ABOUT THE BOOK:
The wrath is coming" were the final words that FBI agent Declan Grey heard the suicide bomber say. Now Declan is in the chase of his life--but isn't sure exactly what he's chasing after or when the threat will be unleashed on American soil. When his investigation's best clue leads him to a closed immigrant community, he turns to Tanner Shaw for assistance. She's sought justice for refugees and the displaced around the world, and if there's anyone who can help him, it's Tanner.
Tanner Shaw has joined the FBI as a crisis counselor . . . meaning she now has more opportunity to butt heads with Declan. As they work together to uncover the mounting threat, the tension between them also includes a spark she can't deny--and she's pretty sure Declan feels the same. But before anything more can develop, they find themselves in a race against time to stop the coming "wrath" that could cost thousands their lives.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Praised by New York Times bestselling author Dee Henderson as "a name to look for in romantic suspense," Dani Pettrey's novels have sold more than 300,000 copies. Dani combines the page-turning adrenaline of a thriller with the chemistry and happy-ever-after of a romance novel. Her novels stand out for their "wicked pace, snappy dialogue, and likable characters" (Publishers Weekly), "gripping storyline[s]," (RT Book Reviews), and "sizzling undercurrent of romance" (USA Today).
Dani's adventure-focused Alaskan Courage series climbed the CBA bestseller lists, with Submerged staying in the top twenty for five consecutive months. The five-book series also won multiple awards, including the Daphne du Maurier Award, two HOLT Medallions, and Christian Retailing's Best Award, among others. She turns her attention to crime and law enforcement in her home state of Maryland in her new Chesapeake Valor series, starting with Cold Shot, which Library Journal called, "a harrowing and thrilling ride."

MY REVIEW:
This book continues the Chesapeake Valor series. I have read the other books and recommend that you do, too, as you will probably be a bit lost regarding story-line and characters if you don't.
I had a hard time getting into this book for some reason. I have always enjoyed Dani Pettrey's books so was surprised that this was a slow start for me. I prevailed, though, and did finally start getting into the story about a third of the way through. I really don't like books that take me a while to get into them.
This story focuses on Declan and Tanner.and their investigation into a terrorist/smuggling ring. This was an intense mystery and definitely made this book exciting. I think I would have liked it better had the story focused solely on this story instead of introducing another mystery on the side with the other characters we have come to love from the other books.
I enjoyed this book but not as much as her others. I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
