The rustic mountain town of Golden, Georgia, is the ideal place for crime scene investigator Deke Matthews to heal after a tragedy left him questioning everything. But there’s another reason he’s here, and moonlighting as an adventure guide provides the perfect cover. It doesn’t include falling for his boss.

My Thoughts
His
Honor, Her Family is a well-written romance with lots of character
depth, and I enjoyed it very much. This story stands alone, although there’s
another book in the series that I’m eager to read.
Setting is a strong element, for it just happens to
take place in my state, and the small-town north Georgia area of Golden came
alive. Grace’s family business of outdoor activity tours allowed for some vivid
nature scenes.
The lead characters of Grace and Deke are
realistically drawn with flaws and are easy to connect with. Past events in
Deke’s law-enforcement career had left him questioning his work and even life
in general. Grace, who has a strong drive to control, finds herself in over her
head in taking care of her mother, working to save the family business, and trying
to repair strained relationships. The chemistry between these two is strong,
with some great kissing scenes.
My favorite element was the relationship drama within
Grace’s family, fueled by the dad’s criminal behavior and neglect, and guilt
over being the cause of his capture. Most troubling, however, is the negative way
Grace’s controlling nature affects her mom and siblings … very true to life. As
the sweet relationship between Deke and Grace grows, it’s easy to see how good
they are together, and that Grace had touched the empty places inside of him.
There’s room for more development in Deke and Grace’s
story, as well in each of their families – not to mention another Matthews
brother or two. Hopeful for more stories in this series!
Recommended.
