A battle for a charming Cape Cod inn…
But what happens when romance checks in?

Single mom Laura Lessoway won’t accept her mother’s plan of selling her late grandmother’s beachfront inn without a fight. But when big-city attorney Jonathan Masters arrives to arrange an offer from his client, she’s drawn to him. And although he came to Cape Cod to close an important business deal—not fall in love—he can’t get her out of his mind.

Laura and Jonathan each try to fight their attraction and focus on business, but it’s not long before Jonathan finds himself confiding in her his other reason for coming to The Sea Glass Inn—he’s trying to find his mentally ill father, who’s recently been spotted at a nearby homeless shelter.

Working together to find Jonathan’s father only brings Laura and Jonathan closer. But with his career and her home on the line, can they ever find common ground?

“Crushing Depths” by Dani Pettrey

WOW! This story was just as good, if not better than the first book in this series. I haven’t read any books involving the Coast Guard since it’s been fun to get to know the characters and their jobs.

Clean romance and suspense with lots of drama in this fast paced story. Rissi and Mason were great characters and worked really well together, especially because of their past. I also liked reading the side stores involving the other team members.

This is a book that I will be keeping to read again. It was a definite page turner, don’t stop until you’re done reading! Highly recommend this Christian fiction book and series.

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book:
When an accident claims the life of an oil-rig worker on the first drilling platform off the North Carolina coast, Coast Guard investigators Rissi Dawson and Mason Rogers are sent to take the case. Tensions surrounding the oil rig are high and the death has everyone on edge. Environmental activists are threatening to do whatever it takes to stop the structure from being completed, while rumors are being whispered about ancient curses surrounding this part of the ocean.

Mounting evidence shows the death may not have been an accident at all. Was he killed by one of the activists or, perhaps more frighteningly, a member of his own crew? Rissi and Mason have to sort through not only a plethora of suspects, but also their own past and attraction to each other.

Just as the case seems like it’ll break open, worse news arrives. A tropical storm has turned their way and soon they’re cut off from any rescue–and right where the killer wants them. It’s a race to discover his identity before he eliminates the threat they pose.

Emotional and riveting from beginning to end! This story kept me glued and engaged chapter after chapter as I got to know Piper and her family. Throughout the story we read about all the Boone family tragedies as Tucker and Piper try to piece clues together about the recent shooting and who was targeted.

Lots of suspense, complicated characters and surprise ending that I didn’t expect. I enjoyed reading this fast paced, clean suspense story that spanned over a period of 15 years.

“Don’t Keep Silent” (Uncommon Justice) by Elizabeth Goddard

So many twists and turns with lots of suspense and action. I absolutely loved this riveting, romantic suspense book! Clean christian book but does have elements of murder, kidnapping and human trafficking-nothing graphic.

Another great book to the “Uncommon Justice” series! I highly recommend this book and this series. Once you start reading, you won’t want to stop!

Investigative reporter Rae Burke will do anything to find her missing sister-in-law, even if it means facing Liam McKade, a man who almost lost his life saving hers.

When the reporter who blew his cover on an important investigation inserts herself back into his life, he’s less than thrilled. But Rae’s keen investigative skills have led her down the right path–and directly into the dragon’s mouth–leaving Liam no choice but to protect her. As the danger increases, the past they both tried to flee catches up to them, along with the feelings they once had for each other.

“These Nameless Things” by Shawn Smucker

I haven’t read anything by this author but the book description sounded intriguing so I decided to give it a try.

Unfortunately, this story wasn’t for me. I was very confused right from the start with the characters and where they were and what they were doing. I continued to read but I remained confused and it didn’t keep my attention so I didn’t end up finishing it. To me the story almost seemed classified as a “fantasy” novel which I don’t like to read which is probably why I had a hard time finishing it. It has great reviews but it wasn’t for me.
