Rising Wind by Edie James My Review

 

About the book 

She lives life by her own rules. Trust no one is first on the list.

He's sworn to protect her, but the secrets she's holding back will get them both killed.

Being a middle son in the hard-driving MacKenzie family, Harbor patrol officer Teo MacKenzie knows how to tow the line and stay out of trouble. He works hard, plays hard, and prays hard.

But the day he finds an unconscious woman adrift on an outgoing tide, all the rules he's lived by evaporate, because if he's going to keep Dr. Kendall Rodriguez alive, he'll need to rewrite every single one of them.

After a hardscrabble childhood in foster care, Kendall Rodriguez can hardly believe she's landed her dream job as a clinical researcher for an up and coming firm testing a revolutionary new drug. But her dream becomes a life-threatening nightmare when she discovers the new miracle drug kills.

Now she's running for her life. Trust the wrong person, and it's game over, but without help, she won't live long enough to expose the cover up.

If Teo MacKenzie and his clan aren't the answer, she's as good as dead.

Welcome to MacKenzie Cove, a small beach town full of big secrets…and deadly lies. Join the tight-knit MacKenzie clan as they dodge killers and unravel mysteries, finding love and renewed faith along the way. A series of clean, inspirational action adventure romances, each guaranteed to lift your heart.

And I thought   

It is hard to say but I think so far I liked this one the best in this new to me series. 

I got the 3 book collection  over the weekend.  I am enjoying the audio collection. 

I just really liked Teo.  He's got some hidden hurts that he is dealing with but he is moving on and trying to work through.  

When he gets the call to rescue a Mermaid he immediately  thinks the old fisherman that reported it is off his rocker again.   

But sure enough the Mermaid turns out to be a 'Real' Woman and she is beautiful.  

Kendall The 'Mermaid' is scared.  Running and afraid to trust. 

With patience  and dedication Teo wins her heart and her trust. 

I had two favorite  scenes  . . .

When the homeless lady saves The 'Mermaid', Teo and Dante. 

And when Chip and Kendall are hiding in the yachts engine room.  

I also enjoyed that the old fisherman that initially rescued Kendall reappeared in the end all cleaned up  with a new haircut and shave and new clothes so he could go to church.  

Was it Kendall  or Teo that  thanked the fisherman? 

I really  have to say this series gets better with each title. 

I will be reading Book 4 soon.
