Story
I enjoyed this story very much, it was hard to put down and I am looking forward to reading more stories by this author.
. . Law enforcement ranger Adam McKenzie is going about his usual patrol when he comes across a woman, Jody Ingram, who has a gun pointed at her.
He intervenes, and the two wind up on the run in the Smoky Mountains National Park, trying to escape from a band of thugs determined to kill them.
The thugs seem to think Jody has something they want, but Jody is clueless as to what it could be.
You'll find, as you read this, that Jody isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, Will they make their way back to civilization in order to try and find out what has put them in this mess
Smoky Mountains Ranger gets off to an actionpacked, suspenseful start, but like a lot of Intrigue books, tends to sag in the middle.
However, it gets itself over the line with a good climax that provides an interesting motive for the mayhem and wraps up all the storylines more than satisfactorily, even though this is part of a miniseries.
Adam has three brothers who are all in some form of law enforcement, natch, But I'm fine with that, I just really prefer to my romantic suspense stories to wrap up without unanswered questions, miniseries or not.
So I'm thankful this book did!
Where the book mostly sinks is in the character of Jody Ingram.
She definitely rates up there in the Too Stupid To Live category, She's also on a constant and I mean constant crying jag, But Adam just thinks that this adds to her adorableness, Blech. Good for him, I guess! But her behaviour for a large part of the book just did my head in! She's the sort of person prone to a dramatic statement such as, "I killed him!" When, you know, it was absolutely nothing near the case.
I mean, who says that She just constantly got on my nerves the entirety of the book and I never warmed to her.
There was also some glaring errors as far as I was concerned, It definitely took me out of the story, Stuff like that isn't hard to research!
It's still a good read, If Jody wasn't so annoying and if the plot could have maintained its taught pacing, it would have been a four star story.
It's especially good if you like books that wrap all the plot strands up even though it's
part of a miniseries.
This is a Suspense Romance, and this is the first book in the Mighty McKenzies series, This book starts off by the Ranger runs into a suspense scene where he cannot figure out who was good and who is bad, but he guessed the woman needed saving.
Of course they fall in love each other, but the romance I feel was done very well.
This is a short fast pace book, I think I finished reading this book in just overhours, This story is told by the Ranger Adam and the woman he saves Jody, I really love Ranger Adam and Jody characters, and I think they worked well together, There are twisted and turns in this story which made the story even better, This story was wellwritten and I could see the area the characters where in, It took me a while to read this book, but once I got into the book it was a great story.
The story of Judy Ingram was interesting, For she seems naive but there is more to her than you realize, The story is like a tangled ball that needs to be unravelled, She doesn't even know what is going on, Adam McKenzie is a perfect foil for her, He is gentle and patient, He also has a big heart, As this story works its way thru there is a few surprises in it, It also has a lot of action and suspense in it, Looking forward to the next book on this family, I like the reputation this family has, It sounds like they've earned it, So it should be fun to follow thebrothers yet to come, Categories

The Mighty McKenzies I really liked this book.
I was a little slow to start this book for some reason but this book left me guessing all the way to the end.
As soon as I finished this book, I went to get the next book in the series.
I would recommend this book to others, A story that back group of the Smoky Moutains will have you wanting to go and live on them.
But this story will leave you stunned when reading it through with a beautiful girl fighting for her life and a sexy as hell Ranger that is head over heels for her in love will protect her with his life.
I loved this book. When Adam McKenzie comes between two people fighting on one of the trails hes not sure if its a lovers spat or something else.
So he approaches very carefully,
He doesnt want to cause any problems, but things dont seem right, Soon hes helping Jody out and
there running for there life,
Buy the book and see what happens, A page turner and so much more to come,
/STARS!
Excitement abounds in the kickoff to a new series by Lena Diaz! With the first book in The Mighty McKenzies series, we get to know Adam and hear tidbits about his parents and siblings, all taking on upholding the law as their life's work.
This story is filled with intrigue and action in the beginning, and a good bit of emotional turmoil and family drama woven in.
Really enjoyed the start to the series and look forward to more to come!
When park ranger Adam McKenzie stumbles upon a man and a woman in the park, he's certain something is off with them.
Turns out he's right when he realizes the man is taking the woman at gunpoint and jumps in to try to rescue her!
Jody Ingram unwittingly got herself into a mess and has no clue how to get out of it.
When this heroic park ranger puts himself in the line of fire to help her, she's very grateful.
As time is running out and they are cut off from the real world, they race against time to find a way out of the clutches of a band of mad men.
