 By Kelly Bridgewater

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Fraser by Susan May Warren, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: Fraser

Series: The Minnesota Marshalls #1

Author: Susan May Warren

Publisher: SDG Publishing

Release Date: February 14, 2023

Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

Fraser Marshall is pretty sure his career as a Spec Ops fighter is over. Yes, he’s gone into private security, working for Jones, Inc, but his last gig ended with him wounded and taken captive. And those wounds just won’t heal. The last thing he wants to do is stick around his family’s winery pressing grapes. But what choices does he have?

The answer comes via a panicked phone call from his kid brother, Creed.

Help, Fraser. I’m in over my head…

Yeah he is, because he’s run away with a princess, with her bodyguard hot on the trail. And said bodyguard, Pippa Butler is going to hunt them down, no matter the cost.

Even if she has to join forces with a bossy, arrogant former American SEAL. But Pippa has her own set of lethal skills, and if Fraser gets in the way, she’ll leave him on the side of the road. Still, maybe he’s not a terrible side-kick. He is handsome, and he makes her laugh…

No, no, bad Pippa! She has no room for a man—an American—in her life. And Fraser hasn’t ever considered slowing down. Even if Pippa has him wondering if there is a different future ahead.

But there’s more to the story than a Romeo-and-Juliet runaway romance. Princess Imani has seen a murder, and the perpetrator isn’t going to let her get away. Will Fraser and Pippa find the couple first?

And if they do, can they work together to keep them safe?

It’ll be tough if their hearts get in the way…

Dive into book one of the epic, romantic, globe-trotting suspense of the Minnesota Marshalls!

 

My Thoughts:

Fraser by Susan May Warren jumps into the world of the Minnesota Marshalls. The story is populated with a number of characters who are familiar to readers of Susan May Warren's world. She keeps diving into characters that readers have seen their stories. It is a nice feeling. It is like returning to a family reunion.  I would like to see how the Montana Marshalls and the Minnesota Marshalls are related. Anyways, the plot in Fraser is full of adventure while the hero and heroine are trying to rescue their clients and run from danger while fully fighting the growing emotions toward one another. Being the first book in this new series, Warren has kept to her constinant style of suspense and romance plaguing her characters. Fraser is definitely a novel that Warren fans have come to expect and she does deliver. It will keep the readers up past their bedtime as they want to find out the resolution to the encounters between Fraser and Pippa. I can't wait to add this book to my Warren bookshelf, which is turning into a couple of bookshelves with the number of stories that she has written. Readers will not be disappointed.

I received a complimentary copy of Fraser by Susan May Warren through JustRead Tours, but the opinions stated are all my own.

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

About the Author:

Growing up in Minneapolis and attending the U of MN, I learned to love city life, although I'm a woodsy girl at heart. Or maybe I'm an adventurer -- having lived and traveled all over the world, including Siberia Russia as a missionary for eight years. Probably that's why my characters can't sit still, and seem to get into one scrape after another -- they're too much like me! I love God, my family, my country, my church, and feel privileged every day to be able to write stories.

Here's my "Official" Bio.
