After years as a pilot of a Navy rescue chopper, Arlo "Moose" Mulligan returned home to start Air One Rescue--and made a name for himself. He loves his job, his life, and his routines, which include breakfast at the Skyport Diner, always at one of Tillie Young's tables. She's sweet and pretty, but Moose knows his life has no room for anything more. Until the day Tillie shows up beaten and desperate and needing his help.
Tillie Young never thought her ex would track her to Alaska, but somehow he's found her. When he kidnaps her daughter, she'll do anything to get her back--even enlist help from her favorite grumpy customer. But Moose Mulligan is no match for a former MMA boxer and possible child trafficker, right?
Maybe, maybe not, but he's not going to let another child go missing on his watch. Worse, when Moose finds himself accused as the kidnapper, there's no backing down. He must find the girl, keep Tillie safe, and outwit a man fueled by revenge. It will take all of Moose's Alaskan savvy to keep them alive--but who is going to protect him from the love he never saw coming?
"Trouble is always with us. It's how we react in trouble that matters."
The unflappable and rock-solid Moose definitely gets unmoored in this book as he tries to protect Tillie and her daughter from dangerous thugs and law enforcement alike. It's a wild ride through Alaska as Tillie and Hazel's story unravels and Tillie gets in too deep with the tentacles from her past. Moose is so dependable, trust-worthy, and protective to the core but also needs faith lessons and reminders from his little brother Axel as circumstances spin out of control. Tillie is one tough cookie and has all the credentials to take care of herself but Moose's tenderness and persistence dig under her armor to let love and vulnerability in. There is plenty of fast-paced action and suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I loved the subplot between Shep and London and can't wait to read their story next. Cameo appearances from the Kingston siblings were quite delightful throughout the book.

One Last Promise by Susan May Warren is everything you’ve come to expect in one of her novels. Action, suspense, romance, and faith packaged into a compelling read. I’ve liked Moose from the start because he’s a man of his word and fiercely protective of those he loves. Tillie is a strong female with a perfect mixture of tough and tenderness. She’ll do whatever it takes to protect her daughter Hazel. The supporting characters are all familiar if you’ve read the two previous books, and I can say so far, I’ve liked them all. I don’t know how she does it, but she is a machine when it comes to producing compelling action-packed stories. The action starts early and continues with one twist after another until the villain finally gets his due. I didn’t want to stop reading this story. It definitely kept me turning the pages.
