Grant Zimmerman wanted nothing more than to become a Navy SEAL, but when that dream died along with is hearing, he found a new way to support his friends. In his first attempt to be part of the team, he finds himself with a nearly severed hand, miraculously reattached by surgeons. Losing hope, he finds his strength when Everly Johnson walked in the door, he knew she belong to him. Tall, mocha skin, slender neck and a rear end that would make a man melt, he just needs to find his words.

Everly "Evie" Johnson is a retired military pilot. Unique in her abilities to fly both jets and choppers, she's going to become an integral part of the growing SPMC family. What they don't know is that she's running from something in her past and it's about to catch up to her in a big way. Evie doesn't expect to find the strikingly handsome, Grant. She definitely doesn't expect to fall in love with him. Can they find a way to end the demons from her past and help them both heal? Time. Time is all they need.

Grant and Evie

Another great story but made me really sad for what Evie endured as a teenager and so many other young lives damaged because of one truly evil and disgusting woman, but very glad that she got hers in the end. Grant is a true and awesome hero for saving Claire in the previous book and an awesome man friend and patient lover for Evie. I really do hope and pray one day that people will stop seeing the color of a persons skin and except each other for our amazing kindness and good hearts. I was really glad that Geordy did realize that Evie was a true friend to him when they were younger and that she is getting him the help he deserves. The mother and daughter got what they both deserved as well and there again Ms Kennedy used her very creative imagination in this story like all of the other ones. Happy reading.

Grant & Evie

I enjoyed Grant and Evie together, and the taking down of the bad guys. However, this one in particular had a few too many plot holes in it for me. Spoilers below.










Supposedly the first detective on the case was not corrupted, how did he not find this guy that was living in town still doing the same things to over girls.
If there was a arrest warrant out on this guy, when he showed up for his yearly payments why didn’t Evie or her parents hold a sting to capture him?
What about the other men in the video? Why didn’t the cops go after them?
How come Evie’s lawyers didn’t push her to realize what was going on in the company, they knew it was bad, but yet went with the flow?
A little far-fetched.

And the hits keep coming!

Mary Kennedy has created an amazing family in the Steel Patriots. Every time she releases a new book in this series, I simply devour it and then begin waiting for the next book! Grant and Evie did not disappoint. As always Mary delivered a healthy dose of romance along side social topics and human injustices.

Warm up the computer Mary....I am ready and excited to read Hunter and Striker’s stories!!!

Great!

I chose this raring because this was a very interesting book. I enjoyed most all of the characters. This was a book of compassion, kindness, protection, and having someone to lean on. I enjoyed Grant and Evie story. What Evie had to endure was very tragic, but she mad it through. I think the author did an awesome joy with these characters. Great read! I recommend this book to all romance readers.

Grant and Evie were cute in this one. Grant so patient and willing to move at Evie's pace, a great thing as they all learned what happened to Evie in the past. It was so crazy and got crazier as the team helped Evie try to stop those that were still after her. It took a bit, but quickly they had all the bad guys rounded up and found ways to protect people at large. I liked the decision that Ghost and the team made at the end, it will interesting to see where things go from there.

Love love loved this one!

As per, another amazing installment. I loved Grant and his big beautiful heart! Evie was absolutely perfect for him. She was so beautifully strong and had been through hell and back and finding each other was exactly what one another needed! Cannot wait for Striker, he deserves his happily ever after

Builder Grant

Evie and Grant were certainly destined to meet and be together. Grant was healing from having his hand accidentally amputated and reattached successfully, Evie was fighting a sexual predator from her youth. They, with Steel Patriots help were able to bring down two very sick people who were preying on young women. Great read

A perfect 10!!!

This book was everything I have come to expect from a Steel Patriots novel. There were laughs, love, a few tears and of course suspense. Any let us not forget the sexy talk. I don't want to think of this series ending.

Solid plot about child sexual abuse...gang rapes of minors filmed and sold . then sold to perverts. sad subject. one survivor grew up, followed her dreams only to be blackmailed by her rapist...but, wait...there's even more skullduggery afoot from an unexpected source. HEA though.

Another great read in this series

Once again Mary Kennedy has shined a light on a dark issue in our society. Really looking forward to Strikers book and waiting to find out what will happen when they join with Reaper.

Military hero’s can be afraid too

Even though Evie became a tough military chick, her past still haunted her. Our minds process things differently when we’re younger and sometimes it takes a lot of help to see the truth.

Romantic

I loved this one, but then I've loved each one n the series. There is sexual content and adult scenes. Definitely not for young readers.I'm wanting Strkers story.

Amazing!

I literally read this in one day. Couldn't put it down. Some of it may be hard to read. But just skip those parts. This is well worth the read.

Good

While I enjoyed this book, there were things that I wasn't thrilled about, especially Ghost's decision when the came to joining Reaper. I didn't think Grant and Evie were a good couple.
