“Ford” (The Montana Marshalls #3) by Susan May Warren
I have read Knox (book 1) and Tate (book 2) from this series and LOVED them so I was really excited to read about another Marshall brother-Ford! Although this is a series, the books can be read as stand alone books. I prefer to read them in order though for character development.
This story mostly focuses on Ford and his sister Ruby Jane (RJ). Other characters from the previous books are also mentioned throughout since they are family members. Ford travels to Russia with his friend Scarlett to find his missing twin sister RJ after he’s convinced she’s gone missing from a secret covert operation gone bad.
I loved getting to know SEAL member Ford and his determination to protect his loved ones at all costs. Scarlett was a great character as well, who despite her horrible upbringing and lack of parenting, made sacrifices to make a better life for herself. She didn’t use her past to excuse and dictate her future which I loved! They worked really well together as a team.
I also really liked getting to know RJ and York as they traveled around Russia to escape the different organizations that were after them. Throughout the story they were trying to figure out who was trying to frame her for the General’s attempt on his life and who was their friend or enemy. It was a little complicated but I still enjoyed it.
Lots of action, twists and turns. Great characters, dramatic story line, with clean romance and christian themes like forgiveness and grace. I read this book in one day because I couldn’t put it down-I loved it so much!
I can’t wait to read Wyatt and Coco’s story next! I highly recommend this book and series!
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
Family…country…or the woman he loves…
Navy Seal Ford Marshall isn’t the kind to stand by and let a woman get hurt—especially when it involves his twin sister, RJ. So, when she makes the news, accused of sparking an international incident, he doesn’t care what it takes—he’s going to find her and bring her home.
But he might need a little help, so he calls on the woman who has had his back during the last three years—Petty Officer Scarlett Hathaway, former communications expert-turned Rescue Swimmer candidate. She’ll help him get into the country, watch his back, and…well, they might be able to have one last mission together before she leaves for a new life, a life he very much wants to be a part of now that she is off his team. Maybe he can convince her to give them a chance to kindle the spark that’s simmered between them for years.
Scarlett Hathaway isn’t sure what future she wants—not when she suddenly has to care for her little brother. Maybe she should quit the Navy and start a life with the man she can’t seem to get out of her heart. So yes, she’ll help Ford find his sister. And maybe, along the way, figure out if they have a future.
But finding RJ somewhere in the vastness of Russia with the FSB chasing them will push Scarlett beyond even her courage and make her question everything she thought she wanted…including Ford. What will it cost her to love a man who saves the world?
And when Ford is asked to choose between saving his sister, saving the world from a war, and rescuing the woman he loves…can he live with his decision?
The third book in the Montana Marshalls series will leave you breathless!

Biography
Growing up in Minneapolis and attending the U of MN, I learned to love city life, although I’m a woodsy girl at heart. Or maybe I’m an adventurer — having lived and traveled all over the world, including Siberia Russia as a missionary for eight years. Probably that’s why my characters can’t sit still, and seem to get into one scrape after another — they’re too much like me! I love God, my family, my country, my church, and feel privileged every day to be able to write stories.
