My Thoughts on One Last Stand by Susan May Warren

 

About:

As a member of the Air One Rescue team, pilot London Brooks has built a new life--one far away from her clandestine past as an operative tasked to take down a branch of Russian terrorists. She has no desire to reenter that world or endure the grief of losing everyone she loved, including her fiancé. But the past won't stay past. When she finds herself falsely accused, her reputation tarnished, and her life in danger, she has no choice but to plunge back into the treacherous world she left behind. Even if she must surrender everything--and everyone--she loves in her new life.

Shep Watson will never forget the day he saved London Brooks from the avalanche that nearly killed her. He knows there is more to her story, but he's intent on keeping her secrets. Just when it seems she's finally ready to let him into her heart, her past comes knocking. But he can't bear to lose her again, which means, somehow, he'll have to enter her world, keep up with her, and figure out a way to bring her home. But when the danger comes home to Alaska, what will it cost the Air One Rescue team?

My Thoughts:

If you are looking for high intensity suspense and action, a swoony love story, and a team that acts more like a family that has your back no matter what, then this is a read for you. In fact, pick up this whole series.

I hate to even admit this, but I only read the first book in this series. It was good too, but I need to read the other two as well. This story is fine as a standalone, I was filled in on a lot of what took place. However, just for the whole picture and experience, I need to go back. What I liked about this series is that it did touch on other characters I have met through author Warren's other works. Just a name drop here and there, like saying hi to old friends.

Entering this book, I knew that Shep Watson was in a low place. His love, London Brooks is supposedly dead. He was the one who pulled her out of the submerged car. He has his doubts though, especially since he knows her background. But he can't just make her appear. 

Well, we get more of London/Laney's background story in this read, as everything she loves and lives for is on the line. Her life is complicated. Her relationship with Shep is complicated. And their past, well new details emerge about that. Will it affect their future if they survive? Well, that is the question.

I enjoyed the camaraderie of the team and how they cared and loved one another like family. They were not new to danger so helping London and Shep was a no brainer. There were a few other side stories that also got tied up as well. This was a fun read that kept me up way too late.
