This is the third book in the Chesapeake Valor series, the story of Declan and Tanner. This time they have to work together because evil is once again coming. When they meet again sparks fly, both trying to fight the attraction and wondering why now, why him/her. The author once again did an amazing job tying the series together, cannot wait for the next installment. Thank you NetGalley and Dani Pettrey for allowing me to read this ARC and write a honest review.

I've been really looking forward to Declan and Tanner's story and I thoroughly enjoyed it. With a terrorist threat above their heads, will these two be able to put all the pieces together quietly and safely in time to stop the attack?

One thing that I absolutely adore from this series is the interaction between the characters. They're really a team, ready to stick up for each other. They tease and joke around, but they also honestly worry and protect. It's very endearing and delightful. In this book, there are two main mysteries that the team has to solve, and a small third mystery which is an introduction to the next book.... so enough excitement to keep the pages turning. I have to say though, the only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars was that I missed more character development. I missed getting to know them more personally and even the romance felt a bit straightforward for two people who used to enjoy bickering each other. Plus, during some parts, I felt like we were spending too much time on what I thought would be the secondary mystery, and not the main one involving Declan and Tanner.

All in all, I was still able to find myself completely involved in the story. And that ending, ughhhh... now to patiently wait for the next book ;-)
