This was a really fun second addition to the series, I loved the main characters and seeing how previous ones were developing.

I loved this book. This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites! there was so much at stake in this book than the first one in the series and i loved it so much more. The main characters were so much fun, and I loved the character development of everyone, including the side characters!
Thank you to the author and the publisher, Boldwood Books, for sharing an ARC of this book with me on NetGalley!

This book was a lovely read, I particularly enjoyed the descriptive language used in it, and how well everything was always explained from everything to clothes to the smells that could be smelt. It felt I credibly immersive which I absolutely adored.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publishing company for allowing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was gifted this eArc by Boldwood Books Publishing via Netgallery.

Tide of Waves and Secrets by C.L. Mecca is a lovely Muli POV story following Rowan and Nerys. Rowan is a human sent on a quest to find an artifact in the immortal realm. Nerys is a powerful immortal assigned to guard him as he petitions the Thalassarian Queen for access to the Tidal Pearl.

This book has an epic and spicy love story that will keep you hooked! Nerys and Rowan’s relationship is heart warming as they navigate a challenge that could change the fate of Thalassarian realm. This story has a unique world filled with magic and was an easy/fun read. It also leaves room for another book that revolves around some of the side characters. :)

This is my first book from this author and I enjoyed it! There is a book before this one featuring other characters as the main couple.

This second book in the fantasy romance set in the parallel universe of Elydor is just as exciting and magical as the first. In the quest to gather the magical artefacts needed to open the Gate and allow people to pass in and out of Elydor, Rowan must go to Thalassaria (the water clan) to get permission to use their Tidal Pearl. The world of Thalassaria is fun and fantastical with all the ocean and water magic and special features that can be manipulated with powers the clan members possess. There are water creatures, legends, challenges, immortality, ominous visions and an endearing but impossible romance to be found in Thallassaria. But Rowan has secrets and powers of his own as a human which prevent him from falling in love with powerful and immortal Nerys. The book is full of interesting characters and a fresh and intelligent plot that draws you into this mystical world. What fun!

I want to say thank you to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me the privilege to be able to read this book.

I'm kind of stumped on words here for this book. I loved it, just like the first in the series this book was like coming home. I truly don't know how to explain it but that is exactly what it's like reading this series. There was so much more at stake in this book, than the last and Nerys was just as an incredible heroine (actually a little more) than Mev and it was so awesome to see all that she was. I love finding out more about Rowan he's even more incredible in his own book than he already was in the first! I loved getting to see more and more of this world C. L. Mecca has created and I really don't ever want it to end. I have no complaints about this book whatsoever and I can't wait until I can bring it home where it belongs!

Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to continue loving a series you brought into my life!

I liked it. I liked this book a lot. As for book one, it was fast paced enough to keep me entertained from the beginning to the very end without any need to stop reading. It is true that this time around we don’t have a young girl who’s finding out the truth of her heritage but a young woman who will possibly rival her own queen for the protection, guidance and leading of her own people. And a messenger from another kingdom (when the characters of the previous books were mentioned, I did get kinda nostalgic about it, to be honest) who was definitely not expecting to be enchanted by this strong and resilient woman. Rowin and Nerys’s love story is wonderfully romantic and I loved it. Always supporting one another in a strangers to lovers impossible romance dynamic when their duty towards their own people got on the way of their love. And until the end, you’re not sure how it will go for them. So … you’ll have to read it to know !!!

Thank you so much Boldwood books for the arc to this stunning book!
I love a good romance in fantasy books and boy did this deliver! The banter was so good and the tension was wonderful. This is book 2 in the Heirs of Elydor series BUT they are interconnected so you dont have to read the first book to be able to understand the second. Nerys is definitely a top FMC for me now! and Rowan was a fun character and i liked his story. The dual POV really helped bring me closer to the characters and i liked learning more about them. The side characters were so much fun and im happy with what they brought to the story.

Thank you again to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the e-ARC of this gorgeous book!

I just finished Tide of Waves and Secrets by C.L. Mecca and wow… I have a serious book hangover!

This one’s an ARC and honestly, I loved it. Thank you boldwoodeverafter for this copy.I usually lean toward romantasy more than pure fantasy,I need that romance and banter in my reads! This book gave me exactly that and more. It’s Book 2 in the Heirs of Elydor series, but you don’t need to read Book 1 as it follows different characters.

The story follows Nerys, a guard in the immortal realm, who’s assigned to shadow a mysterious human, Rowan. He’s on a mission for the legendary Tidal Pearl, but sparks fly and loyalties are tested. The world-building was stunning, and I loved the dual POV between Nerys and Rowan.

I kind of wish we had more POVs though…there were a few side characters I would’ve loved to explore! And yep, there are some spicy scenes (think ACOTAR level). The entire setup of the world is so beautiful and magical.

This was a solid 5-star romantasy for me! Fast-paced, fun, and full of heart.
