Caught in a riptide of secrets and mistakes…
The scandal didn’t just end my career. I lost my reputation. My family. My future.
Fate handed me a fresh start. Working patrol in a small beach town in Maine keeps me hidden from the world and out of trouble. ‘License and registration, please’ is about all the social life I’m looking for these days.
When a traumatized runaway crashes into my life, I reluctantly offer refuge, but his dangerously attractive older brother threatens everything. Tanner Weston is powerful. Arrogant. Always in control. He doesn’t deal well with opposition, especially not from a scruffy small-town cop.
We manage to negotiate an uneasy truce to support his brother’s recovery.
Until bullets cut through the peaceful night sky.
Now, I find myself fighting a dangerous shooter and my growing attraction to a man who plans to expose the secrets I’m trying to hide.
Riptide, book 1 in the Saltwater Trilogy, is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, M/M romantic suspense featuring two men with nothing in common but an excess of emotional baggage, so love just doesn’t fall easily into place in the first book. But if you love grit, heart, a good redemption arc, and a hard-won happily ever after, dive into the Saltwater Trilogy today.

I enjoy a good mm romance, so when this book came up for review, I was in.
As stated in the blurb, Sean is hiding out in Maine. He’s trying not to drink away his past, but concentrate on his future, but the past is determined to catch up to him whether he likes it or not. Not only does he save a runaway teenager, but he also finds himself in the middle of a family feud between the teenager’s older brother and sister.
Enter Tanner, cold as ice, and thinking he can buy anyone and anything. But he’s learning he can’t buy Sean.
I must say, I adored Tanner. He’s cooler than a cucumber, a man who plots his way through life, and this temperament mixes like oil and water with Sean’s emotional and high-strung personality, where he reacts to everything. This made for a great pairing of opposites attract.
Then there is the main plot: who is hunting the teenager?
This is pure romantic suspense with twists and turns happening as Sean tries to break the case but comes full circle when his own past is dragged into the mess he’s trying to solve.
I loved how the author kept me guessing, wondering what would happen next.
There are some slow scenes, but they didn’t stall the pacing. Mind you, there are a few flashbacks, and I’m not a fan of those, because everything shown in the flashbacks ends up coming from Sean’s mouth anyway. Still, with that quibble aside, the author did a great job with the first book of this series.
Sean and Tanner have high heat. They seem to be on opposite sides. And since the book ended on a cliffhanger, who knows what will happen next? I wish I had had time to read the trilogy, but my TBR review pile is high. Anyhoo, if you enjoy opposites attract romantic suspense, do yourself a favour and get a copy.

The past comes crashing down. It’s gravity…
Unfinished business is my middle name.
Hiding in my small town in Maine is no longer an option. I have to go back to Chicago and deal with the fallout of the scandal that cost me my family and my career.
Avoiding Tanner Weston is a perk! We’re like fireworks—spectacular in the dark, but plain dangerous in the cold light of day. He tossed me aside so he could focus on reuniting his broken family. I understand.
I wasn’t expecting a warm welcome back home, but I didn’t anticipate running straight into trouble. When I find myself up to my neck in danger—again—it’s Tanner who comes to my rescue. No explanation given. Gloriously arrogant as ever.
Now, we’ll have to join forces and find a way to close the door on my past once and for all.
I can only hope we’ll get it done before it drags Tanner and his innocent, younger brother into the darkness that once nearly destroyed me…
Gravity, book 2 in the Saltwater Trilogy, is a fast-paced, hurt/comfort, M/M romantic suspense featuring two men with nothing in common but an excess of emotional baggage. If you love grit, heart, a good redemption arc, and a hard-won happily ever after, dive into the Saltwater Trilogy today.

Chasing the horizon is a risky endeavor…
My life is finally settling down.
Or so I thought.
Until my best/only friend disappears without a trace. Now, I race against time to unravel her mystery.
It gets worse when my boyfriend’s ex shows up uninvited, trying to convince him to leave our small backwater town—and me—in his rearview. But do I need to face the truth? Tanner Weston was born to charge into battle and rule the world. The place I call home won’t ever be enough for him.
Tough decisions will have to wait, as my past and present collide and old enemies threaten my found family and everyone I love.
Then, the killer snaps his trap…
Horizon,the third and final book in the Saltwater Trilogy, is a fast-paced, hurt/comfort, M/M romantic suspense featuring two men with nothing in common but an excess of emotional baggage.

“What do you want, Weston?” I asked, pinning him with a cold stare.
“I want to take KC with me. And it seems like I’ll need your blessing to do so. I’m here to find out what it’s going to cost me.”
It took a second for the words to sink in. Then liquid rage surged through me. “You think I’d take your money?”
“I want you to pull your claws out of my baby brother. Name your price.”
“What is this? Daytime TV?” I narrowed my eyes and took another step, crowding him against the bar. He didn’t give any ground. Instead, he leaned in.
“Tell me how much, Kelley.”
My mouth went dry. His flushed cheeks, raised chin, and that arrogant twist of a smirk—
Glorious.
No. Hell no! That was the vodka talking…
His gaze snapped to my lips as I darted my tongue over them.
The glow in his eyes told me how much he was enjoying the confrontation. While I was charging like a wounded, angry bull, Weston danced around the arena in tight designer pants in all his fucking glory waving around a red cape.
