Cape Corral Keeper + Giveaway

Random Retro Read

They agreed to marry. But they never agreed to fall in love.

When Cape Corral Fire Chief Dillon McGrath saves a woman wearing a wedding dress from drowning, he knows he’ll have a great story to tell the guys at the station later. He never expected to get personally involved in the woman’s plight to stay alive.

Gracie Loveland had no choice but to run only moments before saying “I do” to her manipulative fiancé. Staying would have ultimately meant her death at the hands of the cruel man. Desperation, along with a dormant feistiness, surfaces as she fights to survive.

Only one plan might keep Gracie safe and help Dillon preserve the island’s wild horses. The idea seems crazy, but Dillon and Gracie can think of no other options. However, a foe from Gracie’s past is closing in, determined to get what he wants regardless of whose life he destroys in the process.

My Review:

published in 2020

Eeeeppp! Epic Marriage of Convenience story! With suspense! It really doesn’t get better than this!!!

From the nail-biting opening scene that left me with a ton of questions to the hair-raising conclusion — I was enthralled! And the meet-cute is equal parts angsty and funny which sets the tone for the whole book.

Love the way the author handled the marriage of convenience angle and the way Dillon and Gracie work their way from adversaries to lovers. All while trying to thwart a vile villain!

Oh — and hello — cowboy alert! And an island full of wild horses for them to protect. Hence the series title: Saltwater Cowboys. This is the third book in the series though it can easily be read as a standalone, but, trust me, you’ll want to read all these cowboys’ stories!

I enjoyed listening to the audio edition narrated by Stacey Glemboski courtesy of Chirpbooks and am getting ready to download Seagrass Secrets (#4) ’cause I just can’t stay away from this beautiful island and all that cowboy allure!

    1. Honestly, I can totally see that because she publishes books so fast and furiously that it’s daunting for a new reader. I had her on my catch up list last year and gave up. lol Now I’m just trying to jump on board a recent series and hang on for dear life. 🙂 Good luck, Connie!

  4. I love Christy’s books, but another series. Oh my it’s hard to keep up with some of these authors. Seems they can write them faster then I can read them. This one does sound interesting though, so I’ll have to watch for it.

  7. Can’t get much better than combining two great aspects to a story (marriage of convenience and suspense) into one amazing story. That seems to be the case in “Cape Corral Keeper” making it a book I know I’m going to enjoy even before opening up to the first page. Then you get into the not suppose to fall in love part. I was always told never say NEVER! 🙂

    Thank you for the chance to win a copy!

  9. I happily discovered I have this whole boxed set in Kindle version…it was probably part of a freebie promotion or something!! 😊 I’ve been meaning to read these books because I have Breakwater Protector in paperback. Need to move them up on my TBR pile 😂
