Honor’s Refuge

By Hallee Bridgeman

MY REVIEW

This is a fantastic book with great characters, wonderful storyline, and a good faith theme. This entire series has been so good, and the author definitely does not disappoint on the last book of the three.

I am handicapped myself with difficulty walking among other things. It takes time, soul searching, and trusting God knows best to accept God’s story for one’s life with the understanding that God will get you through…and joy is definitely possible! The entire process is a learning one. Phil goes through a lot in this book; but with God working in his life, he comes to see what is important. The faith theme through this character is such a good one.

Two of his buddies, from the first book, show up for a short while to help, but this is mostly Phil’s story.

The female character is perfect to help Phil fully accept who he is, and what he needs to be whole.

The storyline is a good one with a lot of suspense, love both characters, and I really think my favorite part of the book is the faith theme. It is very well woven into the story and very powerful. 

All three of these books will be on my forever shelves, and I am hoping for more from this author. I’m also thankful that they were published so close together. It made it easier for me to follow as I have a very bad short term memory. This series is just incredibly well done.

Word of Honor

By Hallee Bridgeman

MY REVIEW

Terrific story! I really enjoy the characters in this book. This book can be read on its own, but you will get much more from the book if you read the previous novel.

The character cast is terrific. I enjoyed the characters from the previous book as well as the main characters in this read. They are fleshed out well, and the reader really gets to know them well. 

The suspense story is fascinating, and it keeps the reader turning the pages. There is much to determine, and the reader gets all kinds of twists and turns as they get more facts. Going undercover is a fascinating tale, and the details are wonderful.

I really enjoyed the strong faith theme in this book. That always makes a book far more worth reading. It was well done and easily woven into the storyline. I think I liked this one better than the first, which is rare.

With a wonderful suspense storyline, fascinating characters, and an incredibly well done faith theme- the reader gets a terrific journey! Highly recommended!

Honor Bound

By Hallee Bridgeman

MY REVIEW

I have always enjoyed the books I’ve read by this author. This one was no different. I really liked the details and thoughts that give the reader a better perspective on military life. The romance was well done in this story…not overdone. There was more to the relationship than tingles and cuteness. That’s a big positive for me as a reader.

The characters were well done. I really felt as if I knew them, especially the two main characters. The crew made it fun and witty at times, and I’m looking forward to the sequel.

The faith thread was strong and had elements in it that are so frequently missing in books- praying for one’s food, church attendance, and doing what God has in mind. I’ve read books about Christian people where prayer and church are completely absent, and that always bothers me. I really liked the faith thread.

Wonderful characters, terrific storyline, military action, and a very well done faith thread all combine to produce a very much enjoyed novel.

Deception

By Patricia Bradley

MY REVIEW

An incredibly fast paced suspense read. There is a lot going on in this novel-many paths to follow and many surprises.

The main characters, Madison and Clayton, are both well done. I liked both the main characters which is not always true. There are far too many surprises waiting for these two it is rather unbelievable that they are all contained in one novel. Both characters are like-able and good at their jobs.

Some inspirational elements in this book. Trust being a huge one for the female lead character as well as giving a second chance. This book really helped open my eyes to the struggles of an addict. I had never seen it so well written. I know several, and I think this fiction more than any other read presents the addiction as just a way of life. The way it is done it helped me to understand better how difficult it is to leave the addiction behind. Certain scenes in this book still come to mind as I am writing this. It was incredibly well done. The faith theme is an intricate part of the story.

The author keeps the reader on the edge of the seat for this one. There are so many twists and turns. It is a well done mystery/suspense read that just might keep the reader awake far past a persons bedtime. Well worth it, too.

Life Flight

Lynette Eason

MY REVIEW

This book grabs the readers attention from the very first line, and you are pulled into the story and cannot let go! The storyline is very engaging with twists and turns to keep one guessing. The faith theme is easily woven into the storyline and very well done. The romance is there, but it doesn’t overtake the book ( which is what I really like.)

The characters are very interesting and well done. I enjoyed the main characters as well as the secondary. It was a great start to a series.

I really enjoyed this novel. It was so intriguing right to the very end, and I lost some sleep in getting to the end as the author does a fabulous job of keeping the pace and the suspense at the right level throughout the book. I thoroughly enjoyed this suspense read…and recommend it! I received this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Lights Out

Natalie Walters

MY REVIEW

This was a terrific international spy type story. I love the characters, and I always enjoy when the team is kind of like a family. The witty banter and fun scenes always pull me in as a reader. Each character has their strange and fun quirks giving the book a bit of levity during the intense suspense.

This had a nice faith theme as well. It worked well in the story and was a natural part of the novel. If you like romantic suspense, then this book gives that to you plenty to make you happy. I kinda felt like a bit of the romance took away from the pace of the suspense. Some of the scenes were meant to portray the importance of balance and trusting that God ultimately was in control. I really liked that about this read. That is a rare thing to find in a suspense read.

I really enjoyed this novel. It was my first by this author…I plan on getting my hands on more!

The Chase

By Lisa Harris

MY REVIEW

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were very well done, the storyline engaging, the setting was great, and the faith theme was very well intricately woven as a natural part of the storyline. I really like friends to lover stories as they seem so much more natural.

The pace was good and well laid out. I had not read the previous book, but I hope to do so. I was able to read this one just fine as a stand alone novel. I really enjoy this authors books! There is a lot of action and fast paced scenes. If you enjoy suspense or mystery that are clean reads, you definitely do not want to miss this one.

Cold Case Trail

By Sharee Stover

MY REVIEW

This was a terrific read! As always, this author engages the reader in the plot of the story and the wonderful characters. This story has a bonus in the side kick being a dog. 

I learned many things I did not know about K 9 units that was quite fascinating. I will not share that here…read the book! I read it in one sitting. It is one of those books that the pace keeps moving and I just did not want to put it down. 

The plot was a good one, the characters wonderful ( my favorite obviously being the dog), and the mystery/suspense was intriguing. Another terrific story from this author!

Power Play

By Rachel Dylan

MY REVIEW

This is the final book in the Capital Intrigue series. I enjoyed this book. The reader follows a main character and a secondary character. I enjoyed both stories. The characters in this series were really good. This was a good conclusion to the group of friends and their different jobs.

The plot and storyline were definitely engaging, the characters were great, and the action in the story really keeps the reader engaged. 

I also enjoyed the faith theme that was done so well in the story. It was an intricate part of the story well woven into the plot. Rachel Dylan has become a must read author for me in the mystery/suspense category. 

This series was incredibly well written so do yourself a favor and get your hands on all three!

The Paris Betrayal

By James R. Hannibal

MY REVIEW

The fantastic plot, wonderful characters, and well – paced story make for a read that is hard to put down! 

I enjoyed the banter between characters and the characters themselves. This author always has fascinating characters in his stories. This book is no different. It doesn’t lay them out quite the same as previous stories, but the plot doesn’t make that possible. It’s pretty much about one guy.

My daughter and I are currently studying Job so it was easy to see the allegorical details in relation to the book of Job.

The plot of the story is fascinating…never read a story quite like it. I had originally given it four stars, but the moral that is taught here kept coming to mind as did several of the predicaments in which Ben found himself . If a book is closed, yet it still remains with me, then I can’t help but rate it well. This book did that for me. Highly enjoyable, some surprises, and great dialogue makes this book a winner. Do not miss it…or the other books by this author!
