About the book:
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?

My review:
This was another wonderful story by Susan May Warren, one of my favorite authors! She just has a way of making characters real and the setting is described so well it brings the story to life so you feel like you're really living it with them. Both Echo and Dodge have baggage from past hurts from their families and they've both turned away from their faith and feel that they can make it on their own. There were some wonderful conversations where lies they believe are exposed and they're reminded of the truth of God's love and that He's trustworthy, no matter what they're going through. There was also some wonderful romantic moments and some action. A little bit of mystery was introduced and looks like it will be fleshed out more in the next book, along with the story of one of Dodge's brothers. It's also fun when characters show up from her other books. I highly recommend this well-written story!
I received a free copy of this book from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
