Editoral Review
Extreme Honor by Piper J. Drake is a thrilling military romance that was first published on January 26, 2016.
With her extensive background in the military, Drake brings a level of authenticity to her work that other authors in the genre may lack. In this novel, she provides readers with a glimpse into the dangerous world of covert military operations and the people who are called upon to carry out these missions.
The story follows the main character, Honor, who is a highly trained military dog handler. After a terrorist attack on American soil, Honor is recruited to work with top-secret organization, the JIN, to take out a group of extremists who are planning another attack.
Along the way, she teams up with former marine and elite member of the JIN, Cajun, and the two develop a powerful bond that leads to both heart-stopping action and steamy romance. One of the strengths of Extreme Honor is the way that Drake is able to create a sense of tension and danger throughout the novel.
From the opening scene, where Honor is called upon to protect a group of children from a bomb threat, to the final showdown with the terrorists, the reader is kept on the edge of their seat. The action is fast-paced, and the characters are constantly facing new obstacles, which keeps the plot moving forward in an engaging way.
In addition to the action, the romance between Honor and Cajun is another standout feature of the novel. Their relationship is developed slowly, which makes it all the more satisfying when they finally give in to their feelings.
Drake does an excellent job of balancing their attraction to each other with the danger that they are facing, and the chemistry between the two is palpable. However, there are some flaws to Extreme Honor.
Some readers may find that the plot is predictable, especially if they are familiar with the military romance genre. Additionally, some of the secondary characters are not as well-developed as they could be, which can make it difficult to become emotionally invested in their fates.
Despite these flaws, Extreme Honor is a well-written and engaging novel. Piper J.
Drake’s background in the military gives her work an authenticity that cannot be found elsewhere, and her ability to craft a story that is both action-packed and romantic is impressive. Fans of military romance will find much to enjoy in this novel.
Overall, Extreme Honor is a great choice for readers who are looking for a thrilling military romance. With its realistic portrayal of covert military operations and its steamy romance, it is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seat.
