Darcy from Stranded by Dani Pettrey

“Stranded” is the third book in Dani Pettrey’s Alaska Courage series.  I loved the first two books for their exciting plots & captivating characters.  With this sequel Dani has proved her consistency to enthrall, leaving nothing to disappoint her readers!  With every installment she gives a thrilling and satisfying adventure, while setting the stage for the next story.

When Darcy was introduced in the previous book I was eager to see what trouble she’d get into next.   Her story starts five months after the events in “Shattered.”  Five months of being away from Alaska, five months of being away from Gage Mckenna.  As the story begins Darcy & Gage find themselves together again, both having taken temporary jobs aboard the Bering cruise ship.  While Gage is aboard to lead passengers on adventure excursions, Darcy is using her adventure journalist position to find her missing friend Abby, and uncover the dark truth Abby was investigating before her disappearance.

Darcy is a girl who loves the hunt.  As a former investigative reporter she’s bold to a fault, yet her tender heart brings balance to her ambitions.  Gage has a tough exterior, but inside has been hurting over the loss of his infant son and the destroyed relationship with his former fiancé.  As Darcy deals with her ambitious desires and Gage finds healing from his past, they both become entangled in a race to save Abby from a terrible fate!

If you’ve read Dani’s previous books this one won’t disappoint.  If you haven’t, there’s enough to jump in and start reading any of the stories, but you’ll miss out on enjoying some of the character’s history with each other if you do.  For thrilling adventure, suspense, and romance this is the series to turn to!
