Hunter Mercenary #1
Atonement
Contains language, violence, sex, and killing. For mature audiences. Contains sexy men behaving very badly.
Book One in the Hunter Mercenary series by Amazon internationally bestselling author, Morgan Kelley.
His one mission in life is to catch the one who got away. Dakota Rakin eats, sleeps, and obsesses over the case that killed his partner and ruined his perfect life.
After leaving the US Marshals, he’s made it his mission to track the killer down. It’s led him to a city that never sleeps, a town so entrenched in wickedness, that he’s not shocked she’s hiding there.
New Orleans.
It’s the town that hides the woman who broke the rules, killed so many, and made him a monster inside, and he's going to make it home until he finds her.
Only, once he arrives there, some friends from his past are waiting for him, and he never saw it coming. They have a surprise for him. They’ll give him private intel that the government has, if he works with two other men to handle a couple simple cases.
Only, the men are mercenaries.
And the simple cases are anything but.
Now Dakota Rakin, Rogue Ravenscroft, and Zayn Thundercloud have one hell of a conundrum on their hands. They have no choice but to work together to get the one thing they each seek.
For Dakota, it's especially hard. He was once the law, and they are anything but, and yet, they are now trapped under one roof, working one case, and finding that things aren’t so black and white in ‘The Big Easy’.
New Orleans is full of crime, and Dakota now has to put his life, and his fate, in the hands of two men who run on the illegal side more often than not.
What could possibly happen as the team embarks on one wild ride?
Searching for Atonement, will they solve the case and get the next piece of the puzzle, or will they end up losing—and by losing, that means turning up dead?

Review
I loved this first book of the new series with Dakota and his new friends. I think it will make a really good series. I have always liked Dakota and I am so glad he has decided to settle down with Sarah. All the new people are making the start of this series really new and interesting. The plot is really exciting and blends new and old themes very well. I really hope that Morgan decides to continue this series long term because I feel it could be a big hit.

Has everything a good book should. I love Morgan Kelley's books. There is always a great mystery, lots of mayhem and a murder or three. Toss in a few laughs along the way. Yes, I would love to see these characters in a series. Love that the Blackhawk's were included in the book.

Atonement: The Hunter Mercenary Series #1
Operating in the grey zone to meet out justice. 22 old friends from a previous series meet others of a like mind to hunt criminals the legal system can't touch. Unexpectedly, they make themselves family. Appears to be a trilogy. I hope it's longer. Love the characters. Murders human trafficking, dysfunctional families, family deceit....good story! Reread, october, 2018. Still loving the characters, plot twists.
