Malice at the Marina (The Lost Girls Book 4)

What a great conclusion to The Lost Girls Series! Each book can be read as a standalone, but I do recommend reading the complete series for your enjoyment. I was waiting for Cool Breeze to get his book and it did not disappoint. I like that he was human, struggling to protect those he loved but willing to listen when he's told he was viewing the situation as a brother, not as a cop. Mia the US Marshall and Billy provided page turning reading with suspense, intrigue and some steam. Thank you for the arc! I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions! #maliceatthemarina #lostgirls #carolericson #harlequinintrique #paperback

This was an entertaining, well-written book. It was suspenseful, steamy and action packed. I didn't want to put it down. This book can be read as a standalone story, though it is book 4 in the Lost Girls series. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books by this author.

Billy is hot on the trail of a lead in his desperate search for his missing sister, Sabrina. It’s been a long 5 years for this homicide detective. At his partner Jace’s wedding, he meets the beautiful, mysterious Mia. He doesn’t believe in coincidence when they repeatedly meet. Learning that Mia is a US Marshal also looking for Chantel/ Sabrina. They hesitantly work together to uncover what Sabrina is up to and where she is before it’s too late. Exciting conclusion to the Lost Girls series. 4.5*

I have been waiting for Billy Crouch's story for quite some time! He's been a character in the Lost Girls series and while a good detective, he's been a playboy & not always likeable! However, he was so intense on finding his missing sister who vanished without a trace and that was understandable! It pretty much cost him his marriage although that was beginning to get rocky before the sister went missing. His nickname is "Cool Breeze" and it fits him - snappy dresser, playboy, etc. This story is about him finding out his sister might be alive after 5 years and he can't believe it. Enter US Marshal, Mia Romano. She keeps showing up and Billy is attracted to her but he doesn't know she's a Marshal, until he follows a lead about his sister and Mia has to declare her true self to stop him from making a mistake! Mia and Billy have sizzling attraction from the beginning! They also work well together in following leads regarding Sabrina (Billy's sister). There is a lot of mob action and trying to figure out who is shooting who! I loved the story and the ending!I received a copy from the author but wasn't obligated to review it. These are my thoughts.

LAPD Detective Billy ‘Cool Breeze’ Crouch has spent years trying to find his baby sister. It has haunted his life and his career. Until, one day, he gets a hint that is sister might be alive. But how to find her? That’s when he stumbles into an investigation led by the US Marshall service trying to locate one of their witnesses who’s gone on the run. The witness is his sister.I’ve seen Billy as a minor character in several of Carol Ericson’s books. It’s finally time to see him as the star of the book. Both he and his sister deserve their ‘Happily Ever After’. I enjoyed this book, maybe because I’ve been hoping to discover the whereabouts of Sabrina too. Packed with non-stop action and plenty of suspense, this story has been a long time coming. I love the way the author captured and held my interest as the facts of the case slowly are revealed.

Great mystery book that is part of the lost girls series. You do not have to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this book but since all of the books are great you might want to read the whole series just to have the whole background to the story. Malice in the Marina was an interesting story because you have some romance between two law enforcement main characters Billy and Mia, and then the two worked well together to solve the case of Billy's missing sister. I highly recommend this book and anything written by Carol Ericson.

I've been waiting for Billy to get his story and it doesn't disappoint. In the first 3 books in the Lost Girls series, Billy Crouch has been in involved the investigations of these missing girls, always dreading getting the call to identify a dead woman who may be his sister. It has been 5 long years, now he gets a lead. Wait until you meet the US Marshall who is also tracking down leads on Billy's sister. This story has action, suspense, and some steamy moments. You'll also get to visit Kyra & Jake's wedding. I received an Arc copy of this book, read it, and have chose to leave this review.

4 1/2 STARS!Attention grabbing and addictive! If you've been enjoying Carol Ericson's The Lost Girls series, you will recognize the hero of this book Billy Crouch, an LAPD homicide detective who has been searching for his missing sister for years. The jig is up in this book and he finds out the whereabouts of Sabrina finally and it's a race against time with US Marshall Mia Romano to keep his sister safe until they can finally be reunited. I was hooked from start to finish!Billy has been an attractive character every time that he's interacted on the pages of a book in this series. He's smart and astute at his job and charismatic and friendly to all. I really enjoyed getting up close and personal with his story.Mia is a good match for him. She is also good at her job and determined to right wrongs, but she has a softer side that interacts well with Billy.I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys intrigue mixed with your romance as danger is always nearby as love conquers all.
