Between a Rock and a Hard Place

He lost everything to injury

Forced to retire early from his beloved Coast Guard, Mack McDevitt still can’t believe he’s landed in Door County, Wisconsin. When an old Coastie friend asks him to help with a surveillance job, Mack eagerly agrees. Little does he know he’ll end up watching a very attractive—and very single—college student, and her mobbed-up neighbor.

Wrong time, wrong place

Summer is over, but Janelle Torgerson is still at her family’s lake cabin, finishing her master's thesis. The island is quiet this time of year, and her visit to the shore should have been routine. But when she interrupts some unsavory visitors next door, she has no choice but to flee for her life.

Janelle may hold the key to Mack’s surveillance gig. Can he keep her safe long enough to untangle the mystery?

Between Sleep and Finishing this Book!

What a page turner! I still can’t believe this is Kenna Ebersole’s first novel. I love a good series so am excited that there are several more to follow. Janelle is just finishing grad school and meets Mack who is just out of the Coast Guard. She’s pretty and he’s hot. They are on an island in Lake Michigan. It’s obvious that the author knows her setting well. Her description of the island took me right there. The characters are well drawn so much so that I feel I know them already. She has put together a believable plot with the right amount of detail. I’m looking forward to where this budding relationship takes them. Although this is definitely a romance there is enough of a mystery to keep me interested on both counts.

I’ve been searching months for a new romantic suspense author with a great storyline and strong characters. This book did not disappoint. The book introduces various supporting characters for future stories. A good mystery but you can tell there’s more to the story. Characters and dialogue flow well and I always enjoy seeing the story from both sides of the romance. Looking forward to Lauren and Tyler’s book.
