Finally coming home to help with wedding preparations after a long absence overseas, Libby is the 4th oldest sister in the Drake Sisters' series. Libby is a healer, but she sometimes has troubles containing her gift - and wearing herself out in the meantime. Her life has been spent in excelling in school and helping others, and Libby is tired of being `the good sister'. Libby has a compulsion to heal a volunteer rescue worker in the local hospital, a man with whom she competed with in medical school and has resented since. But Libby almost kills herself in saving Ty's life, despite Ty's obvious disdain for the magical Drake abilities. But when more attempts on Ty's life endanger Libby, as well, they overcome their initial dislike of each other to find out who is trying to kill them and why - helping Libby finally become the `bad girl' she's always wanted to be.

This was the best sister book so far and the hinting she does for future books makes them look even better.
The interaction between Libby and Ty is very romantic. The story just flows and before you know it you've finished the book in 1 day-I certainly did!
The way the sisters made Ty believe in their magic was hilarious. Read this book it's definitely a keeper.

I don't mind heroes that are tormented, but her main male character Ty was a bit too verbally caustic for my tastes. He is cynical of the families magical powers, and considers them con-artists. For about half the book, he is constantly telling Libby that her family is mentally unstable. Sorry, but he would have been kicked out the door as soon as he mentioned anything bad about my family. He had WAY to much baggage.
Libby tries to be the "bad girl," but (to me) she ends up a weaker character just for the fact that her "lust/love" overides her bonds to her family (see above paragraph.)
Sorry, I also don't like my heroes to cry. It is just too icky for me. Ty cries a few times in the book. I know it happens to men in real life which is fine, but it's a turn off when a strong manly fictional character bawls.
The authors other books were good. I agree with the one reviewer who said that the talent that Libby had was a little on the boring side, but I think that was more a fault of the author than the character.
There was alot of action. But, the villian was pretty much a straightfoward bet from the beginning. No surprises in this book. The storyline was broken into too many subplots and characters. She was cramming too many commercials in for her next books.
Hopefully her next book will be a little more structured, her characters more developed, and have some real suspense.

To start off, I enjoyed the book. Christine Feehan is not what I would call an A+ author for me, and what I mean by that is, she's just not very consistant, at least in my mind. There are some of her books that I think are truly well written and then there are some of her books that make me want to gag, I find them so atrocious.
Luckily, this book was not of the latter. 'Dangerous Tides' is the fourth book of the Drake sisters, and revolves around the fourth sister, Libby Drake. Libby is the self-admitted good girl in the family, being that she just can't seem to be mean - about anything or to anybody.
Libby, who is ashamed of her flat-chest body, has secretly harbored an attraction for Ty Derrick, a fellow arrogant but deliciously hunky genius like yourself. Ty feels the same, and of course, romance pursues.
I didn't intend to find myself enjoying the book so much. When reading the snyopsis, I thought it'd be boring. Just another situation for me to recall when I start judging books by the cover again. Ty and Libby's relationship is very steady and believable, but that is where I hesitate to give it 5 stars - the chemistry wasn't sizzling.
What I really liked most about this book is the references to the future books. Hannah's book is next in line and is going to be released Oct. 2006, and let me tell you, I can't WAIT! Straight from 'Magic in the Wind' I knew the story between Hannah and Jonas was well worth the anticipation.
Not only Hannah, but Joley and Elle's as well. Joley and Illya... Elle and Jackson (a personal yum from my corner of the room)... Feehan has created a series that ranks second best only to her infamous Dark series.
