Deep Tide by Laura Griffin

 💖💖💖💖💖/5

Leyla and Sean’s story in Deep Tide by Laura Griffin, book four in The Texas Murder files series, is an enjoyable romantic suspense with a murder, a touch of mystery, and an instant attraction. Leyla Breda is quite busy getting a new catering business off the ground in addition to her coffee shop. She really doesn’t have time for the instant attraction she feels for a guest at her brother's wedding. After returning to her shop after catering the wedding she discovers the murdered body of one of her baristas, Amelia, outside the shop. FBI agent Sean Moran feels the same instant attraction and also wants to get closer to Leyla; though he’s currently on an undercover assignment. Sean has been working for years on a task force, to infiltrate a syndicate of criminals they suspect of having moved into the small beachside community of Lost Beach, Texas.

 

As her first time acting as lead detective on a case Natalie Lawson, the youngest and only woman on the Lost Beach police force, has few facts to start with, but by chasing leads she uncovers something that the FBI has an interest in. As the clues start coming in, Natalie and Sean know they are dealing with some dangerous people. Leyla is not about to stand by and takes a chance that proves helpful to Sean's case, but his focus is not on the murdered barista. The deeper Leyla gets into this mess, the more Sean fears for her safety. His attraction is growing, and he will do everything he can to protect her. He knows that the murder is just the tip of some very dangerous crimes committed by very nasty people.

 

Ms. Griffin wrote a wonderful, sizzling and suspenseful story that should not be missed. She provided a tale rich with sizzling chemistry, a dangerous situation, national and local law enforcement working together, and endearing secondary characters giving Leyla and Sean a chance for a future together. I highly recommend Deep Tide to other readers.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
