One USCG Commander + One Veteran Navy SEAL = Fireworks from Stem to Stern
When Coast Guard Commander Taylor Campbell returns to Rock Harbor, Texas, to tend to her uncle’s estate, she meets a veteran Navy SEAL, Jake Solomon, and learns her uncle didn’t drown accidentally. His murder was one in a string of murders of a group of Vietnam veterans who called themselves the Compass Points.
Before her uncle died, he sent Taylor a message with the location of his buried treasure. Unearthing it will place her squarely in the killer’s crosshairs, but she’s determined to fulfill her uncle’s last wish.
Jake, sent to protect her and find the killer, has other plans. Despite the fact she’s a feisty dynamo in a pint-sized package, his mission would be much easier to accomplish if he could forget how good she’d tasted when he kissed her.
Helen’s Thoughts: 5/5
Action packed adventure involving a coast guard commander, Taylor, who returns to her uncle’s sleepy town to settle his estate. There she meets Jake, an ex Navy SEAL, and finds out her uncle was murdered. That’s the beginning of the tale of the compass rose, and it is really intriguing and cleverly written
There were parts where it dragged a bit as the author moved people around a lot, and there was a lot of cleaning, but the plot keeps you hooked, and both Taylor and Jake are great characters.
With a backdrop of war and a connection to the history of the coastguard, this is a well written story which will hook you in and you’ll want to read to the end to find out more. I hope there is a follow-on story.
