Katie joins SBW’s exchange group still hiding a secret that could put the entire team at risk. After two exchange disasters, the team goes up against someone dumping toxic lab waste. Time has run out for Katie to conquer her demons.

Peal built his exchange team into a highly effective unit and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep it running smoothly. When Katie freezes up during a critical phase of the mission, she sets off a marine park alarm. She may be beautiful but if she keeps endangering the missions, he’ll be forced to send her back to SBW.

—–> REVIEW <—–

 (review request submitted by the author for an honest critique) 

A plot centered around toxic waste and an assassin might seem like a heavy, non-enjoyable read but CJ added enough humor and romance to keep things light. Her aquatic catchphrases such as “cod crap”, “squid shit” and “shark shit” kept me smiling. 
 
The emotional retelling of Katie’s encounter with a shark will have you connecting with her character, if you weren’t already. 
 
Speaking of connecting to characters: I didn’t feel any emotion towards Brian, Pete, or Charles. They were just BLAH roles BUT I did heart Peal big time. He was a sweet, strong, considerate man/dolphin who knew how to romance a lady/dolphin. 
 
Yup, he would make most ladies dream of being Katie. Well, not this chick. That’s because I dislike the taste of lobster and those two ate it entirely way too much. Now, if I could be a dolphin and eat tacos 24-7. Ha… yeah, I don’t that would go over well in the shifter community. Guess I’ll stay human. 🙂

    • Just don't have them eat at Del Taco. I ate their once and let's just say we didn't go back. Now, I do love Taco Bell and Moe's. Just sayin'

  7. It does sound like a wonderful series. I love dolphins. Y'all talking about fish tacos is crazy, though. LOL

    • Crazy in a good way, though. 🙂
      BTW: I actually love me some fish tacos. 😀

    • Hi Hebby!
      Welcome to the fun craziness!
      I love dolphins too, and in my books, I slide in little ideas about how the dolphins would want to help us protect the oceans.
      Sounds like Taco Bell will become a "dolphin drive-thru" in Lethal Tide. ;-D
      The series doesn't need to be read in order but when I "find" a new author, I always start with book 1- Pls let me know what you think of my shifters.
      CJ
