Review: Sunburst (Sky King Ranch #2) by Susan May Warren

About the Book

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.

Noemi Sutton was attempting to return a young girl to her family in Boko Haram territory when she and the girl found themselves taken hostage, along with several others.

And while Ranger Kingston may be able to get the hostages away from their captors, he'll need Noemi's help if he ever hopes to get out of Nigeria alive.

Her solution? Pose as husband and wife. But when her uncle discovers the union, he insists on a traditional Nigerian wedding--binding Noemi to a man destined to break her heart. Worse, she's discovered the real reason she was kidnapped, and anyone around her is bound to be caught in the cross fire. Including her so-called new husband.

She'll need to figure out a way to leave the man she loves if she wants to save his life.

USA Today bestselling author Susan May Warren throws you into the thick of the action in this high-stakes, globe-trotting romance.

MY THOUGHTS

I absolutely loved this book! It's the second book in Susan May Warren's thrilling Sky King Ranch series and I'd definitely recommend reading the first one before diving into this one. This has a very different feel than the first book, especially the first half, but it was just as good. In fact, I think I actually liked this one even better, which is saying a lot because I adored Sunrise.

There were quite a few intense and adrenaline-fueled moments that had my heart racing. There was never a dull moment, that's for sure. But I also appreciated the fact that there were some much needed spots where I could catch my breath. I thought it was very well balanced.

Noemi was awesome. She was such a fierce heroine with a ton of spunk and determination. And Ranger? Where do I even begin? He's such a good and honorable guy. Saying he's swoonworthy doesn't do him justice. These two were just so perfect for each other.

A lot of this book takes place in Nigeria, which was so fascinating. I really enjoyed learning more about the culture and meeting some of Noemi's family.

I can't even tell you how eager I am for the next book. That ending? Oh my! I need it ASAP!

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
