She saw in him what no one else could see.
He found in her what he could never find.
One moment changed everything but, even with a break in time, their connection could never be severed.
In the beginning he may have been her salvation, but in the end she will be his redemption.

This is Book One in the Acts Of Honor series, the spin-off series to Men Of Honor. It’s Anna and Logan’s story and is told in dual POV, has an HEA with no cliffhanger and it can be read as a standalone. However, I highly recommend that you read the Men Of Honor series prior, as characters play recurring roles in both series.
KC Lynn has only gone and done it again.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review, and although I read many ARC's, I always feel privileged when she gives me one of her novels.
To me they always hold a special meaning, and I don't just mean to the men that serve our country or to God, but a deeper meaning.
No one can write the truer meaning of Honor than KC. She writes it beautiful, heroically, and so meaningful.
Anna and Logan's story never began with hearts and flowers. She had a traumatic past where she was kidnapped from her school trip and sent to a sex ring. We meet her in the first men of honor series, and throughout the rest of the books. She's been through hell, but not only has she lived her own, but Logan has also lived through his own living hell in his life.
The two were made for each other.
The book had a Best of me By Nicolas Sparks feel towards the beginning. Logan is wrongly accused of a murder. It was more of self defense, which is why I found it hard to stomach why he took a plea when he could have fought, told them what happened.
The years go by and Anna is in college, getting her degree and living life the best she can, day by day. So when she steps into an underground fighting ring, the last person she expects to see is Logan.
KC has written another fantastic plot because it had me gripped from start to finish. I loved both characters and I was glad to see Anna for the girl she is and not the scared girl we met in the beginning of the series.
I also love her relationship with Sawyer, Cade, but mostly, Jaxon. Their relationship is just something else, and KC has a way of making it feel more than words on paper.
Logan, is not only suffering from his old wounds, but he's also beginning to fight new ones, one's that were caused by him been his families protector. When he's given a chance to get out of prison, he takes it, not knowing how much danger he's truly putting himself in.
The story continues on and is freaking brilliant, and just when I think it's all over something happens that blew me away. The whole scene caused goosebumbs to rise on my arms, shivers down my spine and my fingers to grip my kindle. It was so intense, so raw, and so frightening that I found it hard to look away.
There is one part in this scene that truly took my breath away and made me choke on my own tears, and that is when Anna feels something is happening, she knows something is happening to Logan, and she feels it. It was crushing and my God, I sobbed like a baby. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll shut up.
I cried, I laughed, I swooned, and I awed.
But what I truly loved about the book was the hidden message. The one for me was vets that are discharged from the service and sent home with no funding to help them recover through what they've been through.
During the book we meet a homeless man called Sarge. He found it hard coming out of the service and keeping up with his PTSD. He lost his wife, his job and ended up living on the streets with a homeless dog he took in. He finds himself always at the church where Anna works feeding the homeless. She helps him in a way I don't think anyone could ever repay. She truly is an angel, and she is an inspiring person. What she does for everyone around her is breathtaking.
One thing is for certain, KC's look on God is gifting. I love how she writes about HIM, brings him into all her books, it will make anyone who doesn't believe, believe. It's inspiring, just like all her other books and I know I say this every time I review one of her books, but she truly is an amazing writer. These books should become films.
5 amazing, honorable *
