Oath Of Honor By: Lynette Eason

Back of the Book

Police officer Isabelle St. John loves her crazy, loud, law-enforcement family. With three brothers and two sisters, she's never without someone to hang out with--or fight with. And she knows they'll be there for her when things get tough. Like when her partner is murdered and she barely escapes with her own life.

Determined to discover exactly what happened, Izzy's investigation sends her headfirst into a criminal organization, possibly with cops on the payroll--including someone from her own family. With her dead partner's handsome homicide detective brother Ryan shadowing her every move, Izzy's head is spinning. How can she secure justice for her partner when doing so could mean sending someone she loves to prison? And how will she guard her heart when the man she's had a secret crush on for years won't leave her side?

With her signature fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat action, Lynette Eason invites readers into a captivating new series where justice is a family affair.

My thoughts

Oath Of Honor is intense, with twist and turns only Lynette Eason can develop.  Isabelle and Ryan are fantastic characters and the perfect introduction into the Blue Justice series.  While many first books in a series seem to bombard you with character introductions over the first few chapters, Eason slowly introduces each character as their expertise is needed in the story.  Full of depth, passion and chilling intensity Oath Of Honor is a must read.

Troubled Waters By: Susan May Warren

Back of the Book

Billionaire Ian Shaw can have everything he wants--except a happy ending. Or at least that's what it feels like with his fortune recently liquidated, his niece, Esme, still missing, and the woman he loves refusing to speak to him. In fact, he doubts she would date him even if they were stranded on a deserted island.

Despite her love for Ian, Sierra Rose knows he has no room in his life for her as long as the mystery of his missing niece goes unsolved. The only problem is, Sierra has solved it, but a promise to Esme to keep her whereabouts secret has made it impossible to be around Ian.

When the PEAK chopper is damaged and Sierra lacks the funds to repair it, Ian offers a fundraising junket for large donors on his yacht in the Caribbean. But the three-day excursion turns into a nightmare when a rogue wave cripples the yacht and sends the passengers overboard. Shaken up and soaked to the bone, Ian finally has a chance to test his theory when he and Sierra do indeed find themselves washed up on a strange, empty shore.

It will take guts and gumption for the PEAK team to rescue the duo. But it will take a miracle to rescue Ian and Sierra's relationship.

My Thoughts

The much anticipated story between Ian and Sierra is finally here as the 4th installment in the Montana Rescue Series.  My first suggestion is to go back and have a little refresher on the characters from the last books because Troubled Waters just starts at a run and never slows down.  With twists and turns in so many relationships it was sometimes hard to keep up, yet I loved every page of it.  Sierra is still so loving and Ian is still trying to control the world. It makes you wonder if it will ever be possible for them to meet in the middle.  Loved, loved, loved this novel and so will you!!  Again, remember to refresh yourself before diving in and enjoy.
