**AN AMAZON TOP 20 BESTSELLER**


She's my best friend's little sister. Completely off-limits. But every man has his breaking point.


Lila James is my best friend's little sister and I've always looked out for her.

She's five years younger than me, and when she left for college, she was just a kid.

But now she's home for the summer-and she's definitely not a kid anymore.

She's beautiful and smart and everything I didn't know I needed.

Dark eyes. Long wavy hair. And legs that are meant to be wrapped around me.

I'm the guy who likes to have a good time.

Keep things light.

When her brother asks me to hire her at my restaurant, it's a no-brainer.

There isn't anything I wouldn't do for her.

Until she asks me for one more favor.

She wants me to be her first.

Take her V-card.

Go where no man has gone before.

Her words, not mine.

And damn if I don't want to go there more than I've ever wanted anything.

She's only here for the summer, and she says it will be our secret.

It's temporary.

We'll go back to being just friends at the end of summer.

She promises that she won't fall for me.

She knows better.

But Lila isn't the one I'm worried about.

I still laughed when I thought about the way he’d tried to gently ask me to just use Bear because he didn’t want to hurt my feelings.

Hugh and Lila are EVERYTHING
5 Stars
Hugh and Lila are EVERYTHING
“I’d always called her Snow for as long as I could remember, because the girl had watched Snow White more times than any one kid should, and her dark hair and all that sweetness made it an easy nickname to hold on to.”“I didn’t know when Lila James grew into the sexiest woman I’d ever seen, but she had.”So I’ve been jumping back and forth between smutt and romance books. It’s been very refreshing switching between the two with everything going on right now.Lila is finally home for the summer for a much needed break, before her dream job starts in the fall. She thinks that the job is what she wants but one summer and one handsome man changes everything for her. I love that Lila has found out what she truly wants and is enjoying herself after throwing herself and all her energy into college and finding a career.Oh Hugh, the town’s playboy but big hearted family man! How quickly he comes to Lila’s aid not only because she is his best friend’s little sister but because he is just a good person is amazing! I love watching the two try to fight their feelings but some times they are so blunt that it’s hilarious! I can’t wait to see what happens with the rest of the Reynold’s family! That is a family dinner I would love to sit in on!

I absolutely loved Into the Tide by Laura Pavlov; it is an incredible best friend’s little sister love story. It is the first book in her Cottonwood Cove series. Into the Tide is the first book that I read by Laura Pavlov, but it will not be the last, she is an amazing storyteller. It was impossible to put Into the Tide down and I loved every moment on every page. It filled me with a rollercoaster of emotions. Who does not love hot sexy men, strong females, loving families, and friends, who always support one another? I really enjoy how the book is told in the first person from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. My favorite part of the book is how Laura Pavlov incorporates the picture on the cover into the love story. Into the Tide is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. I love the lighter moments where I find myself smiling and laughing out loud. My favorite moments are the ones that pull at my heartstrings that cause me to sigh, as I read the heartbreaking moments. Into the Tide is filled with such moments, and with so much emotion. It is filled with all those things that we have come to love and expect in a love story, Laura Pavlov did not disappoint, especially with the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. I love how Laura Pavlov managed to create the "perfect" heroine, who is a strong, sassy woman on her own, to balance out the sexy, swoon worthy man. Into the Tide is the story of Hugh Reynolds, manager of Reynolds’ Bar and Grill, Burgers and Brews, and Garrity’s and his best friend, Travis’s little sister, Lila James, recent college graduate. Lila returns home to Cottonwood Cove for the summer following her graduation from Northwestern University to help Hugh with the business side of Reynolds’ Bar and Grill, before returning to Chicago in September to start a job at True Solutions. Lila’s main reason for coming home was to get her father into rehab for his alcohol and drug abuse. Travis does not want Lila in Cottonwood Cove long term and does not want her to have anything to do with their father. I love the Disney nicknames that they give one another. Lila moves into Hugh’s extra bedroom following an incident involving her father. I love the chemistry between Lila and Hugh. Conversation between Lila and Hugh flows so easily, I love that both Lila and Hugh share secrets with one another that they have not shared with anyone before. As Lila and Hugh spend time working together and crossing off items in her Snow (Hugh’s nickname for Lila) Day notebook, things change between them. Hugh is not interested in a relationship with Lila because of his friendship with Travis and keeps their relationship a secret. Neither one is willing to admit their true feelings for each other knowing that Lila will be heading to Chicago at the end of summer. Conversation between Lila and Hugh flows so easily, with innuendos and playful banter, and Hugh constantly flirts with Lila. Some conversations between Lila and Hugh are truly heartbreaking, make sure you have your Kleenex nearby. I love everything that Hugh does for Lila to help her cross off items in her Snow Day notebook. I love the last item on the list that Lila added without showing Hugh. A heart-breaking surprise plot twist occurs, which changes things between them. I love all the changes that Hugh is willing to make in his life to have a life and a future with Lila, wherever that may be. Travis’s reaction to Hugh telling him about his relationship with Lila is priceless. I love the heart-to-heart conversation that Lila has with Hugh’s mother, Alana, who is a therapist. I love the Reynolds family text thread and the texts between Hugh and Lila. I loved that Into the Tide is more than just a romance, there are issues that both Lila and Hugh are facing that need to be resolved. I love how the storylines get so beautifully resolved. I love how Hugh creates a list of his own and takes Lila’s notebook with him so she can check off the last item she added. I love the ending of their love story. My favorite part is the epilogue and how it goes above a happily ever after with Hugh’s proposal and the significance of the location. I love how the epilogue hints at whose love story is next in the series. My favorite part was the bonus scene download that details the treasure hunt that Hugh creates for Lila and the location that the last clue leads Lila. Into the Tide is filled with poignant and bittersweet moments as well as plot twists that I have come to love and expect in a love story and was not disappointed with Laura Pavlov’s delivery of those items. I love the characters and the family dynamic in Into the Tide, the characters feel like family and friends, especially Lila’s relationship with her friends Del, Ria and Sloane. I enjoyed all the interactions between the Reynolds siblings, it feels like real family love and makes me laugh at their teasing. I love the descriptions of the Cottonwood Cove location. I loved all the characters in Into the Tide, and I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series. Who does not love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I thoroughly enjoyed Into the Tide, who does not love a best friend’s little sister love story. Highly recommend this incredible love story and am so looking forward to reading the other books in the series.

The first book I read by Laura Pavlov was Always Mine and I loved the story and characters so much. When I heard about this book I knew I had to read it. I loved the Honey Mountain Series and the Sisters. And i was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Reynolds are their cousins.

Hugh Reynolds is the middle child, of a family of 5 siblings. He’s the protective, stand up, loyal brother. You can always count on him. A bit of a playboy, due to his charming personality, big muscles, long hair and panty-melting smile. He’s been best friends with Travis (Lila’s brother) and Brax his whole life. He’s always been protective of Lila alongside her brother due to the shitty hand they were dealt in life. Mom passed away when they were very young, Drunk/Addicted absent father.

Lila recent college graduate is back home for the summer before she has to go back to Chicago to start the “dream” job. She’s always felt the pressure to be perfect in everything she does, so she decided that this summer would be filled with adventures and freedom and living life without having to think about a set of goals or pleasing people. She just wanted to live for her and do what made her happy. Enter the summer list of things she wants to do before she has to go back.

1. *Get her father into rehab*
2. *Lose her V-card*

And who’s best for the task than her boss/roommate. Only problem he’s her bother’s best friend and Off limits.

Their story has a small slow burn-ish type of trope. And i liked it, although I got frustrated more time that i can count.

I really liked it and can’t wait to read about Hugh’s siblings (and yes, each one of them gets a story). I loved their family’s dynamic and banter during their get together. And Who knows maybe we get a bit more of the Thomas's sisters on the next books.

You need to get your hands on it soon. The story is lightweight, easy to read and very entertaining.

This story was cute and sweet, about two people coming together after so many years of building up to connecting.

What I did like:
The spice - to me it was perfect! The tension, and the connection between Lila & Hugh 🔥

The characters - I love a strong fmc, and Lila was definitely that. I also love a secret softy mmc, and Hugh fit the bill there too. The side characters were fun, especially Hugh’s siblings.

What wasn’t for me:
I found the writing repetitive, a lot of saying the same thing (she’s my best friend’s sister and I won’t cross that line, stuff like that).

I definitely feel like I’ve read this before, only done better. Maybe I’ve read too many small town romances?

Tropes + stuff:
👬 brother’s best friend
🏃‍♀️ cross country runner fmc
🍺 bar owner mmc
🖇️ workplace/forced proximity
🤍 virgin fmc
🚫 forbidden
🫶🏼 found family
🌳 small town

This is the first novel by Laura Pavlov that I read. I love small town romance, and Into the Tide did not disappoint.
Hot MMC, strong but sweet FMC. I loved the storyline, how the relationship developed from friendship to much more, the chemistry between Hugh and Lila and the steam. I loved Lila’s concept of love and family, how she supported and believed in her father, when no one else would. Despite a difficult childhood, she was a ray of sunshine, positive and had hope in the future. Hugh was supportive and caring, I liked how he fell for her. I also enjoyed Hugh’s family chat and banter, that was really fun!
Although I understood his reasons and fears, I disliked Travis’ behaviour, how he treated Lila as a child and did not support her with their father. He did come around in the end, when everything was already set and done, a bit too late for me.
I struggled initially with the writing style, the scenes with dialogues did not always flow smoothly. I also did not like the excessive use of the F word in dialogues, it was really unnecessary and made some of the dialogue sound fake to me.
I enjoyed the novel, it was a good read, and I will surely read the other books of the series.

this book had me from the very beginning. Hooked on Lila and Hugh’s story. Lila cares for her friends and family, she sees the positive in people when they don’t. Lila goes back home to see family and friends. Her brother Travis is overbearing which you’ll find out why. Lila has a crush on Hugh but the problem is Travis and Hugh are best buds. We all know you don’t cross that line. Not only has Lila got an overbearing brother, but her dad he has problems which she hopes with her help he’ll get the help he needs. laura gets you from the beginning, it’s a beautiful story that flows so well. I can’t wait to read more.
