Soldier's Duty: Iron Horse Legacy

Soldier's Duty is the first book in Elle James' new series Iron Horse Legacy and definitely worth reading. I'm looking forward reading more books in this series. When their father disappears the McKinnon boys all come back home to help their mother and sister on the ranch and to help find their father. Angus the oldest brother decides no matter the outcome he is leaving his military career and staying to help out on the ranch for good, but the last person he expects to see after all of these years is Bree. Bree Lansing left all of those years ago and never intended on returning, but getting news that her mother is very ill along with the ranch hand Bree felt she is needed at home. Angus is the one person that she has never forgotten and missed the most. He is also the last person she thought would offer her help, but when she finds sick and dead animals on her family ranch and has to move them to safety he is the first one there. Things aren't adding up around the ranches and Angus feels like Bree's life might be in danger and he will do everything he can to protect her along with taking care of his family and looking for his father. His duty is now at home. I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.

Elle James - Soldier's Duty -(Iron Horse Legacy Series - Book 1) Iron Horse Ranch is where James & Hanna McKinnon raised their four (4) sons and one (1) daughter. The family has close ties and would do anything for each other. - Angus is the oldest at 33 and a Delta Force soldier. - Duncan is the biggest of the brothers and an Airborne Ranger in the Army. Duncan is injured from a deployment and may be medically discharged. - Colin is a Marine. - Sebastian (Bastian) is a Navy Seal. - Molly is the youngest and lives and breaths the Ranch. She must have her horses surrounding her and can’t imagine living anywhere but on the Iron Horse. Book 1 focuses on Angus McKinnon and Bree Lansing: The new series, Iron Horse Legacy, starts off with the McKinnon Patriarch, missing in the Crazy Mountains. An April stormy cold front with snow is pelting down on the mountains. James McKinnon was part of a posse, looking for an escaped prisoner. When James didn’t come back with the rest of the group, his sons, all in the military, flew back home to find him. Angus McKinnon is the eldest at 33 years old. He left the ranch 13 years ago to join the Army. Angus had loved being a Delta Force soldier but had signed his separation papers before he flew to Montana. Things didn’t work out as he planned when he left so many years ago. The love of his life, Bree Lansing, was supposed to wait for him to complete basic and advanced training and Angus would return for her. But, Bree left soon after his departure, and he never heard from her again. Now she is back, and his heart still feels the pain that she caused. Bree Lansing moved to Wolf Creek Ranch after her mother married her stepfather, Greg Hemming. Wolf Creek butts up to Iron Horse. So Bree has known Angus since the 7th grade and has loved him ever since. When her confrontation with her abusive Step Father ended in a tragedy, she fled Montana and moved to Alaska for the sake of her mother and Angus. Bree didn’t want them to be caught up in the misfortune that Bree believed she inflicted. Or did she? Some things are not what they seem. Bree was back in Crazy Mountain, MT because someone has poised her mother, the ranch hands and the animals. She must find out who is doing this, and why before it’s too late. As the mystery of Angus’s missing father and Bree’s mother and ranch being poised, they both must work together because someone is working against both families. Could these two incidents be connected? Find out if Bree and Angus has a chance of putting things back together and have their own HEA. The mystery of Angus’s father and who is poisoning the ranch is not solved in this installment but will probably carry into other series books. I highly recommend this series. You won’t regret it. I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review.
