Tidal Ides Kindle Edition
My job as mayor of the most Christmasy town South of the North Pole comes with enough perks to overlook the headaches of municipal leadership. Most of the time. The new owner of Candy Cane Key’s Community Playhouse is putting that theory to the test.
Austie Norman, with her holly berry red lips and evergreen eyes, fits in perfectly. If I ignore the way she’s messing with tradition and making changes. And if I ignore the way she blazes past tradition and brings fresh energy to town. Definitely if I ignore the way she makes my heart trip over itself every time we argue about her plans to produce an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Ides of March. We can’t do Shakespeare when we’re meant to be doing Seuss. This is Candy Cane Key and people have certain expectations when they come here.
I can ignore all of that to fall in love. I just need to find a way to make Austie ignore all the ways I drive her crazy so she falls in love with me, too.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2023Tidal Ides by Layne Daniels is part of the multi-author Candy Cane Key series. This is a very quick, fun and entertaining story about Austie Norman and Colter Stout. He is the mayor of Candy Cane Key, one of the Florida Keys that has taken it's name all the way to being a Christmas key 365 days a year. Austie has bought the old Playhouse and is wants to blow some of the Christmas cobwebs out of the town. This sets the two of them up on a collision course that ignites with more than a spark.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2023Tidal Ides by Layne Daniels was a fun read and a cute addition to the Candy Cane Key series. The main characters were funny and things heated up quickly between them, recommend for a super quick, fun read!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2023Mayor Colter Stout and newcomer and Playhouse owner Austie’s instalove/hate relationship was cutely encouraged by Austie’s feisty relative, Franny. I liked how Colter didn’t bother fighting the set up. I did like how Colter quickly saw he was wrong about Austie’s intentions and business plan. The whole town and inhabitants were just a syrupy for me.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2023Tidal Ides is fast read that takes you on a wild ride for the first line. Colter is the mayor of this small town and is starting to blow his top, before he even has all the facts.
Austie is new in town and has plans to see it grow. It might be with a different approach, but she knows it will work.
Hot, fast and steamy. Colter and Austie butt heads and find their passion heats up when they realize they are actually headed for the same thing. Great quick read and a perfect escape.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2023Austie has bought and remodeled the playhouse. She now lives in a town that revolves around Christmas. She's putting in a play, but it's not the yearly one they normally have. The mayor is not happy about this and demands her to change back. When he meets her for the first time he's surprised by how attractive she is and he wants to talk some more about her plans.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2023I've read several books written by Layne Daniels; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.
This is part of the Candy Cane Key Series; it is a stand-alone short story. The story is about Austie & Colter; he’s the mayor & new owner of the Candy Cane key’s Playhouse; she wants to make completely change the traditional play to Shakespeare instead of Seuss.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2023This was a cute and very quick read. It wasn't overly romantic and you don't get to know the characters too well but I enjoyed it well enough.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2023This book is a part of the Candy Cane Key series and focuses on Colter and Austie. Colter is the mayor of Candy Cane Key, a year long Christmas obsessed town, and is not one for an outsider trying to do things differently in their town. He is not happy with the new owner of the town's playhouse wanting to switch up the annual summer play. However, one look at Austie has him spinning. He knows that he has just found his woman but knows that he has to work a little bit harder to get her to give him a chance after he had a less than stellar first impression. Thankfully, Austie feels the same undeniable connection to Colter so they quickly move into their forevers. This was a great story and a great addition to the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mayor Shout to Mayor tamed in one day
Colton Stout is the Mayor of Candy Cane Keys but when Austie Norman threatens his vision for the town's theatre he goes ballistic till he sees her and falls immediately in love. Enemies to lovers quick read. Even her Grammy loves the Mayor and tried to tell him to just give in he'll be so much happier. Cute fun and feisty!
