about the book

RESCUE. DANGER. DEVOTION.

THIS TIME, THEIR HEARTS ARE ON THE LINE.

She's been searching for her father for fifteen years...

Maria Sanchez has spent her entire career as a CIA operative searching for her father, and she’s not going to let some tough, arrogant former-soldier-turned-hotshot stand in her way.

His life was upended on a single fateful mission...

After being betrayed, branded a traitor, and declared dead, Kane Foster has a lot prove—and he’s not going to let his team—or his country—down. Even if he has to douse the sparks between him and his feisty teammate. Because some things are more important than love.

Now someone tell that to his heart…

As the smoke clears on this pulse-pounding series, buried truths will be uncovered and loyalties tested in this sizzling finale to the Chasing Alaska romantic suspense series.

review

a heart-racing conclusion to the chasing alaska series!

fans of the series are sure to love how this sixth book, burning justice, brings the overarching storyline to an end; i, however, was mostly confused... i read burning hearts and made the mistake of skipping to this last book. there are a lot of characters and relationships, plus developments to the ongoing threat, that just would have been easier to manage by reading each book of the series in order. so, if you have an interest in this romantic-suspense series (and you should!), do it right and read all the books.

cia operative maria and ex-military kane have quite a lot to prove in this book. maria's determined to finally, after fifteen years, find her father, while kane just wants to keep her safe (and maybe come back from the dead, too). it's all action and danger and denying-their-feelings-to-avoid-distraction-and-wait-on-God's-timing, which makes for quite an exciting read. despite my confusion, i enjoyed following these two characters, the twists and turns of their challenges, and their faith in God and each other through it all.

if you love romantic suspense—full of fire, danger, and a friends-to-more romance—be sure to check out burning justice (but, again, only after you read the rest of the series!).

i received a complimentary copy from the publisher. i was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions i have expressed are my own.
 

considerations:
