A Honeymoon… Abel Yeager StyleAbel Yeager has settled into a life of domestic bliss with his lovely wife, Charlotte. He’s left the violence and bloodshed behind to concentrate on being a good father and husband. For their long-delayed honeymoon, Abel and Charlie take a Hawaiian cruise. They’re looking forward to hiking volcanoes and sightseeing, once they meet up with Victor “Por Que” Ruiz and … “Por Que” Ruiz and his new love, Dr. Alexandra Lopez.
Their idyllic vacation explodes in violence when a group of Hawaiian separatists, incited by a foreign power, rip through the islands, leaving blood and destruction in their wake. When Charlie is caught up with a group of hostages held by the terrorists as human shields, Abel is forced back into warrior mode.
The Hawaiians are supported by a few dozen foreign special forces soldiers, modern gear, and plenty of munitions. Abel has the help of three septuagenarian Vietnam veteran Marines and his pal Victor. Outnumbered and outgunned, Abel will stop at nothing to rescue his wife.

This is another great Abel Yeager story. Even on honeymoon trouble seems to search him out, but old friends and new come together to battle the bad guys. This book is full of action, perseverance, battles, camaraderie and characters you can’t help but like. I loved the inclusion of the elderly marines and how even though they were long past retirement they didn’t hesitate to step back into their old roles. To continue to serve, and to protect. The narrator of the audiobook did a great job of all the accents, giving each character an individual voice and really bringing the book to life. The strength, loyalty, love and friendship in this story is great and I look forward to hearing more tales of Yeager and his friends.
Good read. Action packed and a page turner.
Love the book, live the action. Got to have his other two with Yeager!
What a pleasure to read a compelling action-adventure yarn written by someone who knows firearms.
A rag-tag crew of ex-Marines takes on a superior force of terrorists and foreign special ops troops in this page-turner. And not once did “clip” wrongly appear in place of “magazine”, or was a Glock said to have its “safety” clicked off. The weapon terminology is accurate and flawless, unlike some books by writers who have failed to inform themselves before putting pixels to screen.
While the idea that a group of disgruntled Hawaiians would unleash such devastation on the islands they supposedly love is a bit of a stretch, the action in this story builds quickly to a non-stop tempo. A fun read and well done!
Book source ~ ARC. My review is voluntary and honest.
Abel and Charlotte Yeager have finally found time to take a belated honeymoon. A Hawaiian cruise sounds like bliss, doesn’t it? Except that Hawaiian separatists and their foreign advisers have picked this exact moment to make their booming statement. Now Yeager is thrown into another fight for his and Charlie’s lives and with the help of a few good Marines he’s determined to win the day.
Wow! This is a rip-roaring ride from beginning to end. Honestly, I think the Yeager books should be made into action movies. They are that exciting. I don’t know any other way to describe this book than fan-fucking-tastic! But I’ll try.
Due to my love of books 1 & 2 I went into this book with high expectations. I can say with utmost certainty that book 3 does not disappoint. I love Yeager, Charlie, Por Que and the cast of characters they pick up along the way. Abel may be the star but the writing carries the reader along at a fast clip and the action is edge-of-your-seat making this one hell of a good read. I did have a couple of minor issues with it which did not interfere with my enjoyment of the story and one would be a kind of spoiler so I won’t mention them or it here. If you read the book (and why the hell wouldn’t you?!) then you’ll either spot them or you won’t. I also love the ending when it’s obvious that Yeager and Por Que are going on another adventure. I can’t wait!
Note: While this is book 3 in the series it can be read as a standalone. But why? Why would you do that?!
Bonus review by my husband (a Marine) who is not a writer of reviews:
I love it! It’s action-packed and fast-paced and I have no major issues with it except for one instance of the term “ex-Marine”. There are no ex-Marines. And a huge thank you to the author for capitalizing Marine. A victory for me and my fellow Marines in the world of editing. I also agree with my wife. I think all the books would make great movies.
