Ned by Susan May Warren

Ned (The Minnesota Marshalls #3)

Ned is the third book in the Minnesota Marshalls series by Susan May Warren. Let me tell you, with her many years of writing experience, this author knows how to write books that keep your heart pounding and your fingers turning pages quickly.

Ned has been through four years of training to be a Navy SEAL. He has the woman of his dreams, Shae Johnson is waiting for him in Switzerland. Unfortunately, when he finally gets to see her after being on a mission, the two have a disagreement. That is bad enough, as both Shae and Ned almost instantly regret their words, but right afterwords Shae goes missing. Shae has been kidnapped by Russian thugs and is in Siberia. What will it take to get her back?

Ned has some hoops to go through to get to Shae. I love all the action in this book. I like the close-knit Marshall family and how they all work to help each other out in difficult times. I also like Shae and my reader heart goes out to her in her difficult predicament that I can not imagine in our modern world today because it would be very hard. Yet God is working in both of their lives. I like the spiritual element in this book. I like the romance. I also like how the next book in the series is building about Iris. Warren already starts weaving her story in between Ned and Shae's story. Readers learn about Iris and her football player friend who is helping her as they run from the bad guys. There is some great scenes with them that add a humor element to the book. Of course, we are left with an Iris cliff hanger so we can't wait for the next book to come out. There is a first chapter reader preview of Iris at the back of Ned and, believe me, I am ready for Iris now!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through JustRead Tours. All opinions within this review are my own.

The pictures look soft and warm and yet are vibrant in color. I think they are just gorgeous and well liked by children.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly ap
