Benjamin "Blade" LeBlanc left home to join the Army, hoping to help his mother, and possibly, return for his sweetheart. Unfortunately, his plans didn't go as expected when his sweetheart had other needs. With nothing to return for, Ben left to serve his country and now served with his brothers of the Steel Patriots MC. When Suzette Doiron walks through the door, his worst memories are brought to life again. She wasn't his lost sweetheart; it was worse than that. Suzie Q was his ex-girlfriends sister and she was all grown up. Suzette was nothing like Samantha, and the proof of that was her being here asking for the Steel Patriots help. That, and the fact that she was nothing short of stunning. Can Blade recognize that she isn't responsible for her sister's actions? Will he look beyond that and see what's right in front of him?
Suzette Doiron is an FBI Special Agent. She's worked hard to get where she is, but when her niece dies of a strange childhood cancer and then her sister and brother-in-law are killed, she knows that she can't do this alone. The problem for Suzette is, she doesn't know who to trust anymore. The only person she can think of, is the man who has plagued her dreams for fifteen years...her sister's ex-boyfriend. Benjamin "Blade" LeBlanc. His dark hair and eyes, that chiseled body and his attitude spark flames in Suzette. The problem is, he looks at her and sees her sister. Somehow Suzette has to get him to see her...and then to see that she needs his help.
New adventures, new teammates, and excitement await the men and women of Steel Patriots...join us!

This one didn't start out the best, Blade couldn't see past the past and what happened there to see that the person in front of him was from his past, but not the person that wronged him. It was kinda fun to see everyone give him grief for how he acted. It was nice that Blade soon saw the error of his way and made amends.
The other interesting thing that happened at the start was the addition to the 4 new guys. This was interesting to see them arrive and how things started. Noah sure thought things weren't off to a good start, so it was great to see him be surprised after he answered the questions. There was no doubt in my mind after hearing what he had to say.
Blade helping Suzette was interesting. It brought him home while helping an awful situation. The more we found out there, the more I wanted people's heads on a pike. I'm glad the group got to the bottom of things and how they were able to play the bad guys, but it didn't come without a cost. That was so sad to see.
I'm intrigued to see what happens next, because it seems like there are a few loose ends and Noah is a fun one.

Benjamin "Blade" LeBlanc left behind the oil rigs near the bayous on the Gulf to join the Army, leaving behind his widowed mother Clair. Fast forward to his current role with the Steel Patriots MC in the foothills of Virginia where the team dedicates it’s time to saving the oppressed.
Enter a face from the past, FBI agent Suzette Doiron, asking for the SPMC’s help in shutting down Lexron, a Chinese-owned chemical company on Bayou Teche, suspected of endangering the lives of all who live there.
Ms. Kennedy weaves a believable and action filled story with all the elements of a solid romance, introducing new team members to the Steel Patriots and some heartbreaking losses. I’ve read all of her books, including her Reapers and My SEAL Boys series.
Her books suffer from the perils of many indie authors, punctuation errors and one repeated spelling error that cannot be forgiven a Southern write. It’s y’all, folks, always y’all. Never ever ya’ll.
I’ve just downloaded her latest in the SPMC series, Noah, and plan to read it today. I’ll continue to read her great stories with the hope that she gets assistance with uploading her works, better formatting and begins to give attributions in her works. I wish her great and continued success.

Great!
I chose this rating because this was actually a really good book. I enjoy most all of the characters. This was a book of determination, protection, manipulation, threats, and Doing the right thing. I enjoy Blade and Suzette story, They fell in love with each other when they were kids I believe. But one of them didn't wanna act on the situation. Because of circumstances that they were in at the time. Great read! I recommend this book to all romance readers and MC lovers.

Love never grows old
Ben and Side The destined to be together under the worse circumstances. Side the loved him since a teenager, danger finally brings them together for ever.Steel Patriots grabbed my attention from Ghost book. Heroes who protect those who can't protect themself. The unexpected in this book was Axe dying and Noah. Axe dying heartbreaking, reading about the children also heartbreaking.
This series is not only about strong men but the women in their lives equally strong. Now unto Noah's book.

A Real Page Turner
This was beautifully written by the author. I've loved this series. I think each book has gotten better. I've noticed that this book didn't seem to have all the bedroom sexual content like some of the others. It seemed to be more page turning for the crime set rather than for lovers. It made more a good story. I've loved each of the stories and wish there were more. I will definitely be checking up on this authors works. Thank you.

Blade and Suzette
Wow I always knew that the Chinese were greedy and sick individuals, but this was absolutely horrid in what happened to these innocent children. Very glad that Blade found the right sister for his hea. Good job with these new Steel Patriots and some of the regular players in shutting down these greedy monsters. Happy reading.

Blade
Blade was the last of steel patriots original group awesome series . I look forwards to Noah's book .He is a new hire . Blade's past comes calling and he has to rescue his high school girl friends sister from the men who killed his cheating girl friend and her family. Except she she is FBI and used to doing the saving. Sparks fly both in and out of bed .

Lover Blade
Suzette and Blade had known one another as teenagers, however Blade was in lust with Suzette's older sister and didn't really pay attention to Suzette. When she came looking for him to help her solve a problem, the sparks were all there. So many things happen with so many people involved, please read this story. It's great!

Sad(spoiler)
I love this series, but I don’t do well when the good guys die. In my perfect love stories the good guys always come home. He is the second one in the series that one of the good guys died. Other than that excellent story as always.

I'm really enjoying this series, even the jumping from character to character. Blade and Suzie Q were fun to read and I loved meeting the newest members of the Steel Patriots.
