As everyone who reads my reviews knows, I only review books I can give four or five stars to and that KH LeMoyne is one of my favorite authors. She never disappoints.In DESTINY'S MARK (The Guardian of Eden, Book3), LeMoyne continues her batting of 100 as she beautifully combines romance and urban fantasy. The hero is one of my favorite Guardians, Tsu Halan, Guardian defense master. He's waited for centuries to find and fulfill the covenant's promise of a mate.Sidebar:  For the Guardians a mate shares his/her soul. With their mate, they can have children--who will become Guardians and fulfill their destiny. As LeMoyne says, "The only difference between fate and destiny is choice."Back to the story: The heroine is Jai Dashkov. Her story revolves around trying to find her daughter. As a teenager, she got pregnant. Her father, unknown to her, sold her daughter. She has spent all the years since working to earn enough money to hire the man her grandfather mentioned to find her daughter. Instead, she's mugged, the money stolen, and saved by Tsu and his sister--who is opening a refuge for abused women and hires Jai to help her.This book includes the illegal selling of children, then the hunt for these children, and sex trafficking that leaves you heartbroken. It also includes Jai gaining strength and self-confidence and finally the ability to let Tsu love her as only a Guardian can his mate. Gradually, Jai realizes that they are stronger than apart and Tsu will never stop at the hunt for her daughter.Alone, both Jai and Tsu are likeable characters. Together, they are wonderful and make one believe there are true soul mates for all of us.
