MY REVIEW:
I don’t particularly like it when a character I’m beginning to like has to die but that happens early in “Oath of Honor”. The fact that he is not a faceless unknown brings the harsh reality to life with much more impact. I already had strong sympathy for law enforcement but getting into their heads in this book made it even more real to me.
I have long been a fan of Lynette Eason’s books since I first read some of her Love Inspired Suspense novels. Her talent has grown over the years and I MUST have every new book she publishes. “Oath of Honor” is a true gem with a brilliant plot that moves along at breakneck speed. Characters are well-rounded and easy to relate to. I’d actually like to know them but might be a bit nervous around them considering what happens to them in this book. The story is a perfect balance of action, danger, suspense, and romance with a touch of humor thrown in for good measure. The theme deals with the choices we make and how they affect our lives and the lives of others.
I enjoyed every minute of this page-turning suspense and cannot wait to see what the next installment will bring.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
A murdered partner. A missing brother. Will Isabelle’s silence protect those she loves . . . or delay justice?

With her dead partner’s brother Ryan, a handsome homicide detective, shadowing her every move, Izzy’s head is spinning.
