Publisher's summary

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.

That's not all that's waiting for Dodge. His childhood best friend and former flame, Echo Yazzie, is a true Alaskan - a homesteader, dogsledder, and research guide for the DNR. Most of all, she's living a life Dodge knows could get her killed. One of these days she's going to get lost in the woods again, and his worst fear is that he won't be there to find her.

When one of Echo's fellow researchers goes missing, Echo sets out to find her, despite a blizzard, a rogue grizzly haunting the woods, and the biting cold. Plus, there's more than just the regular dangers of the Alaskan forests stalking her....

Will Dodge be able to find her in time? And if he does, is there still room for him in her heart?

Sunrise is the first explosive volume in a new nail-biting series from USA Today best-selling author Susan May Warren.

Mixed Feelings

I think it’s a great storyline (as are most all of her books) but the performance was very disappointing. Several mispronunciations of key words. The male voices sounded the same, so it was a bit difficult to follow and I had to rewind several times to make sure I was following along correctly. Voice emphasis and fluctuations were very poor and made it hard to listen to (because it was apparent that the statement(s) were not written or intended in the manner that they were being said.
I’d like to finish the series, but am wary of the voice.

Ends with a cliffhanger

Like most listeners, I don’t like cliffhangers.
Also, the book started out really slow. I was getting ready to stop and return it. I’m so glad I didn’t.
From chapter four on, I hated hitting the pause button.
This book grabbed me. Now I have to hope that book two is available.
Cynthia Farrell did a fantastic job with the narration.

Worth the credit

She never disappoints! Wonderful story and narration. Suspense throughout. Can’t wait for the next one.

Loved

Another great book by Susan May Warren. I love these characters in this book and series. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. I would recommend this book and all of Susan’s books. I listened to this book on audiobook.

Wonderful!

If I could have given more than five stars, I would have! All the way from the storyline to the performance, I didn’t want the book to end. The only negative is that the sequel won’t be releasing until June!

Great story line and characters

Anything written by Susie Mae Warren's is worth reading, but this is one of her best.

Narrator

I liked the story, but Ididn't enjoy the narrator in the audible version.
I couldn't figure out WHAT was going on in the last few minutes of the book - was anyone else able to figure it out?

OM GOODNESS!!

Love the way Susan May Warren tells a story!! This new series is AMAZING! Tying in new and old character references throughout was just genius. The narrator, Cynthia Farrell, is very talented and worked on numerous books by Ms. Warren with technical finesse. I totally recommend this phenomenal team effort!! I just have to wait until June 2022 for the next book. 😳

Another great series begins …

This first book in Sky King Ranch series doesn’t disappoint. As always, Susan May Warren blends faith, hope and redemption into the story with characters who are flawed and so relatable.

Can’t wait for the story to continue!

Loved the story and characters and especially the faith aspect. Can’t wait for the next chapter in the Kingston brothers story!
