LEO: Voodoo Guardians: Book Thirty-Seven

by Mary Kennedy

Leo Tilbury has been alone a long time. Intentionally. Joining Voodoo Guardians changes his perspective on life and love. Conversations with Mama Irene, Matthew, and others start to work their way into his brain and give him thoughts of love. It really changes the day he meets Tillie Sung. She's brave, beautiful, and captures his attention in ways that no one else has. When they hear that she and her volunteer team have been kidnapped in Botswana, Leo is the first to volunteer to go. But then again, there are no shortages of volunteers at Belle Fleur.

Tillie Sung has never reacted to a man the way she reacted to meeting Leo for the first time. Tall, handsome, a bit on the shy side, there's just something about him that sends her heart racing. Already thinking of coming home for good after this job, now she has one more thing in favor of that decision. But her new teammates are a bit strange and when their truck is hijacked and they're taken, Tillie knows she has to call on every resource at her fingertips. Unfortunately for her kidnappers, that includes the men of Voodoo Guardians.

Great!

I chose this rating because this was a really good book. This was a book of protection, compassion, kindness, awareness, and doing the right thing. I enjoyed Leo and Tillie's story. The author did an amazing job putting these characters together. I loved the way the guardians are there for each other at the drop of a hat. This was a story that started and ended with love. Great read! I recommend this book to all romance reader.

Brilliant

Mary Kennedy always gives her readers a story that has some truth relating to today's world. Stolen antiques, history of family.
With Tellie and Leo's story we get their love story and a story about a woman's delusions she was done wrong. Brilliantly written and VG wins again. Can't wait for Victoria's story.

This one was just ok for me. Part of it was the romance part was fast, they meet once, like each other, meet again, then it's a done deal. It's a bit odd as Leo is a new addition to the crew. The other part with those that were with Tillie and what is going on was meh... especially with the women. I did sort of feel sorry for Lenora, but also not really.
