After four years of training to become a Navy SEAL, Ned Marshall is finally ready to marry the woman of his dreams, Shae Johnson . And Shae’s been uber patient, waiting, building a life as a free-lance graphic artist, moving around the globe to be with him. So, when she said yes to his proposal in Geneva, he fully expected to live happily-ever-after.
At the very least, he expected her to be waiting at the hotel for him three days after an emergency call-out. And maybe it was unreasonable to expect her to be sitting in the hotel, working on her watercolors—Shae, after all grew up in Montana, and she has adventure in her blood. So of course she’s going to go climb the beautiful Swiss mountains. Even make a friend.
But Ned isn’t thrilled with her new friend, and something about him doesn’t feel safe…
So she’s made some friends while waiting for Ned to return? Shae can’t believe that after years of sacrifice, Ned is actually angry at her—what did he expect, that she’d sit by the window? Dana and his friends are harmless, right?
Not so much. Because when Shae finds herself kidnapped, and brought to Russia, she fears the worst—she’s been swept up in a human trafficking ring. And when she’s sent to, of all places, Siberia how will Ned ever find her?
But Ned isn’t going to lose her—not after everything they’ve been through, and he’ll stop at nothing to rescue her. But when he discovers the real reason she’s been taken, he will have to become a traitor to his country if he wants her back.
Join the epic race to rescue Shae in the high-adrenaline book three in the Minnesota Marshalls series.

MY THOUGHTS
Susan May Warren's books never fail to get my heart pounding and adrenaline pumping. This book was nearly nonstop action and a race against time from the first page to the last. (And, really, it didn't even stop there. Things just ramped up for the next book.)
I will say that this wasn't one of my favorite Susan May Warren books. There was some suspension of belief needed. And, I don't usually have this problem, but I found myself lost a few times. There was so much going on and so much going wrong for the characters that I had a hard time connecting with some of them.
I did admire Shae's resiliency and tenacity, though. She'd been through a lot in her life, but despite finding herself in another horrible situation, she was so brave. She didn't give up, and I loved her fighting spirit.
I really enjoyed Iris and Hudson's part of the story. I became very invested in them, so I am looking forward to the next book.
3.5 STARS
That's too bad this one wasn't as good as the other ones in this series. But at least there were still things to like about it.
ReplyDeleteI was a little disappointed that I didn't love this one as much as I expected, but the next one sounds promising, so I'm excited to check it out. :)
DeleteAh, hopefully you find Iris better.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarita! I'm sure I will. :)
