Description from the publisher:
When a costly mistake ends Malorie
Montgomery’s career, she returns to Cape Cod in search of a fresh start. But
her plans for a new—and quiet—life are quickly derailed when she makes a grisly
discovery in the woods, and her screams bring the one person from her past
she’d hoped to avoid. Dean Slater, the ex-boyfriend who broke her heart in high
school, now lives in the beachfront community that was supposed to be her
haven…and he’s just as hot as he was six years ago.
With his rough background, Dean always knew he wasn’t good enough for the kind, intelligent beauty who claimed his heart, but somehow he’d believed their love was strong enough to survive anything—until the tragic night she turned her back on him when he needed her trust the most. Despite their painful history, Dean can’t resist the instinct to protect her, especially when it becomes apparent there’s a killer in their town.
Their former chemistry soon reignites, but Malorie has long accepted that her dark family secret has destined her to a life alone. And when she uncovers evidence that makes her the killer’s target, a deadly confrontation threatens to destroy any possibility of a second chance.

DANGEROUS CURRENTS is a stand-alone,
second-chances, suspense romance.
I loved the intense emotion that
filled every page of this wonderful story.
Dean and Malorie are high school
sweethearts reunited under grisly circumstances and fighting to develop a
relationship despite past misunderstandings, assumptions, and secrets. Their attraction is palpable, though Malorie
fights it every step of the way. Family
secrets block their path to happily ever after.
I loved that Dean and Malorie talk
to each other as adults should. They are
no longer the teenagers they were when they met.
Once they drop their walls and lean
on one another they are both stronger.
Isn’t that the way of life. That’s
what I love about Kathryn Knight’s writing.
She creates characters that I love and can believe in being real.
The suspense plot was well thought out
and hints were dropped in small bits along the way. The build up was perfectly timed and the
reveal was a beautifully orchestrated piece of heart stopping action – just the
way I like it.
This is the third book I have read
from this author and I couldn’t be happier to say that I have been invited to
read her newest release, THE HAUNTING OF HILLWOOD FARM. You now have that review to be watching for
in the near future.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC
via BookSprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
