Welcome to the Social + Review Blitz for Jack by Susan May Warren hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!


 


MY REVIEW:

I have been a fan of author Susan May Warren since I first discovered her a number of years ago. I love how she develops her characters and the way so many of them connect across her different series. I do often wonder how she keeps up with them all and how they connect. I have to admit that sometimes I get lost!

Jack is the first book in Warren’s latest series, The Minnesota Kingstons. This novel contains everything I have come to expect from this author, including plenty of action and danger, at least one romance complete with complications, and hints of the characters in future volumes as well as an ongoing mystery that will eventually be resolved in the final book. Jack’s story is mostly complete at the end but unanswered questions remain to be answered.

Jack has only loved one woman but at the time she was much too young for him plus was his sister’s best friend. He has berated himself over the years because of their last disastrous encounter and has avoided his home and family in order to avoid running into Harper. Now he must attend his sister’s wedding and hopes he can avoid Harper as much as possible. As fate would have it, one of the bridesmaids disappears and Harper is determined to find her. She needs Jack’s skills as a tracker to help. Frequent readers of Warren’s books will immediately know that sparks will fly.

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of Jack and look forward to finding out what happens next. It was also fun touching base with familiar characters from previous series. Jack can easily stand on its own but I anticipate that the Minnesota Kingstons will be another great series.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by JustReads Publicity. A favorable review was not required. All views expressed are my own.


ABOUT THE BOOK:

Series: Minnesota Kingstons #1
Publisher: SDG Publishing
Release Date: January 10, 2025
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

There’s trouble in the North. Her secret blew apart his life—and now she needs his help? If only he could say no…

Meet Jack, a tracker with a past he’s trying to escape the first epic book of the Minnesota Kingston series by USA Today bestselling author Susan May Warren.

Ten years should be long enough for Jack to forget the girl-next-door, his kid sister’s bestie and the woman—no, girl—who derailed his life. Now, he sort of likes his loner world as a missing person’s tracker. Well, mostly. But of course, when he returns home for his sister’s wedding, there she is…

Nope, not forgotten at all.

Of course Jack the Grump has shown up for his sister’s wedding, and by the way he looks at Harper, um, clearly her sins aren’t forgiven. So what—she’s sooo over her best-friend’s brooding, dark oldest brother. Really.

Then a bridesmaid goes missing.

And sure, Harper is a journalist who knows how to sniff out truth, but the clock is ticking and there’s only one person who can help…Perfect. No problem. She’s not going to fall for her childhood crush again. Promise.

Yes, Jack can admit that Harper’s not the girl he used to call Pigtails anymore. She’s all grown up…but he’s not going to get burned again. Still, what’s a guy going to do?

So, find her missing friend, get the bride down the aisle and ditch town before they find themselves in over their heads…or worse.

Dead.

Jack is a best friend’s brother, childhood crush, grumpy-to sunshine, sweet but sizzly romantic suspense about second chances and finding the family you always wanted…
