When country music star Oaken Fox joins survivalist Mike Grizz's new adventure show in the Alaskan wilderness, he just wants to boost his fan base. But when tragedy strikes and Air One Rescue must save them, Oaken wants to quit. Too bad his producer has other plans--signing him on with Air One Rescue as a recruit and making a reality show.
EMT Boo Kingston did not join Air One Rescue to train a celebrity. But she's a rookie to the team, so yes, she'll train Oaken and keep him alive and not for a minute pay attention to his charm.
And then five women go missing from a resort during a bachelorette weekend gone wrong. Now, Air One and the rescue team will have to use all their skills and manpower--including Oaken--to find them before a blizzard settles in. But can they work together before tragedy strikes?
My review:
This is not a book that I was given to review. I bought it. I rarely do a review on my blog for books I was not given to review....but this book deserves it.
This has got to be one of Warren's best books. This was an awesome read. I loved Boo and Oaken. They were both such great characters, and he made a great hero - a little uncertain and unsure of himself, but he came through when needed.
The book had a lot - a lot - of drama and tense moments. I think this author is at her best when she is writing about her characters rescuing people. She did such a great job of describing the scenes, the danger, the tense moments for the rescuers. It was epic.
And Warren did a pretty good job of writing country music lyrics :)
When the book started, Oaken thought God was out to get him, to punish him, and he had some pretty messed up ideas about his sister's death some years before. The author, through some of the characters, especially "Moose" and Axel, had some great truths.....which is something I love about Christian fiction. God can use it to speak to the readers.
For such an action and drama-filled book, it had a quiet but very cool ending. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I like the team the author has put together, and can't wait to read the others' stories.
