Review: Jonas by Susan May Warren

My rating: 5 stars / It was amazing

Synopsis

Jonas Marshall is done storm-chasing, plagued with the memory of a terrible accident that paralyzed a fellow chaser, so the last thing he’s going to do is run into more danger. Now, he’s just a simple weatherman deploying dirigibles in an experiment to track weather patterns in Slovenia.

As far from danger as he can get.

But danger comes knocking in the form of hiker in need of rescue, and he can’t deny that her companion—beautiful Sibba Kovac—is a great distraction from the guilt that haunts him…until she paraglides right out of his life.

Probably for the best.

But danger still won’t leave him alone when a storm knocks his dirigibles out of the sky, and he happens upon one that looks tampered with…

It is. And worse, it’s carrying what could be radioactive waste. At least according to EOD expert Sibba…who finds herself face-to-face with the rescuer she can’t forget. But she’s not looking for him—her grandfather is missing, and she’ll stop at nothing to find him.

When her missing grandfather leads to the threat of a dirty bomb, she’s the only one who can stop it. And Jonas is the only man brave enough to run into danger with her. But she doesn’t have room in her heart to love him—not when she lives with death in her periphery. Can the right man, at the right time help her see beyond her fears to a future?

And if they have a chance to save the world, can Jonas let go of the woman he loves?

My Review

This series keeps getting better! I loved the unique occupations of Jonas and Sibba- severe weather chaser and bomb diffuser?! Guaranteed action. I also loved the setting of Slovenia, since it's a new location for me to read about and most especially because my mom and stepdad are currently serving a church mission there! Although now I'm freaked out about the leftover bombs from the wars. Anyhow, we continue with the nonstop adventure, danger, and suspense as Jonas chases down his weather dirigibles and crosses paths with Sibba, joining efforts to prevent more nuclear waste from being deployed in the area. The strong support characters from other books in the author's various series assist with the mission as they follow Jonas and Sibba who lead them to the perpetrators. I loved their chemistry, the way they admire and respect each other, and even though they both have their issues to work through and overcome, their faith emerges to strengthen them in their trials. Some of the story is told from Ned's perspective, providing a lead-in to the next book, which I can't wait to read!
