Bright Sword of Justice

Guardians of the North #3

by Alan Morris

With the magnificent Canadian frontier and the formation of the North-West Mounted Police as the backdrop, the GUARDIANS OF THE NORTH series from Alan Morris has found wide appeal among both men and women readers. Following in his family's excellent writing tradition, Alan has joined Gilbert and Lynn with this strong historical fiction series of his own.

In Bright Sword of Justice, the trail of a violent gang leads Hunter Stone and the Mounties to the Blackfood village where Reena O'Donnell works as a missionary. There they find a mysterious person who claims to know where the killers are. Hunter also discovers that a new missionary has arrived in the Territory who is obviously captivated by the beautiful Reena.

When the Mounties clash with the gang and capture three of the men, to Reena's horror one of the outlaws turns out to be her younger brother, Liam. Although he is truly a victim of circumstances, the evidence against him is strong, and no amount of pleading from Reena can change Hunter's commitment to carrying out justice. Will truth prevail for her brother? And to which man will Reena's affections lead?

[Shannon Roossinck · Rating 5 out of 5]

The play between justice and love in this book is so compelling. The Mounties must serve justice, yet how can that coexist with the feelings for those they care about? Forgiveness, duty, restoration, and redemption are all very dominant themes from the beginning of this book.

The sorrow, nerves, and joy I felt along with these characters was so palpable, and really made me realize how every decision we made has an effect on others.

Every single pace of love story is included. A very slow burn still simmers, all the way up to a very fast paced, heartfelt declaration of love.

Per usual, 5/5⭐️, with many tears finding themselves shed.
Someone find me a man like Hunter, Vic, or Dirk… I’m not too picky on which!

Wasn’t my favorite one, but the ending made up for it. The back cover hinted at a love triangle but in all reality there was no competition. I was relieved though. I hate love triangles lol

I liked this third book in the series best of all - there was a lot more excitement and several things were tied up in a neat bundle by the end of the book!
