Wow! Sunrise has so many of the things that make Susan May Warren’s books some of my favorites. The majestic and wild setting was described beautifully, making me feel as if I was there. Events from the past caused family members to be separated from each other and provided tension between Dodge and his father. There was also a ten year separation for the two main characters, Dodge and Echo, which created great romantic tension and chemistry! I loved learning about them in the past, the way they had been friends and then more, before everything shattered.
I really felt for both Dodge and Echo. Echo broke Dodge’s heart ten years earlier, right after high school. She has regretted what happened every day of those ten years and has hoped Dodge would return and be able to forgive her. But when Dodge returns in the beginning of this book, he is carrying around a lot of anger and not looking to forgive anyone. However, circumstances ended up throwing these two together and opening Dodge’s eyes up to the fact that he never stopped loving Echo.
There is so much adventure and romance to this story. It is exactly what I was hoping for in this new series and I am so excited that it is only the beginning of the series. I’m really looking forward to reading the future books and getting to know the other Kingston triplets.

ABOUT THE BOOK
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?
