FBI Special Agent Lynda Culter 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 Thoughts:
Word of Honor
by Hallee Bridgeman had an interesting concept and suspense right from the
opening chapter. Readers will be delighted to see the innerworkings and the
laying of the plans and how they were going to intercorporate these elements
into their plan. The weapons used were interesting to follow also. While the
characters were uncover, they were trying to capture the bad guys, but the plot
featured a lot of planning and moving around behind the scenes. Not many
bullets flying or running from their lives. They visited a mosque three times a
day for prayer, noticed the participates, and then returned nicely to their
hotel rooms. If the characters are in a foreign country, eventually, something
should give them away. Enough to have them on a run as they try to sabotage and
capture the villains. On the other hand, the romance is between a pair of
people who were in a relationship ten years ago, and now must be in a
relationship again. Questions unanswered and emotions rekindled. Overall, Word
of Honor by Hallee Bridgeman was too slow for a romantic suspense for my
taste. I need more action.
I received a complimentary copy of Word of
Honor by Hallee Bridgeman from Revell Publishing, but the opinions stated
are all my own.
My Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Purchase Word of Honor
