Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Axel Mulligan was built to be a Coast Guard rescue swimmer. He swam fast and endured long, a miracle for those in peril--until a tragedy sent him home to Alaska. Now, three years later, he's not going to let the past repeat itself. As an Air One rescue swimmer, he'll do anything to save lives--including sacrifice his own.

He expects to do just that while trying to rescue a group of tourists from the icy waters of the Gulf of Alaska. But if not for the voice on the other end of the ham radio, he might have given up and let hypothermia win. That voice awakened something in his heart, and he sets out to find the woman it belongs to.

Flynn Turnquist is not who Axel thinks she is. A national wildlife researcher, she's deep in the bush, tracking wolf pack patterns. Or is she? In fact, she's a former cop, tracking down a serial killer in the Alaska bush. When Axel finds Flynn and discovers what she's really up to, it stirs up a terrible nightmare he's been dodging for years--the kidnapping and death of his own cousin. Now, it's a race through Alaska to stay alive.


My Review:
One Last Chance is a Christian romantic suspense. It's the 2th in the series, but you can understand this story without having read the previous one. Axel feels guilty that he wasn't able to rescue his cousin when they were teens and feels burdened by every failed rescue since then. Flynn's still looking for her twin sister, who may have been a victim of a serial killer, but her body was never found. They worked together to try to solve who the serial killer is, find Flynn's sister, and rescuing people along the way.

The main characters were engaging and came across as real people. I cared about what happened to them. Flynn and Axel supported each other and built each other up. There was plenty of suspense from the physical dangers of search and rescue, the environment, and the attacks of a killer.

Axel had to realize that he's not God and can't save everyone. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable suspense.
