He doesn't trust her . . . but he can't let her go it alone.
Former Delta Operative Colt Kingston knows when someone is lying. He may not know the truth, but he sure doesn't trust Tae, the mysterious woman his family rescued from an Alaskan blizzard. Behind those beautiful blue eyes, Colt can tell there is a troubled--and smart--woman.
A few of her stories prove true--they found the crashed plane and the dead body inside. Still, her tale of survival seems too incredible to believe . . . until the thugs she claims to be hunting her across Alaska show up and threaten Sky King Ranch. Now Tae must disappear, along with her secrets.
Colt will have to track her down and earn her trust before it's too late. It'll take the entire family to save the world from disaster.

Author Susan May Warren returns with an epic conclusion to the Kingston brothers saga! This newest release offers high-stakes action, a global threat and sizzling romance.

WHAT I LIKED:
The entire culmination of this story and series is fantastic! As a long-time fan of Warren’s books, I found Sundown offered heroic, skilled and multi-layered characters who are easy to love plus an exhilarating plot.
In book one, Sunrise, Warren laid the foundation for this story while building on it in book two, Sunburst. Sundown delivers a fast-paced, yet heartwarming story that is rich in drama, suspense, faith and romance! The heart-pounding action in this story begins right at the beginning and carries through to the end. Warren expertly ties the global threat of a smallpox outbreak between the states of Alaska, Washington and Florida, taking readers on a thrilling adventure through all three locations. The novel unfolds in a balanced way that kept me incredibly intrigued and invested.
Warren also brings back characters from not only book one and two of the Sky King Ranch series, but surprises her devoted readers with the return of beloved characters from her Global Search and Rescue series and a handful of her past releases. There is light banter, rich patriotism and a strong brotherhood in this story as the friends and teams work together towards the neutralization of a common enemy.
I really enjoyed the character growth that Colt Kingston undergoes. He’s always struggled with the need to never stop moving, to act before he thinks and to be the one who never shows fear. His Delta Force background empowers him, but also acts as the catalyst for some of the things that haunt him. He doesn’t believe he’s worthy of the love God freely gives and it takes the interest of a sweet, intelligent woman and his dear family to help him soften towards the gospel message. In the mix is a tender romance that blooms between him and Tae with moments of sparking chemistry.
Tae’s character blossoms as well, opening readers to a peek inside her heart and who she is at her core center - a deeply relatable woman who has always preferred to be alone and maintain a tight control over her life in order to protect her heart.
Lastly I enjoyed the abundant wisdom shared in passing conversation between characters as well as the strong message of saving faith that Warren delivers at closing as she wraps up this amazing story and series.
SUMMARY:
This is a must-read! I highly recommend reading this series in order of release to really enjoy the culmination of the series and understand the connection between the brothers and other characters. This novel can read as a standalone if a reader so desires. If you love action, adventure, faith and romance, then do not miss this story!
Sky King Ranch Book 2: Heart-pounding adventure, dramatic suspense and a new, high-stakes mission…
With everything from danger to smoldering romance, to faith-filled heartfelt moments, Warren had me holding my breath while simultaneously devouring the pages at warp speed. Warren’s dynamic, relatable characters, expertly delivered plot and creative genius shone brightly. Readers will not want to miss this story!
