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.

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!

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!

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.

I value the message of forgiveness

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

A good clean listen

Would you consider the audio edition of Expect the Sunrise to be better than the print version?

Didn't read the book, but the audio was very satisfying

Who was your favorite character and why?

Andy was my favorite character. She was the strength of the story.

What does Julia Gibson bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

She lets me hear word for word with emotions and feeling, where when reading I can sometimes gloss over parts I might not find appealing.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It took me by surprise a few times and made me feel a part of the characters intense situation.

Any additional comments?

I really loved this story. It wasn't to heavy on the Christian side...just enough to know that honest people do depend on God in good times and bad. It was nice to have a little drama mixed with a little romance and a little intrigue, without having to wade through twisted sick scenes, sex or bad language. A clean read that left you feeling good at the end.

Very well read

I liked the hopeful theme, the patriotism, the truthfully described feelings, and the clean content. Well done!

This was great series. I would like to see more of this series. What I like about the series is they call themselves Hope. As Christians we are to spread the word of Jesus. Also we need to realize we are human and sin is second nature. We doubt ourselves. We need to Realize God is in control not us. He has a plan even if we don't know what it is. Please give me more of these stories 🙏.

Get your story straight!

Between the author and the reader they really mangle this one.
First off the pipeline of Alaska is not something someone can shoot at and make a hole in. It happened once! The person blazed away for quite awhile before they managed to penetrate it.
During 911 people were not concerned about terrorism to the pipeline.
Valdez is not pronounced like it is in Mexico. The "dez" rhymes with sneeze. In Alaska the "C" in Arctic is silent.
Deadhorse and Prudhoe Bay are the same place. There are no families living there. It is an oil field "camp". There was never a Deadhorse High School.
If an author uses true Alaska names they need get them right. Or use fictitious names.
I was glad I didn't have to listen to this book past the second chapter. The misinformation about Alaska is just too annoying.

Not on top of my list

This book was difficult for me to get through. It was an easy enough listen but I was not expecting how religious the book ended up being. I found myself fast forwarding the prayer sessions and a good portion of the middle which seemed to have stalled. I'm not anti-religious, I just thought it was overdone in this book. All and all, definitely not on the top of my list.
