Publisher's summary

Investigating the discovery of the body, Sergeant Holly Rudd knows she’s an unwelcome presence in the close-knit community of Bamfield. But she doesn’t expect the residents to be spooked by the mere sight of her. What rattles Holly even more, though, is her overwhelming desire for diver and former Special Forces soldier Finn Carver.

Finn has no doubt that the corpse he found while diving was a victim of foul play - just as there’s no doubt that he wants Holly. Now the two will have to come together to outwit a criminal who’s already gotten away with murder.

Boringly Dissapointed

Every time (EVERY time) the "hero" and "heroine" of this story glance at one another, the plot (such as it is) comes to a dead standstill while whichever protagonist currently holds POV indulges in paragraphs of lustfilled thoughts and then more paragraphs thinking about why it's a bad idea. Over and over again to the point of being stupid.
You expect some of that in romantic suspense but Ms. Anderson manages to make it boring and repetitive instead of using it for character development and excitement. Added to her penchant for having her characters talk almost exclusively in lame cliches, it renders the book almost listenable.
Having said that over 80% of people rated this book 4 or 5 so maybe this style is not for me.

Emily Beresford was good with the delivery of the story.

Riveting

Exciting. Great narration. Intriguing depiction of characters. Riveting story line. Plot twists unpredictable. I look forward to more from this author.

Another romance novel.

I guess I should have known that this would be a romance novel but I didn't read the reviews. The narrator doesn't handle the male voice very well.

Very poor performance and immature writing style

What would have made Dangerous Waters better?

I would like to say a different narrator, but the story is a very immature story line.

What was most disappointing about Toni Anderson’s story?

Very immature writing style; the story line seemed to be more about the sexual innuendos then solving of the murders.

How could the performance have been better?

It is very obvious the narrator is attempting to impersonate a male voice. However, it is poorly done and very distracting when you are trying to listen to the reader.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Dangerous Waters?

I would definitely do away with the sexual undertones and innuendos, the curse words especially the f word. The use of these gimmicks to make a story more interesting is in very poor taste and leaves the writing talent questionable.

Any additional comments?

I would not recommend this book.

Great story

I really enjoyed this one! It is very well written and I was engaged the entire time. There were quite a few twists and turns as the story developed and the connection the to the murders from 30 years ago. I loved watching Holly and Finn as they both wanted to figure out who the murderer was but they were trying to deny any attraction between them. This story had plenty of action and intrigue as they had to figure out who was lying and what the truth was. It was well done and I am excited for the next book in the series.
The narrator did a great job with bringing the characters and the story to life.
