Publisher's summary

Skelm Island, Maine, has always been known for two things: lobsters and its broken lighthouse.

But when corpses start showing up in the water, the isolated town becomes the face of a cryptic investigation.

At the heart of which stands Lincoln Porter, a grumpy ex-SEAL whose lobstering business seems to attract more dead bodies than fish.

When homicide expert Detective Sloane is called in to assist with the case, she begins digging up skeletons; ones that Lincoln would rather stay buried.

Forced to work together, Sloane’s suspicious attitude and optimistic demeanor grate on the lobsterman’s nerves, resulting in a rivalry that’s as addicting as it is volatile.

But as everything unravels and they have no one else to trust, Lincoln and Sloane must depend on each other to figure out what secrets should be brought to light...and which secrets should stay hidden.

Be Still My Heart is a full-length, complete stand-alone featuring mature themes and content that may not be suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.

I expected more

struggled to finish . the performance was fine but the story lacked suspense . I didn't feel the connection between the main characters

Lincoln and Morgan

This was my first book by each author, so I was not sure what to expect. The story is about a coastal town that is having several unexplained deaths, and they are pointing to Lincoln as the suspect. Enter Detective Morgan Sloane, who is from the state, or government, and she turns out to be as interested in Lincoln as he is in her. He thinks she’s his childhood friend who had a mysterious disappearance and declared death. As she works the case with her partner Alex, with no help from the local PD, more bodies show up. The heat in this book, I’ll give it a 2.5. The story itself was good, honestly, it was hard to finish, but I did want to see what happened. I like the narrators, and I’m not sure if they have a choice in the matter, but I really don’t like when they have to voice the narration for the other people talking. Example - Lincoln is talking to his mother, so the male narrator speaks both parts.. not my favorite at all.

Plot

I mean you think you saw some things coming, but then when they do you get another surprise. I really enjoyed this book & Link ❤️❤️❤️

Great mystery

Love a good Emily Mcintire. Used to her other titles. Pleasantly surprised how much I loved this one. So twisty.

Great Beach read

I actually read a non spoiler review that kind of gave the mystery away for me. with that being said I feel like the book would have been 10x better if I didn't figure out who the who done it person was. The story does have trigger warnings so check those before starting it. It did take me a minute to love the main characters but in the end i did warm up to them. the smut was good and happened alot! This wasn't my cup of tea when it came to enemies to lovers but all in all I did enjoy it. The epilogue really made it all tie together and I had a smile on my face at the ending. <3

Romance Suspense at its BEST!!!!

🌟 5 stars 🌟
I haven't enjoyed a book this much in a while. It was amazing. Steaminess and suspense. and really always kept me intrigued. I love how their relationship started with so much animosity towards each other.
Highly recommend!

Just need a little more depth

Performance was great. I just wanted a little more depth. Plot was choppy like multiple ideas just pieced together to make a story. But over all I enjoyed the story.

Not good.

This book is not well written. The story isn’t believable and most of the dialogue is cheesy. The detective is terrible at her job and is an even worse partner. The ex-SEAL is an absolute jackass until SUDDENLY he’s the exact opposite. Wasted time.

Twisty

DESCRIPTION:
Sloane: My whole life I thought I was Morgan Sloane. I wanted nothing more than to be a detective that is what led me back to Skelm Island to figure out what was going on and who was killing these women. The moment Lincoln saw me he knew he knew me, but couldn’t place it. He didn’t like me as much as I didn’t like him. However, I was here to do a job and he wouldn’t get in my way.

MY THOUGHTS:
This book had a good twist to it. I loved how Morgan and Lincoln started out and how they both didn’t see it coming, he just took and she loved it. Overall it was a cute story with a good ending. The twist in this book just kept coming. It was a little dark in the sense that there was child SA involved. I would check the trigger warnings in this book, but other than that it was a good book.

Finally a Spicy that is actually hot

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was looking for a murder mystery that had a greatly story, a strong female lead, and actual Spicy content that was sexy and realistic. excellent read. completed this in 2 days and I have kids. that speaks volumes for this book. I made time to listen to it and complete. I was hanging onto every word.
