Sunrise by Susan May Warren

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.

My review:  Dodge returns home when his father is in a plane crash and can't fly which means he will loose his business.  Going back home is the last thing he wants to do.  Echo is Dodge's best friend and former girlfriend.   One fateful night ten years ago it all changes.  This is the story of Dodge and Echo's journey to find love again and forgiveness.  

I had trouble putting this book down.  There's no great mystery in this book.  But it's a great story and I recommend it to everyone. We were given a little teaser about the next book in the series.  Can't wait to read it.

I was given this book by Revell Publishing via NetGally in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
