Molly McKinnon’s father disappeared on a manhunt for an escaped convict. From what they’ve been able to piece together, whoever kidnapped her father, wants the location of the money the convict escaped to retrieve. Getting desperate, the kidnappers will do anything to get the McKinnon patriarch to tell what the convict told him, even go after the rest of the McKinnon family.Form US Air Force PJ, … Force PJ, Parker Bailey was medically retired from the military after a disastrous mission left him with a damaged leg and a dead pilot he was supposed to rescue. Parker retreats to Montana where he’s offered a job as foreman of the Iron Horse Ranch. He’s spent the last five years working hard and keeping to himself, even though the owner’s pesky daughter is always underfoot. From the first, he found Molly irritating. As she matured into a responsible adult, he found he respected her and eventually desired her. But he would never act on that desire, since she’s the boss’s daughter. Until the boss disappears and Molly’s mouth makes Parker so angry, he kisses her to shut her up. Kissing her breaks all the rules and sets him on path he can’t undo. Even if he did fight to win her heart, he’d have to go through all the McKinnons to get to her.
When Molly is kidnapped, Parker vows to get her back at any cost. Together with her brothers and the Brotherhood Protectors, he fights to retrieve Molly and her father and bring them home to the Iron Horse Ranch.

I love the stories in this series and this one is no exception.
Someone is out to get Molly, the guys must call in help to protect the women and each other.
This is mainly Molly and Parker’s story, their tension that turns awkwardness and indifference to love. Both have been in denial too long. Is the foreman good enough for the boss’s daughter?
Danger is all around them as they hunt for their father’s kidnapper only to find Molly gone too.
Great plot and wonderful characters, I really enjoyed it.
‘Iron Horse Legacy’ is a companion series to the ‘Brotherhood Protectors’ series, but you definitely don’t need to have read that series to enjoy this one. This is the fifth and final book in the series. You can read it as a stand-alone, but you might get more out of it if you’ve read any of the others. The heroine in this book has 4 older brothers, all military men like their father. The father, James, is missing, so all of the brothers have come home on emergency leave.
Molly and Parker have been at odds since her father hired him as foreman of the family ranch. She resented his presence, seeing it as evidence that her father didn’t think she was qualified for the job. Parker was determined to steer clear of her despite the powerful attraction he felt for her. He had been medically discharged from the Air Force after he was seriously injured during s mission that went bad. Parker didn’t see himself as worthy of the daughter of the man who had taken a chance on hiring him.
When masked men try to kidnap Molly from the ranch, Parker is given the responsibility of keeping her safe. The changed circumstances make it impossible for him to keep denying his feelings toward her. The romance between them is very nice and I liked the HEA. I didn’t really like the conclusion to the 5-book storyline about James. I don’t believe in spoilers ever, so I will just say that the solution was too far out of left field for it to work. The climactic sequence was good, but the identity of the bad guys didn’t work for me. And then, after the torment and torture he’d been through, James was pretty much OK – kind of like this book in the series.
Great story
Molly McKInnon has spent her adult life trying to prove to her father that she’s every bit the rancher he is. When he hires Parker to be the new “man in charge”, she’s livid and hurt. She does everything she can think of to infuriate Parker, but it only endears her to him more. Parker, a medically retired US Air Force PJ (Paratrooper/jumper), has spent the last five years trying to work the ranch while avoiding Molly. Molly is the boss’s daughter and he thinks it would be disrespectful to date her—especially while her dad is missing. But he can’t stop thinking about her. After repeated attempts on Molly’s life, Molly’s brothers elect Parker as her “babysitter”. Molly’s not having it though! In order to silence her, Parker kisses her. One kiss leads to another, leads to so much more…
Molly is sassy, feisty and a hard worker. While she wants to be appreciated for her hard work, she also wants to be seen as a woman—not a little sister or tomboy. Parker is noble, loyal, protective, and ALL Alpha male! The chemistry is off the charts. The suspense kept me guessing until the very end. I loved the ending!
Warrior’s Resolve is the 5th novel in the Iron Horse Legacy series. Although it can be read as a stand-alone, I honestly think you need to read all the novels in the series to get more of the back story. Nothing is given away and you don’t feel lost, but I enjoyed knowing the brothers prior to reading Molly’s story. It comes full circle. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
The Iron Horse Ranch was a really a fast moving story. Elle did amazing job with this book that you couldn’t put it down. She knew that the Warrior’s Resolve was one that would be a hit along with all the others that go with this one. When a father is still missing the kidnappers will do anything to get what they want or at least they can try. Molly is a tough rancher and she would do anything to save her father. In this case she couldn’t. She was working on the fence in the pasture when Parker and her brother noticed she was missing they decided to go look for her one went one way the other in the other direction. Molly got her stuff back in the saddles and got her foot stuck and the horse spooked and took off and went running and so did she got to her feet and started to run and to hid from the two ATV’s that came out of the tree line they headed straight for her. She ran as fast as she could with her cowboy books on and when she looked of her shoulder she yelp and one of the guys had a gun and shot her. they where circling her. Parker shot one of the guys and got Molly on his horse with him as she was drugged. He to her the way home that no ATV go and that was when he met up with Angus fired a few shots and told him to get her home. He got her home and in the house they decided it was time to take and call the coverage of all the woman and children that where in danger. So Angus, Colin, Bastian, Duncan, there families and the mother Parker was covering with Molly who would not like that at all. So the next morning she woke up in her room and went to take a shower and when she came out from getting dressed in her room Parker was right there. He told her how things where going to be and she didn’t like it at all. She argued with him and he had to find a way to shut her up so he did. After that they went downstairs and to begin there day and that was with finding out what need to be done. Things went on the wrong side after that. I am recommend this book because it is action and romance and fast pasted . Elle is a fantastic writer and I love her description of the story it made feel like I was part of the family and like I was there going through it with them. I was mad at times and I cried at time.
For honest review as Mr McKinnon is still missing the family and the brother protectors are still looking for him . Now they are going after the family on the ironhorse ranch to make mr McKinnon talk . Fantastic 10 stars.
I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of his book through BookFunnel and I voluntarily chose to review it. This is the 5th book in this series I have read and it is the best one yet. This is a well written book and worth you time. I found it to be a quick read but don’t rush you will miss things. I don’t do spoilers so get the book and see what I am talking about. It is worth your time!!!
What is better than a cowboy or a military hottie? A hot, sexy cowboy who joins the military. This is a great series. The McKinnon family is the true meaning of family. Molly is the only girl. So when her brothers head off to join the military, Molly is mad that her dad has hired a foreman. Parker was medically discharged from the military. When James McKinnon hires him as foreman, he couldn’t be happier. But his daughter doesn’t seem to want him there. Over the years, Parker has tried to stay out of her way, even though he is attracked to her. Molly thinks that Parker doesn’t like her, because he goes out of his way to avoid her. When their dad is kidnapped, it’s up to the McKinnon family to save him. Now they have to work together. Will they give into their feelings?
Wow! This book leaves you guessing until the end on who is responsible for James McKinnon’s kidnapping. Add in the chemistry between Molly and Parker and you have another winner. Even though I kept turning the pages faster and faster to find out who did it, I also didn’t want it to end because it is that good and it leaves you wanting more.
Elle James is a prolific writer. She writes stories about heroes and heroines willing to stay on the side of good always. This series is especially great because it focuses on service members and the people they love. The McKinnon family is dealing with the absence of the patriarch. They are trying to locate him while keeping everyone else safe. Molly is the only girl and is chafing under the restrictions of being watched. Bailey is the foreman and given the task of watching over Molly. This is a fast paced, action packed story. It shows the track of Molly and Bailey falling in love as well as uncovering the bad guys and rescuing Mr. M.
4.5***** stars. What a great western suspenseful love story! James, the head of the family, is still missing. Molly and her brothers are desperately searching for him. Parker, former Seal and ranch foreman, is very protective of Molly. They suspect the kidnappers will start going to the family members to make James talk. Molly appears to be first on their list. A father wouldn’t let his daughter be tortured. It’s got an unexpected kidnapper reveal! Well written. It’s always heartwarming to see these families bond in a united front to save a loved one.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book
A wonderful story of two people admitting their love for each other during a family crisis. Molly’s father’s kidnappers are getting bolder. Trying to kidnap other family members to make Molly’s father talk. Parker has always been attracted to Molly but attempts to kidnap her bring his out his protective side and his love for her. Page turner.
No cliffhanger and HEA. Great series.
I voluntarily received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I love this series and this book. An awesome finish for the series. Molly’s father went missing a couple weeks ago and they know someone is holding him hostage. Her brothers have instigated the buddy system for everyone in order to keep everyone safe until they can find their father. The kidnappers are getting desperate and go after Molly. Parker is now Molly’s buddy. Parker has avoided the boss’s daughter for five years and now he has to spend time with her to keep her safe. He already wants her. Will he be able to keep her safe? Must read to find out.
This was the best book in the series. Parker is a former Air Force Pararescue and the foreman for the Iron Horse Ranch. Molly is the baby and only girl of the McKinnon’s and always trying to do more than her brothers. The descriptions of the landscape is so vivid that you feel like you are looking at it too. I was given an ARC for an honest review and I loved it. This book is full of action, suspense, romance and family. Each book in this series has been great and is a stand alone. I recommend everyone of them. I have the whole set on my Kindle and in paperback and will be reading them again.
ARC for honest review with no compensation
Warrior’s Resolve is book 5 and the final book in the Iron Horse Legacy series…reading the prior books while each being a standalone there has been an underlying cliffhanger and this book will answer all the questions…
Molly McKinnon, the youngest and only daughter has been the one who stayed behind to help run the ranch while her four brothers left for the military. Now with everyone home and searching for their missing father it looks like maybe the kidnappers may take aim at another McKinnon…
Parker Bailey, former Air Force PJ came to Iron Horse Ranch after a medical discharge 5 years ago and took the job as ranch foreman and the job Molly coveted…
What happens next is to protect the McKinnons from further threats with the helps of the a Brotherhood Protectors (another awesome series by Ms. James), find and bring James McKinnon home safe and sound and resolve the heated chemistry between Molly and Parker so they can find their HEA!
Warrior’s Resolve is the fifth book in the Iron Horse Legacy series. It had plenty of action, suspense and danger. Parker and Molly were wonderful characters who made a great couple. I also loved catching up with the other family members from the previous books. Although, I am sad to see this series end, it was a perfect ending for this amazing series. I would definitely recommend this book and this amazing series.
This is the final book in the Iron Horse Legacy series and finally we get the one girl in the family’s story. There is the final explosive conclusion to the missing patriarch and a wrap up of all the boys stries
Molly was devastated that no matter how hard she worked her father never seemed to accept her as competent to run the family ranch even to the point that he brought Parker Bailey in to be the ranch foreman rather than letting her do the job. Parker is an ex para jumper who was hurt on his last assignment and he also lost those he was sent in to rescue he has trouble forgiving himself There is one other than he battles his attraction to his boss’s daughter because he knows that he would never be good enough for her. Now with the crooks who have James McKinnon getting ever more desperate they are looking for leverage against him putting Molly in danger he can no longer distance himself from her but in fact must stick by her side to keep her safe the only problem that is causing passion to flare between them Can they have a future together You will have to read to see
Whooeee, what an awesome book! Warrior’s Resolve is an outstanding romantic suspense by Elle James. Ms. James has once again proved her writing mojo is still with her. Warrior’s Resolve is a well-written book and I love the characters in this book. Parker became the ranch foreman for the Iron Horse Ranch after an injury caused him to leave the military. Molly is the youngest child of the McKinnon’s and the only daughter. She loves the ranch and is angry that she wasn’t made foreman. Molly and Parker’s story is loaded with drama, humor, action, steamy sex and suspense. I loved this book from start to finish and look forward to my next book by Elle James. Warrior’s Resolve is book 5 of the Iron Horse Legacy Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Prolific Works. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Warrior’s Resolve: Iron Horse Legacy Book #5
Elle James
Another great read about the strong McKinnon family as they search with the help of the Brotherhood Protectors for their missing father. This time Molly, the daughter, enlists the help of Parker Bailey, the foreman of the ranch, to find her father. Not knowing who is the enemy leads to many intense encounters as they work their way through a maze of dead ends. Strong will and determination leads to many surprises that in the end hopefully will solve everything.
Once again strong characters grab you and don’t let go until the last word.
Warrior’s Resolve is the 5th book in the Iron Horse Legacy series, and with this book Elle James has written the PERFECT conclusion to the series. Molly McKinnon, who is super feisty, is the only girl among her siblings and has worked on the ranch for the last 5-years as her brothers went off to serve in the military. Her father hired Parker Bailey, a former USAF Pararescue PJ, to be the foreman for the ranch, which Molly resented because she felt she could do it; meanwhile Parker was attracted to her, but thought “hands off the boss’s daughter”. While her brothers are home, as they investigate her father’s disappearance, she gets attacked and they assign Parker to be he bodyguard; not to mention Hank Patterson’s Brotherhood Protectors get involved also! Oh yes, this is an Elle James book so sparks fly – Molly doesn’t want a babysitter, plus they have big time chemistry, and people are attacking the family. I actually held my breath at times! This book was so good, I can’t wait to read it again!!!
