What did I like? This is the second book in the Yeager series and I am here to tell you that the action in these books will blow you away. The action, mystery, humor and excitement are unbelievable. The characters are so loveable and so real. I started this one afternoon and could not put it down till the last page. It is fast and unrelenting, totally plausible, very convincing, forceful and completely reasonable and that was only the first few chapters, wait till you really get into the book.
What will you like? Characters that will have you coming back for more and more, fully developed storyline that includes lots of details that will not bog you down but will show the research that was done to make this an explosive second adventure. Abel is the average guy that believes in the right of things and Victor is the nut case that helps him accomplish all of that. In this story we had two more guys that were added to the cast list that really will tear your heart out. I fell in love with Abel and Victor in book one and just hope that this series will continue with many books in the future.
@ddeegott “I received this for being an advanced reader for the author. Besides getting all the good books in advance of hitting the market and have the opportunity to share my remarks, I love being part of the team that works with authors as they share each new book that they pen”.
Another great Able Yeager story filled with action, intrigue and suspense. We see many of the great characters we met in the first book and meet some interesting new ones as well. Scott Bennett does a great job of the narration, hitting the different accents just right and infusing tension and emotion in all the right places. This story can have you on the edge of your seat, makes your heart ache and has you laughing, all within the same chapter. Even though it is a stand-a-lone story there are threads that run from book to book, creating a depth and richness to the world. You can not help but love the strong, quirky characters in this story, you are drawn into their lives and just don’t want to stop hearing about them. Couple that with the great storyline and the excellent narration and you have a definite winner.

*Book source ~ ARC. My review is voluntary and honest.
Abel Yeager survived his last trucking adventure and he’s living a nice quiet life with the love of his life and her son when his buddy Victor “Por Que” Ruiz comes aknocking. After earthquakes screw up the Sierra Madre region of Mexico and the drug cartels are making things more difficult for relief efforts, Victor’s distant cousin, a priest at an orphanage, needs help getting a truckload of supplies in. Yeager can’t turn away, so off he flies in Victor’s helicopter. It’s a dangerous situation, but Yeager doesn’t like it when bad guys hurt innocent people. As far as he’s concerned they can kill each other all they want, but put women and children in harm’s way and it makes him want to put the big hurt on them. Only this time he might not make it back to Charlie and David.
Holy shit! I cannot express how much I lurve Abel Yeager. I have the Big Crush on him. Charlie better watch out! Just kidding. I have a Marine of my own. *winks* There is so much to love in this story that I don’t even know where to start. There are multiple POVs that all come together in the end, suspense, action, bad guys, good guys, mystery, love and humor all mixed together to make the tastiest of treats to read. I had the hardest time putting this awesome adrenaline-fueled story down. I did so only when real life forced me to. Real life is an asshat sometimes. And omg, that ending! I knew it! I won’t spoil what I knew, but I will say I think I know where Yeager and Por Que will be heading next. Maybe. Maybe the situation will be resolved in another way. But I hope I’m right in guessing the next adventure. *rubs hands together*
My only complaint, as in the last book, is the fact that Marine should be capitalized and there are no ex-Marines. Huge pet peeves of mine, but the rest of the story rocks so I only deducted half a bite (star) for what I (and every other Marine and their families) consider the hugest faux pas around. I wanted my husband to read this story. In fact, I know he would love it, but he refuses to read anything where Marine is not capitalized and he despises the term ex-Marine, so I guess I’ll have to wallow in my post-read nirvana all by myself.
Edit: March 2017
It took me over a year (from the time I read Yeager’s Law), but I finally talked my husband into reading this series despite the Marine faux pas. He loved book 1 and he’s on to book 2.
