Tides change, but some feelings can’t be washed away.

Lillian Lee doesn’t believe in love at first sight. Hate is a different story―and one she is intimately familiar with. Luckily, she hasn’t seen her arch-nemesis, Ivy Holden, since graduating from veterinary school five years ago. Since then, while her life isn’t going exactly according to plan, she’s happy. She has great friends, a job she loves, and the best pets in the world. Most importantly, her life is stable.

Seal Cove, Maine, is the last place Ivy Holden ever expected to end up. But when an unexpected medical condition forces her to relocate to be closer to family, she can’t turn down the opportunity. Her new job at Seal Cove Veterinary Clinic has everything she needs: flexibility, proximity to her family’s summer home, and the chance to do the work she loves. Unfortunately, it also has Lillian Lee.

Thrown back into one another’s orbits, Lillian and Ivy must find a way to work together, despite the treacherous emotions threatening to drown them both.

4.0 out of 5 stars Full of wit, sarcasm and passion, highly enjoyable reading
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2021
Second in the Seal Cove series “Night Tide” brings us the long-lost object of loathing from Lillian and Morgan’s college years, nicknamed Poison Ivy, who had a hate /hate relationship with Lillian… although there is more to that story than Morgan knows.

The characters are really well drawn, their feelings are complex, deep and twist them up in knots. It’s intriguing to see the inexorable pull between two people who so strongly dislike each other and what they represent: Ivy the trust fund baby from a dirty oil background and Lillian, whose mothers lived in a car and who has made a ‘virtue’ out of poverty. Add in an undisclosed case of MS, a serious case of lust and a tense working association and their relationship couldn’t get much more problematic.

The friends and family add depth as always, the animals are adorable and I will always wonder how authors who appear as bashful as Anna Burke write such hot sex scenes… Full of wit, sarcasm and passion, highly enjoyable reading from relatively new but very well developed author.

I like that the series follows different characters so you can see all the people you've grown to love find happiness. It was a good read about the personal struggle with unseen illnesses, the mental and physical toll it takes on the body that others wouldn't know if you hide it well.

I confess to liking book one slightly better but for those of you that enjoy good, hot, intimacy, Night Tide has it in spades. The characters are just as funny, emotional, and real as book 1. You won't be disappointed. I will reiterate that I don't care for contemporary romance, but I'll follow this series as long as Anna is writing the books. Thanks for another good read.

Yep, this is the most perfect enemies to lovers book I've ever read! Lillian and Ivy went to the same school and seemed to dislike each other from the get go. However, all was not as it seemed for either of them. Neither could ever admit to their true feelings---right? When Ivy was given a life changing diagnosis it hit her like a lead balloon. She had to make serious decisions. Was her decision right or wrong? This is a love story that is so beautifully written that it took my breath away. It was wonderful meeting up with my friends from the first book. I very highly recommend this second in the series book. As much as I loved the first one, this one is just magnificent. Please read both of the books as soon as you can. It will make you fall in love with each and every character. I would love to see another one in the series but if not, well----I'll just re-read these often. Anna Burke is such a phenomenal writer and I thank her for sharing her gift of words with the rest of us.

Your story reminded me of the pain a dear friend of mine with MS is enduring. It also reminded me that a virus like COVID-19 or a debilitating disease like MS can bring the most powerful to their knees.
I went through such a roller coaster of emotions as I read this book. The pain, the sense of helplessness, the bitterness, the resentment, the privilege, the immigrant experience it was all woven into this story. While the purpose of this story wasn’t to provide solutions, it did give hope that love and determination will help us through the most heart wrenching times. We need to be grateful for what we have and what others have to offer. More than anything, we need humility. Thank you for a wonderful read.

Don't you just hate when you are reading a really good book, but its 3 a.m. and your about to drop, but still have 30% left to go, but can't keep your eyes open any longer? Yes, that happened. I was so into the book, that I was sad I couldn't stay awake to finish it.
Anna Burke did an amazing job between the hate and love scenario of Lillian and Ivy. The wit, sarcasm, truce, passion, conviction of them brought forth in the characters were realistic, and felt that you were right there with them in their banter, eyes following back and forth like a ping pong ball.
Can't wait for the next in series. Stormy or Angie and Stevie.

Sometimes it’s easier to hate than to love. Other times, you'll end up loving what you have always despised the most. Never say never.

Hate a first sight has never been more appealing. Night Tide is the second book of the Seal Cove series, and it focuses on Lillian Lee, Morgan’s best friend at college. Spindrift ends with a hint of what will happen in Night Tide. We know that the veterinary clinic needs to hire a new large animal veterinary, and that at the end the name of Ivy Holden is mentioned. The Ivy Holden, the archenemy of Lillian, the one and only who tormented her during college. The one that represented everything she hates in society: rich, thus privileged, blonde, green eyes. Everything has been so easy for Ivy Holden, or so at least Lillian always thought, while she had to work during college, and still has to pay for her education mortgage. Lillian and Ivy have never been able to sustain a civil conversation without throwing at each other the worst appellatives. Lillian has worked so hard to become who she is. She has a whole life in Seal Cove: her job, her friends… this is her space. How dares Ivy Holden invade it? Lilian is sure that nothing good will come out of this. Ivy Holden will always be her enemy in her eyes. But what if, sometimes, our eyes are deceitful and make us see what we want to see? What our mind has always conceived, what our upbringing has printed in our memory. Can the privileged and the less privileged find some common grounds? Are they that different? And what is the reason why Ivy Holden has decided to move from Colorado to Seal Cove, Maine?

I cannot begin to say how much I loved this book. It has everything I look forward when I’m reading: detailed poetic descriptions of the scenery, a plot that interests me from the very first page, main characters that are so raw, so rooted in their way of life, that “change” can only happen through a dramatic series of clashes, of longing, of wanting, of hurting. Delicious angst that will keep your eyes stuck to the page till you find pleasure toward the end of the story. And most of all, for Night Tide, the meeting again of the Seal Cove group of friends: Morgan, Emilia, Stevie, Angie, Stormy and of course Lillian. I’m in love with each and every single one of them. All so different, and yet, all so troubled, all so human in their reactions, in their way of “feeling”, of “falling in love”.

I highlighted too many passages of Night Tide. I enjoyed how each single detail is presented to the reader at some point in the story, and later on, it will start coming back and have a much more powerful meaning. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but try to pay attention. Every single thing will make sense, it will have its purpose.

Ivy is everything Lillian hates and yet she can't stay away from her and vice versa. So symbolic their naming. Ivy & Lillian/Lily. Beautifully done.

The fear of appearing "less", "weaker", of losing control and the need of controlling and posessing the other turns into a power game between Lillian and Ivy. The other will expect it. The walls will always need to protect from the way they can look at each other: straight into each other soul. You are as bad as I am. Don't play the angel. You know I'm the Devil, but with me you feel more alive that you have never felt. I challenge you.

I’m at awe at Anna Burke’s prose and richness of vocabulary. This novel smells of sea waves, of wood burning in the fireplace, of snow falling slowly on the ground, of pines, of tea sipped in silence, of fresh grass and animals.

It will hurt you with the way the main characters resist to each other, with the intensity of their stubborn ideology. No one is 100% always right. There needs to be a middle ground. You need to first listen and quit judging ahead.

It speaks to your heart. It will make you reflect on so many deep themes and it will make you shed tears of joy.

It’s a stunning reading and I can’t wait for Anna Burke to write the third book of the series. I need to know what is happening between Stevie and Angie.

We get introduced to Ivy, she joins the Seal Cove veterinary service.
You get another helping of the supporting characters, Morgan, Stevie, Angie and Stormy.
The back story leaves you guessing as it is slowly unravelled.
Very good story with, very enjoyable, likeable characters.
You want to be in the bar at Stormy's having a drink and joining in with these great group of people.
A lovely, happy ever after. Give it a read.
