Review: Jonas (The Minnesota Marshalls #2) by Susan May Warren

About the Book
Jonas Marshall is done storm-chasing, plagued with the memory of a terrible accident that paralyzed a fellow chaser, so the last thing he’s going to do is run into more danger. Now, he’s just a simple weatherman deploying dirigibles in an experiment to track weather patterns in Slovenia.

As far from danger as he can get.

But danger comes knocking in the form of hiker in need of rescue, and he can’t deny that her companion—beautiful Sibba Kovac—is a great distraction from the guilt that haunts him…until she paraglides right out of his life.

Probably for the best.

But danger still won’t leave him alone when a storm knocks his dirigibles out of the sky, and he happens upon one that looks tampered with…

It is. And worse, it’s carrying what could be radioactive waste. At least according to EOD expert Sibba…who finds herself face-to-face with the rescuer she can’t forget. But she’s not looking for him—her grandfather is missing, and she’ll stop at nothing to find him.

When her missing grandfather leads to the threat of a dirty bomb, she’s the only one who can stop it. And Jonas is the only man brave enough to run into danger with her. But she doesn’t have room in her heart to love him—not when she lives with death in her periphery. Can the right man, at the right time help her see beyond her fears to a future?

And if they have a chance to save the world, can Jonas let go of the woman he loves?


MY THOUGHTS
God is in the storm. Though the winds blow, and my life feels torn apart, if I can just trust Him, I’ll discover Him at the center.
What an action-packed adventure! The stakes were high and the suspense just kept building. There was hardly a dull moment. I appreciated the fact that despite all the nonstop action, there was a lot of humor and a great message of faith, too. A message that really resonated with me. There were so many passages that I highlighted.

Susan May Warren has the special gift of being able to transport me right into the settings of her books. It's like I'm actually there. I love being able to "visit" places I'll probably never see in real life. So I loved "visiting" Slovenia here.

I really liked Jonas, but it took a while to warm up to Sibba. Though, once I learned more about her and began to understand her better, I ended up liking her a lot. 

This was another great one from Warren. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys inspirational romantic suspense.
