2006: #89 – Dangerous Tides (Christine Feehan)
Book #89 was Dangerous Tides, by Christine Feehan. The back of the book reads:
Libby Drake never saw herself as the kind of woman who could attract the attention of handsome and brilliant biochemist Tyson Derrick. Until fate throws them together — and leaves them vulnerable to a secret enemy.
This was my book club book for October. I’m not sure how I feel about it. It wasn’t bad, but I couldn’t tell if it’s meant to be part of a series (there are 3 other books about other Drake sisters) or if it’s meant to be standalone. I felt like I was missing too much backstory. I didn’t dislike it, but something didn’t rub me completely right about it either. And one of the major plot lines was left completely unresolved. I just wasn’t that taken with the Drake sisters as a whole. I wouldn’t rule out trying another book/series by this author, but I don’t think I’ll bother with anymore Drake sister books.
