Review: Jonas

Jonas Jonas by Susan May Warren
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

Rating 4.5

This was a stormy and explosive story!

God is in the storm. Though the winds blow, and my life feels torn apart, if I can just trust Him, I’ll discover Him at the center.

Sibba was a strong and female lead and I enjoyed how she loved paragliding and anything else adventurous. Her relationship with her grandfather was sweet to see and her backstory heartbreaking.

Jonas was one of those strong males who with navy seal brothers, did not always see his worth and courage, even though he is always the one to run towards a storm.

“Just make sure that you fight the battle God has given you, and not one of your own making.”

I loved all the characters from previous series which made appearances in this book – I am a serial fanatic, so when I can meet up with previous characters I have met and loved, I want to do my happy dance.

If you still need to read the author’s backlist, you will not miss out by reading this story first, but you will meet a lot of interesting characters you would like to go back and read more off.

The author has a talent for bringing spiritual messages through her stories and has again done it masterfully.

I closed with book with one thought: WHEN IS NED COMING!

About the book:


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?

The thrilling second book in the epic romantic suspense of the Minnesota Marshalls!
