Sunny Shelly’s Review: Rogue Wave by Allison Bettes

ROGUE WAVE by Allison Bettes is AVAILABLE NOW

Blurb:

The sexy but grumpy sheriff next door is the last man Hazel ever wanted to ask for help—but when her backyard turns into a crime scene… Hank is her only option.

Hazel:

I’m a marine biologist by day, chaos magnet by night. I get paid to study beach life—not to find evidence from a crime that washed up after a storm. When I accidentally uncovered something that was meant to stay buried, I found myself tangled up in mystery and danger – and increasingly tangled with Hank McAllister, the divorced, decade-older, infuriatingly hot sheriff next door.

Hank:

Hazel O’Hara is my infuriatingly hot neighbor that always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. We shouldn’t work—but when a sudden storm rolls in and things turn dangerous, we’re forced to rely on each other, and my resolve to not get involved with her quickly fades away.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Rogue Wave was really cute and fun story from an author who is new to me. Hazel and Hank had great chemistry, and the snarky banter-foreplay between them was off the charts. There were so many laugh-out-loud moments between grumpy sheriff Hank and sunshiney Hazel.

It was a nice touch the way the author wove in tidbits about sea life through Hazel’s work as a marine biologist, and I enjoyed the suspense angle in this story. In the beginning, Hazel was a major thorn in Hank’s side, but it’s one of my favorite things to see a gruff hero completely melt as he tries to protect a woman.

I tend to read books by the same group of authors, but every now and then I venture out to a new author, and I quite enjoyed Allison Bettes’ story here!

I received a complimentary copy and voluntarily left a review.

Welcome to My World of Romance and Suspense!

I weave stories of mystery, romance, and suspense. Dive in and join me on this heart-pounding journey, where every twist and turn brings new surprises and adventure. If you enjoy characters who are brave, sassy, and beautifully flawed, you’re in the right place.

I’m a meteorologist/science writer by day, but a romantic suspense author at heart. My journey into the world of romance and suspense started when my grandma handed me her well-worn copies of Danielle Steel and Nora Roberts novels—I was hooked.

During Covid times, with time on my hands and a need for catharsis, I dove into writing my own romantic suspense novels. Fast forward several years and four novels later, I’m ready to share my stories with the world. My books are a thrilling blend of romance, mystery, and suspense — think Cupid Meets Crime Scene.
