Steinbeck

A Navy Seal Who Protects Everyone. A Woman Who Trusts No One. And a Conspiracy That Will Force Them Both to Choose. (The Minnesota Kingstons, Book 5)

By: Susan May Warren

Narrated by: Adam Gold, Laura E. Richcreek

There's Trouble in the North...The last person she can trust is the man she left for dead… but he's the only one who knows she's alive, so…

Emberly "Phoenix" Hart has spent years proving herself as one of the Black Swans' most capable operatives. But when her mission to secure a dangerous AI program leads to capture by the Russian mob, she's forced to reach out to the only man who knows she's alive…the man she betrayed.

Steinbeck Kingston left his SEAL career behind after a mission gone wrong—a mission involving Phoenix. Now he's her only hope of escape, but trusting her again could cost him everything, including his reluctant heart.

As they race to prevent the Russians from weaponizing stolen AI technology, Emberly and Steinbeck uncover a deadly betrayal that threatens everything they hold dear. With the enemy closing in and time running out, they must choose between protecting their hearts and saving countless lives—including those of Steinbeck's family.

When the traitor strikes at the heart of Steinbeck's home, can Emberly finally trust in love enough to stop running? Or will her instinct to survive alone cost her the only real family she's ever known?

A pulse-pounding romantic suspense that delivers heart-stopping action, soul-deep emotion, and a love worth fighting for.

This faith-filled contemporary romance features a protective alpha hero, a fierce heroine learning to trust, found family, second chances, and redemption wrapped in a high-stakes international thriller that will keep you turning pages long into the night.

Great ending to the Minnesota Kingston series!

Fantastic ending! I love the Kingston family and the Minnesota Kingston series does a great job tying each story together by pulling in the family and their characters into each story. I love being able to follow the other siblings with small or large parts in each book. Steinbeck and Emberly/ Phoenix finally solve the case of who is trying to steal the software and why -what can it do for the thieves that make it so important? It has been a thread woven artfully into each story and building in the series while the stories of the other siblings occur separately, but around it. It is excellent action, suspense and romance -not just for Steinbeck, but Jack and Harper who began the Minnesota Kingston series in "Jack" and Boo/ Bronte and Oaken who led into this series from the Alaska Air One Rescue series in "One Last Shot." Fantastic adventure/ mystery/ romance stories with a great Christian base.
The narrators are perfect for this series -I love listening to Adam and Laura perform. Which series to start next? :)
