Teagan Oliver's first novel is romance and suspense all rolled into one. You will enjoy the realistic portrayal of folks and surroundings in Coastal Maine. Looking forward to more books by Teagan!

I LOVED THIS BOOK. The author keeps you on the edge of your seat and guessing. I hated to see it end!! Look out Nora Roberts!! Cannot wait for another book by this author!!

Obsidian is wonderful! This romantic suspense has plenty of riveting action. Teagon Oliver has a wonderful knack for description and engaging compelling characters. Jamie and Shelby's dominant issue is trust in their relationship and you root for them throughout! Looking forward to more books by this author!

Obsidian was filled with twists and turns that kept this reader guessing until the very last chapter. I enjoyed watching the characters grow as they worked together to solve the mystery in a Maine coastal community. Obsidian definitely belongs on my keeper shelf.

The explosion on a boat killed his best friend, Coast Guard Special Investigation Unit partner David while leaving Jamie Rivard physically battered and mentally worse. The Coast Guard places Jamie on sick leave while he heals. However, his Commanding Officer McAlvey says that there is evidence that David illegally sold guns and if Jamie wants to quietly and unofficially investigate to prove otherwise he should.

Jamie travels to Chandler, Maine where he obtains work with John Case, who is the prime suspect in the weapons trafficking. He also meets John's niece harbormaster Shelby Teague, whose husband died on the ocean which her brother apparently emulates the recklessness of her late spouse. As Jamie begins to uncover the shocking truth, he and Shelby fall in love, but neither seems to trust the other with the full truth while a behind the scenes Machiavelli type manipulates everyone involved.

OBSIDIAN is an entertaining investigative romantic suspense that hooks readers with the boat explosion that kills David and severely injures Jamie. The relationship between the lead couple enhances Jamie's inquiries because he does not trust her as she obviously is loyal to and loves her Uncle John, his prime suspect while she has doubts about men with secrets especially after the escapades of her spouse and new her brother. Though the criminal mastermind seems over the moon, readers will enjoy accompanying Jamie as he explore coastal Maine seeking the truth about his late partner and his heart.
