Darkwater Descent by Paige Edwards, Book Review

 

Book Summary:

The wrong discovery. The right woman. Deadly consequences.

While exploring a shipwreck in the Cayman Islands, Scottish dive master Roddy Henderson discovers a hidden underwater listening device and unwittingly places himself in the crosshairs of a ruthless Albanian crime boss–an elusive master of disguise who has evaded capture for decades. Now Roddy may be the only person who can identify him.

MI6 auditor Everly Pattinson’s mother is dying of ALS, and though Everly longs to spend every possible moment with her, the medical expenses require Everly to accept an overseas project assessing suspicious bank activity in the Caymans. Following a hunch, she takes an unauthorized risk and is caught and expelled from the island without a chance to say goodbye to Roddy, the handsome dive instructor she has fallen for. Eager to reestablish her tarnished reputation with MI6, Everly poses as a plus-one for a high-ranking British Intelligence official.

After narrowly surviving an attempt on his life, Roddy retreats to his native Scotland. There, at a glittering social event, he unexpectedly runs into Everly, on the arm of someone else–someone Roddy knows. Before she can explain, the Albanian crime boss walks through the door.

Convinced Everly deceived him from the beginning, Roddy wants nothing more to do with her. When the killer threatens the people he loves, Roddy must team up with Everly and MI6. Hunting a master of deception forces him to confront not only a deadly enemy, but also the painful past that drove him from Scotland–and the possibility that trusting Everly could either heal his deepest wounds or destroy him for good.

My Review:

Edwards weaves a masterful suspense story in this latest installment in the Roxburgh Scions series! Roddy is easy on the eyes and on the heart and I swear anyone would be swept away by him. I loved Everly’s quirks and her ability to stay true to herself. This story brings the two together in a way neither imagined. Who is after them and why? And when they find out who it is, can they defeat him and will they find love along the way? A wonderful romantic suspense story that has all of the feels! Darkwater Descent is one story you don’t want to miss! I received a complimentary copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Happy Reading!
