This one keeps you looking over the characters shoulders. You never know for sure who is a good-guy and is a bad-guy. Definitely a page turner plot. This one keeps you guessing.
The suspense kept me reading so that I finished it in one day.
5 stars
Lev is the Brigadier in the Russian mafia. Sergi is his boss and a man he looks up to. They have joined some people in fighting the Saints, an organization determined to rule the world and terminate anyone against them. Lev is sent to Kiev to stop an assassination but gets caught instead. Reyna is former CIA and has been undercover in the Saints for five years. She is trying to bring them down after they killed her partner. Now she and Lev have to keep a step ahead of the Saints and get back to the States.
Great story, I was a little confused at first, so it’s best to read the books before this one. Constant pulse pounding action and suspense. Two loners who learn to trust and rely on each other.
A great spy thriller. Maks and Eden are running and hiding from the Saints, a worldwide secret organization determined to control the world with whatever they want. Full of surprises and heated passion. It’s a real head twister.

The Defender (Sons of Texas, #4) by Donna Grant
I am enjoying the SONS OF TEXAS series and this book kept me guessing the whole way. Lev Ivanski and Reyna Harris are working to end THE SAINTS. The find each other and almost end each other before they join forces. We catch up with old friends..lose some friends and discover some new allies. This book has all the angst, evil, terror, intrigue, laughter, tears, loyalty, deception, laughter, tears, love and steam to get us to their HEA. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series The Guardian
Book 5 of 5: Sons of Texas.
Totally action packed! Lev belongs to the Russian Mafia and Reyna is ex-cia working to bring down the Saints, who she has infiltrated. She’s a kick-ass take no prisoners sort of person. Lev is also working to bring down the Saints. The two join forces and they rain hell fire on the bad guys. Super original, well researched book doesn’t disappoint. Grab it. (It also contains a great love story!)
This was a slow read for me. I liked the two main characters but the story just plodded along. I was not crazy about the battle between the Loughmans and the Saints. It felt like Lev was not really part of the Loughmans since he had his own thing going with Sergei. It feels like this is a battle between two criminal groups which I wasn’t especially happy with. It feels like the lesser of two evils, in terms of which group you want to come out on top. I just can’t recommend this one.
What a great story it was packed with action and adventure and suspense right from the very first pages.The story had a great cast of character’s that were clever,intelligent,resourceful and while running from the bad guys found love and friendship along the way.We absolutely loved it !
The story was packed with a ton romance right from the beginning to end.Lev and Reyna had this amazing connection and chemistry from the onset of their meeting each other.The Saint organization have the hands in a lot of pies and and now that they have infiltrated the government its hard to know who to trust anymore.Reyna is a spy trying to take them down and Lev has been sent by his boss to do the same thing but, one thing Lev has that Reyna doesn’t is powerful friends.
Overall we loved the story from beginning to end and we loved the characters good and bad.We enjoyed being on this couples journey while they were on the run to save their lives and how they had to outsmart and outwit and entire organization to keep from getting killed and Reyna and Lev took everything the learned over the years to do just that and although Lev has powerful friends Reyna had the edge as she worked for the Saints and new just how they operated.
For us this was the perfect romantic suspense story to pass the time and we really loved Donna Grant and her stories and we can’t wait to continue the rest this series.
Love this series. Sons of Texas combines hot Texas military men, hot Russians, intelligent strong women and a secret organization called the Saints that they are all trying to bring down.
This is book 4 in the series has Lev sent to Kiev in an attempt to foil a plot by the Saints. Instead he is captured by Reyna a member of the Saints.
Reyna lost her partner to the Saints and has been working within the organization to bring them down. But when she doesn’t turn in Lev, she knows her time with the Saints is up. Together she and Lev must get out of Kiev and find their way back to the US.
Easier said than done when the Saints are everywhere.
Donna Grant once again takes us on a wild ride of conspiracy, action, adventure, danger, and love. The characters she has created are well thought out and endearing. Can’t wait for this series to continue!!
