Sunburst by Susan May Warren

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 review: This is the second book in the Sky King Ranch series.  It's not necessary to read the first book in the series to read this book.  It would be helpful as it will fill in some of the pieces in this book.  Ranger is one of triplets.  An incident that happened years ago sent him to enlist in the Navy and become a SEAL.  He is a committed bachelor and has previously hurt Noemi.  He discovers his brother Colt and Noemi are being held captive by a terrorist group in Nigeria.  With the help of Colts employer and associates they are able to rescue Colt and Noemi.  The only problem is that they were separated and weren't able to get out of the country.  Noemi has an uncle in Nigeria and they go to him for  help. Ranger and Noemi have to get beyond old hurts in order to trust each other and stay alive.  

This a book well worth taking the time to read.  It kept me up way past my bedtime.  I'm anxious to read the next installment in this series.

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