Happy New Year, dear friends! There’s no better way to start my blogging year than with book news from Ronie Kendig. There are TWO new exciting books from Ronie – one is available now, and the other coming soon.
From the moment I read Ronie Kendig’s debut novel, Dead Reckoning, over ten years ago, I knew I’d be a lifetime fan. Her talent is exceptional, her dialogue witty and authentic, and the emotional investment next level. Whether she’s writes military thrillers, romantic suspense, fantasy, or epic space operas, I soak up every word, connect with every character, and am immersed in every world she creates.
STONE || THE METCALFES #1
Today sees the release of STONE, the first in her latest romantic suspense series, THE METCALFES, a spin-off from her Christy Award winning novel, Wolfsbane which featured Canyon Metcalfe who felled readers’ hearts everywhere!
THE METCALFES will feature the four remaining Metcalfe siblings, kicking off with stoic oldest sibling, Stone.
I had the privilege of endorsing STONE. Here’s my thoughts:
Ronie Kendig wrests control of my emotions once again as she plunges a man of honour and integrity back into the world he fled. No one writes romantic thrillers with the relentless pace, soul-deep emotion, and dynamic dialogue like Kendig.
Now take a look…
She cost him everything. Now, he’s forced to protect her.
Stone Metcalfe embodies the Metcalfe legacy—blue eyes, an unfair amount of good looks, and hardcore patriot-laced character. But a foolish lapse in judgment dismantles his name and career. Humiliated and furious, he retreats to his mountain lodge to hide from media hounds and eke out a new life. However, one phone call from an old Army buddy upends Stone’s best-laid plans.
Supermodel Brighton Buchanan had designers and men eating out of her hand until a terrible mistake trapped her in the soul-eating world of human trafficking. Years later, she is used by her captors to take down the best man she’s ever known. The man she loves. Hope lost, she’s unexpectedly freed—and thrown back into Stone’s life. Being forgiven is out of the question considering how much he hates her.
Believing danger and her trafficker are one wrong move away, Brighton will do anything to keep him from being ruined again—even if it means going back to that life. As everything is falling apart and threats mount against Brighton, Stone realizes forgiveness is the easy part. Protecting her—and his heart—is another story.
COVER REVEAL: Shadow of Honor
Ronie has recently dropped the cover of the third book in her EPIC Droseran Saga. This thrilling, romantic, and other worldly space opera is next level! If you haven’t experienced this series, I highly recommend you get your hands on Brand of Light and Dawn of Vengeance now, so you are ready for Shadow of Honor when it releases June 14, 2022!
Held captive, tortured by monsters of a nightmarish alien race, Marco Dusan clings to a final goal: keep these beasts from the Quadrants, even if it means orchestrating his own death. But his dreams betray that singular design. In them his bonded calls to him across lightyears. Does he leave her to fight Symmachia alone, or risk bringing an unwinnable war to every planet in the Quadrants?
On board the alien dreadnought, Eija Zacdari flounders, torn amidst military machinations, prophecies, and an inexplicable bond with one of the fearsome creatures who have imprisoned her friends. Only by uncovering the truth about an ancient conflict now shrouded in deception will she find her place.
Faced with her true identity, Eija sees her purpose snap into focus, and she realizes the war Marco fears may be the very one he has been called to start.
So there you have my first post for 2022! Hope your year has started swimmingly 🙂
Ronie Kendig is a bestselling, award-winning author of over thirty books. She grew up an Army brat, and now she and her Army-veteran husband have returned to their beloved Texas after a nearly ten-year stint in the Northeast. They survive on Sonic runs, barbecue, and peach cobbler that they share–sometimes–with Benning the Stealth Golden. Ronie’s degree in psychology has helped her pen novels of intense, raw characters.
No better way to start the new year off than with Ronie Kendig, am I right? So excited for Stone since his brother Canyon is one of my top book boyfriends. And THAT cover..<3 <3 <3 Then, more Marco? Yes indeed! 2022 is already looking up 🙂
