Book Description:
A hijacked plane. A pursuing killer. And a K9's instinct to help them make it out alive.
Pop singer Keely Williams's search for her biological mother in Alaska has been painfully unsuccessful. Now she just wants to escape this wild frontier and never look back. But when her plane is hijacked, she's suddenly plunged into a race against not only an Alaskan blizzard but also a killer who's on her tail.
After a career-ending injury, ex-cop Dawson Mulligan has only one friend--Caspian, the stray dog he adopted. Dawson just wants to figure out how to get his life on track, but during a flight home to Copper Mountain, he spots a downed plane and stops to help. Except, when his not-a-rescue dog runs off into the woods and discovers the trail of a missing survivor, it's up to the former cop to stage a rescue.
But Dawson has no idea he's being pulled into a deadly pursuit, or that Caspian is more than he seems. There might be redemption and second chances waiting for both Dawson and Keely if they have the courage to face their wounded pasts and fight for their future.
Join master storyteller Susan May Warren for a propulsive ride through the Alaskan wilderness, where love might be the riskiest--and most rewarding--adventure of all.
My Thoughts: Riveting
I completely loved this book for several reasons, starting with Keely and Dawson. They are two individuals who have faced their share of struggles and are in desperate need of healing—physically, emotionally, and much more.
The second thing is the suspense and mystery. What a roller coaster ride! I was turning pages as fast as I could to see where it was all going. I'd be holding my breath one moment and letting it out the next when I thought the ride was over. But then, another dip and turn in the road had me doing it again.
The blend of suspense, mystery, and romance was perfect and kept me glued to the pages all the way through. The combination makes the story one you should absolutely check out, and if you don't, you will definitely be missing out.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book. All comments and opinions are entirely my own and voluntary.
