First off, I want to make sure that it is clear that these are my thoughts and my thoughts alone. These books are not for me personally, though you may enjoy them. I do not say these things to hurt, attack, or offend the author, potential readers, or those who have enjoyed these books.
That said, here are my reviews of Honor Bound and Word of Honor.
Honor Bound
Okay, okay, I was going to lose it with this book... I liked it well enough in the beginning, I suppose. But!!! A pet peeve of mine?! Is when the heroine scoffs at the mindset of a military man and has a disdain for the very things that make him a good soldier, the fact that he would use a gun to protect the innocent. I highly dislike when a woman is so... Stupid, I suppose is a word to use when she thinks all military men are killers and bring violence. It's just sheesh stupidity to think that especially when faced with warlords and such overseas. So, yeah... I did not like the start of the book and that took a good bit off of the rating.
Updating on what I've already written... I did not finish. I can't I'm not sorry (sorry. ;)) and I do not understand the hype around this book.
I regret requesting to review the second one and I am not sure how my review of it is going but after about 25% of this book and my attention not staying on what I'm reading, content that is seriously annoying the heck out of me, and the just.... UGH, wrong mindset from the heroine, whose-name-i-don't-remember, I just couldn't do it, so I checked other reviews and none of them encouraged me personally to finish reading this one.
I honestly, and I am sorry here, don't understand how it was published from Revell with the slow pace, repetitive thoughts, and the lack of spark between the lead characters in what is supposed to be a romance, I also found the lack of faith and just prayers thrown with great whining to be quite enough that I wouldn't read Mrs. Bridgeman's books again if I didn't have the second book to review.
This was quite a disappointing read, sadly.
Word of Honor
I'm broken hearted... This series did not turn out at all like I hoped.
I did not finish either the first book, Honor Bound, or the second book, Word of Honor... There are just too many inconsistencies, a lack of depth to the characters, slow pacing, repetitiveness, and I just did not find the books worth finishing when I could not get past the first 30% of either book. I’m highly disappointed as I had great hopes for this series… I am not likely to read this author’s work again.
I voluntarily received and reviewed a complimentary ebook or physical copy of this book which I received from the author and/or publisher or blog tour coordinator All views expressed are only my honest opinion and are in no way influenced by others' views or wishes.
Those are my reviews. But! I am only one person, you may find these to be books you like yourself so I suggest you make sure to read others reviews and check the books out if they sound like something you would enjoy.
Find the books here.
Now, I'm hoping to share more reviews in December... Of some romances, a few other books, a series of Christmas reviews, but I don't know if that will happen for sure... But I would love for you to share your favorite Christmas reads so be sure to drop me a line in the comments!
See ya, later, booknerds!
