Defending Honor by Lynette Eason and Kelly Underwood

 

Preston Whittaker walked away from his famous and affluent family several years ago. Now he feels he must go back as his father and brother have passed away. Was it an accident or were they targeted somehow? Whittaker aims to find out--and finds himself in danger. He hires Laila Rabbinowitz from the Elite Guardians as a bodyguard. 

In Defending Honor, Lynette Eason and Kelly Underwood write a truly suspenseful story full of twists and turns. There are also suspects all over the place. I was a long way into the book before I narrowed down my list to the actual killer. There was a lot of mystery to this book. 

I also enjoyed the romance that developed between Preston and Laila. . .They had some good talks and I liked that they worked on communication between them even though they did have some misunderstandings. I also felt the attraction and the chemistry. I also enjoyed that there were bits of humor interspersed within this relationship. I especially loved Laila's introduction of Preston to her class at the fitness center. I also liked how faith was a part of Preston's life and how Laila came to re-think faith on her own after he shared with her.

All in all, Defending Honor was a truly enjoyable romantic suspense book for me. It had all of the elements that I enjoy in a book of this type. I am looking forward to more books by Underwood and have been an Eason fan for some time.

I received a copy of this book through the publisher and JustRead Tours. All opinions within this review are my own.

  I think there has always been a lot of pressure on adults and children to "do" something big with their lives in the way of career. We do often ask children, What do you want to Do When you Grow up?" Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? by Paula Faris changes the tone and the outlook for children with this book. I am not sure I can begin to tell you how much I love this book, but I will try. Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? has beautiful bright illustrations. I also love that the illustrations are inclusive and show children of all colors, cultures and backgrounds. I think that background adds to the appeal of the book. This is a large children's book, measuring about 9 1/4 by 9 3/4 inches in size and 32 pages long. It is aimed at children ages four to eight but it really is a timeless message that could appeal to people of all ages.   Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up? features a girl named Lina who doesn't know what she wants to "be&quo
