Florida Keys Adventure #16
Guardian in the Keys
The plan was airtight.
The murder unpreventable.
That was until Logan Dodge happened to be passing by.
When Jasmine Cruz, a beautiful model and global celebrity, visits Key West for a photoshoot, no one suspects she’s the victim of a sinister scheme lurking beneath the surface.
Not far from the underwater shoot, Logan and his best friend are out for a day of lobster diving and spearfishing when they sense trouble in paradise. Never one to be idle when injustice transpires, the former Navy SEAL dives into action. But saving the celebrity proves to be merely the tip of the iceberg when she reveals a dark and dangerous secret involving a powerful Hollywood mogul. A secret that could not only ruin careers, but put prominent figures behind bars.
Needing to defend their operation at any cost, the vicious tycoon resorts to plan B—dispatching a notoriously ruthless hit team to Key West with one objective: to make Cruz disappear. If Logan can’t save her, no one will. And if she dies, so does the best chance of bringing down the formidable heavy hitter and his inner circle of criminals.
Guardian in the Keys is a rip-roaring, scuba diving, bare-knuckle justice adventure in paradise. Get ready. Things are about to heat up in the Florida Keys.

Not sure why this is now a Florida Keys adventure instead of a Logan Dodge series but it is a typical Logan Dodge book. He and Jack go on their annual last day lobster dive competition to see who gets the biggest spiny lobster when Logan comes upon divers trying to kill a woman. He saves Jasmine Cruz -big star (of course) and then gets caught up in helping her evade a psycho Hollywood bigshot that no one seems to be able to take down.
That is of course until Logan gets in the act. Lots of dead bad guys and typical fast read.

Awesome read
Another great book. I love this series. Unfortunately, Mathew can't write them as fast as I devower them. This one did not disappoint. It was full of action, adventure and I love how much the teens and kids get to be part of the action. If your one that likes the books I review, you will love this one. I think it's even better then the last one, and I love that one.

Matthew Rief has exceeded his fabulous writing skills with this latest Logan Dodge novel. I've enjoyed every one of the books in the series but this was his best effort yet. Could not quit reading as I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Highly recommend reading the books in this series.

Another, absolutely great, Logan Dodge adventure. Everyone in the Dodge family, Pete and Jack, takes part in this book as it take you to the the west coast to LA.
I can't say enough about this series. Buy it and binge it. The worst part of the series is waiting for the next adventure.

Lots of action. I enjoyed the "team" nature of the book and the fact that a married couple is involved. It's always good that justice is served. This was my first book about these characters, and I look forward to reading additional books is this series.

This is another great read. It tells of the good, the bad and the ugly of Hollywood. It's a heartstopper with murder and kidnapping.
