My Review - Sunburst by Susan May Warren

5 out of 5 stars

Great Action! Great Attraction! 

SUNBURST, book two in the Sky King Ranch series starts off with a bang and keeps a high intensity pace all the way through. Though sometimes the basis of the plot gets a little lost and random facts pop up in conversation that kind of dangle unaddressed, but other than that, a great story full of chemistry. 

Ex-Navy SEAL, Ranger Kingston and Noemi Sutton have history. The kind that simmers deep inside. So, when they are thrust together in a hostage rescue situation, bottled up feelings come to the surface. Even though Range and Noemi fight back their feelings-writing them off as a relationship that will never work out-they have to keep up the façade in order to keep Noemi safe. And the more time they “pretend” the more real it becomes. 

SUNBURST is classic Susan May Warren. Dynamic characters. Tenuous situations. Packed with Adrenaline. Range is a true bachelor personified and your classic hero material while Noemi is the gutsy-I can take care of myself-kind of heroine. Noemi proves her grit over and over again, getting Range, Blessing – the orphan she would die to protect, and herself out of one desperate situation after another. Range’s feelings for Noemi grow with each hurdle they overcome, but he’s got personal issues that he doesn’t want to burden her with. Noemi sees Range holding back and assumes he is once again choosing his career over a relationship with her, but it does nothing to temper her feelings for him.

Great second book! Although at times, I found myself wondering how many more near impossible situations will they get themselves out of. I enjoyed the quick peek into what I can assume will be the plot for the next book with Tae and Colt, and I loved the cameo appearances by Dodge, Echo, and the patriarch of the Kingston family. 

I received a promotional copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
