It may seem odd to seek peace by moving to a war-torn African country, but for medical missionary Dr. Cynthia Myers, it provided a way to escape a shallow life of unearned wealth, a philandering fiancé, and a father now square in the public eye as vice president of the United States. 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 a local warlord's mortally wounded son.
As part of the Army Special Forces "A-Team" on a mission to capture and subdue the warlord, Captain Rick Norton 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 hold on to her anger--but an unwanted 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.

MY THOUGHTS.....
Dr. Cynthia Myers wants to make a difference and she never knew that serving as a medical missionary could be so rewarding. She also never dreamed that it could be so dangerous and that she may need a Special Forces operation to save her life! Will Captain Rick Norton be able to protect her from African rebels?
Hallie Bridgeman is a 'new to me' author and I'm anxious to read more of her work! Her characters were engaging and well-developed, and the danger sometimes took my breath away. Cynthia and Rick appear as different as night and day, but they are both honorable people, and their attraction can't be denied. Honor Bound is filled with suspense and the author does a wonderful job of explaining some of the military tactics and maneuvers. It's realistic so there are disturbing topics of war, suffering, and death but there's also a strong message of faith woven into the engrossing plot. This is inspiring and exciting romantic suspense and I look forward to Word of Honor, the next book in Bridgeman's Love & Honor series.
I received a complimentary copy from Revell Reads but there was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
