Hmm. I’m sad this series seems to be ended. I enjoyed these bikers and the gangs. There was new and unique stuff to learn and situations that kept me guessing.

I loved this big, gentle, bearded biker who fell in love with a petite and perky nurse at the hospital where they both work. The danger is real when Julie’s brother gets involved with a gang who traffics in drugs, and Julie is kidnapped, “claimed,” by the biker gang. Lucas belongs to a rival gang and to protect Julie, infiltrates the Devil’s Breath gang. It is a tense and scary story, and you will find yourself holding your breath!
Although I loved this book, it would have been more realistic if the couple had been a little more careful about talking about what they were doing. I could see the gang having hidden cameras and listening devices everywhere.

The third book in the Sentinels MC series about a club that is comprised of men who love to ride motorcycles but are not about violence and destruction but instead believe in living full, productive lives with jobs and helping others. House has a job as a security guard at a hospital and is interested in Julie, a nurse who works at the same hospital but might have a problem there because House has past issues with Julie’s brother Lawrence. This book is very much about forgiveness and letting go of the past when presented with the opportunity to do good for one another. Another thought-provoking book by Ms. Johnson in this wonderful series!

What a great clean romance. I had fun reading this book and watching the characters grow throughout the story. Lucas is working at a library at the start of the book and then gets a job at the hospital in security and Julie is a nurse at the same hospital. They meet by chance away from work and seem to connect. The history Lucas has with her older brother could cause some problems and then there is the rival outlaw motorcycle gang. You have to read this book to find out the twist and turns for yourself.
Lucas HOUSE Miner belongs to the Sentinel MC – a good MC, helping out in the community. By day he is a security guard at the local hospital. When he meets Paige he is immediately attracted, but her brother and he have a history. Said brother resurfaces after 8 months of complete silence and is picked up by the Breathers – an outlaw MC.
Torn between MC culture and his feelings for Julie, he has a long way to go until the happy end.
One might still be able to read the story as a stand-alone, but one would miss out on a lot of layers in the story, and some of the background story would be missing.
As part of the larger story of the Sentinels this story is thrilling and fast-paced. I am looking forward to the next book.

Crash was a good read for me! I like the amour between Lucas and Julie. They begin as a whisper then detonate into a boom. This has all the feels and still leaves the reader wanting more. I am excited to say that I am looking forward to the next book.

Lucas and Julie have been circling their attraction for each other, when he finds out she’s the sister of his high school bully, who has just returned home, from being gone mysteriously for 6 months, to be taken again by his rival motorcycle club. They want their relationship to progress but now she can be claimed by the other club. The Sentinels secretly pledge Julie. The plan is after the “Breathers” claim her, Lucas will betray the Sentinels (or dropout) because of her; go to the Breathers for sanctuary and ask them to get Julie for him to protect. Once they are in the Breathers club house find out why they have her brother and try to free him. Will they succeed? Will their love survive? Will they survive?
Another great story in the series from Elana Johnson. This isn’t the typical series I would normally read but I found myself drawn to it none the less. Each story is well written, captivating and enjoyable to read. The characters are strong and well developed and you’ll love reading their story. Would definitely recommend.

Loved this book! It is about a motorcycle club that is a christian club and does good in the community! One of the bikers falls for a nurse and she for him and how they work out their differences! I recommend this book to anyone who likes romance books.
For someone who is petrified of being on a motorcycle, I love this series. The right amount of tension, interesting characters and a fast paced story line. These “bad” boys with big hearts will touch you. Can’t wait for the next book.
Loved it/good series
Another great book in a great series. I’m really enjoying the series and all the characters. I loved Julie and Lucas’s story and catching up on the characters from previous books. I’m looking forward to more books in the series.
This was a great read with characters that are well developed and engaging and have chemistry. The storyline is well written and flows smoothly.

Love this new series! The “bikers” in this series are all big teddy bears with beards, muscles, ink and big hearts. They have been broken by things in their pasts but have come together as a family in the Sentinels. This is not your usual motorcycle “gang”. This gang is more of a service organization but they still protect their community from outlaw gangs. Lucas has a new job and a new budding relationship with Julie. They find out that Julie’s missing brother has been abducted and forced to work for an outlaw gang. When the outlaw gang “claims” Julie, Lucas and the Sentinels go into action to get her and her brother back. This book has mystery, action, faith, and brotherhood. I especially like the direction for the Sentinels that Lucas is looking into! Don’t miss this exciting new read from Elana Johnson!
This journey with Lucas and Julie is a sweet slow journey. Their love is evident and gradual. When Lawrence gets involved with the Breathers it puts them on shaky ground. Will they get their happily ever after????
