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?
Wow, what a ride! Oath of Honor lives up to its rating as romantic suspense, and the high-level tension keeps the pages turning as fast as possible. The whole St. John family is high-adrenaline, and Izzy’s determination to solve her partner’s murder puts her in danger again and again. The stakes raise even higher when family loyalty comes into question.
Ryan is just as resolved to solve the murder of his brother as Izzy, but neither expected sparks of attraction. As danger increases, his fears for her increase exponentially.
The faith element in Oath of Honor is subtle yet strong throughout the story. Just one warning: If you have high blood pressure, take this one slow! On the other hand, if you enjoy high-tension romantic suspense, you’ll love Oath of Honor. Recommended.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher, and it earns five stars.
