"Sunrise", by Susan May Warren


Sky King Ranch book#1

With incredibly vivid scenes of the beautiful vistas the story brings us to Alaska in an adventure filled with romance, suspense, mystery and family drama. Alaska is not without its grizzly, wolf and snow storms to leave us shivering while we are immersed into an exciting saga that brought Dodge Kingston, a pilot, back to his family home after a decade away. His former flame Echo Yazzie, a dogsledder and guide, lives a dangerous life that can get her killed. Dodge, still has strong feelings for her. His worst fear is that she could get lost and he won’t be there to find her.....of course she goes missing in a blizzard....grizzly nearby...biting cold ....plus someone is stalking her.....

The descriptions of the landscape, the animals and the nature are breathtaking. Mr. Warren knows her Alaska and its dangerous wilderness and has penned a delightful adventure that deals with forgiveness and how our past affects us, it also dabbles somewhat into religious beliefs.

The plot moves along at a tempered pace and keeps that way throughout. I particularly love when Echo, her girlfriend and her dog sled team got lost and separated triggering an exciting search rescue. Yes, the mystery of the Jane Doe found near a crevasse what is her story and the Russian men what were they doing in Alaska?.. intrigued.... Maybe book #2 will give the answer....

This novel is a good mix of mystery and romance played by a cast of well-rounded main players supported by amazing team.

I enjoyed this book: solid story, well written and well played out. Nicely done.

I received a copy of this book through the First Reviewer Program for my thoughts: this is the way I see it.
