FORD
Family...country...or the woman he loves...
Navy Seal Ford Marshall isn't the kind to stand by and let a woman get hurt -- especially when it involves his twin sister, RJ. So, when she makes the news, accused of sparking an international incident, he doesn't care what it takes -- he's going to find her and bring her home.
But he might need a little help, so he calls on the woman who has had his back during the last three years -- Petty Officer Scarlett Hathaway, former communications expert-turned Rescue Swimmer candidate. She'll help him get into the country, watch his back, and...well, they might be able to have one last mission together before she leaves for a new life, a life he very much wants to be a part of now that she is off his team. Maybe he can convince her to give them a chance to kindle the spark that's simmered between them for years.
Scarlett Hathaway isn't sure what future she wants -- not when she suddenly has to care for her little brother. Maybe she should quit the Navy and start life with the man she can't help Ford find his sister. And maybe, along the way, figure out if they have a future.
But finding RJ somewhere in the vastness of Russia with the FSB chasing them will push Scarlett beyond even her courage and make her question everything she thought she wanted...including Ford. What will it cost her to love a man who saves the world?
And when Ford is asked to choose between saving his sister, saving the world from a war, and rescuing the woman he loves...can he live with his decision?
My Review:
Forget my usual edge-of-your seat descriptors 'cause you won't be sitting down for this action-packed, swoon-a-licious read. If you're like me, you'll be collapsed on your fainting couch or breathing into a paper bag...or both at the same time!
Once again Susan May Warren has bound me up in her story telling spell and I'm not quite ready to shake my way free from the delicious bibliophile afterglow. And, hooray me, I still have two Marshall novels to read so I don't have to say goodbye to this wild and crazy clan just yet.
I love the way the author gives some quality page time to RJ and York, setting the stage for the next book...well the book after the next book because Warren likes to make her readers suffer through agonies of anticipation. In fact, she likes to make her characters suffer just as much, and, mercy but Ford and Scarlett have to work through a lot before they can look forward to a happily ever after!
High stakes espionage. Complicated layers of deceit to work through. Intense danger at every turn. It's the kind of plot stuff that keeps a reader glued to the page. Especially when it's broken up by intensely sweet moments of toe-curling romance. Happy sigh.
And God bless Susan May Warren for her audacious penchant for weaving a strong faith thread into every story. In Ford, Scarlett struggles with finding God in all the hard places. In fact, she's been waiting for Him to show up her whole life without realizing He has been leading the way all along. Moving and inspiring -- just the kind of message I need to remember as I stumble on the rocky path of my own faith walk.
Another Epic Warren Read!

DeleteSusan May Warren has a way of making you feel apart of the family she is writing about. I just finished reading The Global Search and Rescue series. I'm blown away by the action, adventure and heart-felt situations. I'd love a chance to read a book in this series.
ReplyDeleteExactly! A reader gets so attached to these characters it's hard to let them go. I haven't started teh Global Search and Rescue series yet...and I think it's over already. Ack! Good luck, Nora!
