About the book:
There's Trouble in the North...
Meet Jack, a tracker with a past he’s trying to escape. The first epic book of the Minnesota Kingston series by USA Today bestselling author Susan May Warren.
Her secret blew apart his life—and now she needs his help? If only he could say no…
Ten years should be long enough for Jack to forget the girl-next-door, his kid sister’s bestie and the woman—no, girl—who derailed his life. Now, he sort of likes his loner world as a missing person’s tracker. Well, mostly. But of course, when he returns home for his sister’s wedding, there she is…
Nope, not forgotten at all.
Of course Jack the Grump has shown up for his sister’s wedding, and by the way he looks at Harper, um, clearly her sins aren’t forgiven. So what—she’s sooo over her best-friend’s brooding, dark oldest brother. Really.
Then a bridesmaid goes missing.
And sure, Harper is a journalist who knows how to sniff out truth, but the clock is ticking and there’s only one person who can help…Perfect. No problem. She’s not going to fall for her childhood crush again. Promise.
Yes, Jack can admit that Harper’s not the girl he used to call Pigtails anymore. She’s all grown up…but he’s not going to get burned again. Still, what’s a guy going to do?
So, find her missing friend, get the bride down the aisle and ditch town before they find themselves in over their heads…or worse.
Dead.
Jack is a best friend’s brother, childhood crush, grumpy-to sunshine, sweet but sizzly romantic suspense about second chances and finding the family you always wanted…

My review:
I could not put this story down! This has a couple of my favorite tropes plus I love the idea of Jack helping find missing people for a living. You add in that one of my favorite authors is writing it and I knew I would not be disappointed! I loved the romance and their history and the suspense was great as they worked together to find the missing bridesmaid, Penelope. I also liked that the bridesmaid had a true crime podcast and they were trying to figure out if her disappearance was related to that or not. There was some talk of God and faith and Jack had to look at his life and figure out some stuff about his past and his choices. There was a hint of a romance brewing between Jack's brother and Penelope and the next book will focus on them. There's also an intriguing subplot involving another brother and a woman he knew from his Navy Seal days as she sneaks around in disguises and believes she's trying to stop a terrorist plot and he doesn't seem to realize who she is. I'm sure more will be uncovered in the next books! It was such fun to see previous characters from other books but this book worked well as a stand-alone if you haven't read any of the other series. I can't wait for the next installment!
I received a free ebook copy of this book from the author. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
