My Thoughts on One Last Shot by Susan May Warren

 

About:

When country music star Oaken Fox joins survivalist Mike Grizz's new adventure show in the Alaskan wilderness, he just wants to boost his fan base. But when tragedy strikes and Air One Rescue must save them, Oaken wants to quit. Too bad his producer has other plans--signing him on with Air One Rescue as a recruit and making a reality show.

EMT Boo Kingston did not join Air One Rescue to train a celebrity. But she's a rookie to the team, so yes, she'll train Oaken and keep him alive and not for a minute pay attention to his charm.

And then five women go missing from a resort during a bachelorette weekend gone wrong. Now, Air One and the rescue team will have to use all their skills and manpower--including Oaken--to find them before a blizzard settles in. But can they work together before tragedy strikes?

My Thoughts:

Alaska is a place where one may go to hide from the world. Or try to redeem a reputation. In this new series by author Warren, her two characters, Boo Kingston and Oaken Fox attempt to do those two things.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure how this story was going to go when Oaken, a country music star, needs to sign up for a survivalist adventure to repair his reputation after a fight that goes viral. Things certainly don’t go as planned when his guide is unable to guide. And trying to survive the Alaskan wilderness is no joke.

Boo Kingston, (we do find out her real name later), has left her home and family to join up with her cousins in Alaska as an EMT on the Air One Rescue team. Boo is the one hiding after she starred on a reality show that put her in such a humiliating light and took many situations out of context. She just wants to begin anew and be by herself as much as possible. Then she meets and rescues Oaken. Keeping to herself is no longer an option when businesses are on the line now. As well as her heart.

This was a great kickoff to more adventures with author Warren and her world of characters. It also really showed the powerful hold that social media and entertainment today can have on a person as Oaken and Boo were both going through similar circumstances. Add in a mystery thread of danger and you have quite an adventure. Not to mention we get to know the rest of the team as well.
