to earth and complex his character was, alongside both Harleigh’s and Giovani’s siblings who added humour to the story. It’s pretty fast-paced and the ending is neatly tied up.

Tidal Love by KM Lowe is a book I absolutely loved reading. Once I started I couldn’t stop till I finished. I must say I freaking love the cover ! I found myself lost in the pages and I could easily relate with what they both have been through . Giovanni and Harleigh both have pasts . Harleigh is trying to heal after getting out of an abusive relationship , her family convinced her she needed a holiday. Giovanni is trying to heal from his ex hurting him. These two have some serious chemistry between them. I loved the character of Lucca as well. Both Giovanni and Harleigh have trust issues, can they overcome their fears and mistrust? There were moments I caught myself tearing up and others I was laughing. Find out what happens next in this absolute must read. I can’t wait to read more from this Author .

Harleigh is absolutely amazing.   She  has come out on the other side of a very rough patch of her life on top. She goes on a long vacation and doesn’t expect her life to change once again, but this time for better.

Giovani has had his share of problems in his life, but when he sees Harleigh for the first time he forgets about everything.

Harleigh showed incredible strength and the ability to move forward with her life and I so admire her for that.  She has an amazing family and they obviously love her.

I loved Luca and I hope we see him in the future.   He brought a fun twist to a book with  a pretty serious back story.

This book was very good. It was the first book that i have read by this author and it won’t be my last. It was a well written story that kept my attention and had me swooning at every turn. Harleigh and Giovani are the main charcters and they were awesome. They had so much holding them back but they fought to the end and were able to to heal and learn together. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and I would recommend this to a friend.

This book was everything and more! As soon as I got started with this read I couldn’t stop myself from being captivated with this read until the very end! This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish and I didn’t want it to end! These characters were amazing to follow and I loved seeing them grow throughout and seeing whether they can overcome their past and move forward into their future. But will their lack of trust sets them off track. Harleigh and Giovani made this a beautiful read that really gives you all the feels, the ups and downs that make this read everything it is and more! I can’t wait to read more books from this author, but until then I highly recommend this book!

I LOVED Tidal Love, by KM Lowe. It exceeded all expectations and I find myself almost at a loss for words. Right off the bat, the writing is intense and intriguing, captivating. I don’t think I was anticipating how much depth the characters would have. I really was hooked from the first page. The storyline was exciting, the kind that you can’t wait to get back to in between the mundane life tasks. The subject matter is at times dark but extremely well written. If I had to, I am not sure I could pinpoint anything I disliked about this novel. 5 out of 5 stars, must read.

Tidal Love was such a good book. Its my first time reading KM Lowe, but I can’t wait to read more. I didn’t want to put it down- literally… read the entire book within 24 hours. I liked that it was more than just a romance story. The story has its fair share of drama, and each character has a background heartbreaking story. While the story tells about Harleigh and Giovanni, we also learn about their brothers and parents. The story is quite graphic and emotional, and might be a sensitive topic, as it has physical, verbal and sexual abuse. But Harleigh breaks free, and her family sends her on a trip to Bulgaria, so she has time to find herself and relax. The little town is pretty magical and the author does an amazing job of describing it. We experience it along with the characters. Both Giovanni and Harleigh have heartbreak in their past, and make them hesitant to trust and love again. But they have an instant attraction and I loved watching their vacation romance blossom. The end of the book turned out somewhat what I expected, although I wasn’t sure of the details. For some it may catch off guard. Highly recommend this book and can’t wait to read more by Lowe. Wonderful author!

Tidal Love by K. M. Lowe was a great read! I feel like with some of the content matter though, there should be a trigger warning. Some people might find the abuse that Harleigh experienced triggering if they have been through it before. Other than that, the story was great and the characters were amazing! I was instantly drawn in, and could hardly put it down once I started reading. This is the first book I’ve read before from this author, and I wasn’t disappointed! I can’t wait to read more in the future.

Loved it! I never would have thought going on a trip to Bulgaria would be a beautiful, peaceful, sexy and relaxing vacation, but I was living for it! Oh my heart! It broke for Harleigh, it breaks for any woman who has to endure any type of abuse. I do think she is a strong woman to be able to take this trip and meet someone new despite going through what she did. Giovanni, had partner issues as well, his not as extreme, but still enough to make any man want to swear off women. The love and support from both families is so beautiful and the story amazing, will suck you right in. I highly recommend for any romance lover, the issues that they have to work through themselves and as a couple is really fun to watch unravel. I really can’t wait to see what happens next!

Tidal Love by KM Lowe. I loved this book. This is not a light read because the lead character has been thru hell and back. Harleigh’s ex was very abusive and trying to put the past behind her has been almost impossible. Going on a vacation is exactly what she needs or so she thinks. Going alone on holiday has never been something Harleigh though she would ever do but she’s trying to be brave. Giovanni is trying to get his life back on track after his ex turned into a back stabbing, cheating, witch. Focusing all his attention on his Hotel in Bulgaria he thinks he is getting over her. When he meets Harleigh he sees that’s she’s been hurt and has a wall up but feels like she might be worth the time it takes to break those walls. Will Harleigh be able to trust and love again or will her past ruin her future? Read Tidal Love to find out!

What a read. I really lost all track of time when I opened this book, I just got lost in it. I love when an author can just catch you from the very start and keep that hold even after you’re done with the final word.
Harleigh, I just love this name, was easy to connect to and feel like you were going through it all with her. She has just left an abusive relationship, and with the help of her family, goes on a vacation where we meet Giovani.
I loved reading about both of these characters and the connections I felt to both and with both were amazing.
I cannot wait to read more from this talented author! All her work has now been added to must read pile!

I absolutely loved reading this book. I felt so connected to the characters of Harleigh and Giovani. Harleigh is trying to heal after leaving an abusive relationship and her family thought it would be a good idea to send her on a vacation. Giovani owns the hotel that Harleigh is staying at in Bulgaria. Giovani was hurt by his ex as well and is still healing from that hurt. When these two meet the chemistry is off the charts. Giovani and his brother Lucca are very welcoming and treat Harleigh well. Can these two put their trust issues and past aside and see where their attraction goes? This is a must read if you want to find out. The author does an excellent job making me feel like I was right there on the vacation with her descriptive detail. I could not put this book down until I reached the end because I had become so invested in their story. This is my favorite book by this author so far. This book is full of romance, healing, emotion, trust, family, and more. I highly recommend this book.

Harleigh is on a once in a lifetime vacation thanks to her family’s generosity. She is moving on to better things while recovering from her scars (physical and mental) from her abusive ex husband. This is her chance to really find herself. She never could have imagined she would love Bulgaria as much as she does. Not only that, she meets Giovanni when she arrives at his hotel. Giovanni hasn’t had the best of luck with relationships either. Neither ones is looking for a romance but they help each other as they get closer?

What a beautiful story of how love can heal people. I hope you will love this book as much as I did.

☆☆☆☆☆
I would love to give this beautiful story more than 5 stars. It is a full length novel, filled with so much love and heartache.
Harleigh Harrison has just escaped a very abusive relationship. Being close to her family, she tries to get her life back on track. Her heart has been so crushed, her smile never reaches her eyes. Unless of course she is with her students. As her brother gives her a month vacation to Bulgaria, she is hesitant to go. Will she have fun?
Giovani Russian has also been hurt. Diving into his empire, he has no time for women. His heart will remain locked with bars around it. Just to keep himself safe from the hurt he has suffered. His hotel in Bulgaria satisfies his need to keep busy. Can these two people get through their failed relationships and give one more try?

KM Lowe is the author of this wonderfully heart wrenching story, of two people taking chances. You can’t help but to fall in love with Harlow and Gioand, let’s not forget Lucca, Gio’s brother. This is a story of two people taking chances to find happiness and love. Beware! You might want to climb into this story and help. I know I did. So many tears were shed on my part. But so worth reading this book. Just to feel hope is available for all who take control back. No spoilers, just warm hearts. Thank You KM Lowe! Book well done!

I just love a sweet little romance that is hidden within a sort of second chance at love storyline. This book was just the best short read for me so far. I love how the author draws the history for the characters. I also like how the main female lead is from a very complex past relationship. This book really highlights that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I really could relate to Harleigh. There were quite a bit more to her situation but her character really is a good example for all who suffer from domestic violence. I like how that author outlined her past so that the reader could really appreciate where she was coming from. I also like how Giovani isn’t really that cut and dry either. I like how both characters are complex and they really compliment one another. I was just so glued to the book I could not put it down. I will definitely read more from this author in the future.

These characters are easy to love as you follow their journey of love. From the start, the way their vibe for one another sweeps you off your feet but also in discovering love between her and Giovanni, she learns more about herself which for me, personally, makes this book worth the read. It’s short and sweet but very relatable from a woman’s perspective. This is the perfect book to crawl up to with the change of the seasons to warm your heart.

Tidal Love by K.M. Lowe a five-star read that will sweep you away. This was my first read by this author, and I do plan on picking up more as I enjoyed the scene setting so much, I could imagine the sea breeze as I was reading, smell the salt in the air. Harleigh Harrison will pull you in, she has a story to tell and she does it well, her past isn’t a nice one, but with a family like hers she is shows promise for the future. Giovani Russi isn’t always an easy man, but when that moment happens he becomes someone that you want to cheer on, want to see get their HEA, I cant tell you what happens as you need to get there on your own, but don’t miss this story, there were moments it wasn’t a five-star read, but overall it really was.

I so completely sincerely loved this book. It had a comfortable flow to it and I hated when it ended. After it ended and I thought about reading I was sad that I couldn’t open my kindle and go back into Harleigh’s world. I really can not wait to read this again in the near future.

My heart broke for Harleigh at the beginning of this story, and her family put it back together for me in the love and support they gave her. I was totally invested in this story about the time she arrived in Bulgaria. First I fell in love with the little town she was staying in and felt like I was there with her in the way this author described everything. Giovanni Russi might very well be up there in my favorite male leads… He was simply amazing even with his understandable trust issues. Then Lucca…Sigh…Harleigh was so blessed to meet these 2 and I can’t say enough about how these relationships were naturally born. They weren’t rushed and felt real in how they progressed both in different ways and for different reasons.

Towards the end as the twists and turns really blew up there were a few scenes that took my breath away and I had tears without even realizing.

I can not recommend everyone picking up this book enough, this was my first read by this author but I promise it will not be the last.

Many thanks to KM Lowe for an amazing story!!

Tidal Love was a really lovely read by K.M. Lowe, I really enjoyed it. I was engaged in the story straight away and I think I most definitely fell in love with the characters Harleigh and Giovani as soon as I started reading about them. After everything that Harleigh had been through I desperately wanted her to find someone who would treat her right and I just knew the moment she met Giovani that he might just be that person for her. I was rooting for them the whole way through.
Alongside the lovely romance story is the wonderful descriptive language the author uses to describe the setting for the story, I really felt like I could imagine what I was reading.
Overall a really lovely story and one that I would highly recommend.

I just knew I had to read Tidal Love the moment I saw the gorgeous cover! I desperately needed to escape through a book and this one did just that. It swept me away with the love and the emotional roller coaster this takes the reader on. Tidal Love is a contemporary romance, and really it is one of those books you just get completely lost in and forget the world around you.
Harleigh has not had it easy and is just now getting her life resettled after leaving an abusive and toxic ex. Her family sends her on a dream vacation and she ends up meeting her dream man, Giovanni. These two will sweep you away with their stories and emotions that they encounter. I loved the way things unfolded and the way the author kept things realistic. I will definitely be looking for more works by KM Lowe because the bonus of reading this book was she is a new author to me and I now get to discover her other works!

This is the first book by this author for me and I look forward to reading her other books. Tidal Love is almost an insta-love type of story, but since the main characters are broken and lost they don’t see it right away.
I like how Tidal Love was written. There is a story behind each character…they just weren’t born super wealthy, having everything handed to them or even an easy life. They all had to work for their current chapter in their lives. This story gives hope to readers that even after tragic events life can go on, happiness can be found.

Tidal Love by K.M. Lowe

I want to give this a thousand stars. I will be looking for more of Lowe’s books because…wow. Tidal Love will have you wishing you were in Bulgaria. K.M. Lowe is an amazing author!

Harleigh, Harls as her brother, Lucca, and Gio call her, is trying to climb out of a dark place. Her family is worried and her brother books her a vacation. She goes alone expecting not to like it, but on her first day in town she meets the owner. The quote I chose for Harls is: “I’m not scared of you, Giovani. I’m actually the most relaxed I’ve been in…such a long time. I like spending time with you. I never imagined I’d be here with someone like you. I thought I would have spent my full holiday hiding away at the pool, but you make me excited to start a new day.”

Giovani, Gio as everyone calls him, finds that he is lonely. He doesn’t trust women like normal, but someone changes his mind about it quickly. Harls stepped into the hotel and changed his life. The quote I chose for Gio is: “We’re having fun, Harleigh. Do you want to know what I think? I think you’re over-thinking things. What we have going on between us is beautiful. I know how confusing these feelings are because I’ve never felt them before. But why waste time trying to analyse everything? We’re in a beautiful country, enjoying each other’s company. We’re adults, and if something should blossom between us, I think we’re big enough to deal with it. So, what do you say we just go for lunch and have a good time? Whatever happens after that, happens.”

I definitely recommend this for romance lovers!

‘Tidal Love’ by KM Lowe literally took me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst I was reading it. I was hooked from the very first page and found myself totally immersed in the novel until the very last page. The dramatic and overly realistic prologue had me gripped and although I found it uncomfortable to read this was due to the authors wonderfully written, honest and descriptive narrative. I was rooting for Harleigh from then on, knowing what she had been through in her past and this was a book I could not put down.

School teacher Harleigh Harrison is sent on an elaborate holiday to Bulgaria over the Summer by her older brother Gavin in the hope that she can rest and recover from her abusive relationship with ex fiancé Martin. Harleigh is apprehensive about her trip but is also looking forward to some sun, sea, and cocktails. The last thing Harleigh is thinking about is meeting a man but having met Giovani Russi as soon as she enters her hotel she can not deny that the handsome Gio catches her eye. Meanwhile workaholic Giovani is happy running his hotel in Bulgaria, and is busy growing his empire. Having suffered his own heartbreak Gio is now enjoying living the life of luxury and is not interested in relationships until he meets Harleigh and suddenly she is all he can think about. As Harleigh and Giovani spend more time together and get to know each other they realise they are both lost souls with pasts which makes it difficult for them to trust again but they also start to realise what they have both been missing out on, love.

I found this to be a really heartwarming and at times heart breaking read but thanks to the authors wonderful narrative the book was also an easy read which flowed well. The storyline centred around Harleigh and Gio, who were both great characters as they were likeable, realistic and relatable. However the secondary characters such as Harleigh’s brothers, Gavin and Sebastian and Gio’s brother Lucca were all fascinating and added to the story. The plot had plenty of drama and suspense and of course romance with a twist near the end which I had not seen coming. I liked how the couple’s relationship had a ‘slow burn’ element despite their instant mutual attraction and that their chemistry came across in the story.

The story was told from two different point of views, Harleigh and Giovani’s and this made getting to know them a lot easier and by being inside their head it made me feel immersed in the story. The authors amazingly detailed descriptions of Bulgaria also made me feel like I was there. Although the book deals with some darker topics it is done so sensitively and within the context of the storyline. An enjoyable, emotional and engaging five star read which I definitely recommend.

Tidal Love by K.M. Lowe

While K.M. Lowe is a new author to me, her writing style feels like a warm familiar blanket. Tidal Love was a great read filled with engaging characters and a wonderful storyline.

Harleigh Harrison is not the same woman that she used to be. After an abusive relationship, she is now trying to find out who she is again. With the promise of a wonderful town and nightlife, her family sends her off to find herself again. But is the sun, sand, and a few drinks all it will take to get her life back? Or will she discover she is more broken than this holiday trip can fix?

Giovani Russi is finally able to focus on the important things in his life, like his hotel and growing his empire. After overcoming the drama that was his ex and everything that entailed, he was ready to coast on smooth waters. That is until he meets Harleigh. Like his hotel, he can see that this beauty has a story behind her walls. Will he be able to help her heal with the beauty of his town and all it offers?

Ms. Lowe brings the reader two broken people and lets us take part as they learn to overcome their pasts and love again. The ebb and flow of this book was so easy. The gradual unfolding of both Harleigh and Giovanni’s stories to their flourishing relationship, Ms. Lowe makes sure the reader is pulled in and entranced. With great dialogue and subtext, the reader also takes the journey with the characters as they learn how to trust again. Not only themselves but other people in their lives. With Ms. Lowe’s attention to detail and stunning description of the story’s location, it surely makes you want to hop a plane to Bulgaria to visit this wondrous place. If you are looking for a book to “fall into” this is definitely one you should pick up.

Tidal Love by K.M. Lowe is a beautiful romance story that will capture your heart. It is about two lost and broken souls who have been hurt in the past, one horribly. KM takes us on a journey to a landscape that inspires and invites romance. One where our characters overcome adversity and pain to find the one thing they were not looking for. Trust does not come easy in this fast-paced tale as we follow them trying to find themselves whilst discovering each other. This heartbreaking yet heart-warming story will tug on the ol’ heat strings but there is also room for a few light hearted moments. Not a story to be missed.
