Sacred Bond Guardians #3
A Bond of Vengeance
Disabled veteran and former cop Jake Delno just wants to escape West Virginia, return to his hometown of Chicago, and try to put his life back together. He’ll do it as soon as he convinces his fallen comrade’s sister to put aside her quest for vengeance and find a safer place to live and work.
Kendra Kennedy has no time for a handsome bad boy’s recommendations about how she should live her life; she’s too busy trying to figure out who killed her co-worker and keep local kids safe from the outlaw bikers who dominate the region.
But as the threats against Kendra and her family escalate, Jake realizes he can’t leave this beautiful, prickly woman to fight alone. As they work together to find justice despite the corrupt local police force, both must come to terms with inner demons that rival the very real forces of evil threatening their lives. With God’s help, can justice . . . and love . . . prevail?

Wow, wow, wow! Suspense/love story: great character development and interaction. Vengeance is on Kendra's mind and heart. Never mind that she is a Christian, she believes she is doing the right things. Jake has arrived to protect her as he had been her brothers buddy in Afghanistan. He has PTSD and is mixed up himself. Put these 2 together and you have fireworks of huge proportions. I absolutely loved this third in the Sacred Bond Guardians series. It was one of those I just didn't want to put down or have it end. Highly recommend. I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Unique
This third book in the series takes on the subject of a motorcycle gang having control of an area. It was refreshing to read a story that was nothing like others I have read. She deals well with how baggage from our past can affect our current and future lives if we let it but that if we give our baggage to Jesus it can make all the difference. I already have lined up book 4 to read next. The stories build a little on each other but can be read well as a stand alone.

Wow! Jake's story is a one of pain, redemption, and healing. Kendra's is one of pain, revenge, heartache. When the two collide, hang on for a wild romantic suspense novel that will keep you up late turning pages. Wild, rugged West Virginia mountains, a biker gang, complacent law enforcement and the quest for justice all mix for intense suspense.

This third installment of the Sacred Bond Guardians does not disappoint! Another wonderful page turner by Lee Tobin McClain that I could not put down!! If you love to read about suspense, romance, and growth this is the book for you!
We learn about Kendra slowly throughout the book. She is not interested in love, and does not trust former flirt Jake Delno. Jake was sent to watch over Kendra by her late brother. Jake has accepted Christ in his life, but Kendra is still hesitant to let him close. She has some secrets she's hiding about her past that may come back to haunt her.
Jake has problems of his own. A war vet suffering from PTSD. Heck early has feelings for Kendra and prays constantly for God to keep him in line. It gets harder for him the more they are around each other. It also gets difficult for Kendra to keep her feelings for Jane in check. She has more pressing things on her mind like breaking up the families of the local bike gang, using her position as a social worker to her advantage. But when the gang targets her as their next victim, has she taken it too far? And will make be able to protect her?
A must read with twist and turns also be the way. If you enjoy excitement, this book will not let you down!!

This is the third book in the Sacred Bond Guardians Series, and although it can be read as a standalone I can assure you that after you read it you will want to read the first two. This has been one of the best Christian Suspense and Romance series that I have read and Lee is one of my favorite authors. This one tells the story of Jake, an ex-serviceman and former cop who is trying to get his life back together and travels to West Virginia to watch over his fallen comrade's sister, a social worker who is being threatened by the Demons, a motorcycle gang, and this one is another one from this author that was impossible to put down. I was given a copy of this one in return for an honest review, and I can definitely say this is another one that I definitely recommend.

The third book in the Sacred Bond Guardians Series can be read as a standalone, but you will want to read the first two. This is a Christian suspense/romance series done by a great author. Can Jake, an ex-serviceman and former cop who is trying to get his life back together protect his fallen comrade's sister, Kendra, who is a social worker being threatened by the Demons, a motorcycle gang? The author writes of the dangers of meth and other drugs, alcohol, and vengeance. I was given a copy for an honest review, and I can definitely recommend this book and this author..

I love good clean series!
I am excited about this Christian author. Not too much but enough to feel good about. Also does a good job at building her characters. Her romance gets to grow, instead of a two day love. Thanks for the good read!!
