Sunburst (#02 in Sky King Ranch Series)

Former Navy SEAL Ranger Kingston takes part in a special op to rescue his brother Colt, who has been taken by terrorists in Nigeria. However, he wasn't expecting to find that another of the captives was Noemi Sutton, the Nigerian/American girl he loved and left in Key West several years beforehand. \\n\\nI really enjoyed this second book in the Sky King Ranch series. Noemi and Ranger are great characters, and there are lots of moments of life-and-death suspense, with some interesting twists. Intrigue follows them not just through Nigeria, but back at Ranger's home in Alaska. Can't say much due to spoilers, but there's a nice set-up for the next book which I really want to read. You could read this book by itself, as it has it's own story arc, but it would mean more if you've already read Book 1. I liked Book 1, but I actually like this one better. \\n\\nIn amongst the action, there are also quieter moments when both main characters have to grapple with their past, their real feelings and whether it's better to run or stay. Faith issues are sensitively dealt with too, as Noemi starts out feeling God doesn't notice her and then comes to realise that maybe He does. \\n\\nIf you like romantic suspense with some deeper issues of faith thrown in, add this one to your list.
