About the Book

Title: One Last Chance
Series: Alaska Air One Rescue #2
Author: Susan May Warren
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
Publisher: SDG Publishing
Release Date: June 4, 2024

Axel Mulligan was built to be a Coast Guard rescue swimmer. He swam fast and endured long, a miracle for those in peril–until a tragedy sent him home to Alaska. Now, three years later, he’s not going to let the past repeat itself. As an Air One rescue swimmer, he’ll do anything to save lives—including sacrifice his own.

He expects to do just that while trying to rescue a group of tourists from the icy waters of the Gulf of Alaska. But if not for the voice on the other end of the ham radio, he might have given up and let hypothermia win. That voice awakened something in his heart, and he sets out to find the woman it belongs to.

Flynn Turnquist is not who Axel thinks she is. A national wildlife researcher, she’s deep in the bush, tracking wolf pack patterns. Or is she? In fact, she’s a former cop, tracking down a serial killer. She nearly had him—until he escaped into the wilds of the Alaska bush.

When Axel finds Flynn and discovers what she’s really up to, it stirs up a terrible nightmare he’s been dodging for years—the kidnapping and death of his own cousin. Worse, he’s led the killer right to her doorstep. Now, it’s a race through Alaska to stay alive. And when tragedy strikes again, he must choose between rescue or redemption.

My Review

One Last Chance
by Susan May Warren
Book 2 in the Alaska Air One Rescue series
Rating: 4.5/5

Wow! SMW does it again! I literally lost sleep reading this fast-paced story that kept me guessing. The story hooks you from the start and I was quite distracted from work while reading. I have read the first book in this series and it was also so good. I don’t know how the author keeps coming up with such thrilling, adventurous, believable stories that not only have clean romance and chemistry but also weaves her faith throughout in a non-preachy way. I also loved the callbacks to previous characters from the Rembrandt Stone series and the Sky King Ranch series which I also really enjoyed. As you can tell, I am a huge fan and I cannot wait to read more.

Highly recommend if you enjoy clean, faith-filled, romantic suspense that will take you on an adventurous ride through stunning Alaska wilderness!

My Review

Cold Hearted
by Leia Stone, Julie Hall
Book 1 in the Cursed Face series
Rating: 4/5

I sure read that quickly! I was excited to read something new from one of my favorite authors, Julie Hall! I already read the previous series where she joined with Leia Stone and it was awesome! I am such a sucker for a good enemies-to-lovers (without explicit scenes – fade to black). I will say that I sort of guessed the twist but not everything so the story was still very enjoyable. The banter between the two leads was so good and I loved every second of it. Going into the series I was told it would be more like a standalone story that focused on different couples per book which I have mixed feelings about because as much as I enjoyed their story arc, it did feel a little rushed near the end compared to the author’s other series where the story spanned 3-4 books. But even with that, the story was a fun read that made me laugh and smile and I will definitely be reading more. 

Highly recommend if you enjoy fade-to-black fantasy that is humorous, adventurous and will keep you reading till the end!

PG-13 for language and fade-to-black romance.
