Book Overview
Captain Rick Norton and his Army Special Forces are on a mission to subdue Chukuwereije, a warlord terrorizing the villages in the jungles of Katangela, Africa, when their mission is interrupted to extract the daughter of America's vice president.
Dr. Cynthia Myers has used her medical mission in a remote village in Katangela to escape a shallow life of unearned wealth, a philandering fianc?, and a father now square in the public eye. At least here she knows her work and life have meaning. But all that is thrown into chaos when she fails to save the life of Chukuwereije's mortally wounded son and becomes a target for the warlord's revenge.
Rick is compelled to use deadly force to save Cynthia's life. Enraged at the violence she witnessed and riddled with guilt that men died because of her, Cynthia tries to hang on to her anger--but an unexpected attraction is taking hold.
With two members of his team badly injured and rebels in hot pursuit, Rick will have to draw upon all his strength and cunning to get her out alive . . . because he's beginning to think they just might overcome their differences and be able to make a life together.

Action-Packed
Published by Kim Potter , 2 years ago
Honor Bound by Hallee Bridgeman is the first book in her Love & Honor series. Medical missionary, Dr. Cynthia Myers moves to Africa to seek meaning for her life. Failing to save the life of the warlord’s son, her life is now in danger. Army Special Forces Captain, Rick Norton must rescue Cynthia without getting his team killed. This was a great beginning to the series. The action was non-stop. The camaraderie between the team members was admirable. I can’t wait to see where this series goes from here.
I received this book from the publisher for my honest review.
fast-paced military action and tender romance
Published by MJSH , 2 years ago
This is my first book by Hallee Bridgeman and it surely will not be last. The author has an intense and incredible way of fusing military action and adrenaline with tender romance to create a fast-paced, cannot-put-down story. I have not read a romantic suspense before that front-loads the action at the beginning of the book and then moves on to character and romance development in the second half of the book, but it works really well for this particular book.
I loved Rick, the captain of the special op unit. He's a soldier, protector, and guardian through and through and his big heart and bigger loyalty to his team and Cynthia made him a fantastic hero. Cynthia was a bit harder to get to know but once she opened up to Rick, her tender, compassionate, but often stubborn, heart was easy to see and admire. Rick and Cynthia's unwavering faith, even in the midst of physical and emotional turmoil, was inspirational.
I can't wait to read the next books in the series to find out more about Bill and Ozzy, two of the team members who have prominent roles in this book. I received the book from the publisher via NetGalley and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
