Sky King Ranch, Book 1

By: Susan May Warren

Narrated by: Cynthia Farrell

Coming home was never the plan

After a terrible family fight, pilot Dodge Kingston left home to join the Air Force. A decade later, he’s headed back to the destiny that awaits him as heir to Sky King Ranch. But that’s not all that’s waiting for him at home.

Echo Yazzie is a true Alaskan woman—a homesteader, dogsledder, and research guide for the DNR. After her childhood best friend and former flame, Dodge, fled Denali, she settled into life on the Alaskan range. She’s made her peace with being left behind—by her mother and by Dodge. And she’s strong enough to live without them.

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. What she doesn’t know is that there are more than just the regular dangers of the Alaskan forests stalking her …

As Dodge sets out to find Echo, he can’t ignore the feelings he still has for her. But will he be able to find her in time? And if he does, is there still room for him in her heart?

Action, Suspense and Forgiveness

Filled with action and suspense. Trying to leave the past behind in a tangle circle.of mistrust. Finding faith is the only way back to a promised future.

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.

I always like the story

It bothered me that Peyton was gone but it seemed that the characters were always caught up with their own stuff and never getting out to find Peyton.

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.

Suspenseful Romance w/ scripture & characters who are true Believers of God! ✝️

The scripture & characters learning how to trust God again after trials & struggling. The narrator was very good too! Very natural with all the male & female voices also! 😊
