Sam's Folly

Midnight Sons, Book 1

By: Carmen DeSousa

Narrated by: Stephanie Nemeth-Parker

Sam Belgarde never wanted to be the head of his family’s search & rescue team, but when life dumps responsibilities in your lap, you either run away or step up. He stepped up. He also never wanted to be a hero, but he and his search dogs can sense danger a mile away…

So when a bigwig fight promoter needs someone to search for his missing fiancée, Sam’s more than a little reluctant. His family's company is in financial trouble, though, so if searching for a spoiled socialite will save it, then he's willing to break the rules — just this once.

After witnessing a murder, Nora Molina needs to get away fast, and her best hope to escape without her passport is Alaska. A native of Argentina, Nora's accustomed to harsh winters and high elevation, so she gets more than a little irritated when some tracker thinks she needs rescuing. Even if he is get-out sexy. And even if he's the guy she stood up before leaving town. It's going to be a long few days.

When an unexpected storm rolls in, Sam and Nora find themselves in each other's arms—to keep warm. Things get a little too hot when it's clear someone wants the two of them to stay lost — permanently.

Good

The Land of the Midnight Sun, stories of five brothers, working on missing cases of search and rescue, wanting love, in this untamed wilderness. Interesting and good beginning to the series. Given audio which I enjoyed for my voluntary review

Great

New author for me and this book was beyond my expectations. Alot of twists and turns kept me on edge of my seat. Truly a great read.

Search and rescue in Denali

Sam Belgarde runs a family owned search and rescue business in Alaska. He also runs safety classes to those planning to hike Denali. That's where he meets Nora Molina and he is attracted to her instantly. He later runs into her at the local bar where he and his family are celebrating Dare's birthday. They spend some time together, but when they get called for a rescue he has to leave. When a man shows up a few days later, telling him he wants him to find his missing fiancee, he's surprised, but he accepts the job since he was planning to look for her anyway. He is only able to bring one of his search and rescue dogs because the other is sick. When the dog tracks Nora off the path to Denali, Sam realizes something is off.
This was an exciting story with unexpected twists and turns, that I really enjoyed.
