Review: I'll Be There

I'll Be There by Susan May Warren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Smokejumper Connor Young is getting ready to marry the woman who's stood beside him for three years, artist Liza Beaumont. And while she's still struggling with nightmares as she tries to recover from a vicious grizzly bear attack, she keeps telling herself that the panic she feels at the thought of what Connor does for a living will fade once they're actually married. But when Connor gets a chance to dig into the mystery of who murdered his brother, is the ensuing danger too much for Liza to take?

I loved how this book went beyond happily ever after - so few books do that! It was wonderful to explore some of the complex and deeper issues in a relationship beyond the marriage proposal. As usual with a Susan May Warren novel, the spiritual issues feel authentic and deeply ingrained in the story itself. This can be read as a stand-alone, but it's much better to read as a follow-up to Connor and Liza's original story in Playing with Fire.

Filled with adventure and emotion, I'll Be There is a moving tribute to the value of promises made and kept by the people we love and by the God who loves us. Another winner for Susan May Warren.
