This week I'm featuring The Shifting Current by Dani Pettrey. I loved the Coastal Guardian series, so I was excited for this novella featuring Logan and Emmy. It did not disappoint. I think it might be my favorite of the series.
When Coast Guard Investigative Service Special Agent LOGAN PERRY’s beloved grandfather is murdered, Logan races to his hometown of Cauldron Creek, New Mexico to investigate the murder. His teammate and friend, EMMY THORTON, insists on joining him. Not a good idea—not when he loves her, but carries a secret that he knows will tear them apart.
Emmy knows Logan will pursue the investigation no matter the cost, and she won’t let the man she loves plunge into a dangerous situation alone. She needs to be at his side, even if he believes friendship is her only reason for joining him.
What looks like a robbery gone wrong rapidly shifts, drawing Emmy and Logan into a dizzying maze where nothing is as it appears. Every lead slips through their fingers as threats against them grow deadlier at each turn. Having only each other to rely on, their love for one another deepens, but will they live long enough to admit their attraction to each other?
They’re in the killer’s sights. One wrong move puts their future together and their lives on the line.

He was too late.

DeleteThe first line is super disgusting. Is she dead? Is that why she can't crawl out of it?
ReplyDeleteShe's not dead. I was a little confused by that beginning, but it definitely made me wonder what was going on. It all made sense later on though. Hope you have a great weekend, Anne! :)

"I stood frozen, unable to move, speak. Catherine looked from me to Jack, her expression unreadable."
I hope you have a great weekend!
I really want to read that one! Glad to hear it's good! Hope you have an awesome weekend! :)

ReplyDeleteThank you! This was the kind of book that was so hard to put down! Hope you have a great weekend too! :)
DeleteThis one looks really good! I'm currently reading Across the Shores novella collection, and am on the third story, "Running from Love" by Angela K. Couch. The first line is: "Alberta, Canada, 1906 ~ Anna Kohler choked on a scream--and the rank odor that shattered any relief or hope that had flitted through her at the sight of the small cabin." -- I hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteOoh! What a great beginning! I want to know more. Thanks for sharing! Hope you have an awesome week! :)
