Jonas Marshall is done storm-chasing, plagued with the memory of a terrible accident that paralyzed a fellow chaser, so the last thing he’s going to do is run into more danger. Now, he’s just a simple weatherman deploying dirigibles in an experiment to track weather patterns in Slovenia.

As far from danger as he can get.

But danger comes knocking in the form of hiker in need of rescue, and he can’t deny that her companion—beautiful Sibba Kovac—is a great distraction from the guilt that haunts him…until she paraglides right out of his life.

Probably for the best.

But danger still won’t leave him alone when a storm knocks his dirigibles out of the sky, and he happens upon one that looks tampered with…

It is. And worse, it’s carrying what could be radioactive waste. At least according to EOD expert Sibba…who finds herself face-to-face with the rescuer she can’t forget. But she’s not looking for him—her grandfather is missing, and she’ll stop at nothing to find him.

When her missing grandfather leads to the threat of a dirty bomb, she’s the only one who can stop it. And Jonas is the only man brave enough to run into danger with her. But she doesn’t have room in her heart to love him—not when she lives with death in her periphery. Can the right man, at the right time help her see beyond her fears to a future?

And if they have a chance to save the world, can Jonas let go of the woman he loves?

The thrilling second book in the epic romantic suspense of the Minnesota Marshalls

My Review:

I went in to Jonas with my normal expectations of a great story from Susan May Warren and I was not disappointed. In fact, Warren is surpassing my expectations when it comes to the action and slow burn romances. I found myself holding my breath on more than one occasion. 

Warren has this way of writing a wonderful series, that consists of novels that can completely standalone but tie in together in the most wonderful way. She writes characters that are real and relatable and this is no different in Jonas and The Minnesota Marshalls. I must say that having Jonas work with weather experiments really gave me Storm Chaser vibes and I was there totally there for it. I loved that this character has such a different field from what I've seen before.  

My only "not a real complaint" is the character's names. Jonas is an okay name, but when I hear myself say the name, I think of a child. Then Sibba, in my opinion is not a great name choice. Maybe I'm the only that gets caught up on character names, but I can't help it. Regardless, I don't let that quirk of mine deter me from a fantastic author like Susan May Warren, or from her excitingly adventurous and romantic books. 


I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
