Book Review: Fraser by Susan May Warren

About the Book:

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 offers an intense story of adventure, danger, and romance. I enjoyed Fraser and Pippa’s growing relationship as they traversed Switzerland and Italy in pursuit of Creed and Imani. Fraser and Pippa are well-matched in skills and personality. The danger accelerated their relationship a bit, but the occasional banter and romantic kisses felt perfectly timed. Between the suspense and romance, it was hard to put this novel down.

Fraser by Susan May Warren kickstarts The Minnesota Marshalls series. The novel borrows from Susan May Warren’s previous series and Rachel Hauck’s House of Blue series. It is not necessary to read the other books as Fraser works as a standalone. I found the ending satisfactory, but several situations were open-ended as this book leads directly into book two, Jonas. I’m eager to read the rest of the series. Four stars.
