Release Date: October 15, 2013 Goodreads Link: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18194811-riptides?ac=1 Summary: Enzo Rodriguez doesn't take much seriously--unless it involves waves, boards, or good beer.  When too-hot-to-handle Jessica Mills strolls into his life, Enzo is willing to forego all of those things for every second he can spend with her. But Jessica has a huge secret--and when it’s revealed, it not only crushes Enzo, but has the last person he wants to ask a favor of--his brother-in-law Adam--bailing him out of jail. Enzo is convinced that the only way to mend his bruised ego and heart, is to pack his bags and leave the turbulent waters of Silver Strand...for good. My review This novella was not what I expected but in a good way. It starts as a tipical romance story, boy meets girl, they are happy together but the girl is hiding something big from the boy. I liked Enzo, he was willing to do everything for Jessica, for them ...
