Lynette Eason is one of my all-time favorite authors. I love the way she writes and her character development. She has done herself proud with Code of Valor, the third in the Blue Justice series demonstrates action/suspense at its finest.
Detective Brady St. John, residing at a family friend’s lake cottage, desperately needs a vacation. However, he hears a piercing scream which disrupts his peaceful setting. Managing to rescue the woman from her would-be killer, Brady determines to keep her safe—no matter the cost.
The rescued woman, Emily Chastain, trusts almost no one. She must go along with Brady, who saved her life, but what she doesn’t know about the killer and his rationale, may just yet kill her—and Brady.
The St. John family, a law enforcement featured in the earlier action/suspense Blue Justice books, all pull together to solve the mystery of Emily and to attempt to bring down a nefarious criminal. This book captured me from the onset. I love diving and Brady is on the police dive team. Emily, a feisty heroine who knows her own mind, keeps herself involved, unwilling to let strangers care for her safety.
Of course, romance follows. Brady is drawn to Emily and Emily to him. But he reels still from the betrayal of a former girlfriend. Because a man hurt her too in the past, Emily pushes away the feelings evoked by a total stranger. As a result, you’ll love this book–wanting to see the outcome. The twists and turns keep you guessing as to the outcomes. The ending, perfectly written, delighted both my romantic nature and my sense of justice. Five stars!
Lynette Eason is a prolific, many times-awarded author with five series to her credit along with several standalone books. She’s won three Carol Awards, the Selah Award, the Golden Scroll Award, and the Inspirational Reader’s Choice Award to name a few. She and her family live in South Carolina. She often travels (as a photograph) with her friends who call her “Flat Lynette” and take pictures of the picture as they travel to different places. Great sense of humor—great author.
Revell Books, a division of Baker Publishing gave me a copy of Code of Valor, but I was in no way obligated to write a review.
