RS Review: Heron's Cove (Sharpe & Donovan) [Hardcover]



I've finished "Heron's Cove" the 2nd book in her Sharpe and Donovan series by Carla Neggers.

Product Description

When your safety depends on living a lie

After escaping certain death, deep-cover agent Colin Donovan is back home on the Maine coast with his new love, FBI art crimes expert Emma Sharpe. Then Tatiana Pavlova, a London-based jewelry designer, arrives in Heron's Cove, asking for Emma's help — a prized collection from a lost era of Russian opulence, decadence and rare beauty has resurfaced, and Tatiana warns Emma it's about to be stolen again. And Colin realizes his nightmare isn't over. It's just begun.

And everyone you love is a target
Emma guards her past closely, and Colin is determined to unlock her secrets. As they investigate the mysterious collection and the equally mysterious Tatiana, they confront their greatest challenge. Now they must count on their expertise — and each other — to outwit an enemy who wants to destroy them and everyone they love most.

My Review:
 
FBI agent Colin Donovan is deep undercover and he realizes his cover is blown. He barely escapes with his life when the calvary arrives.

FBI agent Emma Sharpe a former nun and has ties to her family's business Sharpe's Fine Art Recovery is enjoying whiskey tasting with Colin's three brother's and his priest friend Father Finian Bracken at Hurley's in Rock Point Maine. She gets a call from a long time trusted contact that her man is in trouble and the address. She places a call to her boss Matt Yankowski to secure Colin's escape.
Russian billionaire Dmitri Rusakov with his trusted security friend Ivan Alexander arrive in Heron's Cove bringing trouble with them. Also mysterious Tatiana Pavlova, a London-based jewelry designer, arrives in Heron's Cove, asking for Emma's help — a prized collection from a lost era of Russian opulence, decadence and rare beauty has resurfaced, and Tatiana warns Emma it's about to be stolen again.

I really like Emma and Colin together because they understand each other though I wish they would talk to each other instead of getting upset or getting frustrated then walk away.

I really enjoyed the art aspect and I really like how Ivan cares about Emma and would make sure nothing happened to her.
3.5/5

I remember reading the first book in this series and really enjoying it. I know I wanted to read Heron's Cove at one point but it's been sort of pushed back on my TBR pile. I want to meet Emma and Colin again. It sounds like they're still working on their relationship. Hopefully it works out and the mystery is a good one.
