Sam's Folly (Midnight Sons Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 275 ratings

Sam Belgarde never wanted to be the head of his family’s search & rescue team, but when life dumps responsibilities in your lap, you either run away or step up. He stepped up. He also never wanted to be a hero, but he and his search dogs can sense danger a mile away…

So when a bigwig fight promoter needs someone to search for his missing fiancée, Sam’s more than a little reluctant. His family's company is in financial trouble, though, so if searching for a spoiled socialite will save it, then he's willing to break the rules — just this once.

After witnessing a murder, Nora Molina needs to get away fast, and her best hope to escape without her passport is Alaska. A native of Argentina, Nora's accustomed to harsh winters and high elevation, so she gets more than a little irritated when some tracker thinks she needs rescuing. Even if he is get-out sexy. And even if he's the guy she stood up before leaving town. It's going to be a long few days.

When an unexpected storm rolls in, Sam and Nora find themselves in each other's arms — to keep warm. Things get a little too hot when it's clear someone wants the two of them to stay lost — permanently.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Carmen DeSousa is an internationally bestselling author of twenty-three novels and short stories. Her paranormal romantic suspense Creatus series is a USA Today Indie Romance Bestselling Series.

Her novels share her love of the outdoors. She's hiked, kayaked, and dined across the U.S., so she can bring her stories to life. Other than locations you can feel, she concentrates on the human factor, working to bring her characters the happily ever after that seems impossible.

As most authors, Carmen blames her leap into a full-time career as a professional writer on her love of reading. She states that reading has always been an escape for her. When life was rough as a child, she could always disappear into a book. But she found something else, too... She discovered that writing out her thoughts was therapeutic. Not only could she create hope for her protagonists, but she could also do away with her antagonists—legally.

Carmen currently lives in "The Heart of Arizona" with her husband of thirty-three years and a very spoiled rescue, a cross-eyed Russian Blue, who's too cute for words.

Carmen and her husband love to experience different areas, so they move a lot. They’ve lived on both of Florida’s coasts: Cocoa Beach and Tampa Bay; Charlotte, North Carolina; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; Bullhead City, Arizona, the Northern Central Valley of California, and now Arizona’s high desert. They’re always looking for their next adventure, so they travel every chance they get. If you've read about a place in one of Carmen’s stories, she’s been there!

Both Carmen and her husband not only write, but also love to read outside—or a coffee shop if it's raining. And if the weather is really nice, they enjoy kayaking and hiking. Carmen says they rarely spend their days off at a movie theater or the mall. In fact, she hates shopping, and her husband would rather do anything than take her to a movie when she’s already read the book.

Sam's Folly is the 1st book in the Midnight Sons Series. Five brothers risking their lives to rescue those caught in the death grip of the Alaska wilderness. Each book in the series is about a different brother and the woman they lose their hearts to. These man and woman are as tough as the Land of the Midnight Sun. The first book is about Sam Belgarde, who is the oldest brother and in charge of his family's company, Search and Rescue Alaska.

Nora Molina has come to Alaska to runaway. Her best hope to escape without a passport is Alaska. Being a native of Argentina, Nora is accustomed to harsh winters and high elevation. She is determined to lose herself in the wilderness. Unfortunately, the very man whom she is running from, has hired the best tracker in all Alaska and his search dogs. Sam's reluctant to take the job, but since his family's company is in financial trouble and the money offered is substantial he takes the job. Once Sam realizes that the very man who hired him to find his fiancee, is the reason Nora is running. Sam decides that maybe he will try to keep Nora for his very own. Sam has trust issues, but nothing to the trust issues of Nora Molina. This proves to make a very interesting story.

It's not very deep but is a good read for an escape. I haven't decided whether I will buy the next book in the series, yet.

Oh my GOSH! This was so fantastic! Carmen Desousa did it again! She wrote yet another one of my most favorite books and now I need book2 in the series. Sam is an amazing and strong, yet broken MC. He’s also a true hero in that his job is saving lives of lost hikers in the Alaskan wilderness. The along comes Nora. A sassy and tough gal. Who can tie any knot in a line he asks her to. But she has a secret she isn’t sharing with anyone. She needs to disappear! It’s the reason why that pulled me in. Along with Sam’s story. I truly connected well with all the characters of the story. Even Sam’s funny and cool brothers. There’s an interesting story in that dynamic itself. I gave this book 5 stars as it is truly well deserved. BRING ON BOOK 2!!! I need more of the Belgrade brothers.

Nora is a beautiful Argentinian looking to do a solo hike up the Denali before her marriage to Sergio, her manager. Sam owns a Search and Rescue company that teaches hiking safety and rescues lost/stranded hikers. Nora catches his eye when she takes a refresher course and intrigues him enough to want to know about this gorgeous woman. So when her fiancee shows up while he's preparing for his own solo hike offering to pay him to locate Nora he readily agrees in order to help his SAR company financially as well as spend time with her. There's so much more to her story and reason for wanting to do the hike that could put them both in danger when bad weather heads their way!
I like reading about the Alaskan wilderness and like Sam and his family very much, but when he wanted to make "enchiladas" with hard shell tacos it was a no way from this Texas girl.... corn tortillas are how they're made. Nora is a tough female with a soft side, and they make a good couple with their strength of body and soul. Hopefully, she can teach him to cook better! LOL

Loved this book. First time reading this author and already preordered other books in the series.
Story line was great, characters were great. Nora Molina is in Alaska for a reason but can’t let anyone know why she’s there for. All she’s let on is she’s there to hike. That’s why she’s taking his training class, because he’s the best in search and rescue.
Later they run to each other while his family’s celebrating someone’s birthday. When they get a call for a rescue.
A little mystery and suspense. Plus so much more.
I couldn’t put it down. Now I can’t wait for the next book.

The end of this book will give you a sneak peak into Alex’s book.

The superbly written love story between Nora, a South American national on the run for her life in the wilds of Alaska and Sam, an Alaskan native who has entirely given up on ever finding love a second time.
The two meet in a survival class taught by Sam and the reader is taken on a journey that is twisty, suspenseful, action-packed and full of dangerous secrets right up to the eventful, exciting ending and very satisfying conclusion. Nora escapes to Alaska with a murderous secret into the arms of Sam who harbors dangerous secrets of his own. I
recommend highly to anyone who enjoys reading an absorbing modèrtn romance filled with both mystery and suspense.
