My Review - TRINITY

The start of an amazing series!

5 out of 5 stars

TRINTY, book one in the A Breed Apart series is exciting, suspenseful, and romantic.  What else would you expect from a Ronie Kendig book?

Heath Daniels’ military career is over.  After suffering a traumatic brain injury in a bombing in Afghanistan, Heath is discharged from the army.  His only saving grace, Trinity−his military war dog−refuses to be handled by anyone else and is retired, giving Heath his partner back.  Together, Heath and Trinity end up at the A Breed Apart training facility where war dogs and their handlers get a second chance to show the world their worth and share what God has done in their lives. Serving as a morale booster and spokesman for the A Breed Apart organization, Heath finds himself back in Afghanistan on the same base with his former team. Angry that God has allowed him to be sidelined, he can’t argue the fact that he’s not healthy enough to be back in action.  Atrocious headaches and unexpected blackouts deem him a risk to himself and the members of his former team.

But all that is about to change.

When intelligence officer Darci Kintz is captured and missing somewhere in the brutal Hindu Kush mountain range, Trinity is notably the only dog that can handle the extreme terrain and temperatures−and Heath is the only man who can handle Trinity. There is more at stake than just an extraction. Heath and Darci are not strangers, and though their time together was extremely brief, Heath wants nothing more than to find Darci and see if a relationship is in the cards for a wounded warrior and a international spy.

I am definitely on a Kendig kick right now.  I guess that’s the dangers of buying a whole series at the same time.  The A Breed Apart series is just as electric as Ms. Kendig’s The Quiet Professional series−they even have overlapping characters. Of course, the intensity is now three-fold since not only do you−as the reader−worry about the two main characters, but now there is a canine involved in every precarious shootout, avalanche, sniper fire, and bombing. I love the characters that Ms. Kendig creates.  They are people on honor and integrity, but far from perfect. While Darci’s background is rather complex, Heath’s is quite simple. He has an uncle back in the states, but it is clear Trinity is his whole life . . . until Darcy comes along and rattles his world.

Next Stop . . . TALON, book two in the A Breed Apart series.
