The Deadly Shallows by Dani Pettrey

 

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.

The Killing Tide By Dani Pettrey

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 Thoughts...

This is book 4 in the Chesapeake Valor series. It can be read as a stand alone.
The moment I started to read the first page Of Dead Drift I was hooked. I must say that  Pettrey wrote an excellent page turner. I couldn't get enough and hated to see the story end. The suspense at times had me on the edge of my seat. I was also pleased that each of the main characters shared a deep rooted faith in God. Pettrey did a great job writing their faith into the story.  I recommend this book to everyone.

I gave this book 5 stars.

Cold Shot By Dani Pettrey

Now Griffin is a park ranger at Gettysburg, having left life as a SWAT-team sniper when a case went bad. The job is mostly quiet--until the day he captures two relic hunters uncovering skeletal remains near Little Round Top. Griffin just wants the case to go away, but charming forensic anthropologist Finley Scott determines that the body is modern--a young social justice lawyer missing since spring--and all evidence points to the work of an expert sniper. When FBI agent Declan Gray takes over the case, past and present collide. Griffin soon realizes he'll need to confront some of the darkest days of his life if he--and those he cares about--are going to escape a downward spiral of murder that crosses continents.

Cold shot is the perfect mix of mystery and romance combined in one book. The characters are well rounded but mostly the story is about two main characters Griffen and Finley. The author writes about the characters in such a way you feel invested in them and want to help. Pettery is so good at creating characters that you love.  Finley is my favorite character because is is a strong and independent female character. I love books that have a strong female lead. I think books should have positive characters that a younger person can look up to. The story captured my attention and I had to keep reading and finish the book. It was so good I couldn't wait to read what happened next, but I hated to see the book come to an end. The best part of the book is the message of God's grace. I really enjoyed this book. I think any fan of romance and mystery will love it as well.

I gave this book 4 stars, I recommend it!
