Description from the publisher:
Their second chance at love turns
lethal when a man from Ginny’s past is determined to
see her dead.
Navy Chief Cooper Talon is on leave only long enough to clean out his dad’s house and shut the door on the abuse he suffered there. He takes a break to go camping with a high school buddy, never expecting to run into his friend’s younger sister, Ginny—the girl he secretly adored twelve years ago. Her sweet teasing sends his pulse into overdrive, but with an upcoming deployment to the Middle East, it would be wrong to make a play for her heart. But when someone stalks her, his protective instincts kick in.
After the terror of an abduction overseas, travel photographer Ginny Bradley returns home to Crescent Cove, Maine. A camping trip with her brother will put her nightmares to rest, and meeting up with Cooper makes the weekend complete. When did the skinny teenager she had the hots for in high school grow into this gorgeous, self-assured man? Thousands of miles will soon separate them, but something powerful draws them together. Until someone threatens her life. Only Cooper’s military-trained instincts stand between her and this menace.
With the hours ticking down to Cooper’s deployment, they must discover who wants to hurt Ginny, all while fighting the growing attraction they’re helpless to resist. Because the incidents are escalating. And while long-distance romances rarely survive, they end permanently when threats turn lethal.
This book was a 2018 RWA® Golden Heart Finalist in the Romantic Suspense Category.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FEARLESS is the first book in the Crescent Cove Romantic Suspense series. I don’t know about the rest of the series,
but I would definitely encourage you to read this one first as it establishes
many of the main characters.
I was so caught up in this book that
I kept stealing away to read bits and pieces when I was supposed to be
working. This is a stoplight book (you
know – if you’re at a stoplight, you’ll read, even if it’s just one more
paragraph). If you can, order a pizza
and put up the “do not disturb” sign.
Not only is this a romantic
suspense, it is a second chance at a romance with the geek she crushed on who
turned into a mega-hunk Seabee – yumma yumma!
(It is so a word!)
I loved Ginny and Cooper’s
story. It is well written, suspenseful,
romantic, and super-hot. I loved how
Ginny went from scared to regaining her confidence while retaining her femininity. It is such a fine line that we all walk and
the author wrote it with flair! I loved
that Cooper encouraged, but didn’t belittle.
He was always willing to be her hero and her supporter. In my book, that makes him a man inside and
out.
I’m looking forward to Eli and Mia’s
story, RUTHLESS. There has already been
enough said to know that Eli will offer his heart fully. I only hope Mia isn’t too brutal before she
fully claims it.
The author was kind enough to
provide the titles of the next three books in the series. They can’t come soon enough for my greedy
little fingers. Marlie May has released
three books so far; I’ve read all three and I’m officially a fan!
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC
via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
