Book cover

Title: A Question of Honor, Morgan's Mercenaries

Author: Lindsay McKenna, New York Times bestselling author

Read by: Johanna Parker

*****Book review*****

>Family Reputations<

I stumbled across this when looking for something to satisfy a book challenge. It turned out to be a pretty decent choice.

This was initially published more than three decades ago, and technology changes aside, the story still holds up. Kit Anderson and Noah Trayhern, Kit's new boss and roommate, have a rocky start with good chemistry.

Even though sparks fly, they're initially because Kit is battling misogyny from her new boss. I do like that she lets him know that she won't accept that from him. She's a fighter, but she's running out of steam after many years undercover. I do appreciate that he recognizes it and helps her let go.

The book doesn't consistently keep to a POV, switching between paragraphs on more than one occasion. I may not have gotten overly invested in the story, I liked it enough.

I borrowed the audio book. Johanna Parker is a good narrator, but a counterpart would've been nice. Maybe not practical with the POV situation, but.... 🤷‍♀️ 🎧💚🎧

Just a quick reminder that I'll be giving away an early North American paperback copy of Enchanting the Fae Queen in this weekend's newsletter! Subscribe now for a chace at winning it: stephanieburgis.com/newsletter #romancelandia

The illustrated cover for Enchanting the Fae Queen, by Stephanie Burgis, shows a mischievously grinning woman with long blonde curls, a moonstone crown, a pink dress and bare feet, sitting perched in a tree teasing the uniformed general who stands before her, his expression determined and one of his hands around her closest leg while she pokes his strong nose with one finger. Vines of leaves sweep magically out from the tree around her to draw him towards her. The tagline reads: All’s fae in love and war.
Around and beneath the cover image is this text, connected by arrows to different parts of the cover image: She's a scandalous seductress; he's famously moral, virtuous and chaste; “Yes, I may kill him, but I’ll kill anyone else who tries”; Enemies to lovers; preorder now.
