Description:
When former Navy SEAL and lifelong bachelor Ranger Kingston is called upon to take part in a rescue
mission to save his brother Colt, who has been kidnapped by terrorists in Nigeria, he is shocked to
find among the hostages a woman he knows and could never forget.
Noemi Sutton was attempting to return a young girl to her family in Boko Haram territory when she and the girl found themselves taken hostage, along with several others.
And while Ranger Kingston may be able to get the hostages away from their captors, he'll need Noemi's help if he ever hopes to get out of Nigeria alive.
Her solution? Pose as husband and wife. But when her uncle discovers the union, he insists on a traditional Nigerian wedding--binding Noemi to a man destined to break her heart. Worse, she's discovered the real reason she was kidnapped, and anyone around her is bound to be caught in the cross fire. Including her so-called new husband.
She'll need to figure out a way to leave the man she loves if she wants to save his life.

My Thoughts:
I used to be a huge fan of Susan May Warren's novels, but then I took a break a few years ago and just
didn't pick the new ones up. If all of the others are this good, man, I've been missing out! And I have
a lot to look forward to finding!
I realized this was the second book in a series after I got it, but thankfully, my library app had the first.
I'd say you probably could read them out of order, but they are definitely written to be a series,
including a cliffhanger that now has me anxious for Colt's story! (side note: the chapter with the
cliffhanger is titled “what comes next” - so if you don’t want to be left wondering too much, just stop
reading at the end of the epilogue)
The first book is entirely set in Alaska, so I admit, I was very confused and curious as to how they
were going to get from Nigeria to Alaska in this one. Or how they would bring Alaska to Nigeria.
But that aside, I loved this adventure to Nigeria! I adored Noemi, Ranger, and Blessing! I so
enjoyed the vibrant descriptions and details, bringing a unique culture to life. It's apparent
(also from the back cover, you know) that Ranger and Noemi have a past. I really enjoyed how
the author wove glimpses of their past into the present.
If you’ve read any of Mrs. Warren’s prior suspense novels, please note that this one is marketed
as a contemporary romance. So there is suspense, yes. But if you’re going into it expecting a
“hanging on the edge of your seat” kind of story, I don’t know that you’ll find it here. I personally
greatly enjoyed the story as a whole. I enjoyed the suspense, but I also just love a great romance,
and that’s a lot of what you’ll find within these pages.
Overall, I loved this book, as well as the first one, and can’t wait for the final Sky King Ranch novel!
