Faithful

Eternal Brethren #6

by Shirleen Davies

His life is built on secrets.
Her love demands complete truth.
What will happen when duty and desire collide?

FAITHFUL, Book Six, Eternal Brethren Military Romantic Suspense Series
Dylan “Moses” Wright believes in God, his undercover SEAL team, and the belief his work is critical to protect the country he loves. Wary of a relationship with any woman, he’s surprised at his swift attraction to the new veterinarian in town—the daughter of a notorious cartel leader his team is sworn to take down.

Victoria Stanifer Quintero has faced her share of setbacks. Adopted by a prosperous leader of a vast Mexican business empire, she and her sister have been provided every opportunity. But the constant niggling at the back of her mind warns her Armando Quintero isn’t what he seems. Worse, Dylan Wright, the man she’s fallen in love with, is determined to do all he can to discover her father’s secrets and use them to destroy the man he believes is a cartel kingpin.

But Moses also is a man of many secrets. Riding with what she believes to be an outlaw motorcycle gang, she’s as unsettled about him as she is about her father and brothers. The code of silence he and the Eternal Brethren live by requires he tell her nothing about his job or the role he plays in the MC.

Tori has learned to live with the deception of her family. Allowing her heart to be captured by a man who insists on the same is no longer an option for the independent, high-spirited veterinarian.

Frustrated and vulnerable, she finds herself faced with a tough decision.

A series of threats pose a bigger risk than allowing the biker to protect her. When Moses refuses to leave her side, she must fight not only for her life, but the growing attraction to a man she knows to be dangerous to her heart.

ARC for honest review with no compensation

Faithful is book 6 in the Eternal Brethren Military Romantic Suspense series by Shirleen Davies. While each book in this series is a standalone, reading the prior books gives you more insight into the Eternal Brethren and all it stands for. Another well written story!

Up next is the story Dylan “Moses” Wright , undercover Seal, part of the Eternal Brethren and Victoria “Tori” Quintero, the town’s veterinarian. He has lots of secrets and she wants only truth...which she never had growing up. The attraction between them is explosive but has her questioning everything...can they survive the turmoil heading in their direction or will the secrets destroy them both??

So much chemistry, twists, turns, romance and suspense that keeps you turning the pages to find out what happens next...can’t wait for the next book in this series!!

I received this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is the 6th book in the series and focuses on Dylan 'Moses' and Victoria 'Tori'. Moses is a Navy SEAL working undercover with his team as a Motorcycle Club. Tori is veterinarian and one of two adopted daughters of a cartel leader.

Moses is back in Liberty Lake after being injured months previously protecting Tori, the woman he fell in love with; but feeling like he failed her, Moses pushed Tori away whilst he was in hospital by refusing to see her. Breaking Tori's heart in the process.

Tori is fighting to get her life back after facing some setbacks. Whilst her and her sister have been afforded every opportunity, learning the truth about her adoptive family and that they're leaders of a cartel cause her conflict. And now Dylan 'Moses' is back in town and determined to rekindle their relationship but she doesn't know if she can trust him with all the secrets he has and her concerns over him being part of an MC. She's learning to live with her family's deception but she's not sure she can when it comes to the man she loves. Frustrated and vulnerable, she finds herself faced with a tough decision.

When a series of threats pose a big risk to her, Moses refuses to leave her side; she must fight not only for her life, but the growing attraction to a man she knows to be dangerous to her heart.

This book is full of suspense, with that said I felt that it was lacking in some depth particularly in the dialogue between the characters. Tori and Moses get back together but don't ever really talk about why Moses pushed her away. I also found some of it very far fetched with the 'missions' that result in gunfights and death of people on home soil but there's no mention of there being any media coverage or blow back on the team at all.

I do like the characters within the story and the suspense although I wasn't surprised by the twist at the end.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This is the sixth book in Shirleen Davies’s Eternal Brethren series. It is another exciting book in her suspenseful black ops undercover motorcycle club series. This book is as fresh and as absorbing as the first book in the series.

This series is about a black ops motorcycle club that is made up of a group of SEALs. These men have been given the mission to live undercover as an outlaw group named Eternal Brethren and to clean up the corruption in their area.

Faithless is about Tori and Dylan, aka Moses. Dylan is also a member of the Eternal Brethren group. We first meet this couple in Devoted which is the previous book in this series. Their relationship begins in that book. Unfortunately, their relationship ends badly.

Ms. Davies creates complex three-dimensional characters that often make mistakes. In spite of the fact that Dylan has shown his bad side to Tori, he redeems himself with some fantastic groveling.

This is a page-turner with non-stop action and excitement from beginning to end. Ms. Davis skillfully creates a complex plot full of suspense and lots of intriguing twists and turns.

I love this entire series and every time I rad the latest addition it is my favourite it just gets stronger and stronger and this latest story was no exception it is my new favourite

This is the story of the Eternal Brethren a MC in Arizona that isn't all that it seems. Each member of the MC is actually a serving member of the military they are placed to stop both criminal and terrorist activities on this area and in the eider area. This is the story of Dylan "Moses" Wright and Victoria "Tori" Stanifer Quintero. Tori is the adopted daughter of the leader of the Quintero cartel she was raised by his family along with her sister when her parents who where close friends where killed. Julia her sister is with a member of the MC and Moses was severely injured protecting them both in an earlier story. She felt the connection but as he was recuperating in hospital he refused to see her. Moses knows that she is the woman for him but he can't seem to get over the block he has built around his heart but as danger threatens Tori he realises that she is the woman for him and will do whatever he needs to keep her safe. Who is that wants the sisters dead and why do they always seem to be a step ahead could it be that the danger is even closer than anyone suspects.

[Mary · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is full of twists and shocks, along with the steamy romance and trust issues. After guarding Tori, then having a one night stand with her, Dylan ended up beaten and in the hospital, where he refused to see Tori. Tori developed feelings for Dylan while he was guarding her, and knowing that Dylan was doing his job, didn't kill her feelings for him, it confused her. He seemed to be genuine, but she finally had to believe that it was only her wishful thinking. When he came back to town, he avoided her, not ready to face her anger and disillusion. But when Tori and her sister are again targeted, he's at her side. Both still love the other, neither wants to be the one to start a conversation and face possible rejection. The storyline gets more intense as it goes, the person targeting them is determined to finish the job. It ends with a very big shock. I love this series and all of the couples. Romance, suspense and intriguing storylines dominate.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

[Paula · Rating 5 out of 5]

For an action-packed story, Faithful, the sixth book in the Eternal Brethren by Shirleen Davies is a great choice to read. I am not really a MC fan but these undercover good guys are the exception to that rule. They play the bad guy role so well to catch the despicable bad guys that the government needs to have stopped. Dylan “Moses” Wright’s faith makes him not only a hero but one of the all-around great heroes of this series.

While this series is very different from the historical romances that I have read by Ms. Davies, it still is written in her easy-to-read, attention holding style. The characters are ones that you love, finding yourself on edge when they are in trouble and cheering when they win over the evil in this world.

4.5 Stars
The publisher/author gave me a complimentary ARC of the book which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

[Jill Eshenbaugh · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m always honored to receive an ARC in exchange for an honest review. It’s not difficult to give five stars to this fast moving story. Dylan and Tori were introduced in the previous book and although there were instant sparks, life, Dylan’s work and some unknown individual(s) conspired to keep them apart. Fast forward and the sparks are still there but now there is a real threat to Tori and her sister Julia. Who wants to hurt these two women and will the Eternal Brethren be able to protect them. Dylan will have to concentrate to not let his attraction to Tori dull his senses and keep him from letting anyone get close enough to hurt her. It’s a great story and the identity of the “bad” guys isn’t known until the very end. You can read this as a stand alone, but I recommend reading the entire series.

[Anne Morrison · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the sixth book in the Eternal Brethren series and is just as gripping as the previous five, a real page turner. The eternal Brethren are not the motor cycle gang they appear but are undercover navy seals helping to defeat organised crime, drug, gun and people smuggling. This can lead to very dangerous situations and in this book, they have to ensure the safety of Tori and Julia who were adopted and brought up by the leader of one of the Mexican cartels. As everyone tries to separate truth from lies amid escalating danger, Dylan and Nate have to protect the women they love amid increasing danger without being able to tell them what is going on and working undercover to keep them safe. A really enjoyable book that keeps you gripped with the suspense and also hoping that Dylan and Tori can get their happy ending.

[Amanda Marlowe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Moses and Tori had been getting along well previously, see Devoted, then because he's protecting her, he is very badly beaten up. Now he's pushing her away, she tried to keep seeing him in hospital, but one can only put up with rejection for so long.
She stops visiting and gets on with her life. Moses returns to the Brethren but Tori and Julia appear to be targets of another motorcycle group or it could be someone else? The attacks get worse and so the girls get protection from the Brethren, but that's not enough, so their father pays for more.
No one is sure who is targeting them but the attacks are increasing.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Another fantastic read from Shirleen.

[Pamela Mitchell · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have loved all of the Eternal Brethren books but I have to say "Faithful" blew me away with unforgettable characters and a story that completely captivated me from the beginning and included ups and downs and great twists and turns that are so intriguing and gripping I couldn't stop reading until I finished the book.

The undeniable chemistry and emotional romance between Dylan "Moses" Wright and Victoria "Tori" Stanifer Quintero was off the charts!!

Ms. Davies is a gifted author and I can hardly wait to read book seven in this thrilling series. I received an advance reader copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my review. I liked it so much, I purchased a copy for my keeper library.

[Marlene · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! I’ve just spent hours reading this wonderful but edgy book. There are parts that make me smile when lovers’ quarrel and then make-up; there’s family and friends interaction that make me want to be there; and, in the end, those guilty of actions that would kill loved ones are found and yet it made me cry. This author writes harsh reality and I’m ready for it but in the end, I have to get my Kleenex and look back inside the lives of the characters in the book. The Eternal Brethren aren’t what the public sees but every day, they save lives, follow orders and make their women happy. Thanks to the author for an early ARC that I might enjoy this excellent story-line.

[Rita · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great to pick up Dylan and Tori's story again. Dylan recovering from injury that he sustained while trying to protect her returns to Liberty Lake having pushed Tori away while he was in hospital. Tori is wary when he returns as he hurt her before. However, the chemistry between them is too hot to ignore. The trouble that bugged Tori and her sister Julia hasn't gone away and the Eternal Brethren are continuing to look out for them to keep them safe. Some twists and turns as always with this series. Read an ARC for an honest review.

[Patricia · Rating 5 out of 5]

this is a revitting story, Moses was beat up trying to protect Victoria but now he is better can he protect her from a new treat and will she let him. there is a leak somewhere but who. if you like suspense and steamy romance you will want to read the book. well written I was given a copy of the book but this is an honest review. once you start reading you will not be able to stop till the end.

[Ellen Gaul · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was fortunate to receive an arc of this book for my honest review. This is the next chapter of the Brethren MC series!!! This is Dylan and Victoria's story. This series is about a navy seal team deep undercover in southern arizona. They are the Brethren motorcycle club and they perform missions for the navy!!! This series is AWESOME!!!!! I love them and highly recommend them!!!! 5 stars!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[Sue · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an excellent book. You have plenty of action throughout the book. Moses is still recovering from the beating he took from men who took Victoria when he was at her house. Her adopted was a big cartel leader/family. When someone attacks and threatens the vic and her sister he's back to protect her along with the brethern and a new security group formed. There is also heat. I really loved this book.

[Cathy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this book I was fortunate to get an ARC which I read immediately. Tori once again needs protecting. Someone is trying to kill Tori and her sister Julia. Dylan (Moses) is back to do the job for the second time around. Dylan has recuperated and is up for the job. He knows his mistakes with Tori was his pride. They fight to mend their relationship while trying to figure out who is trying to kill Tori and her sister. The ending has a twist which I won’t spoil the shock.

[Cullen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dylan (Moses) and Tori

This is Moses and Tori's story. Moses was badly beaten while protecting Tori. He refused to see her not wanting her to see him weakened and broken. As he healed he realized he needed to see Tori and beg her forgiveness. Tori needs openness with her relationship. Which Moses will not be able to provide. As usual Ms Davies spins a complicated story very hard to put down. I can't wait for her next book.

[Bonnie Blackledge · Rating 5 out of 5]

This 6th book in the Eternal Brethren series is my favorite so far. I love the characters of Moses and Tori and I enjoyed watching them work through their conflicts. The ending was totally a surprise, but I can’t say more without adding a spoiler. I’m already looking forward to the next book in the series!

[Martimagic · Rating 5 out of 5]

Each book in this series has been phenomenal and this one is the best by far!. Just the concept of undercover agents posing as a MC could have been problematic but Shirleen Davies handles it with ease. The characters are strong commanding types with a hidden warmth band charm that holds your attention until the very end and leaves you eager for the next book.

[Shirley Linn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Faithful was a fast-paced suspenseful read with great characters. From the first page until the last I couldn't put this riveting read down. It was full of suspense and danger but, it was the wonderful characters that pulled me in and kept my attention until the end. I can't wait to read the next book in this amazing series.

[Heather Paulsen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it! I consistently say this series cannot get any better and I am consistently wrong. Moses and Tori are so fabulous. There is so much to love about Moses and Tori’s story. I fell like this story has more suspense and a plot with more twists and turns than the rest of the series. I found this highly enjoyable and could not put it down. FABULOUS addition to a fabulous series.

[Mary Jane McLeod · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great book in a great series. I'm really enjoying this series and loved Dylan and Tora's story. The book captivated me from the beginning and I couldn't put it down until I finished. I'm looking forward to more books in the series.
I received the book for free but truly loved it and voluntarily leave my review.

[Karen Riley · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was really exciting to read. I never put it down from the time that I started to read until the ending. I keep saying each book in the series is my favorite. This one is my favorite by far. There is action, drama, family and a lot of love to see in the family structure.

[Donna Scoggins · Rating 3 out of 5]

Family

Everything is not always what it seems. Dylan and Tori have close friends and family. However, they spend a lot of time trying to stay alive and figure out how to fit into each other’s lives.

Great book

[Margaret · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful romantic suspense in the Eternal Brethren Military MC series. The blurb gives a tiny preview of what to expect in the book but it’s so much better. Intrigue keeps you turning pages right up until the last page is completed. I loved all the characters and that all the ones from previous books were involved in keeping Tori and Julia safe. Ms. Davies writes so that almost all her books are 5 stars, entertaining and keep you anxious for her next book to come out. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward he reading future books by Ms. Davies.

A Fabulous Suspense Romance .
I really enjoyed reading this story . I love this entire series . This story is Suspenseful and Intriguing . Full of twists and turns . It keeps you guessing who is after Tori . Such a well written story . Tori and her sister are targeted , but they are not sure who is behind the attempts . Moses steps up to protect Tori to prove he will protect her this time . Moses was brutally attacked a year ago , when the sisters were kidnapped . Protecting Tori is not going to be so easy for Moses . One she's angry at him and hurt . Two they are not sure who's behind the attempts . I highly recommend taking the time to read this story and enjoy .

[Donna Rutledge · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book. Victoria and Dylan didn't have an easy start in their relationship. Just as things started to heat up between them Dylan was beat up and sent to the hospital for an extended amount of time. While in the hospital he refused to see Victoria "Tori". He kept her away from him until he was completely healed and then he went after his woman.

Tori had had enough of being shut out of Dylan's life so when he came back to her he had a lot of groveling to do but she gave in easily since she has always been in love with him.

Dylan belongs to an outlaw motorcycle club and as in the series this causes trouble for the pair. They have to find a way to keep Tori safe while the club finds out who wants to hurt her and make it stop.

This is a wonderful series full of action, mystery, humor, and HOT romance. Shireen Davies mixed up the sexy scenes in this book and made it a WOW.
