One Last Stand is book 4 in Alaska Air One Rescue and it is action packed from the beginning to the end! Susan May Warren's book are always full of faith and sweet romance. This is a great series and it was so fun seeing many characters from previous books/series. I loved watching Shep and London work together in this suspenseful, on the edge of your seat story! When I see Susan's name on a new book I always come back for more!

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review. All opinions are my own.

This book archived before I could download so I found the kindle version on Amazon instead (lucky for me, it was free that day!).

I have to say, of the entire series I've read so far, I enjoyed this one the least. I think it was due to the Hallmark royal romance feel it had. That, and the fact that it has many of my least favourite tropes in it: a prince in a small European country, a love triangle, a rushed and mildly unfinished ending, an independent woman who keeps taking off and leaving the male lead to follow her to the ends of the earth without consideration for him... you probably get the picture lol.

However, even with all the odds stacked against it, I still thoroughly enjoyed it and read it in one sitting (just like the rest of the series). The faith thread was strong and well integrated with the plot. I only wish the ending hadn't been so rushed, because I like having some time to decompress with the characters and enjoy the calm at the end ;)

“God sometimes gives the hardest tasks to the ones he can count on the most. And if it was easy and didn’t require all of us, then we wouldn’t need God to complete it.”

Ah, the long-awaited and highly anticipated story of London and Shep. The wait was worth it and the story did not disappoint. London’s mysterious past was fascinating to learn about and the depth of international intrigue surrounding her family was unexpected. I had sort of forgotten Shep’s familial ties to Gage Watson from Montana Rescue series so that was a fun nugget to behold. Their European journey brimmed with action and plenty of twists and turns in their quest to save the world from Russian mob and rogue ex-CIA. I absolutely loved the cameo appearances of the Montana and Minnesota Marshalls, along with their affiliates and colleagues. Their romance was a wonderful adventure and their faith journey an even bigger one. Moose and Tillie also had a crazy adventure in this book that had me on the edge of my seat.

I can’t believe the series is over already! But I do believe there is more coming our way with Minnesota Kingstons. Can’t wait to dig into the new series!

"Wow, she was tired of dying, resurrecting as a new version of herself" (location 392). London is a fascinating woman. She longs to be useful and to fight injustice but her heart is torn as she longs for Shep. Yet her very life puts him in danger.

I love Warren's books. One of my favorite things is how interconnected all of her stories are. I love that prior characters play a big part in this book. I enjoyed the focus on Moose and Tillie, Boo and Oaken, even Frasier and Pippa.

There's great suspense with lots of action and danger....a little Mission Impossible vibe. It would make a great movie. I'd highly recommend this book and this series.

Thank you to Revell for providing me with a free e-copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

One Last Stand is the final offering in an epic series and didn’t disappoint. I read the first in the series and fell behind so can say, hand on heart – this story also works as a standalone!

Shep hasn’t been even close to himself since London died. Imagine his shock when he’s kidnapped and discovers she’s not quite as dead as he believed? Or that she’s more than capable of rescuing him.

From here (and this is in NO WAY a spoiler) things turn even crazier as Shep and London, with the Air One Team, race across Europe to try and stop an international terrorist network. Interestingly though, their personal differences seem much harder to overcome than the Russian mob.

Shep sees his purpose to rescue people and keep London alive, but London isn’t sure she can hang up her spy persona and settle down. And of course, there’s no sensible, quiet time to sit and have a grown up discussion about this. Nope. They have to figure it out through introspection, brief talks with friends and snatched moments when either or both aren’t in someone’s crosshairs.

While the action is fantastic and the characters larger than life, as ever with a Susan May Warren book, the best part is the spiritual aspect. I love the way truth is shared and lives changed. Just brilliant.

I received a copy of One Last Stand from the publisher via NetGalley, the opinions are all my own.

I feel like I’ve waited forever for this book! It was worth it. I didn’t want to put it down. It took us on a wild ride from Alaska to across the ocean. Bad guys, pasts haunting, tangled webs, and more. This Christian romantic suspense was an excellent end to this 4 book series (though I hear more will be added in 2026). Faith, family, and friends play so much of a role. It was a wonderful read and I can’t wait for more.

A complex and skillful plot with unexpected turns and twists. I love the banter back and for banter between the many characters. Susan May Warren has mastered the use of the male voice and made it real. I think this should be a movie.

Oh my gosh! This book was great and part of the reason for this is that it tied several previous series together and yet, signalled more to come. Apart from various characters from previous series, the continuing story of the main mystery behind several of the series are continued. Alone they were satisfying but together with this one - awesome!

I liked the characters 'real' reactions to things. They were well written and interesting. I liked the twists and turns of the book and I couldn't put it down. I loved the backstories of the characters. The side characters had roles in this book which was also worth the read.

I receive complimentary books for various sources including, Netgalley, Authors, and other such sources. I am not required to write a positive review and have not received compensation.

This is the fourth book in the series. It would be helpful to read the first three books in the series to fully grasp what is going on in this book. There's lots of people that pop up in the book from other books as well. This is London and Sheps journey to finding happiness. When the book starts Shep thinks London is dead. The story kicks up from there. There's all kinds of intrigue throughout the book. I highly recommend reading this book.

I was given this book Revell Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.

This is one of my absolute favorite series from this author! I was anxiously anticipating London’s story! Throughout this series the mysterious hints to London’s past kept me invested and wanting to know more of her story. I’m a big fan of Friends to more tropes and I really loved Shep for London in the previous books! I cannot believe this is the last book in this series, but it definitely delivered in action and intense danger for these characters! I won’t give spoilers, but this one kept me invested until the final pages with plenty of nail biting moments and a romance I was rooting for!

Oh My! Susan May Warren can write suspense like no other!
At first, London is dead and Shep is in depression. But then, no! London is alive and she is not London. But she IS London and has other identities too.
These Alaska Air One rescue stories are the bomb (literally).
Alaska is a great setting but so is a castle in Lauchtenland. This group really gets around.
You add in the team members. Moose, Tilly, Oaken and Boo and then add even York and Fraser and things get real.
Great series! Highly recommend!
Now I am hoping for a continuation story for Ziggy.
Thank you to Net Galley for allowing me to read this book. The opinions are entirely my own.

"One Last Stand" is a Christian romantic suspense. It's the 4th in the series. It does help to have read at least some of the previous books as some of the London/Shep action has occurred already and the characters from the previous books are highly involved in this story. However, the author provided enough background that you can understand what's going on without reading the previous books.

The main characters were engaging and came across as real people. I cared about what happened to them. Shep and London realized that they only had a superficial knowledge about each other and got to know each other better as they worked together. They had to decide what they really wanted out of life while they tried to free London from the dangers brought on by her past. There was plenty of suspense from the physical dangers of doing spy stuff as well as the search and rescue. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable suspense.

“So whether you like it or not, I’m your shadow, or your watchdog, or your partner—whatever. I may not be some James Bond, but just try to shake me.”

I loved that line, and truly Shep was not a James Bond character. Super refreshing since London rescued him multiple times in One Last Stand. The gender reversals made me smile and appreciate such a strong heroine. But still, Shep wasn’t someone people could walk over with his amazing outdoorsman skills.

Such vivid snow skiing scenes and with what happened to Jacey, I don’t think I could ever get on a pair of skis but enjoyed learning about the life.

Oh!!! I usually start with a quote in my reviews, which I did. But good Lord, I had to add this beautiful a line… He was the mountain, pulling her into his protection as he put his arms around her.

Very exciting read. I sucked in air when the man punched Caspian. Who punches a dog? I really enjoyed the adventure the author took me on in this story and can’t wait for the next in the series. There has to be another because Tillie deserves a much better engagement party lol. Alright I feel like this review came out like I’m rambling, but there were so many great parts and no spoilers here. This is a must read for lovers of action, suspense and inspirational romance.

One Last Stand is the fourth book in the Alaska Air One Rescue series. This is definitely a series that is best read in order from the beginning as Susan May Warren has a knack for creating intricate stories with a large cast of characters that you'll want to get to know better as the series progresses to get the most out of the story. That said, I had not realized I'd not yet caught up on this one yet myself, and while there were definitely moments where I felt I was missing something, I was still able to enjoy this one anyway!

Another thing that Susan May Warren has a knack for? Creating high paced stories that will absolutely keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next! This was certainly no exception! It kept me captivated from the first page to the last... with so much action and adventure that I couldn't get enough of. I loved the romance, yes, but I also love all the strong relationships in the book as well... and of course, as a fan of the author, seeing more familiar characters make appearances too. If you're looking for a wonderful Christian romantic suspense read, this is one you'll definitely want to experience for yourself.

This is one of the best romantic suspense books I’ve read this year. There’s more than enough action for every adrenaline junkie out there with some heartfelt romance added in to round out the story.

Not only do I get to see Shep and London navigate her supposed death and return, as well as learn her unique background, I also get to see more of Moose and Tillie’s story.

Shep is a rescuer at heart and when London travels to a small European country, he follows right into the midst of danger and intrigue. Nothing and no one is quite what it seems and when London is kidnapped he’s all in.

Each of them must find their place of trust and reliance on God in the face of pain and doubts about themselves. There’s plenty of personal conflict and tension to roil the emotions and kept me reading long into the night.

This is a wonderful book.

I was given a copy courtesy of Revell through NetGalley and Interviews and Reviews. This is my honest opinion of the book.
