So vivid and contemporary that it could be happening here and now!"- Kathy Tyers, author of the Firebird series"If 'care about the protagonists' is the essential element of good fiction, Trinity is masterful. A war dog, an intrepid, multiethnic girl and a healing former Green Beret mix it up with the enemy on the mountain cliffs of Afghanistan. Ronie Kendig has penned a page-turner of the first order."-Eric Wiggin, author of Skinny Dipping at Megunticook Lake and Emily's Garden"Dodge bullets, cling by your fingertips to an icy cliff—then fall heart first for a wounded hero and his incredible military war dog. You won't sleep, but please remember to breathe. Ronie Kendig's rapid-fire fiction: Oorah!"—Candace Calvert, author of the Mercy Hospital series and Trauma PlanTrinity will capture your heart right away and will not let go until the last person is saved. I didn't realize just how important these dogs were to the military (sorry, I have a very limited scope of what our military does!). I did't realize that MWDs earned ranks along with their trainers. Trinity has a higher rank than her faithful friend Ghost. I have a much greater appreciation now of the military and the training that takes place because of what Ronie has written into her books. She is a "military brat" who extensively researches her subjects before writing on them.Thank you, Ronie for yet another great book and for helping me to appreciate MWDs and other beautiful creatures even more!(Julie Johnson My Own Little Corner of the World 20120706)Trinity is a poignant and contemporary novel overflowing with suspense, mystery, and danger. Ronie Kendig returns as strong as ever with her new series, A Breed Apart. The author brings to life the worries, fears, and the sense of loss so many service members experience after an injury while serving in the line of duty. Heath’s journey to rediscovery is one of heart-wrenching emotions with a hope-filled conclusion.Strong writing and vivid descriptions place the reader in the middle of the action. Within a span of a few minutes, I went from choking up, to laughing out loud, to feeling like my heart would leap out of my chest, and then the cycle would begin again as I experienced the characters’ stories as though they were my own. With so many men and women currently serving overseas in the military, Trinity felt like a window through which I could peer into their world and catch a small glimpse of the struggles, fears, and hopes they face every day. I strongly recommend this novel to suspense fans.(Elizabeth Olmedo Fiction Addict 20120703) Book DescriptionReeling from the effects of a traumatic brain injury that ripped his military career from his hands, former Green Beret Heath Daniels struggles to find new purpose with his war dog, Trinity.

I am looking forward to reading further books in the series.(Michelle Chapman A Few of My Favorite Things 20101106)I have put Ronie Kendig’s books at the top of my must read list!

Novel Journey and I give it our highest recommendation.(Ane Mulligan Novel Journey 20101122)In this book, there is a lot of action and suspense just as the first, but even more, and there is also a lot more of the romantic element. Don't let that scare you away guys. This, just like the first book, will definitely capture male readers' interest. There is a lot of action, guns - all the stuff that the average man is interested in, yet women should and do enjoy these books also.(Mark Buzard Thoughts of a Sojourner 20101228)Kendig portrays military engagements realistically, without egregious gore, and she leaves out the expletives.  Digitalis is #2 in the "Discarded Heroes" series and is well written, easily read, and a captivating page-turner.(John Bernstein CBA Retailers + Resources 20110101)The pacing is fantastic. I didn’t skim a single page. As in the first book, Kendig hooks you into Colton’s and Piper’s world with such effectiveness that I never questioned the credibility of the events. Speaking of events, the plot kept me guessing unto the end, including the way the romance between Colton and Piper developed.And of course, the book has lots of carnage.I know this book is labeled as a romance book, but I’ve recommended it and the first book in the series, Nightshade, to my husband. It’s the perfect balance of man book and sigh-worthy romance. There aren’t enough man books out there and I’m glad to finally have a book I can share with him.(Terri J. Haynes In Other Words 20100114)Ronie Kendig peals back the layers of her character’s in such an intriguing way that you not only watch the character growth but you also feel that character’s pain and growth. Trusting God is not always an easy thing and Ronie Kendig puts that into light with each of her books. What I also love is that Ronie Kendig sheds light on what real soldiers who see conflict and combat go through today when they come off the field and out of the military. The flashbacks that Colton experiences are similar in nature to those of real soldiers and their experiences. I love how she sheds light on this as well as helping to make the average reader aware of these very real situations.I was very sad when I finished Digitalis (Discarded Heroes, Book 2) because I knew that I would now have to wait until July to reconnect with this elite group.(Rachael Coe Empowering Mommy 20110104)Each chapter reveals new secrets, leading to a crescendo of surprises.  Family values, team loyalty, and relational fidelity are strong for both lead characters.  Kendig portrays military engagements realistically, without egregious gore, and she leaves out the expletives.  Digiatlis is #2 in the "Discarded Heroes" series and is well written, easily read, and a captivating page-turner.(John Bernstein CBA Retailers 20110101)Kendig does a great job keeping the action going.  She also shows the struggle Colton has with his faith in God and his struggle with the mission and his task to kill terrorists.(Joan Nienhuis Book Reviews from an Avid Reader 20110216)Ronie Kendig knows how to weave an intelligent and action-packed plot.  She also knows how to season such a tale with the perfect amount of romance.  This is a completely enjoyable novel that will keep you up well past bedtime turning the pages of this incredible tale!(Stacey Dale WORD up! 20110309)This unputdownable page-turner has just about the right amount of everything: action, romance, humor, and espionage.
