With This Pledge

3rd book in this series that I have read in the last 2 days. Can't put them down. Great romance and such creative stories

Loved this story. Can't wait until the next one. The ending was surely a surprise!

I was so excited to finally get to read Max's story and I was not disappointed. At the end of the previous book, we read that Max had left for a special mission. Well, now he's back, but things are not the same. His siblings notice that he's extra quiet, but they don't understand why. Also in the previous book we got to meet Kelsey Malone who was hired by Cam to run his riding stables. Kelsey has her own level of baggage, but when she meets Max, she recognizes a kindred spirit. There's a connection there of shared experiences. However, that shared experience is exactly why she can't let herself get involved. But, what about if the restrictions are no longer an issue? What then? And, when her past catches up with her, will Max be there to protect her? I honestly enjoyed this story and devoured it in a day. I liked the respect shown for the military and their families, and the struggles they go through. I also liked how the romance developed. Kelsey is a strong woman, and she was firm with her values. Yet, Max is no pushover himself. He was open and honest with Kelsey and they each knew exactly where they stood with each other. All in all, a great read. Romance - PG - some kissing Language - clean My rating - 5 stars.
