Sky King Ranch Book# 2
In this second installment Ranger Kingston heads to Nigeria with a team of fellow former Navy Seal to save a group of hostages. Among whom, are his brother Colt and Noemi Sutton, an aid worker he had met years earlier. Things do not go smoothly when a 15 year old girl is recaptured after a short escape. Determined to save everyone, Ranger along with Noemi navigate rough terrain to rescue the girl and make their escape.
My thoughts:
I have mixed feelings about this story globe-trotting romance where the only solution to make a final escape from Nigeria is to pose as husband and wife. All through the story we see two love birds refusing to acknowledge their deep love for each one that has been germinating since the first day they met years ago while on a holiday trip in Key West. They pussyfoot around and pussyfoot around all the time. I just wanted to shake both of them to go on with it.
The story moves along in flashbacks or memories then suddenly change to the present. This switch back on forth did not always register well and I seemed thrown out of kilter and needed to reread some times. I did not fully enjoy this story although we do have a lot of action to keep us interested especially when the trio were dodging bullets trying not to fall back in the hands of their pursuers.
Finally homestead, Ranger and Noemi still couldn’t evade who ever were after them and the chase continued....oh boy. Yes, like the previous novel it ends on a cliff hanger....what is next....The novel also includes a lot of Christian values and beliefs and it may not gel with everyone but again ignore this if you do not approve.
On a high note, the Nigerian culture is well said and done. The traditional wedding in Nigeria is lively and colourfully and is told with all the traditions and some pidgin to place us in middle of the excitement. I loved this part.
I received this book through the Early Reviewers Program in exchange for an honest review.
