THE SKY KING RANCH SERIES

Meet the boys of Sky King Ranch! The Kingston brothers are back in town, and you can read their stories in the Sky King Ranch series books Sunrise, Sunburst, and Sundown by USA Today bestselling author Susan May Warren.

      

Sunrise: Pilot Dodge Kingston has always been the heir to Sky King Ranch. But after a terrible family fight, he left to become a pararescue jumper. A decade later, he’s headed home to the destiny that awaits him.

Sunburst: When former Navy Seal and lifelong bachelor Ranger Kingston is called upon to take part in a rescue mission to save his brother Colt, who has been kidnapped by terrorists in Nigeria, he is shocked to find among the hostages a woman he knows and could never forget.

Sundown: Former Delta Operative Colt Kingston may not know the truth, but he sure doesn’t trust Tae, the woman who is caring for his ailing father at Sky King Ranch. Behind those beautiful blue eyes, he can tell there is a troubled–and smart–woman.


PRAISE FOR THE SERIES:

"Warren proves yet again why she is a master in the genre."--Booklist, starred review on Sunrise

"International intrigue and adventure paired with a simmering romance equals one fast-moving story you won't be able to put down!"--Lisa Harris, bestselling author of the Nikki Boyd Files series, on Sunburst



Sunrise by Susan May Warren is the first book in her Sky King Ranch series.  It follows Dodge Kingston and Echo Yazzie 10 years after a heartbreaking fallout that left them both hurt.  Dodge has to return to the ranch after his father is in a plane accident and can no longer help the community with supply runs and rescues.  As much as he doesn’t want to, Dodge knows that if he doesn’t take over then they will lose the ranch and all the consequences that follow are too much for his family. Echo is surprised to find out Dodge is back in Alaska and when she sees him again those old feelings start to creep back up.  


Warren brings the Alaskan frontier and the harshness of its dangerous habitat to life in Sunrise. I’ve never been, but she has such a beautiful writing style that you feel immersed in the story as if you are living through it with Dodge, Echo and everyone else.  I love the dual POV.  You get to see both perspectives and Warren does a great job putting the reader in the head of the main characters which makes them more three-dimensional.  You feel their frustration, pain, heartbreak, and every other emotion as if you are feeling it too.  Dodge and Echo have not only the issues between each other, but also with their families. I like how their relationship developed slowly and it wasn’t rushed, which made the romance seem more realistic.  The drama along with the danger really keeps you wondering what happens next! Warren does a wonderful job building the backstory of both of these characters that makes you really root for their well deserved happy ending.

 

This book has it all, a beautiful but dangerous setting, action, suspense and a heartwarming romance.  Overall, Sunrise is a Christian romantic suspense novel with the underlying themes of forgiveness and hope for the future.  This is the kind of book you savor one chapter at a time. There is lots to love in this book, and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
