As a police officer
in Table Rock, Oregon, Leah Radcliff puts her life on the line to help others
every day. But at home, Leah’s battling her own personal nightmare: Brad, her
abusive husband, a fellow officer, celebrated hero, and beloved son of a
powerful prominent family. Brad’s violent outbursts and suspicious activities
have left Leah physically and emotionally scarred, until one desperate action
to put a stop to his abuse results in deadly consequences.
Though public opinion seems ready to convict
Leah, Officer Clint Tanner is one of the few to believe she acted in
self-defense. As he works with Leah’s attorney to produce the evidence they
need, new truths about Brad’s dark side come to light—and reveal a deep-rooted
problem in Table Rock. There are some who have breached their sworn duty to
serve and protect . . . and they’ll do anything to keep their secret safe.

Thoughts:
Breach
of Honor by Janice Cantore starts with a domestic abuse case
and then moves into the heroine’s perspective. Leah Radcliff starts to show the
abuse she receives at the hand of her husband. In a last minute effort to stop
the abuse, Leah makes a decision that derails her entire future. But it was in
a good way. My favorite part of this whole story was watching God’s hand on
Leah’s life. To her, it appeared to be a dark place, but she finally learned,
with the help of others that God has always been there and guided every choice
to bring her to him. I loved this aspect. If only everyone, myself included,
could believe this. As for Clint Tanner, the hero, he is a believer, a cop, and
the number one cheerleader for Leah. What a great man of God! He would
definitely be someone women should hope would fall in love with them. A leader
who keeps both people focused on God. As for the suspense, it was not the
typical suspense novel. There was an inciting incident that jump starts the
novel. As the story progresses, there is threats on Leah’s life, but not as
drastic as a character who is running for her life. In the end, there is a
climactic moment and a show down, so it ends like one too. Overall, Breach of
Honor by Janice Cantore was a good look at God’s hand on the each person’s
life. I enjoyed reading this novel and cannot wait to see what else Cantore comes
up with.
I received a complimentary copy of Breach of Honor by Janice Cantore
from Tyndale Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.
