About this ebook

Private investigator Ari Danner is out of money and out of luck in Las Vegas when she’s offered the biggest contract of her life. The first problem? The job is in California. The second problem? She’ll have to go undercover as a beach babe and she can’t even swim. But the money is too good to pass up, and she’ll do anything to secure her daughter’s future, even cosy up to pro surfer Zach Torres as she gathers evidence of his role in a sports betting scam.

Zach doesn’t usually pick up women by giving them CPR on his surfboard, but right from the start, he knew Ari was different. Smart, easy to talk to, interested in more than his billboard-worthy abs. But secrets can tear love apart, and Zach soon finds that there’s more than his relationship at risk.

Hard Tide is a standalone romantic suspense novel in the Blackstone House series.

Ratings and reviews

As I have come to expect this is another well crafted story by Elise. Sri and Zach’s story is interesting but for me I actually found myself more invested in other characters within the series. Starting to think that there will be more books required to flesh out the full story behind the Blackstone house murder. While this could be read as a standalone alone story you will get more out of it if you do read hard lines first.

Loved how intricate this book is! If you are a hardcore fan of Elise Noble’s, which I definitely am, you will revel in the many ties to other story lines and characters – and get excited about the set-ups for many future books. As always, the characters in this book are well developed and relatable, though there is a bit of a darker spin to this story than many others. In typical Elise Noble fashion, there are plenty of humorous one-liners and snappy comebacks. This story is a bit addictive!

Absolutely love this book. There a few different storylines going on at once that end up tighting together so perfectly. Zach and Ari make the cutest couple. Yeah for Haven! Thank you for putting your heart and soul into every single book you create. I'm completely addicted! I have read every one of your books thus far. Just pre-ordered Hard Limits, and about to start Blurred Lines. Cannot wait!
