Book One “Hold Your Breath”:
This is the first in the series and it sets the tone for the remainder of the series. Lou and Callum have already met at the start of the book as Lou is the only female member of the Dive Rescue Team. Lou fled a life from her family and other complications to demonstrate her own independence and self sufficiency. Eventually, Lou suspects that someone has been stalking her. Which, causes Callum to become involved and eventually because the two are present in ever aspect of each others’ lives they become romantically involved. It's spicy that for sure and the chemistry between the two characters is off the charts.
At the end of the book, there is someone closure for Lou in regards to her relationship with her family and her stalker. But the discovery she made of a homicide victim while on a training dive has now become an obsession. One that she ultimately drags Callum into. We have a stalker, an arsonist, a drugged Lou and some very cold water, which all make for a page turning novel that you won’t want to tear your eyes away from. This book ends on a cliff hanger, which leaves you guessing until you read the next book. We have a lot of unanswered questions about the victim of a recent homicide and who is responsible.
Book Two “Fan The Flames”:
Rory and Ian also have chemistry that is sizzling. Rory owns a gun store and has illegally provided guns to the local MC in the past. This is how her path with Ian crosses. Eventually, things start to go downhill, when Ian causes trouble in the club and he has to choose between the devil or the angel on his shoulder. Unfortunately, Rory gets tangled up in all of the tension because she refuses to sell a gun to a dumbass who just happened to be the presidents’ son. Things kind of escalate from there.
Rory and Ian eventually connect as they are forced into tight quarters after some concerns rise with someone lurking around her property at night. Between the hot chemistry, the explosions, the gun fights and someone getting crushed by a snow plow, this book is action packed and a definite page turner.
Book Three “Gone Too Deep”:
Book three is centered on George and Ellie and I’ll be honest that I struggled to understand the chemistry between the two. George says minimal and Ellie seems to over think everything. But in desperation to find her father who is suffering from mental illness, Ellie begs George to escort her to his grandfather’s old cabin.
George agrees via grunting, which seems to be his only form of communication at times. So the duo end up hiking for three days in icy temperatures. The adventure involved a badass moose, a shoot out, an explosion and someone also dies. Once everything concludes and there is a HEA for George and Ellie, Ruggle gives us the identity of the murderer. It leaves us hanging on the seat of our pants.
Book Four “In Safe Hands”:
In the final book of this series, we learn about Chris Jennings and Daisy who have been forever bonded by the death of Daisy’s mother when she was sixteen years old. As a result of this incident, Daisy suffers from agoraphobia and has not left her home for eight years. In that period the only people who have visited with her have been Chris and her father. Her father, Gabe, doesn’t seem to be winning any father of the year awards when it comes to understanding Daisy’s illness.
Throughout the jigs and the reels, Daisy and Chris end up training with the whole search and rescue gang (Rory, Ian, George, Ellie, Lou and Callum). They become good friends who are all curious as to the recent pattern of intentional fires and homicides. Eventually, Daisy and Chris are able to make some conclusions from the evidence they collected and Daisy starts to make some progress in her illness. Their relationship also grows into a romantic relationship and Chris divulges his guilt around Daisy’s mother’s death. Throughout the book, we are aware of who the arsonist/murderer is as it was previously identified in the end of the last book.
At the end of this book, we can see the mystery come to a close. Someone dies, someone gets engaged and someone reconnects with long lost family. Overall, another grade A book from Katie. Check it out for yourself. Please note that I have not read the Free Novellas "On His Watch" and "After The End". My opinions are my own and have not been influenced.
