Summary: Great action and adventure
Comment: Jude Deveraux's High Tide is a must-read for Devearux fans. It has some edgy suspense & action scenes, but we never lose sight of the characters or the sense of romance familiar to Devearux/Montgomery fans.
Many romance writers have turned their romances into edgier suspense/mysteries. Jude tries to do this, but High Tide has her characteristic humor and sense of character readers have loved over the years. High Tide is primarily a romance with the action suspense used as the vehicle for their meeting and the plot. She has returned to the beloved Montgomery & Taggert families, but does not use them to big advantage, as in past books.
Some Deveraux fans will not like this book because it is a bit of a departure from her past over -the-top humor & love. I admire an author who can continue to change and grow over the years. I enjoyed this book a lot. I did not give it top stars because I thought the story started to drag and pull apart a bit as they were nearing the end of their adventurea and wound up in the Florida retirement village. I did not see the point in that. This portion of the book did not match the rest in plotting or characterization. We meet a couple of characters who were not fully explained or thought out.
All of this said, this is a worthwhile book for Devearux fans to read. It kept my attention for seveal hours.

Summary: What a poor job, from such a great writter!
Comment: After hours & hours of reading pleasure, I found my self wondering if I was really reading a Jude Deveraux book. Romance/mystery/suspends is not her cup of tea, she needs to go back to what she knows. Deveraux has a Montgomery interacting with Taggerts, without another Montgomery in sight. Be for real, this family just does not roll that way. There are too many holes in this story, and no answers. Who the heck was Rose? Why would the main characters trust Susie right out of the blue? Why would four childhood friends sit in New York and wait while their friend was being hunted down for murder, and not one of them try to reach her? I have read everything Ms. Deveraux has written, but I will not buy another of her books just because she wrote it. She has been going down hill since An Angel for Emily & The Blessing.

Summary: The Alligator scene was promising but...
Comment: Who's Kimberly? Kimberly is...a pain in the arse!
Since about 40 pages are spent on her you'd think she was the main character. Considering that, she really does have more depth in her glassy eyes then Fiona has in her entire 6'0 frame as she flounces and pouts through page after page. Ace is no ace with me. I like my heroes somewhat smart and considering he was engaged to a dim witted blond who anyone could tell he wasn't really in love with (since hot potatoe style he ditched her for an equally whiny heroine, Fiona) makes me question his intelligence. Both of his girls'(Fiona and Lisa) also seem to dislike the swamp-a world Ace adores, which makes me wonder how much of his attraction to Fiona is just lust rather then love.
I suggest The Taming and The Conquest by Jude Deveraux instead. Or may I suggest Judith McNaught and Karen Marie Moning.
