Apparently, Ford was jealous of Knox and Tate getting caught in explosions. Ford decides to blow himself up… for a good cause, of course. This starts the book out with a bang, and the frenetic pace continues through to the end. What else would you expect from a Navy SEAL determined to save his twin sister?

Ford is a well-written, suspense-filled ride. Plots are mounting up, and how everything will end for the Marshall siblings is yet to be seen.

Full review: https://rebeccasreadingcorner.blog/review-susan-may-warren-ford/ ( )

I've read the previous two books in the series ("Knox" and "Tate") and enjoyed them. I would classify this as suspensful romance since, to me, the romance aspect is emphasized a bit more than the suspense/thriller part of the story.

I feel the characters voices have deepened as Warren has progressed with this series. I feel like we got to know more about Ford's and Scarlett's inner struggles than we have the other main characters from the other two books. Both Ford and Scarlett have to learn to trust God and to trust others.

Warren does a good job of setting up the characters for future installments. I have to admit that I don't really remember Coco much from the previous books--I'm not sure if her story was covered in a different series by the author or is just backstory. I'm sure we'll find out more about her in Wyatt's book which is next up for the series. We also get a taste of Ruby Jane (RJ) and York--which makes me wonder if RJ will get her own book in the series. There's also the Marshall mom who's got a new love interest so I guess the series could continue on past the brothers. (We've also seen the brothers mentioned in another of Warren's series.)

I did find it a bit annoying that we don't know what happens to York and Coco by the end of this book. I would have liked a little bit more of a hint on what's to come for them. ( )

Another addictive read in the Montana Marshalls series, Ford is exactly what I have come to expect from Susan May Warren—and that’s a great thing.

It’s only natural that Navy SEAL Ford Marshall has the protective gene, plus a need to prove his worth. So, when his twin sister RJ becomes embroiled in scandal in Russia, he can’t help rushing to her aid—and brings Petty Officer Scarlett Hathaway along for the ride.

Now, it is quite the high-stakes adventure that this pair has, and I am here for it. Action, danger, drama, superb chemistry… It’s fast-paced and fun and full of heart. I recommend it (but be sure to read Tate first, since that’s where the story begins between Ford and Scarlett—or better yet, just start at the beginning of the series; you won’t regret it).

I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own. ( )

4.5 stars

I can always count on Susan May Warren to write something that keeps me on the edge of my seat and my heart rate elevated throughout her books.

In Ford, the third installment of The Montana Marshalls series, readers are swept on a wild chase through Russia (complete with FSB and the Russian mafia) as Ford and Scarlett team up to find RJ (Ford’s twin sister) and get her out of the country.

The Marshall family members are headstrong, independent, and committed to doing the right thing despite the personal cost. And while they may sometimes rely too much on their own strength, they have a firm foundation of faith which eventually makes its way to the surface.

Warren is a master of writing novels that flow into each other so that I won’t be completely satisfied until the series conclusion when everyone gets their happy ending. Up next, hockey goalie brother Wyatt. Come on, October!

"He used to say that he didn't show up where God hadn't gone first. That he didn't worry about fixing anything - that God already had it figured out. He was just following orders."

Oh, my. How does Susan May Warren's books get better and better as the series unfolds? Wait... did I say this about Tate after reading it?!?!
Well, somehow the series does keep getting better and this book 3 in The Montana Marshalls series will totally wrap itself around your heart and mind, even after having loved and cherished Knox and Tate. I was not expecting an adrenaline-filled, action-packed, complex international suspense thriller when I picked up Ford (though I knew it would take place mostly in Russia) and was absolutely delighted as the plot picked up pace and rolled at bullet-train speed. As always, the writing is clever and emotional with great dialogue and banter, the characters are beautifully flawed and intensely lovable, the romance is totally swoony (and we get quite a few couples in the book by this point in the series), and the faith element is spot-on.

Ford, our Navy SEAL hero, traverses the world to find his twin sister who's been framed as an assassin in Russia. He's got a haunting demon from the past that drives his reckless and impulsive need to prove himself and he prefers to be the lone wolf, depending on his skills and strengths. Scarlett is his teammate whose terribly broken past prevents her from really loving and being loved....and tragedies of the present suffocate her even more. Despite their brokenness, Ford and Scarlett combine their bravery, strength, resourcefulness, and intelligence to find his sister RJ in the vast Russian underworld. Add to this great plot RJ's flight and romance through Russia with a mysterious protector named York and a little taste of Wyatt, and the book will have your heart pounding from the spectrum of emotions and head spinning from the intricate threads in the overarching plot coming together. And the plot twists! There are enough of those to cause a twister throughout the story. And through so many near-death incidents, Ford realizes God's power and gives Him the glory and control as Scarlett slowly de-ices her heart to hear God's calling.

And now it's "hurry up and wait" time for Wyatt (book 4) and Ruby Jane (book 5) to release! Oh, the anticipation!!
