Atlas by Ronie KendigMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Reading Atlas was like spending time with loved ones who you haven’t seen for a while.
When I learned that the author is bringing out a series featuring the children of the Nightshade team in the Discarded Hero series, I was excited and knew I wanted to read the series ASAP.
And the interaction between Atlas and the members of the Nightshade team reminded me why the author won my heart with this group of heroes.
I enjoyed the action and suspense and seeing how old and new worked together. The danger element was never ending and Atlas’s desire and struggle to measure up to a legacy believable.
The banter between team members I have come to love in the author’s books was also overflowing in this story.
There is a thread which was mentioned in the beginning of the book but not solved, which I am expecting will wrap up at the end of the series.
If you love military thrillers and fell in love with the Discarded heroes, you will enjoy this book as well.

About the book:
Some hearts are worth fighting for—even when the battle comes home.
Olympic sharpshooter McKenna Neeley thought her biggest challenge was living up to her legendary father's legacy as Nightshade's team sniper. But working as a junior Consular Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Armenia, she's about to face her most perilous mission yet—and it has nothing to do with diplomacy.
When a high-stakes dinner party brings Dante Riddell back into her life, McKenna's carefully ordered world tilts off its axis. The brooding security specialist from Omen Tactical Group was her childhood crush, but now he's all grown up—and guarding secrets as closely as he guards his VIP clients.
Despite finally being claimed by his father as a teen, Dante has spent his life believing he isn’t worthy of the Nightshade legacy. When his duty collides with McKenna's consular work sparks fly and keeping their distance becomes impossible. She's everything he remembers and more—brilliant, compassionate, and dangerously distracting. His job is complete the mission and walk away before his damaged heart gets involved.
But when a deadly enemy disrupts peace talks, simple plans shatter like glass.
Trapped together in a web of international intrigue, McKenna and Dante must trust each other—and God’s plan—forging a love that's been years in the making. Because sometimes the greatest battles aren't fought with weapons, but with faith, forgiveness, and the courage to believe in second chances.
Can two wounded hearts find healing in each other's arms, or will the shadows of their past destroy their chance at forever?
"A beautiful blend of faith, heart-pounding suspense, and swoon-worthy romance. This book touched my soul!" — Susan May Warren, USA Today bestselling author

About the author:
An Army brat, Ronie Kendig grew up in the classic military family, with her father often TDY and her mother holding down the proverbial fort. Their family moved often, which left Ronie attending six schools by the time she’d entered fourth grade. Her respite and “friends” during this time were the characters she created.
It was no surprise when she married a military veteran—her real-life hero—in June 1990 and recently celebrated their 30th Anniversary. Despite the craziness of life, Ronie finds balance and peace with her faith, family, retired military working dog VVolt N629, and Benning the Stealth Golden a short train ride from New York City.
Ronie has a deep love and passion for people, which is why she earned a degree in Psychology from Liberty University. Ronie speaks and teaches across the country and mentors other writers.
