This is the first book I've read by this author. I was looking for a new author and saw that I could borrow this from Amazon for free. This series is four books at the time I'm writing this review, but the book summary says it's going to be six total. So far there's Hidden Currents, Flood Watch, Storm Surge, and Dangerous Waters.
Cassidy's cover has been blown. She's taken out the head of a gang in Seattle, but now she's in hiding on the other side of the country. With a bounty of a million dollars on her head, she has to stay out of the spotlight.
Easier said than done. She's supposed to be selling ice cream to the tourists (since none of the local will buy from her), but she soon gets bored. A murdered man on the beach has her detective instincts tingling, and no matter how many times she tells herself to keep her nose out of things, she finds herself involved.
There's also some romantic tension going on between Cassidy and her neighbor, Ty. They definitely get off on the wrong foot, but the more they learn about each other, the more they want to know. But Cassidy's got a man waiting for her when she comes out of hiding, and she tells herself she can't be interested.
We read from both Ty and Cassidy's point of view, and I liked that. I was also able to connect with both characters, especially Cassidy. My only gripe was the two chapters that took the story out of the present and put it into the past. These two chapters could've easily been incorporated into the flow of the story as a memory or flashback. I'm not a fan of skipping around time-wise in novels, but it was only twice, so I'll give that a pass.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more. This one ended a bit abruptly, and potential readers be warned that Cassidy is still in hiding at the end of the book. You're going to want to keep going, and I have the feeling you may want to read these in order. I can't wait to read about the continuing relationship between Ty and Cassidy. Good Book!
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!
