Review: The Deadly Shallows (Coastal Guardians Book #3) by Dani Pettrey

About the Book
A DEADLY ATTACK.
A STOLEN WEAPON CAPABLE OF IMMENSE DESTRUCTION.
A PAINFUL SECRET THAT THREATENS TO TEAR TWO HEARTS APART.

CGIS Agent Noah Rowley is rocked to the core when several of his valued team members come under fire on his Coast Guard base. He and his remaining team race to the scene and end the attack, but not before innocent lives are lost. Furious and grief-stricken, he vows to do whatever is needed to bring the mastermind behind the attack to justice.

Stunned by the ambush, Coast Guard flight medic Brooke Kesler evacuates in a helicopter carrying the only surviving gunman. The gravely wounded man whispers mysterious information to Brooke that immediately paints a target on her back.

As Brooke and Noah race to uncover answers, emotions between them ignite. Noah struggles to protect Brooke at all costs and to conceal the secret that prevents him from becoming what he longs to be--the right man for her.

Everything is at stake as a horrifying truth emerges. . . .

The attack wasn't the end game. It was only the beginning.


MY THOUGHTS

This is my favorite book in the series. Like the previous two books, there was a lot going on, a lot of people to keep up with, and multiple mysteries to solve, but it felt easier for me to keep up with this time.

There's a mass shooting that takes place early on in the book, so that was harrowing to read about. To say things got intense is an understatement. I was racing through the pages, hoping they'd find the mastermind and motive behind the tragedy as fast as possible.

Brooke and Noah made the perfect couple. And while they were the main focus of this book, I also enjoyed the side story featuring Caleb and Austin, and the mystery they were trying to solve.

All in all, this was a fantastic romantic suspense that I highly recommend. I do suggest starting with book one though, just so you're familiar with all the characters.

4.5 STARS
