Thank you for reading my bio and my books! I live and work in Dallas, TX. I'm the mother of two amazing daughters and two fantastic, intelligent grandsons, with one more on the way, and a wonderful son-in-law. I love to cook, travel, and write, but I'm also an avid reader. Being from a military family, my books often center around strong, military men but I also LOVE strong, independent, intelligent women. Visit my webpage at insatiableink.squarespace.com and leave your comments or ideas for future books. Enjoy!
This 3rd gen series is interesting, I'm ok remembering who the parents are, but having a hard time with the grandparents. It doesn't help that there is a lot of inter-marrying between the families.
The romance between Gator and Dylan was good, about what you expected. I liked that Dylan let everyone know about her issues right away and how Gator didn't let that stop him from pursing and claiming Dylan.
I found myself more interested in how Mama Irene is now this all powerful person, not really hiding things. That seems off and not true to how she has been in the past. I was also more interested in what was going on with Sadie, which was crazy!
The author rebranded RP to VG and she has not disappoint this reader. Dylan and Ian story brought back old enemies still trying to take down RP but the new generation are taking them down. Ian and Dylan like all others fell in love fast with an already made family with Joey Dylan's son. The adventures are awesome and the author always leaves us with what next. Ham and Sadie story already as me wishing for it now.
Wow this story tugs at heartstrings just like many if Mary Kennedy’s stories. Dylan knew she would be safe within the special walls of Belle Fleur but wasn’t prepared for losing the love of her life if only temporarily. Gator literally runs into sweet Dylan and finds the magic of the Bayou gets a hold of him too.
I chose this rating because this is actually a pretty great book. I really Enjoy pretty much all of the characters. This was a book of compassion, kindness, inspiration, trust, confidence, believing in yourself, and overcoming something that you believed was true. I really enjoyed Gator and Dylan story. I think the author did a great job with putting these two characters together. I think Dylan did the right thing leaving the house she grew up in, it was so toxic. Great read! I recommend this book to all romance readers.
I never lost faith! I didn't know how Ms Kennedy was going to tie in the whole village (we're talking hundreds here folks😃) with retiring the old vanguard and settling in the next generation, but starting the underlings on the path! I am amazed! That just lets me know how talented writer she is!
I loved this series since Erin and nine and to be reading his grandson my love hasn’t died of anything i love the books even more!!! I can’t wait for the next one i have a feeling it’s gonna be a bit darker and more intense
Ian and Dylan fell hard and fast but neither of them let outside influences dictate their lives. The danger to Dylan was the catalyst that decided Ian she was his HEA. But the Reapers and Guardians backed them to victory.
I really enjoyed this book it was easy to and easy connections to the story I would read more from this author it would a good story sad very sad in parts but the was great

He literally runs into his future when home for a wedding. She spills food all over him and he is mesmerized. She has a big problem, and that big problem is one the teams know about. The happy ending they want will be a while but they will make it, tith the help of the original team and the second generation of leadership.
