Dead in the Water by Julie Ann Walker releasing June 28, 2022

 5 stars


This was, once again, a case of “I’ll read part of it” and ended up finishing the whole book in one sitting because I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!! Cami and Dalton ‘Doc’ have already had a bumpy ride together and their banter reflects that. But through all that banter, deep feelings evolved and it all comes to a head in the middle of a hurricane. Dalton has no idea what to do with the feelings but to shun them, as he has all feelings that make him uncomfortable, for years. These two broke my heart as they figured things out, and then the waterworks continued as the worked it out together. Nothing was simply and straightforward as a myriad of long held thoughts and feelings had to be sorted and resolved. The heat between them, no question, it sizzled and snapped, but getting to that place where they can have their forever together, that took a bit of work on both their parts <3

 

Now, not to be outdone, Uncle John also gets some lovin’ and a lady companion in this story, as we get a two-fer on the romance side. Bad guys are afoot and causing all sorts of issues and problems, as the storm isn’t the only thing threatening their safety. It moves fast and it gets dicey before the dust settles on both. And we get a sweet and loving epilogue of our treasure hunters and their loves, and see where their lives are heading, and the joy and peace these men and women have finally found!
