Doyle by Susan May Warren is the third book in the new Minnesota Kingstons series. Doyle Kingston and Tia Pepper fight for their lives on a tropical island with a hidden treasure.

What I Liked About Doyle by Susan May Warren

One of my favorite things about this series is that while there is suspense, action, and romance, the action is more low key. In some romantic suspense books, there is so much going on from multiple sources that the story tests the limits of believability. Yes, bad things are happening, but it all seems possible.

I liked Doyle and Tia. If you’ve read the previous book, Conrad, you’ll know Tia’s backstory, but readers get to discover Doyle’s black moment and how that has affected his life decisions. There is animosity at first between the two, but as bad things happen, you’ll see Doyle is a great guy.

Tia’s and Doyle’s interaction with the children in the orphanage is sweet, and the kids add levity to the story and pull on your heartstrings too.

What You’ll Like About Doyle

I say this every time I review a Susan May Warren book, but if you’ve liked her previous romantic suspense novels, you’ll like this one. She keeps readers guessing, which makes the experience more enjoyable.

The romance has some sizzle, but nothing questionable. Not everyone likes the sizzle, but if you do, you’ll find Doyle gives you just enough. It’s clean, so it will not be objectionable to most fiction readers.

If you’re a fan of Warren, you know all her stories have a faith element. Doyle is no different. If I were explaining the theme, I’d say it is trusting God no matter what happens in life.

Final Thoughts

Doyle’s and Tia’s story wraps up nicely, but there is a mystery that continues involving Stein. Stein is the last book in the series, so be prepared to not know how his mystery ends. Because of this thread, I’d recommend reading the books in order.
