4.5 Stars
A clean romantic suspense that can easily be read as a stand-alone, even though it's part of a series. Intriguing MCs and supporting characters, a beautifully described setting in the SW US, and a fast-paced murder mystery/police procedural. A quick and easy read. I enjoyed this book so much, I plan to go back and read the previous ones in this series. ( )

Ms. Pettrey gives us another thriller story to wrap up the Coastal Guardian series. Em and Logan are investigators in North Carolina but upon hearing of the murder of Logan’s grandfather, they travel to a ranch in New Mexico to find out what happened to Colt, the man who raised Logan.
With the regret that he had not visited his grandpa during the holidays, Logan digs in to solve the crime. Lots of things do not add up. And the girl who Colt befriended seems to hold the clues. But she is nowhere to be found.
Excitement and danger are never far behind Logan and Em and romance is not either. A great story with an underlying faith thread and a romance that teases you with: will they tell each other how they feel- or not?

I have been looking forward to Emmy and Logan’s story for so long and this novella was all that I could have asked for…and more! I loved seeing Emmy offering comfort, support, and strength to Logan as he dealt with the incredibly difficult task of helping to investigate his own grandfather’s murder. There were so many special times when you could see the heart of these two characters for each other. And when they began to acknowledge the reality of their feelings….well, cue plenty of swoonworthy moments, please!

This story had some great suspense, a wonderful setting in New Mexico, a beautiful blossoming of romance, and such a great epilogue! This will definitely be a book I will enjoy rereading.

If you have read the Coastal Guardians series, you will appreciate a wrap up to the characters in the series. However, you can jump into this novella and enjoy it even if you have not read the other books.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, however, I also preordered an ecopy for myself and one for my daughter, as well. All opinions are my own. ( )

Since the first time Logan and Emmy appeared on a page together in Dani Pettrey’s Coastal Guardians series, I wanted more of their story. And oh boy, did Pettrey deliver in The Shifting Current.

This book serves as a bridge between the author’s last series and her upcoming one (as a former resident of New Mexico, I’m looking forward to a full series set there!) but more importantly, it is chock full of the (finally) blooming relationship between Emmy and Logan and suspense that will keep you guessing.

This investigation is personal for Logan and as Emmy supports and comforts him, you can see what a great team they make—in both investigations and in life. And that epilogue? Totally worth the wait!

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!
