PIERRE: Voodoo Guardians: Book Forty

by Mary Kennedy

Pierre Robicheaux never dreamed he'd have to go back to the place of his childhood nightmares. Adopted by Frank and Lane Robicheaux, he's lived a life he never dreamed possible. Now, a Ranger like all the Robicheaux men before him, he's back in the hellhole of his childhood. Someone is stealing children, and all roads are forcing him to search churches. All he really wants to do is get back home to the woman he finally professed his love to. Like all love affairs at Belle Fleur, magic brings them together.

Ambry MacDonald, the daughter of Ham and Sadie MacDonald, is now a nurse aboard a hospital mercy ship. Home for Wyatt and Ulani's wedding, the only man she's ever dreamed of finally makes his move. But their time together is far too short, both returning to service. When all hell breaks out in the Haitian city, she never expected to see her hero over her shoulder, helping the injured. Together they have to solve the mystery of the missing children and hopefully return home to a life of their own.

Reviews

[J.J. Dayton]

This book is a great read as are all of Mary Kennedy's books. It's suspenseful and full of love and good works that balance the bad and truly awful things. I like how she incorporates contemporary themes that most of us hear little about but are happening around the world. Her imaginative use of technology is fun to see what she'll come up with next. HEA of course and people who find each other and care for each other always make for a good read. Highly recommend.

Great!


I chose this rating because this was a pretty good book. I enjoyed pretty much all of the characters. This was a book of understanding, protection, compassion, kindness, and being a good person. I believe the author did a wonderful job putting these two characters together. I enjoyed Pierre and Ambry story. The author did an amazing job with these characters. I love the way the guys are always there for each other. Pretty great read. I recommend this book to all romance readers.

WINNNER

Great addition to a wonderful series. Really lovable characters, excellent plot angle this series just keeps getting better and better. The only dilemma is how soon the next on will be available.

Quite a wild ride as a new generation of Robicheaux Rangers is assigned to Haiti. This one's different but the same problems arise. Ambry MacDonald, triplet daughter of Ham and Sadie, is a nurse on a hospital ship. She proves that her instincts are as good as any VG operative.

Another great read

Mary Kennedy always delivers a quick, powerful narrative. Though the series is exceptionally long, each book offers new, fresh ideas mingled with all of the characters we have grown to love!

💯💚💚💚💚

Pierre and Ambry story once again brings an issue that is real life giving us the reader on what life is like on Hati but also how people take advantage. Love love lovw

[Darcy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one feels very full circle with Pierre being back in Haiti and there seem to be some of the same issues. It's nice that they were able to call in help from home and figure out what was going on and stop it.

The romance between Pierre and Ambry was cute. Loved that they were on the same page and realized that the timing of them getting together now was good. It helps that they had the history they did. Once that decision was made, it was full steam ahead, they were all in.
