By: Carmen DeSousa

Narrated by: Stephanie Nemeth-Parker

The Midnight Sons - Men as wild and rugged as the last frontier itself

Five brothers risk their lives to rescue those caught in the death grip of the Alaskan wilderness...and find their hearts in danger of falling for women as tough as the Land of the Midnight Sun.

Series Description:

The siren call of Alaska's untamed wilderness, vast mountain ranges, and majestic glaciers draw thrill-seekers from around the globe. But with more unsolved missing person cases than anywhere else in the world, the Alaska Triangle has an ominous reputation. Enter the Midnight Sons, a team that risks their own lives to rescue those in peril.

Being a hero isn't all it's cracked up to be, though. The pay sucks, as does the fact that the team leaders have to be ready to spring into action 24/7, 365 days a year - a lifestyle not conducive to a healthy love life. Worse, while the brothers are experts in their individual fields, they each harbor inner demons and secrets that threaten to tear their family apart...and jeopardize any chance of finding the women who could complete them.

Book One: Sam's Folly

When a bigwig fight promoter needs someone to search for his missing fiancée, he hires expert tracker Sam Belgarde and his search dogs. Sam is more than a little reluctant. His family's company, Search and Rescue Alaska, is in financial trouble, though, so if searching for a spoiled socialite will save it, then he's willing to break the rules - just this once.

After witnessing a murder, Nora Molina needs to get away - fast - and her best hope to escape without her passport is Alaska. A native of Argentina, Nora's accustomed to harsh winters and high elevation, so she gets more than a little irritated when some tracker thinks she needs rescuing. Even if he is get-out sexy. And even if he's the guy she stood up before leaving town. It's going to be a long few days.

When an unexpected storm rolls in, Sam and Nora find themselves in each other's arms - to keep warm. Things get a little too hot when it's clear someone wants the two of them to stay lost - permanently.

Good

The Land of the Midnight Sun, stories of five brothers, working on missing cases of search and rescue, wanting love, in this untamed wilderness. Interesting and good beginning to the series. Given audio which I enjoyed for my voluntary review

Great

New author for me and this book was beyond my expectations. Alot of twists and turns kept me on edge of my seat. Truly a great read.

Search and rescue in Denali

Sam Belgarde runs a family owned search and rescue business in Alaska. He also runs safety classes to those planning to hike Denali. That's where he meets Nora Molina and he is attracted to her instantly. He later runs into her at the local bar where he and his family are celebrating Dare's birthday. They spend some time together, but when they get called for a rescue he has to leave. When a man shows up a few days later, telling him he wants him to find his missing fiancee, he's surprised, but he accepts the job since he was planning to look for her anyway. He is only able to bring one of his search and rescue dogs because the other is sick. When the dog tracks Nora off the path to Denali, Sam realizes something is off.
This was an exciting story with unexpected twists and turns, that I really enjoyed.
