Im not a super fan of mystery reads but I enjoyed this series, with its combination of mystery and romance as we follow Niall and Mat as they solve another mystery and plan a wedding!

I mean bodies in harbours and wedding planning shouldn't really work but it does.

This was well paced with good characters. ( )

This series is way too short, but luckily the characters from Elle Keaton's other books set in the same general area of Washington state keep reappearing...so there are always familiar friends. Niall and Mat are trying to get married, but explosions and dead bodies keep getting in their way. This is definitely a romantic suspense story and Niall and Mat are one of my all-time favorite couples. The first two books introduced the two character and gave them depth. it also pathed the path to get them together, Now they just have to learn how to be a couple. Niall can’t quite give up his "do it by myself" investigating attitude, even when he doesn't need to. Mat wants to wrap Naill in bubble wrap and put him in a cupboard and lock the door...but he understands that is just the way this big Norseman that has just become his fiancé, is...and it's useless to try and change him. Mat is the sheriff of the Piedras Island community where everybody knows everybody and will always put differences aside and gather together in time of trouble. Mat is determined to keep his little paart of the world safe, and it doesn't matter that Naill has also had thoughts about how to keep Mat safe..."wrap him up like a burrito", I believe is how he phrased his idea. Ms. Keaton has created two wonderful, interesting, adorable, sexy, sweet characters. They argue sometimes but they are honest about all their insecurities, and they are respectful of the choices that they each make. There is always a mystery in each book, Mystery and adventure play a huge role in this series. It seems at times, that there are more dead bodies on the island than living ones. Anyone that wants a good "who done it" will get their money's worth here. Elle Keaton introduces these new mysteries to Piedras Island and then expertly weaves them into the storyline. The suspense builds slowly and every piece of the puzzle links together, until suddenly you find yourself in the middle of one of the best romance and mystery stories you could ever want. ( )
