Dolphin shifter Conley Nash began his second three-year mission armed with a kick-ass agenda and an attitude to match. Since their team leader was killed, the men in SBW field ops have lost their nerve. Determined to restore the hard line, Conley can’t wait to show them how it’s done, facing down a greedy oil company in Long Beach. Until Conley meets his new partner…and finds his powers of persuasion need work.
First-time shifter Betty Brett can’t believe she finally made it into the male-centric field ops team. Since the first female agent was murdered, before Betty goes solo, she’ll spend four months teamed with an experienced operative. But did it have to be Conley? No matter how temptingly handsome he is, Betty refuses to take grief from a trigger-happy male and certainly not one whose knuckles drag the ground.
When the oil company resorts to violence protecting its illegal fracking operation, Conley finds himself out-gunned. Either he and Betty compromise, fast, or they’ll be dead before they can unravel the perplexing feelings they have for each other.
(review request submitted by the author for an honest critique)
Dolphins are not the most popular shifters out there in the literary world, but CJ has once again constructed a story which is more memorable than most shifters stories I’ve read to date.
The SBW missions do center around hazards to our water sources, a topic not so thrilling, but CJ has made the journey to the final showdown far from boring.
It’s mostly due to the great cast of characters and their interactions with each other.
A) River: the comedian. He had me in stitches in the scene with the cracked ribs. I know you’ll be laughing when you read it, too.
B) Seth: curious little neighbor boy and honorary “agent”. He earned his title because without his countless assists, they would’ve been up shit creek without a paddle.
C) Conley: Alpha dolphin/shifter who learned the value of teamwork. Yup, there’s no I in TEAM.
D) Betty and Marina: two hot geekettes who proved guns weren’t always the best weapon of choice. Nope, sometimes it’s best to let your brain fight your battles for you.
There are many more characters but I’ll stop there.
1.) Chapter 14 – sex in the shower: Sex in the ocean as dolphins. Sex in the shower as humans. Makes no difference to dolphin shifters. Water is sensual whether on or off dry land. Am I right? 😉
2.) Chapter 21: River went to Taco Bell where the lovely Kam was his server. This section absolutely, positively made my day. <3

This book came up on my Facebook suggested sponsored posts and I'm very intrigued. I like shifter books (even those that stray from the traditional wolf, bear, feline shifter books). Will definitely add this to my Goodreads.
Wow, CJ must've arranged for it to be sponsored there. Thank you, CJ!
Thank you Sloane for clicking on the post and commenting.

Hi
Howdy, Rachelle. Thanks for visiting us & entering.
Good luck!!
Hi Rachelle!
Is that a picture of Winter from Dolphin Tale fame? I included her and the Aquarium (not by name) in my Book 2, Risky Tide.
The dolphin shifter's Exchange Team travels the US trading out captive dolphins. I'd love to see Winter's aquarium build sea pens for their "non-releasable dolphins" like the National Aquariun is doing!
Best of luck in the contest!
CJ
