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.
When Malorie returns to live in her childhood vacation house she doesn't expect to find her ex practically living next door much less coming to her rescue when she discovers a nasty scene while walking her dog. Malorie and Dean are made for each other even though they were from "different sides of the tracks". A tragic past keeps getting between them even though their love for each other is undeniable. Malorie is protective, loving and thanks to her dad afraid to let anyone close to her but her bff. Dean is sexy and has made his way in life just fine despite his family's past. Who doesn't love a self made man? The suspense of who done it leaves you on the edge of your seat. If you enjoy a romantic suspense that plays with your mind while the romance tugs at your heart, then Dangerous Currents has to be on you TBR list! 5 Stars
The last place Malorie expected to be was back in the same town as her high school sweetheart and the one man who crushed her heart, Dean. He’s never far from her thoughts but it’s been six years and surely, he’s moved away, right?She’s taking her dog for a walk when she stumbles over a partially buried body. She screams bloody murder and the one man she can’t handle seeing again appears before her. In the flesh and not a part of her wild imagination, Dean appears as if to rescue her. It’s as if the universe is giving her a redo. Can she reveal her long-buried feelings towards him or is it too late? She better figure it out and soon, because there’s a killer on the loose and his sights are set on her.I’m a huge romantic suspense fan and I must admit, Dangerous Currents had me guessing until the very end. Malorie and Dean are addictive to read and I give full credit to the author for the dual POV. Not only did I get a chance to piece together what happened six years ago, but I got to see inside Dean’s heart. He’s a blue-collar guy who work hard to get over his family’s misdeeds. He’s got a lot of pent-up feelings for Malorie and her father yet puts all that aside when her life is in danger.The second-chance romance between Malorie and Dean lit up my e-reader. Talk about intense! There’s plenty of obstacles between these two yet if they can talk it all out, there might be a chance for a happily-ever-after for these two. Serious topics come up including mental illness, drinking, suicide and family drama. Kathryn Knight portrays it all brilliantly and I give her kudos for not glossing over it.I started reading Dangerous Currents and couldn’t stop reading. Yes, it was that good! Highly recommend, especially if you like romantic suspense. 5 Stars
Ms. Knight knows how to bring her characters to life! We are invited into their heads, their hearts, to hear their thoughts, feel their fears...The tension that runs through Kathryn Knight's words, each scene and page, is razor sharp. I love a story where I can honestly say "I didn't see THAT coming!". A second chance romance, layers of suspense...priceless reading! 5 Stars
