There's Trouble in the North...
Meet Jack, a tracker with a past he’s trying to escape the first epic book of the Minnesota Kingston series by USA Today bestselling author Susan May Warren.
Her secret blew apart his life—and now she needs his help? If only he could say no…
Ten years should be long enough for Jack to forget the girl-next-door, his kid sister’s bestie and the woman—no, girl—who derailed his life. Now, he sort of likes his loner world as a missing person’s tracker. Well, mostly. But of course, when he returns home for his sister’s wedding, there she is…
Nope, not forgotten at all.
Of course Jack the Grump has shown up for his sister’s wedding, and by the way he looks at Harper, um, clearly her sins aren’t forgiven. So what—she’s sooo over her best-friend’s brooding, dark oldest brother. Really.
Then a bridesmaid goes missing.
And sure, Harper is a journalist who knows how to sniff out truth, but the clock is ticking and there’s only one person who can help…Perfect. No problem. She’s not going to fall for her childhood crush again. Promise.
Yes, Jack can admit that Harper’s not the girl he used to call Pigtails anymore. She’s all grown up…but he’s not going to get burned again. Still, what’s a guy going to do?
So, find her missing friend, get the bride down the aisle and ditch town before they find themselves in over their heads…or worse.
Dead.
Jack is a best friend’s brother, childhood crush, grumpy-to sunshine, sweet but sizzly romantic suspense about second chances and finding the family you always wanted…
Tropes:

MY THOUGHTS
This was such a great second chance romance! Jack and Harper have history. Something that happened ten years ago derailed a potential romance between the two. They’re thrown back together at his sister Boo’s wedding, who is also her best friend. They end up teaming up to find a member of the wedding party who has disappeared. They had amazing chemistry, and I was rooting so hard for them to be able to work past their issues. They were so good together!
There was a lot of suspense and rising tension. There were several times when I wondered how they would get out of a dangerous situation.
Nobody does epic family stories like Susan May Warren! I love the big family dynamic of the Kingstons. I loved how they were there for one another, no matter what.
I loved seeing some familiar faces from some of Warren’s previous books! It was great catching up with them.
If you’re looking for an inspirational romance full of suspense and intrigue, grab a copy of this book. I highly recommend it and can’t wait for the next one!
I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
