This book absolutely delivers! I loved this action packed romantic adventure from Susan May Warren. Alaska has long been a favorite setting of mine for suspense stories and I was so excited that this book would be taking place in its wild and unpredictable landscape! The characters in this book were great and I genuinely liked them all! The team dynamics worked so well and there were plenty of naturally occurring dangerous moments due to the nature of their jobs to bring excitement to the pages. The romance between Boo and Oaken was slow building in the best way! I was rooting for this couple! I would absolutely recommend this one to suspense or romance readers! It was enjoyable and entertaining and a great read!
"There's the story we create and the story we're created for. Maybe that's what this adventure is all about."
I've read quite a few of Susan May Warren's books and every new release is like a breath of fresh air, filled with fast-action adrenaline, heart-stopping romance, and soul-edifying spiritual truths. And I do so love how her characters from previous series overlap and weave themselves into new plots, triggering nostalgia while diving headfirst into a new and exciting adventure.
We're back in Alaska for this series and it was fun to hang out with the Kingstons while getting to know their cousin Boo from Minnesota. Boo, with her mad survival skills and EMT instincts, is hiding from social media and the fiasco that upended her life while rescuing people with the newly formed Alaska Air One Rescue team. Oaken is a charming country music star needing some reality TV show time to boost his image on social media. Of course, accidents, unpredictable Alaskan weather, and meddling friends and co-workers turn both of their lives upside down and it's truly a rollercoaster ride physically and emotionally from the beginning to the end for Boo and Oaken.
It was also fantastic getting to know Moose, the head of the rescue team, in this book. Though the next book sounds like it will be about his brother Axel, Moose had some great spiritual advice for Oaken throughout the book. I can't wait for his story!
If you enjoy romantic suspense with great faith thread, this book is a must-read. I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Revell via Interviews & Reviews and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
Readers who like action packed stories will enjoy this first book in the new Alaska Air One Rescue series. The dramatic rescues in icy blizzards are mind boggling. The back stories of Boo and Oaken will pull at reader's heartstrings. Faith and forgiveness in a running theme throughout. Looking forward to the next in the series.
One Last Shot is the first book in a new series by Susan May Warren, Alaska Air One Rescue. Boo Kingston is a new member of the team, an EMT proving her expertise is worthy to be in Alaska on the Search and Rescue team. She loves her new job but is also trying to forget her past from a reality survival show. Oaken Fox is a country music star trying to live down a bad mistake from his past. Circumstances throw them together as Oaken becomes a reluctant member of the air rescue team. There is a lot of intense action as they are called out to rescue people in precarious situations. In the process, they learn the value of trust, second chances, and faith. I am delighted to start this new series and cannot wait for the next book! There is also a crossover with a couple others of her series, which is always fun!
One Last Shot is an intense, action-packed, and emotional story of Boo and Oaken, and the Air One Rescue team. Between various rescue missions and dealing with fall-out of previous poor decisions/impulsive acts, Oaken learns to be part of the rescue team, and Boo and Oaken learn to trust and move past their mistakes. They also learn that faith will help them in that journey. The story is complex and gripping, and details of the various rescues was fascinating. I’m excited for the next book in this series! (And if you’ve read the Sky King Ranch series, there’s a fun connection to this series).
