Susan May Warren

I received an ARC of the book in return for a review.

Emily is a hot shot firefighter in Montana who is working her way through her probationary year with the Jude County fire team. She is assigned to work on the set of a move that is filming in the area and using fire as part of the dramatic sets. One of the stars of the movie is her favorite actor from her favorite TV series from her childhood. Spenser is the actor who has had trouble in the past with a stalker, and that trouble seems to be following him to the set of this movie.

I really enjoyed the pace of this story. There was plenty of action and also excellent character building. I liked the tie in of the location and a couple character mentions from other books in some of Susan May Warren’s other books. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of this series.… (mehr)

Where have I been? This is my first book by Susan May Warren and I can’t wait to read more! I devoured One Last Shot in a day. It’s that good! Full of suspense, romance, forgiveness, and second chances, this book kept me quickly swiping my Kindle until the end. And the Alaskan setting made it even more exciting.

Oaken Fox is a handsome Country Music star carrying a lot of baggage. After a fight with a fan, he heads to Alaska to participate in a survivalist adventure show hoping to rehabilitate his image, but when his guide is injured, the show’s producers convince him to stay on and train with Air One Rescue as part of a reality show.

EMT Boo Kingston’s a rookie with Air One Rescue tasked with training Oaken. She’s definitely not interested in another handsome hotshot who’ll break her heart like her ex from the reality tv show she was on. But, the more she’s around Oaken, the harder it is to resist him. When several young women go missing in a snow storm and with a potential murderer on the loose, it’ll take all their ingenuity and strength just to stay alive.

I loved the slow burn romance between Oaken & Boo. They’re both running away from past mistakes and things they need to confront in order to move on. Both let guilt consume them & insist on carrying their burdens alone. I loved how they learned to work together, trust each other, and find forgiveness. And those kisses!

The Air One Rescue team grabbed my heart. I enjoyed how they all supported each other and welcomed Oaken into their group. Their intense, daring rescues kept me on the edge of my seat. They were so realistically portrayed and described that I felt like I was there right along side them.

I also loved the way faith and forgiveness were woven throughout the story. Several members of the Air One team including Moose & London offer sage advice I found myself underlining. I also loved the humor. Ketchup wars anyone?

Highly recommend this intense, swoon worthy, romantic suspense! Now I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I received an advanced complimentary copy from the author. All opinions are my own and voluntarily provided.… (mehr)
