Highly Anticipated Read
I told myself I was going to enjoy this first book in what has become my most anticipated series of 2023, nice and slow. You know, savor it like the mature, disciplined woman I am. As you can imagine that did not happen. I inhaled this book and loved every minute of the journey. It was everything I love about Susan May Warren’s romantic suspense.
Oh, and the journey Susan takes her readers on with this one! I turned pages well into the night. Fraser is such an excellent character—a leader, a man who lives on principle, always putting himself in harm’s way for the people he loves. I’m always going to love a protective hero. His inner struggle, and the truth Susan wove through his story was profound. Many highlights saved in my Kindle on this one. Bold, biblical truth that was refreshing to see.
Pippa had such depth and was a joy to get to know. Much like Fraser, she was principled, loyal and courageous. I love, LOVE the tie in with her origin (no spoilers here).
Fraser and Pippa’s banter was something to behold. There’s even a meet-cute…okay maybe not cute, per say, but it’s, ahem, electric IYKYK. I love the way they worked together, trusted one another.
I loved the other two POV’s told in this story, which is difficult to discuss without spoilers, but getting a little look into those two lives and brains makes me all the more excited for the continuation of this series. I can only imagine (and have haha) where we will go next in book two with Jonas.
Readers can expect heart-pounding action, suspense, twists and turns, the perfect romance, biblical truth, characters you will love and root for until the last page and appearances from many past characters. Fraser was an explosive beginning to the Minnesota Marshalls and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
