It may seem odd to seek peace by moving to a war-torn African country, but for medical missionary Dr. Cynthia Myers, it provided a way to escape a shallow life of unearned wealth, a philandering fiancé, and a father now square in the public eye as vice president of the United States. At least here she knows her work and life have meaning. But all that is thrown into chaos when she fails to save the life of a local warlord’s mortally wounded son.
As part of the Army Special Forces “A-Team” on a mission to capture and subdue the warlord, Captain Rick Norton is compelled to use deadly force to save Cynthia’s life. Enraged at the violence she witnessed and riddled with guilt that men died because of her, Cynthia tries to hold on to her anger–but an unwanted attraction is taking hold.
With two members of his team badly injured and rebels in hot pursuit, Rick will have to draw upon all his strength and cunning to get her out alive . . . because he’s beginning to think they just might overcome their differences and be able to make a life together.

Summary
Honor Bound by Hallee Bridgeman is a military romantic suspense. This is my first book by this author and I will be reading more of her books for sure. The writing draws you in and writes outstanding nail biting scenes.
If Dr Cynthia gets on your nerves in the beginning give her time to grow on you. There are times she comes across as a spoiled brat. But she has a good heart.
Rick was a great hero and I loved him and his team. The author showed both the combat military side and how the adapt when they get stateside. I found some of her military explanations fascinating. She explained in the process of the story as to why they did some of the tactical things.
The suspense was spot on. I would definitely recommend this book especially if you enjoy military suspense.
Violence - it is military suspense; people are shot and some die
