Oh The Crushing Depths kept me up late into the night and early into the morning. With lots of action, plenty of unforeseen events and romantic chemistry from all sides, this isn’t a book to miss out on.

This is the second book in the Coastal Guardians series, focusing on the Coast Guard Investigative Service. We begin with Agent Rissi Dawson getting a thrilling shock because Mason Rogers walks back into her life. They lost touch years ago, after he was her protector in a violent children’s home. She loved him as a teen, but Mason is all grown up now and sparks fly as the pair work to solve a suspicious death on board an oil rig.

The body count rises when their helicopter goes down. Then the stakes are raised even further by series of setbacks on the Dauntless. Many blame on a centuries old curse, or could the trouble be down to the environmental activists moored nearby?

Mason and Rissi investigate, and as a result, struggle with conflict from within the team and work to process their emerging feelings that have laid dormant for many years. The attraction and the way it unfolds is smartly written. As ever with a book from Dani Pettrey, the plot twists kept me guessing to the very end. And because this is the middle of a series, I’m now chomping for the final installment.
