Review: Honor's Refuge by Hallee Bridgeman

Honor's Refuge by Hallee Bridgeman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb:

When she was just five years old, Melissa Braxton watched her father take her mother's life. Separated from her sister, Lola, at that time, Melissa grew up with a strong desire to help those stuck in abusive relationships. It's why she became a family therapist and opened a domestic abuse shelter.

After losing a leg to a gunshot wound in the line of duty, Phil Osbourne has felt like a man without a purpose--until he hears Melissa's story and decides to use his Special Forces contacts to track down her missing sister. He knows what he discovers will break Melissa's heart. What he doesn't realize is that helping the women reunite will bring the cartel down on them like the Category 5 hurricane striking Miami.

Bruised yet not quite broken, Melissa and Phil battle the storm and the cartel, calling on strength they didn't know they had to escape death, save the innocent, and--just maybe--find healing in each other's arms.


My Review:

I have had the pleasure of reading the first two books from the Love and Honor series, Honor Bound and Word of Honor. I was excited to find out what Hallee Bridgeman had in store for her characters in the third installment, Honor's Refuge. Oh my goodness, I was not prepared how much more I would love this one. It is not one that I could have easily predicted. There were a lot of twists and turns that made my head spin at times. I was intrigued with Melissa and Phil and admired their bravery and determination. I wanted to keep reading to see how it would end for them and see if they would find the peace and healing that they seek.

I am giving Honor’s Refuge five stars. Lovers of romantic suspense will most definitely want to read this one, as well as, the others from the Love and Honor series.

I received a paperback copy of Honor's Refuge from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

Review: Word of Honor by Hallee Bridgeman

Word of Honor by Hallee Bridgeman 

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb: 

FBI Special Agent Lynda Cutler is investigating an ecoterrorist organization in the Alaskan wilderness when her partner is taken captive and murdered before her very eyes. The only person who can identify the key players, Lynda gets assigned to take part in a joint operation in Istanbul to take the organization down.

As a woman in a Muslim country, she'll find it much easier to move around undetected with a fake husband. Unfortunately for her, the man assigned to play the role is none other than US Army weapons specialist Bill Sanders--the man who crushed her heart into a million pieces back in college.

With a cargo bay's worth of hurt and baggage between them, these two consummate professionals must play their parts perfectly if they hope to stop those responsible for bombing oil pipelines, killing innocent civilians, and threatening to destabilize the oil markets. But love long buried has a way of resurfacing at the most inopportune times--and protecting Lynda has become Bill's primary focus.

My Review:

I really enjoyed reading the first book from the Love and Honor series by Hallee Brideman, Honor Bound, and was excited to have the opportunity to read the second installment, Word of Honor. I was not disappointed. I was quickly caught up in Lynda and Bill’s thrilling roller coaster ride of a story. My attention was right from the start and stayed that way until I was completely finished reading with the last page. I thought it was great way to spend a nice fall day on the deck.

Word of Honor is definitely a five star read to me. I believe fans of clean romantic suspense will enjoy it as much as me. I am eagerly waiting to read the third book from the Love and Honor series, Honor’s Refuge.

Review: Honor Bound by Hallee Bridgeman

Honor Bound by Hallee Bridgeman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb: 

It may seem odd to seek peace by moving to a war-torn African country, but for medical missionary Dr. Cynthia Myers, it provided a way to escape a shallow life of unearned wealth, a philandering fiance, and a father now square in the public eye as vice president of the United States. At least here she knows her work and life have meaning. But all that is thrown into chaos when she fails to save the life of a local warlord's mortally wounded son.

As part of the Army Special Forces "A-Team" on a mission to capture and subdue the warlord, Captain Rick Norton is compelled to use deadly force to save Cynthia's life. Enraged at the violence she witnessed and riddled with guilt that men died because of her, Cynthia tries to hold on to her anger--but an unwanted attraction is taking hold.

With two members of his team badly injured and rebels in hot pursuit, Rick will have to draw upon all his strength and cunning to get her out alive . . . because he's beginning to think they just might overcome their differences and be able to make a life together. 

My Review: 

Honor Bound is a wonderful start to Hallee Bridgeman’s Love and Honor series. I have enjoyed her previous books and this one is my new favorite. I adored the characters Cynthia and Rick and thought they were a great duo. There was a lot of action, suspense, and mystery that I had me engaged from start to finish. It was a great mix that made me to keep reading until I read the very last page. I loved it!

Honor Bound is getting five stars from me. I am eagerly awaiting the release of book two from the Love and Honor series, Word of Honor, to see what happens next in the series. I believe fans of clean romantic suspense will not miss reading this one.
