Iris by Susan May Warren [Review]
The Minnesota Marshalls series by Susan May Warren is gearing up for an explosive finale, but first up is Iris' long awaited story!
Title: Iris [The Minnesota Marshalls #4]
Author: Susan May Warren
Published: 2023 by SDG Publishing
"Iris Marshall never wanted to be anything more than what she is—an official for the European League of (American) Football. So, why she said yes to being a courier for the CIA? She’s not sure, especially when it lands her in an international thriller that has her on the run from a killer. And worse, the person she’s on the run with? Arrogant, bossy, playboy Hudson Bly football player and the last person on earth she wants to go into hiding with.
Hudson knows his days as a wide-receiver are numbered. Too many head injuries, starting with a violent TBI in college have caught up with him. So yes, he agreed to be a patriot, do his bit for the USA and courier a message between agents. He never expected for that simple act to ignite an international man-hunt for the official who wrecked his life, Iris Marshall. But what’s a guy to do—let her get killed? But spending time with Iris has ignited a desire in him that takes him by surprise, and for Iris, maybe Hudson is more than she thought.
But who is after Iris? When one of her fellow officials is murdered, maybe the killer is after more than just her—maybe she’s found herself in the middle of an international plot to take down a country.
It’ll take the help of the entire family to keep Iris safe…but at what cost when they have to choose between their careers…and their country?"
The Artist Librarian Review:
I've been waiting for Iris Marshall's story ever since I first read about her in the last book featuring her brother Ned, and Susan May Warren did no disappoint! Not to be overshadowed by her many heroic brothers, the only daughter of the Marshall family has worked hard to build herself a career in the European League of American Football. However, when she decided to do her "patriotic duty" assisting who she thought was the CIA, Iris found herself on the run with who she initially thought was a most exasperating man, football player Hudson Bly.

Perhaps because I followed these characters since they were present in book three, I felt more invested in their journey than I did with Ned's. I thought Warren did an excellent job describing the football scenes, making them dynamic and full of action. I also enjoyed seeing more backstory to Iris and Hudson's lives before we were introduced to them in Europe. I also felt that the spiritual threads were more natural and integrated compared to the last novel I read from Warren. As with previous books in the series, set up for the next title takes place in the secondary plot, this one with the rest of the Marshalls back in Minnesota: primarily Garrett and Jenny with their sons Creed and Fraser, along with Princess Imani and her bodyguard Pippa. As all the plots converge, I eagerly await the finale to The Minnesota Marshalls series later this year!
