Sometimes two broken pieces make a whole.
He’s the one she’s always loved.
She’s the one he could never have.
A forbidden night of passion resulted in years of heartbreak when he walked away. Now she’s in danger and needs his help.
Trust doesn’t come easy for FBI Agent Nick Stone, especially when it comes to love, but he’ll risk it all for Katelyn Slade.
Including his heart.
Bullets fly, … Slade.
Including his heart.
Bullets fly, betrayals are exposed, and the flames from their past ignite.
His protection might be what saves her but in the end she will be his salvation.
This is Book two in the Acts Of Honor series, the spin-off series to Men Of Honor. It’s Nick and Katelyn’s story and is told in dual POV, has an HEA with no cliffhanger and it can be read as a standalone. However, I highly recommend that you read the Men Of Honor series prior, as characters play recurring roles in both series.
Warning: Due to mature subject matter, such as explicit sexual situations and coarse language, this story is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18.

My heart is still pounding as I write this review. This book has a bit of everything in it. Good things. Bad things. Suspenseful things. Loving things. Cute things. The prologue made my heart hurt and, the book just exploded from there. The first few chapters are about the past of Nick and Katelyn. It explains how they know each other, and gives us a look at their early lives. Katelyn has loved Nick for as long as she can remember. However, Nick is Katelyn’s older brother’s best friend. Nick deep down loves her too, but is afraid to feel. You will find out why near the end of the book. Nick leaves without a real good bye leaving Katelyn hurt. Seven years later Katelyn needs Nick’s help. This is where the story moves to more of an action film. Your heart will be pounding as you cheer for the good guys. It was wonderful seeing the characters from the previous books in this one. I loved the scene with Ruthie and Nick. It was priceless. Dual point of view. No cliffhanger. This is part of a series, but you can read it as a stand alone. I would suggest to read the other books just to get wonderful stories and to meet these people. Well written and well edited.
The series just got so much better.
This book was just brilliant. I was dying to read this after the lil teasers at the end of first book in this series An Act of Redemption. I knew it was goin to be crazy from the beginning and I wasn’t wrong. Katelyn is the sister of Kolan how has gotten himself into a stick situation. Things weren’t looking good for him but Katelyn believed in her brother he meant to world to her. He has protected her all his life and he wasn’t goin to stop. So she knew what was being said could never be true. She just wished the people around her could think the same. She felt lonely and lost there was only one person that would help her but she has seen that person in 7 year but she needed the guy that she luvd.
Nick wow is amazing. Things haven’t been easy for him and he’s made some stupid mistakes. One is leaving the girls that meant the most to him. The one that’s has never left his mind since he first lie eyes on her. Katelyn Slade she was the one that she left behind. She is his best friends sister the one he should have never touched. But she was more than that she was everything he just couldn’t give her what she wanted, him. Until she called him asking for help with his best friend Kolan. Even after 7 years she still had the power to drive him crazy in everyway.
This story is just brilliant I was hooked straight away. I was dying to know what was goin on with Kolan and then there is Katelyn and Nick. Nothing was easy for them everything hard and it was what these characters had dealt with since they were young. They needed a HEA so much. They had to fight for everything but it was so worth it. Katelyn and Nick were made for each other they had grown up together he has protected her she meant everything to him and she felt the same but she could express thats where he couldnt. I luv how this story worked out the ending was just perfect I was so happy. I would highly recommend this book it was so good. This author is just brilliant I luv her writing and every character she writes just keep getting better and better. I’m so looking forward to Kolan book. I need more from this crazy sexy complex guy. I know it’s goin to be just has good has the other books so excited being it on.

~~ 4.5 “YOU ARE MORE” STARS~~
Wow! K.C. Lynn has swept me off my feet again in AN ACT OF SALVATION!
I absolutely LOVED Nick and Katelyn’s tempestuous, action-packed, second chance romance! This riveting and emotionally shattering second standalone installment in her mega popular Acts of Honor series held my heart in a vise grip from start to finish.
SWOOOOON! I couldn’t get enough of “Slick Nick”! This uber sexy, alpha AF, take charge fed with a badass attitude and fierce overprotective streak struck my fancy.. and MELTED my panties! And sighhhh…he sure has such a soft spot in his jaded heart for Katelyn, his former best friend, Kolan’s, baby sister who he loved and regretfully left behind to pursue his dreams in the FBI.
But in their seven years apart as he rose up the ranks and blazed an illustrious career for himself as a hotshot FBI agent, he never stopped yearning for his sweet “sassy pants.” Now he’s back to help Katelyn in her darkest hour and this time he vows to do EVERYTHING in his power to keep her safe and never let her go. But the dark demons from his last past are not about to be silenced!
Adore this heroine too! Kate definitely gives as good as she gets! She has had a harrowing upbringing filled with pain and heartache, but her inner light still burns bright! Her fierce love and loyalty for Nick, her friends and family is awe-inspiring, and her steadfast determination to clear her brother Kolan’s name, at any cost, just moved me to tears.
The development of this romance was BEYOND BREATHTAKING! The depth of love that radiated between this fiery duo electrified my heart…and their chemistry was off the charts! I seriously needed a cold shower during these TORRID interludes !
As with all her books, the MOH cameos and intersecting storylines from previous and future installments are always a highlight!! The pissing contest between Coop and Nick had me in stitches, the girl bonding with Julia, Katelyn, Faith, Grace and Kayla filled me with immeasurable joy, and omfg the Ruthie scenes just melted my heart! And I love how through thick and thin, these strong, stalwart heroes always have each other’s backs, and their unflinching valor truly shines through when the suspense and danger come to a head In the book’s EXPLOSIVE climax!
BOTTOM LINE:
AN ACT OF SALVATION made my heart flutter, my pulse race, had me choking back tears, squirming like a schoolgirl and ultimately made me FEEL SO MUCH. And it paves the way for Kolan’s story, which I am diving into next!
Another MEGA WINNER from K.C. Lynn!
Love all of K C LYNN’S books
I love me a sexy FBI agent anytime!!! #slicknick
Every time KC Lynn writes a book I say this is her best work yet and then she writes another one and I am completely blown away all over again! Her writing knows no bounds and her characters are absolutely amazing!!! I personally cannot get enough of her words!!! This book left me feeling like all the others she has written, forever wanting more!!!!
Our hero, Nick Stone, a/k/a Slick Nick is very wounded and doesn’t trust anyone — rightfully so after what happened to him as a child. He is however, honorable and as sexy as he is infuriating! Wow, this man…. in the beginning I wasn’t sure if I wanted to love him or slap him upside the head!!!! He drove me mad and wild all at the same time! I totally sympathized with Katelyn, because the poor girl truly didn’t know whether she was coming or going…… But trust me, y’all he definitely has earned his name and is most assuredly slick….
“There’s a reason why you haven’t found anyone yet.” I glance up at him, surprised by his comment and a little irritated, “Really? Enlighten me, Romeo, why haven’t I found that person?” He stares down at me, his expression serious. “Because there’s no one good enough for you.”
See what I’m saying just when you wanna slap him he comes out with something like this and he makes you wanna jump his bones instead . In the end I was totally in love and it all made sense.
Katelyn – God, I absolutely love all things Katelyn! She is so damn gutsy and comical! Her personality and spunk make a perfect heroine. She had an awful childhood due to her parents, who just really suck as humans, let alone as parents. The two constants in Kate’s life as a child are her sinfully beautiful brother, Kolan and his over the top, delectable best friend, Nick. If nothing else, they have taught her to give as good as she gets and that she should always believe in herself. Even though Katelyn has been in love with Nick since she was just a little girl, she has always known it wouldn’t work out because of the way he thinks…. or can it?
What I love most about KC Lynn’s writing is the way she throws this beautiful love story into the middle of this fast paced action packed story. There is always something happening on the side-lines, but yet she makes time for the couple’s story to be told. It’s kinda like watching a movie…..
All of the characters, new and old, are awesome and have the best personalities. Together, all these people who have come together, not always under the best of circumstances, but even still, show you that being biologically related isn’t always necessary to be a family.
Thanks again for another great read, KC Lynn!
