Reseñas de la Crítica

"Enjoyable with likable characters and enough intrigue." ( Library Journal)

Nice series

I liked this series. Good story. Plenty of suspense. Glad for the endings. I appreciated the faith based references and the "clean" entertainment.

Great series!

This entire series is amazing! Suspense with Christian romance, terrorists, search and rescue teams, and handsome Scotts are this a wonderful book. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone.

Expect the Sunrise

This is the third book in the series, Team Hope. This time we are about to take off on a flight to Disaster, Alaska, and it lives up to its name.

Our two main characters have a recent shared history that they are unaware of when our flight departs under somewhat dubious weather conditions. This is the undercurrent in the opening chapters, until the weather shifts and leads to a crash.

The survival of the group depends on how well they can work together as a team. Not too difficult you would think, but there is a terrorist among them and the future is uncertain. Injured passengers add to the complications.

Meanwhile back in Disaster, the past has finally caught up with a former FBI agent and it’s clear that there are no coincidences, and seemingly no way out.

I enjoyed the story with its drama and adventure. What I didn’t care for is the reader’s inconsistent attempt at a Scottish accent. I’d much prefer to not hear an accent then have one that grates on you the whole story. Hope you enjoy it!

A Romantic Suspense with a Healthy Dose of Nature

As a Romantic Suspense writer and reader, this book fit nicely within the genre requirements. It is heavy on the emotional aspects of a romance, full of the wondering "what-ifs" as the reader is pulled along on the suspenseful ride. The conflicts between the main female and male characters are believable, but the back-and-forth "do I trust" inner monologues seem a little repetitive after a while (even if they are very realistic). The setting seemed so well researched I wanted to see if Warren had actually been stranded in these mountains.

Overall, what I love about Romantic Suspense was here--trying to figure out "whodunit" (or in this case, rather, who's going to do it), a healthy spark between a couple, lots of conflict, split timelines/perspectives, and a sense of good timing. What I don't like was also here--the occasional overdone emotional moment (again, realistic, but not necessary to repeat), the "defining the relationship" moment(s), some characters becoming predictably 2D to make room for the main characters' changes, a possible logical fallacy for the time period (NO ONE on the plane had cell phones to even try to contact the outside world? I mean, it's perfectly possible they were damaged or couldn't get signals, but there was no mention whatsoever. I'd never go to Alaska without my cell or at least a disposable), and a few melodramatic moments. Granted, these flaws are present even in my own writing, so I'm preaching to the choir here. :)

All in all, it's a great story, a great reading, and it kept me riveted for the most part. A few moments dragged, but without those "down-times," the reader would be overwhelmed with the experience. I highly recommend it!

I value the message of forgiveness

I enjoy Susan's writing style, and how she weaves life lessons throughout a suspenseful action story.
