The Shifting Current by Dani Pettrey

5.0

Wow! Buckle up because this novella will take you on a rollercoaster of a ride with swoon worthy romance, heart palpitating action, mystery, and a redemption story that’ll tug on your heartstrings. I loved Logan and Emmy and soon became invested in their burgeoning romance. The mystery was complex and full of twists and turns. Also loved the New Mexico setting.

Logan Perry is a special agent with the Coast Guard Investigative Service. He’s been in love with Emmy for awhile but doubts he’s worthy of her, especially with his past. When he learns that his grandfather was found murdered in the small New Mexico town he grew up in, he immediately makes plans to leave and Emmy jumps at the chance to go with him.

As they investigate his grandfather’s murder, they learn that a young woman who he’d taken in is missing along with several meaningful items. Was she responsible for his death or is she part of a bigger conspiracy? Emmy has feelings for Logan but worries about sharing them when he’s dealing with his grief. She also senses he’s holding something back. Will they let down their guards or remain only colleagues?

I can’t believe this is the first book I’ve read by Dani Pettrey! It was so well written that despite only being 200 pages, it felt more like a full length novel. Even though I hadn’t read the previous books in the series, I was easily drawn in to the story.

Emmy and Logan’s romance was so good! They work extremely well together. Logan just needed that little push to reveal his feelings and holy cow, he doesn’t hold back. I loved the way he opened up to Emmy about his troubled childhood and my heart ached for what he went through.

The mystery kept me guessing, with suspense filled action that kept me on the edge of my seat. It’s a fast-paced, heartfelt, clean romantic suspense with a touch of faith that made me want to go back and read the entire series. Highly recommend to romantic suspense fans!
