MY THOUGHTS.....
Wow! Author Kelly Underwood truly understands the concept of romantic suspense and she's teamed with Lynette Eason to write an amazing thriller that altered my pulse and kept me turning the pages! Defending Honor has a multi-layered plot, intriguing characters, and some tantalizing romantic chemistry between Laila Rabbinowitz and Preston Whittaker. They are complete opposites of each other and it's their differences that make them so special together! Past experiences have left Laila leery and unwilling to trust but Preston's troubled past has made him keenly aware of where his strength comes from. He has a deep trust in God, and he knows that his past failings and mistakes have been forgiven because of God's grace. Can Preston's witness of faith soften Laila's heart and convince her to trust both him and God? Will this Elite Guardians bodyguard successfully protect him, or will they both become targets of an unknown killer?
Defending Honor has several suspects, many questions, and numerous surprises but there's also a powerful faith message woven into this story. I highly recommend it to all who enjoy romantic suspense and I applaud Underwood's writing debut!
