Another amazing story!

Susan May Warren knows how to create heroes who are rugged, handsome, flawed, and wonderful!!

Continuing the story of the Marshall brothers, Wyatt finagles his way into Russia, hoping to rescue Coco and bring her home with him. Yet what can a mere hockey player do?

Wyatt Marshall never felt like he was enough. He had always felt that his father was disappointed in him and his desire to play hockey instead of wanting to work on the family ranch. He tried so hard to prove his worth yet, in his eyes, always failed. This middle son also carried shame for dishonoring the Marshall name, even if he was the only one who knew of it. His family's faith had never been his own. . .

I really liked Wyatt's zeal and his intense love for Coco. With a brother who was a former smoke jumper, one who had been an Army Ranger, one a bull-rider, and the other a Navy SEAL, he didn't quite see himself measuring up to them as a mere hockey goalie. Sure, he had to be tough to endure beatings from the pucks (and players). However, coming up with a strategy for rescuing damsels in distress, knowing how to survive in another country, or saving the world? He knew he was out of his league! And he still dove in, way out of his comfort zone, into a foreign country where people spoke a language he didn't know. All for the girl he had loved from the moment he met her! Doesn't that just make you swoon?

Coco, or Kat, as she was known in Russia, had a secret that she was determined to protect, even at the cost of her life. Not to mention a mountain of guilt. When Wyatt showed up in the place she least expected him, to retrieve the evidence that would clear his sister, she wanted so badly to keep him close. Yet she sent him away, for his own good.

Poor Coco never felt that God could care about her.

In their breathtaking journey as they fought assassins and tried to avoid the Bravta, Coco and Wyatt both needed to come to the realization about who God is and His love for them. Without being preachy, the author guides them through their doubts, insecurities, and fears into the arms of the One who is more than enough because they found they could never be.

Wyatt is full of heart-stopping action, powerful romance, and spiritual journeys. I am looking forward to seeing where things conclude with next month's release of the series finale. York, who was introduced in Ford, was in this story, and I'm sure he is going to be in RJ's story as well - he has to be and I'm expecting amazing things. (Don't tell anyone this but I think I like York more than any of the Marshall brothers! And I can't believe Susan May Warren let things end the way she did!!!)

But don't let this be the first book of The Montana Marshalls series you read. Each story builds on the previous to give you the entire full-blown experience. You won't regret it!
