Review – Oath of Honor

From the back cover: A murdered partner. A missing brother. Will Isabelle's silence protect those she loves . . . or delay justice? Police officer Isabelle St. John loves her crazy, loud, law-enforcement family. With three brothers and two sisters, she's never without someone to hang out with--or fight with. And she knows they'll be there for her when things get tough. Like when her partner is murdered and she barely escapes with her own life. Determined to discover exactly what happened, Izzy's investigation sends her headfirst into a criminal organization, possibly with cops on the payroll--including someone from her own family. With her dead partner's handsome homicide detective brother Ryan shadowing her every move, Izzy's head is spinning. How can she secure justice for her partner when doing so could mean sending someone she loves to prison? And how will she guard her heart when the man she's had a secret crush on for years won't leave her side? With her signature fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat action, Lynette Eason invites readers into a captivating new series where justice is a family affair. My thoughts: OATH OF HONOR is the first book of a new series by Lynette Eason. I absolutely LOVED this book.  Izzy is a sweetheart, smart, active,  and yet clueless in someways. Ryan is hurting so bad. He loves Izzy but her brother warned him away, and now he's lost his only two brothers -- both murdered -- and his whole family is walking through a fog. Izzy was there and witnessed the murder of Ryan's youngest brother, but she saw someone else whose presence there rocked her world. Why was he there? A blessing he was, because he saved her life, but still, he shouldn't have been there. OATH OF HONOR starts slow and kind of dragged about six or seven chapters, but then the action and suspense picked up and at carried the story. There is some sexual tension between Izzy and Ryan, lots of twists and turns and surprises, and a not real strong but still present faith message. OATH OF HONOR is one of the better Lynette Eason books I've read lately, and I highly recommend it. Don't miss this brilliant start to her new series.
