My review

4.5 out of 5 stars

Honor Reclaimed by Tonya Burrows is the enthralling military romantic suspense tale that continues the exciting and emotional ‘Hornet’ series that follows a group of highly trained men who each has a handicap to overcome even as they constantly become involved in highly risky operations.  Seth Harlan is struggling to become integrated in the HORNET organization but must deal with survivor’s guilt, the aftermath of his horrific experiences and the distrust of those who are unsure about his stability and dependability.  Phoebe Leighton has her own issues to overcome, including a guilty conscience, even as she becomes enmeshed in a struggle for women’s rights in a country devastated by its conflicts.  The other members of HORNET continue to deal with personal issues even as they discover that there is another of their military brethren caught in his own hell that they must come together to rescue, provided they, and he, can survive long enough to accomplish the mission.

This action-packed series continues, with tantalizing glimpses of the events that continue to hone all of these compelling warriors.  The remarkable blend of political and military machinations continue to complicate the lives and careers of the complex and sexy men who comprise this elite but dysfunctional cadre of fighters.  This author does such a wonderful job of penning an emotional tale with starkly horrific situations that highlight the courage and strength of her characters yet invest the reader with the desire to root for these sometimes literally tortured individuals.  The camaraderie and need for absolute trust in one another is underscored in these tales yet the inevitable human weakness is sensitively portrayed with sometimes very surprising developments.  Be forewarned, one is inexorably drawn into the world that these characters occupy until one is compelled to keep reading just to find out the outcome which can be somewhat distressingly realistic and it is possible to become so mesmerized that all other obligations are ignored...in other words, don’t start the story unless you have time to read it because you may find yourself very late for other commitments!

A copy of this very exciting story was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

Honor Reclaimed by Tonya Burrows (cover reveal and GIVEAWAY)

                                         



Honor Reclaimed
by 
Tonya Burrows
Release Date: 5/27/2014

Genre: Romantic Suspense










Synopsis: 

Former Marine scout sniper Seth Harlan is new to HORNET and anxious to prove he can still do his job despite an ongoing battle with PTSD. He remembers all too well what it's like to sit inside an enemy camp, praying for rescue and waiting for death. So when a black ops soldier contacts HORNET to rescue a buddy who was left behind, all sorts of nasty memories strain his newfound stability.
When an interview with a runaway Afghan child bride leads photojournalist Phoebe Leighton to an arms deal involving a suitcase bomb powerful enough to wipe out a mid-sized town, she realizes this is one battle she can't win on her own. Forming an unlikely alliance with a ragtag team of military and government delinquents, she meets Seth, a sniper carrying as many emotional scars as physical, who impresses her with his steely will and ignites passions within her she thought long dead.
Suddenly this mission is about a lot more than an abandoned soldier. Racing against the clock, Seth, Phoebe, and the rest of HORNET struggle to stop that bomb before it reaches its final destination: The United States.

Author info


Bio: Writing has always been my one true love. I wrote my first novel-length story in 8th grade and haven't put down my pen since. I received a B.A. in creative writing from SUNY Oswego and I'm now working on a MFA in popular fiction at Seton Hill University.
When I'm not writing, I spend my time reading, painting (badly), exploring new places, and enjoying time with my family. Give me a good horror movie over a chick flick any day. (And, let's be honest, I'll take a bad horror movie too!) I'm a geek at heart and pledge my avid TV fandom to Supernatural and Doctor Who. I'm also a big fan of The Voice. What can I say? Guilty pleasure.
I share my life with two dogs and a ginormous cat. I'm from a small town in Western New York, but I suffer from a bad case of wanderlust and usually end up moving someplace new every few years. Luckily, my animals are all excellent travel buddies.
