Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for The Epic Story of RJ and York by Susan May Warren, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
ABOUT THE SERIES
It’s an epic adventure across Europe, from France to Italy, to Germany and even Russia in this riveting, fun, romantic, enthralling trilogy about true love, honor, and the cost of, well, saving the world.
Title: Out of the Night
Series: The Epic Story of York & RJ #1
Author: Susan May Warren
Publisher: SDG Publishing
Release Date: August 9, 2022
Genre: Romantic Suspense (Clean)
The romantic trilogy ignites in book one of the Epic Story of RJ and York!
He’s not looking for trouble…
All former spy and current national security agent York Newgate wants is to propose to the woman he loves, RJ Marshall. Then they can move to Shelly, Washington, and start the calm, safe life he’s been dreaming of for over a year.
Too bad trouble doesn’t agree…
Or maybe RJ simply attracts trouble because she’s just going out for coffee when she spots a wanted, known terrorist standing in the middle of a street in Paris. At least she thinks it’s international criminal Alan Martin, the mastermind behind a plot to kill the president.
But he's in jail, right?
Wrong. Martin has escaped, and it’s up to RJ—and York—to keep him in their sights until he can be apprehended. But chasing down Martin means following him into the darkness of whatever plot he's cooked up now.
Will he ever outrun trouble to find his happy ending?
So much for York’s epic proposal. Now, he just wants to escape Europe with their lives.
My Review
I was so happy that we get to read more adventures with Ruby Jane and York! He was definitely one of my favorites from the Montana Marshalls series. He's kind of like a burned out James Bond, and just wants to retire from the spy game with peace. RJ, on the other hand, still has plenty of energy to give and enthusiastically throws herself into whatever it takes to save the world. I loved their romantic moments, even though they still have things in their relationship to work on. The fast pace is full of nail-biting danger and close calls, with the book ending on a cliffhanger- so be prepared to read this series back to back! I'm so glad the author is releasing them close together so readers don't have to wait or risk losing interest over time.

Title: I Will Find You
Series: The Epic Story of York & RJ #2
Author: Susan May Warren
Publisher: SDG Publishing
Release Date: August 16, 2022
Genre: Romantic Suspense (Clean)
The gripping romantic adventure continues across Europe in this second installment of the Epic Story of RJ and York!
The woman he loves has vanished…
When RJ Marshall said she’d be right back, York should have objected. No, he wasn’t going to let her run off to Berlin, even if it was to save a little girl.
Only problem—she’d told him this while he was unconscious. So really, it doesn’t count, and it’s not his fault that she’s gone missing. And, he didn’t know why he expected RJ not to chase danger into trouble. But now he has to find her before criminal mastermind Alan Martin tracks her down.
She’s in over her head…
RJ didn’t mean to leave York behind, but she’s on a mission to save a little girl caught in the crossfire of Martin’s terrorist plot. Now, she’ll have to find the girl and keep her safe while leaving clues for York to follow her.
But who will catch up to her first—York, or the man with a vendetta?
My Review
While the action picks up right where it left off in the previous book, I especially loved the strong faith message that I found woven throughout. Secondary characters Ziggy and Roy add depth and influence RJ's perspective in good ways, and a dual timeline story brought another dimension to the story. It's inspiring to see how these characters are still developing and growing, showing that it is a lifelong process that we are continually seeking to change and grow closer to God. The epic adventure with danger and suspense doesn't slow down, and I can't wait to read the next book and see how it all wraps up!

Title: No Matter the Cost
Series: The Epic Story of York & RJ #3
Author: Susan May Warren
Publisher: SDG Publishing
Release Date: August 23, 2022
Genre: Romantic Suspense (Clean)
The riveting conclusion to the Epic Story of RJ and York!
Her worst nightmare has happened….
RJ refuses to believe it, and until she has proof, she’s going to keep searching for answers. And most of all, for the man she loves, even if it means diving into the past he always wanted to keep secret.
The kind of secrets that could have set York free. It’ll take a trip back to Russia, to the sketchy and dark history of York’s life to find the clues to the sinister plans of a global terrorist. And the answers that might lead her to a happy ending.
Or has it? What if her happy ending is more than a dream?
If RJ hopes to save her country—and find out the truth about York—she’ll have to become the high-action, Sydney Bristow spy that she always dreamed of being. But really, does RJ really have what it takes—with, or without the man she loves—to save the world?
And if she does…what will be the cost?
My Review
What an absolutely satisfying conclusion to this trilogy! Learning more about York's past and how that has influenced him peeled back more layers to this dynamic character, and his relationship with RJ deepens as they become more in sync with their desires for the future. The plot is suspenseful, with more twists, turns and surprises that had me gripping my Kindle as I read! Epic is the perfect word for this series and I loved every moment of the wild and crazy ride. I'm amazed at the author's skill in immersing me completely into the setting and emotions of the characters, feeling what they are feeling as I read- my favorite kind of reading experience! I love these characters and was so happy and relieved with their happily-ever-after.
