Review: Tate (The Montana Marshalls #2) by Susan May Warren

About the Book
What will it cost this bodyguard to save the woman he loves?

*Susie writes a delightful story! - NYT bestselling author Dee Henderson.*

Susan May Warren is the USA Today best-selling, Christy and RITA award-winning novelist of over 65 novels, including the best-selling Montana Rescue and Montana Fire series.

Bodyguard Tate Marshall, has always been the family troublemaker

Maybe it’s his propensity to get entangled in other people’s problems. Now, he’s in over his head because he’s desperately in love with the woman he’s tasked to protect, the beautiful Gloria, “Glo” Jackson, daughter of US Senator and presidential hopeful Reba Jackson. A member of the country band, the Yankee Belles, Glo was targeted in a recent terrorist attack designed to deter her mother from running, and Tate will do anything to keep her safe. Even if it means letting her go.

Country music artist Glo Jackson isn’t afraid of trouble…

Stubborn and brave, Glo isn’t about to hide from threats, at least the kind that won’t cost her heart. She’s already paid a terrible price for the war on terror, and she refuses to fall for a man who might die, especially because of her. Better to keep him away, even if it means sacrificing her heart.

But when danger threatens them both, what will they sacrifice to keep each other safe?

As the presidential campaign heats up and the threats deepen, so does the attraction between Tate and Glo. But what will it cost Tate to keep her alive? And what will Glo do to keep from losing another man she loves?

The gripping second installment of the Montana Marshalls series.


My Thoughts

Tate is book two in the Montana Marshalls series and picks up right where Knox left off. I'd definitely recommend starting with book one. They're both so interconnected, I wouldn't want you to be lost if you start here.

This story focuses on Tate, the troublemaking brother in the family, and Glo, a member of the country band the Yankee Belles. I'll go ahead and admit it. Glo wasn't my favorite person. I thought maybe, eventually, she'd grow on me, but that just wasn't the case. She was so flighty and flip-floppy with Tate. She had her reasons, but that shouldn't excuse her behavior, the way she was almost toying with him. It made for a frustrating read, at times. And, I feel bad for saying this, but in the end, I wasn't completely convinced that they were right for each other.

While this wasn't my favorite Susan May Warren book, it was still enjoyable. There was lots of suspense and a great spiritual message. Plus, I really enjoyed the secondary story featuring Ford (Tate's Navy Seal brother) and his love interest Scarlett. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book for more of them! And to discover more about the situation with Ford's twin sister, Ruby Jane.

Favorite Quote:
"When you show up with nothing and discover that you’re loved because of who you are—that’s when you realize what it means to be a son of God. That’s when you discover that you’ve inherited more than you could possibly imagine. It’s pretty breathtaking.” He grinned. “Sort of like free-falling, knowing that your chute is going to catch you.”
