Well Cutter is just in rare form this book. I mean we knew he was an a$$ but now we get to dive deeper into the flawed man with an attitude. A hell breaks out in this book. Valentina is Il Padrones bodyguard and during a hit on the mafia kingpin, she sees Cutter and thinks he’s responsible; at the same time Cutter sees Valentina and thinks she’s responsible. The truth of the matter is much more sinister.
Valentina is a bada$$! I think anyone willing to take on Cutter has to be! Cutter is like an onion, layers upon layer, stinks and can get you misty eyed! These two in the same vicinity is just an explosion waiting to happen.
Wow, the twists the turns, the storyline, modern day pirates, kick a$$ women, deadly alpha males, this series is quickly becoming one of my faves! Will I keep reading? Yep, I can’t wait for Preachers story! Do I recommend? Yep, tbh I recommend all of Gwyn’s books!!

5 out of 5 stars
The story Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee is a romantic suspense book. It is a story that once I started, I didn’t want to stop reading until the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Cutter and Valentina. Valentina is a strong, intelligent, and independent woman. She finds herself being saved by Cutter. He doesn’t hide his anger or suspicion of her. She is finding herself drawn to him. Cutter is a man that is deadly and dangerous. He is good at planning missions and carrying them out. What he doesn’t expect is how his plans and objectives are compromised by thoughts of her. What does the future hold for Valentina and Cutter? Read this book to find out. This story has moments of suspense that will have you wondering what is going to happen next. I enjoyed reading about the interactions between the other characters that are in the book. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you glued to the pages until the very end. I highly recommend reading it.
ROGUE WAVE is Book 2 in The Inland Sea Series! After reading SQUALL LINE, I could hardly wait to start Book 2: ROGUE WAVE. This is Cutter and Valentina’s story. Cutter was the most abrasive of the modern day pirate crew. He was scarred on the outside as well as on the inside. He finds a woman in Valentina that is a perfect match for him. She may be beautiful on the outside, but hides her broken heart and secrets on the inside.
Valentina Bianchi came from Italy to protect II Padrone. She had failed and now he was dead. Her new mission now is to make the man responsible for his death pay. Her one problem is to stay alive because she is a target, too! When her and Cutter cross paths trying to take out the intruder that has taken control of II Patrone’s business & fortunes. They partner up & Cutter actually saves her life, but almost looses his own life in the process. She returns the favor by donating her type O blood to save his.
Cutter Jackson is attracted to Valentina, but doesn’t really trust her. You know that saying, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” The war between Cutter and Valentina rage hard. Between love and hate. Anger and lust. Fear and desire. In the very end they will have to decide whether they are better together or apart. There are unforeseen twist and turns in this story. It has an end you won’t see coming.
I loved this book as well as the other one of your books thank you for letting me read you Gwyn
More excitement in this series with Valentina and Cutter. I didn’t think it would get better but it does; of course it does. The action, suspense, danger, and steam take you on a wild ride…or wave.
This is the 2nd book in this amazing series and is Cutter and Valentina’s story. Cutter is a cranky bear of a man, and Valentina is feisty, and they are the perfect dynamic match for each other with their no-holds-barred communication. Can these two complex characters move from enemies / lover’s even with the undeniable explosive chemistry between them? This is a well written story which is action packed, and with suspense, twists, and with a thrilling intricate and riveting plat. I was hooked throughout and cannot wait to read #3. I highly recommend this authors’ work for all.
This is the second book in the Inland Sea series. Cutter is a real jerk in the first book so I didn’t know if I would like him in this book. Well he’s still a jerk but we come to understand why.
Valentina is a bodyguard for the head of the Chicago Family. When everything explodes around then they become reluctant allies.
Lots of action,spicy sex and a shocking surprise at the end.
You definitely need to read these books in order.

Cutter is broken and I just wanted to love him harder. Valentina is a spitfire and I loved her personality. Together, they’re a force to be reckoned with.
This adventure was fast paced and kept my attention. The twists were only slightly predictable, but still great!
I’d definitely recommend this HEA and can’t wait to read more in this series.

Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee
Rogue Wave is the second book in The Inland Seas Series by Gwyn McNamee that is fast paced and filled with action. I found myself lost in the pages, on the edge of my seat and couldn’t stop reading till the end. I absolutely loved the characters Cutter and Valentina, they are definitely in the top as my favorites of this author. Cutter is a dangerous man, and is very good at planning and carrying out missions. Valentina is a independent yet strong woman who finds herself being saved by Cutter. He’s suspicious of her and doesn’t hide his anger yet she feels drawn to him. What does their future look like? Find out what happens next in this absolute must read. I highly recommend reading not just this book but the first Book in this series as well. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.
Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee is a five star novel. First off, Gwyn McNamee is one of my favorite authors. I have read many books by this author and have loved every single one. I was so excited to read this next series from her. As with most series, starting from the beginning gives you more background and another great story, so I recommend that. This novel is full of suspense as Cutter and Valentina have many fights and setbacks and don’t believe they are good for each other, but for some reason, they just can’t leave it well enough alone. As the story unfolds, we are able to find joy for them and hate as well. Perfectly written!
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?”
This is the story of all stories when it comes to who to trust! Cutter is a misunderstood madman. He’s a good guy but has to do some unsavory things to get by in life. War is not easy on anyone.
Valentina is the first female mob guardian. Apparently, she is bad to the bone. But where did she come from? Is she to be trusted? Whose side is she on?
This story, this series, this author, surprises me with her stories every time. Surprises me that she can keep me guessing. Surprises me with the excitement and wonder of a new story.
Definitely recommend McNamee for a good time!
Gwyn McNamee has done it again! She keeps proving to us how much of an incredibly versatile author she is!
After leaving us with that ending in Squall Line, I couldn’t wait to dive into this read, and boy am I glad I did! This book was even better than the first! I was totally captivated and entranced with this read. You are not short of epic twists and turns that have you on the edge of your seat. I absolutely love both of the main characters in this read the are opposites that definitely attract with their passion, chemistry and the back and forth they have they continue to make me want to find out more and follow their journey throughout.
I cant wait to see what else is brought to this series, this book is a must-read that you will not want to miss!
Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee is a great addition to this series. It is a fast paced and action packed tale that will have you restless on the edge of your seat. The characters are complicated and fierce but also have many many layers but once you peel them back you can see into their hearts. I enjoyed book one but this book had me feeling so much more for our two main characters and their stories. I am glad we got to peel back Cutters layers and that what we found was a man who has the same fears, self doubts and hurts and is afraid to go after what he thinks he could never have.
Valentina is not afraid to call you out and tell you how it is. What she does not like however, is to be disrespected and you can bet your bottom dollar the man who infuriates her is also the same man who sets her heart on fire.
Gwyn has written a story that is a great read and has a great plot which is complemented with the strong characters she has given us. I look forward to the next installment.

I didn’t know where this book was going to take me so I jumped feet first and held on for the ride. After the way the first book ended, I needed this book so badly. And after this book, I really need the next one! This is a one click author for me, i don’t care what she writes I’ll read it.
I don’t want to ruin anything that happens in this story, it’s a must read and i’m so happy we get to see into another of this bunch of guys heads.
This series just keeps getting better and better. I devoured this book and i was sucked into all of the awesomeness. There is twists and turns, I laughed and I cried throughout all of it…. i couldn’t put it down.
I was excited to get Cutter’s Story! He appeared in the first book and i knew i had to get my hands on his story and figure him out. He is such a great character and i was interested to see were his story would go. He meets Valentina and the chemistry between them is off the charts. They are each others equal but they have to find common ground and learn to get along or the chemistry between them will fizzle out and the love hate relationship they have will just turn into hatred.
This story is a must read and i would recommend it to a friend.
Rogue Wave by Gwyn McNamee a five-star read that will leave you out to sea. This is number two in the Inland Sea series and they just get better with each reading, this built on the characters and story, making it a stronger and more developed story. Cutter and Valentina are just so powerful together, they have such a great chemistry it sets the page aflame. But there is a slowness to the burn, its not a quick burn and out, it burns slow and strong just like the best fires. Gwyn McNamee always brings a good story, but this one brought the waves as well.
Rogue Wave (The Inland Seas Series Book 2) by Gwyn McNamee. This book was amazing and don’t start it thinking you will stop after a few chapters. It sucks you in and you are glued to the pages! This is the story of Cutter and Valentina also known as Kraken & Principessa. Cutter is a deadly and dangerous guy who does what he has to do and does it well. Valentina is strong, intelligent and independent so when Cutter saves her it throws her off completely. Cutter is supposed to be her enemy but there is so much chemistry between them. Cutter is even letting thoughts of her mess with his job and that’s never happened. Will Valentina let down her guard and let Cutter in? She doesn’t want a sweet, cookie cutter man she likes the raw, wild, gunfighter he is. This is not for the faint of heart. It will make your blood boil in more ways than one! Great read!
Rogue Wave is the second book in the Inland Seas Series by Gwyn McNamee. This is not my first book by this author and it will not be my last. One thing I have found with McNamee is that I do not start reading her book until I can have enough time to read the entire story. This story is captivating. This book has Cutter and Valentina story. Valentina is a highly intelligent woman. She was saved by Cutter. There is some tension between Valentina and Cutter. Their relationship can border on a love/hate relationship. This story took me on a roller coaster ride that kept me on the edge of my seat. There is some suspense within the story, so keep your eyes open and enjoy the ride with Valentina and Cutter.
Book 2 in “The Inland Sea Series”, ROGUE WAVE picks up where SQUALL LINE left off. As there is a continuing arc, I recommend reading this series in order.
“So I’m alive?”
“All your breathing and talking suggests that.”
“Am I gonna make it?”
“Not because of anything you did, but because of modern medicine and the strongest antibiotic…”
Cutter was a real @$$ and I didn’t care for him I the first book. He definitely redeems himself now. He can still be an @$$, but at least I understand why.
The book has a pace to it that moves so quickly at times I was afraid I wouldnt be able to keep up. The writing is so visual, it is like watching a movie and the dialogue is serious, witty, necessary, and reasonable. Throw in a bulldog named Milo and it is just a winning combination.
This is one of those series that I can’t wait for the next edition to be written. It is shaping up to be my favorite series.
I absolutely recommend this series.
Rogue Wave is the 2nd book in the Inland Seas series by Gwyn McNamee. It can be read as a standalone but I’d suggest you also read Squall Line before this book, purely as Squall Line is a fantastic book and will introduce you to Grace and Warwick who also play an important role in this book. I first became a fan of Gwyn McNamee by reading her fabulous Slip Series (highly recommended).
Although I’m a fan of this author I was very wary of reading this book as I really didn’t like the main character Cutter in the first book, so I was afraid that I wouldn’t connect with him in this book. He’s an angry, abrupt, arrogant man. For most of this book I still didn’t like him at all. This did not stop me from loving this book. Valentina is a total badass, feisty woman and gives back as good as she gets from Cutter. I loved the dynamic between them, how they both distrusted and disliked each other yet couldn’t help but be wildly attracted to each other.
I also found that I was totally gripped to the storyline from the very beginning and was kept gripped throughout. This book is filled with danger and suspense and you can’t put it down as you want to know what’s happening next.
I really hope that the author continues this series as I’d love to see more from the other guys in the group.
