Editorial Review: Book Description: A fast-paced romance shot-through with danger, passion, and excitement. First Daughter Blair Powell and her lover Cameron Roberts, newly appointed deputy director of the Homeland Security Office, escape to a ski chalet in the Rockies after a harrowing attack by members of a domestic terrorism organization. However, Blair and Cam come under fire both publicly and privately when the media spotlights their plans to wed and an old nemesis resurfaces to threaten their lives. With the nation under attack, the world on the verge of war, and their personal lives the focus of intense public scrutiny, Cam and Blair struggle to preserve what matters most--their love.

 Rating:  - Oops (or duh!) - Read last one first!I obviously did the reading backwards - still.... While looking for something to read after plowing through I don't know how many books - I stumbled across this one. Needless to say, I have since ordered the remaining six in the series. I more than thoroughly enjoyed this reading -the characters, the plot, the dialogue and so on. Enough so that it has prompted me to write a review, which I never do or have done. What impressed me most was the tenderness shared between the characters, those involved, and those not. I have read some reviews that say the relationships are a bit unrealistic... Reading is an escape, a fantasy, a learning tool, whatever. If I wanted reality all the time, I wouldn't be buried in a book! I ... Read More: Rating: - Great Book! I have really enjoyed reading the Honor series and was super excited when Word of Honor came out. It did not disappoint! Although the story does seem a little repetitive at times, it is well written and shows excellent character development. I love this series because I love reading about Blair/Cameron and Stark/Savvard's growing relationships. Who doesn't love a good romance? Now I have to wait for the next one! Rating:  - Word Of HonorI was so looking forward to this new arc into the lives of Cam and Blair and hoping this is where Cam gets to be the great agent she is supposed to be and bring down the bad guy. Disappointed again. She's turned Cameron into a whimp who cowtows to Blair. I'm ashamed to say Radclyffe has turn the series from suspense to smut. She has lost her objective of the secret service agents, which is to get the bad guy, not jump each others bones every five seconds. And another thing, this story was so short it was more like a school essay than a novel. I'm tired of these writer's getting away with less than 300 pages and some of the pages are blank. Here it is, you wait for almost a whole year for the sequel and its over in two days. I hope this is the ... Read More: Rating: - Another Exciting Novel by RadclyffeThere are so many wonderful characters in WORD OF HONOR. Radclyffe did a great job developing Cam and Blair's entourage. I love the way these women all support each other. Even if one messes up, the others are there to pick up the slack. I Like how Rad develops the mysterious Valerie and the OH SO FINE newcomer, Dana. The interaction between the news reporter, Dana, and the alluring scientist, Emory, is done flawlessly. There is always something happening in this novel - some new event to wonder about. Yes, it IS fast paced! The adrenalin rushes as Rad describes the enemy and brings the reader into his 'camp'. If reading about powerful women trying to find the enemy isn't ... Read More: Rating:  - Good but not as engrossing as other books in the seriesI think Rad has mined the last gold from these characters. I'm glad she tied up most of the loose ends, but if there is another book, I think it will be one book too many. I found myself thinking that the protective arm of the Secret Service is seldom called to fire their guns in this country (much less every six months). The problem with writing fiction that parallels contemporary happenings is that it is difficult to do it without treading on reality and putting some of what we wish will/had happpened in the fiction. It is another good read, but I'm glad the series seems to be at an end. Yes, I know that there are other stories that could be told because she has so many characters that we care about, but for the nonce they should be allowed ... Read More: |
