Publisher Description
“When one Coast Guard officer is found dead and another goes missing, Coast Guard Investigative Service special agent Finn Walker faces his most dangerous crime yet. His only clues are what little evidence remains aboard the dead officer’s boat, and the direction the clues point to will test Finn and the Guard to their limits.
When investigative reporter–and Finn’s boss’s sister–Gabby Rowley arrives, her unrelenting questions complicate an already volatile situation. Now that she’s back, the tug on Finn’s heart is strong, but with the risks she’s taking for her next big story, he fears she might not live through it.
Thrown together by the heinous crime, Finn and Gabby can’t ignore the sparks or judgments flying between them. But will they be able to see past their preconceptions long enough to track down an elusive killer, or will they become his next mark?”
My Review:
Warning: Once you begin this book, it’s going to be hard for you to put it down. Every time I came to a place that I thought I could put the book down for awhile, something else would happen to keep me reading “just one more chapter”. I’m going to be careful in this review to not give anything away with the plot, because it’s the surprises along the way that give this book its spark.
The eye-catching cover gives you a clue about the suspenseful feel all throughout the story. Dani Pettrey’s books never disappoint me. I love books that have complicated, twisting plot lines and she’s certainly given us that in this book. There is also quite a bit happening in this book with several different characters. It took me a couple of chapters to get everyone in their proper place in my mind, but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment of this story. Although there is a romantic storyline, I most enjoyed the “NCIS” type of investigative feel to the book. The Coast Guard investigative team gives this story a fresh feel, and the scenes involving the Coast Guard were riveting. Everything comes together in an ending that I did not see coming. And that’s why I’ll keep reading anything that Dani Pettrey writes.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
