A review by theeditorreads
Mine to Guard by Kennedy L. Mitchell

5.0

Mine to Guard is the story of Texas Ranger Alec Bronson who will save Rae Chapin from the horrible monster that stalks her.

Trigger Warning: Serial Killer, Violence, Abuse, Kidnapping, Torture

Warning: This can be read as a standalone but it helps to know that the protagonists made their appearance felt in the previous book.

Synopsis:
Rae Chapin is in trouble with the authorities and Texas Ranger Alec Bronson is the first person she thinks of to call for help. Fresh from the long-winded consequences of the last case that Alec had to handle, the last thing he expected in his well-deserved time off was to get a call from his high school sweetheart, Rae. And what those strange and dangerous circumstances they were!

Review:
The story starts as usual with a prologue in the third person, describing in every disturbing detail the psychopath who's soon going to torture us, readers.

But this time, our couple has a history, which makes this not only a romantic thriller but a second chance history. And that they were high school sweethearts made this more special.

[a:Kennedy L. Mitchell|15505700|Kennedy L. Mitchell|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1542508144p2/15505700.jpg]'s stories are full of sass, and this was no different. Rae is literally a ray of sunshine with her attitude towards life. Even after all that she has had to face.

Mine to Guard is the intense and fast-paced story of this small-town girl who has a stalker hell-bent on destroying her life and killing those around her. But even in all that grimness, the strong spirit of Rae shines through.

Not once did I imagine the stalker to be who they turned out to be. In a way, it was really sad when the truth of the stalker came out. This story was full of so many surprises, and another best thing to happen was Charlie (whose story will be coming in December!)

Along with everything else, I was glad that this book had Sherry, Alec's motherly housekeeper. She's a gem of a person and I wanted her character to be more there. But yeah, the two epilogues and the way the story wound up made up for it. Especially the happy ever after described in this book, along with the previous books' characters making an appearance, was so heart-warming.

Thank you to the author for an e-ARC of the book.
