Bound by honor...tempted by desire
California “Callie” St. John knows just how much one night of rebellion can cost. After narrowly escaping a car bombing, she is forced to acknowledge she needs a bodyguard, just not the one chosen for her. He pushes her buttons and forces his way past her defenses. While she fights to keep the secret that destroyed her family, she worries she's trusting her bodyguard more than she should.
Lieutenant James “Hawk” Hawkins, a member of a special ops unit of soldiers with extra-ordinary abilities, believes acting as a bodyguard to the daughter of one of DC's movers and shakers is a waste of his talents. But as he comes to know the woman behind the icy façade, he realizes she is more than she seems.
When a dangerous enemy from Hawk’s past targets Callie, he’s willing to risk everything to keep her safe. But succumbing to temptation isn't an option...no matter how much he wants to give in. Because secrets always come to light, and the past is never forgotten.
My Review
Honor Bound tells the story of Callie, a young woman who seems to live the perfect life. With her own flash apartment paid for by her father and a life of volunteering for charities, many would love to swap places. Unfortunately, things aren't as idyllic as they seem. Callie's father doesn't care about her and she's completely alone.
When Jimmy is assigned as her bodyguard, he doesn't like her to begin with, her ice queen exterior stops anyone from getting close. I loved seeing how this pair grew to trust one another as they spent more time together.
The story is a tense romantic suspense and I couldn't bring myself to put it down once I'd started. Callie faces danger at every turn. I loved the romance between these two, they were really well-suited and I enjoyed watching them grow closer as time went on.
This is the first in the Echo Company series and I'd be keen to read more. This is a great start to the series and one I recommend.
