Product Description

Product Description

Highly skilled Search and Rescue (SAR) team leader, Honor Mackenzie, works almost as
hard at guarding the dark secrets of her past as she does when training SAR dogs. As
for widowed Sun reporter Matt Phillips, not even his former SAR work is as
important as protecting his ten-year-old twin boys.  

When a jumbo
jet crashes outside Baltimore one cold night, their respective jobs put them face-to-face at the
grisly scene--and force Matt and Honor to reconsider the difficult decisions that resulted in
their long-standing "single forever" status.

As Matt tries to come to
terms with his feelings for Honor, he gets word that she hasn’t reported in since starting the
search for a missing child. Reverting to his SAR training, Matt leads the search team as
a vicious winter storm bears down on the area. Will he find her in time? And if he does, will
they find their way back to each other or go back to living life alone?


"Honor Redeemed takes readers into the challenging--and often
heartbreaking--world of emergency responders who enter disaster and find their lives and choices
irrevocably changed by it. A timely novel about the power of love in all its aspects." <br
/> --Susannah Charleson, author of Scent of the Missing: Love and Partnership with
a Search and Rescue Dog

2.0 out of 5 stars Well written but with an abrupt ending 27 Jan 2012
By Iola - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This is the second book in the First Responders series, following From Ashes to Honor: Book #1 in the First Responders series. If you liked the first book, I'm sure you will like this one, as it has the same excellent writing, and elements of the sub-plot carry on fron the first book. But if you are one of the readers (like me) who found that From Ashes to Honor ended too abruptly without sufficient resolution of the plot, then I imagine that you won't like this sequel either.

Honor Redeemed follows Honor Mackenzie, who trains search and rescue dogs, and Matt Phillips, a widower with two small children, employed as a newspaper reporter. The two meet and a relationship develops, but there are dark secrets in Honor's past which have not been dealt with that causes struggles for them both. Then (and this is a direct quote from the book blurb) "he's told Honor has disappeared during a rescue effort".

But this happens in the last quarter of the book. One of my pet hates is when the book blurb or title talks about something that doesn't happen until well into the book. How is it that a book review should not contain plot 'spoilers', but the advertising copy can? Again, this was a good story of a sweet relationship as it progressed, but parts of the story, especially towards the end, felt rushed, as though something was missing. We do find out Honor's dark secret at the end, and we don't get to see what will overcome it - at least not in this book.

Loree Lough is an excellent writer with engaging plots and likeable characters, and From Ashes to Honor was looking to be a solid four star plus read, until the end. It just finished. No happy ever after, no resolution of the main conflict, nothing. Honor Redeemed was the same, and I didn't like it. I admire Lough's desire to honour those who work in first response situations. But authors such as Dee Henderson, DiAnn Mills and Irene Hannon have written romantic suspense series covering similar professions, yet, in my opinion, were much more satisfying.

Thanks to Abingdon Press and NetGalley for providing free ebooks for review.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a sacrifice these First Responders give! 13 Feb 2012
By Katie McCurdy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Loree Lough has written over 70 books...but Honor Redeemed is the first one I've read by her. And I really enjoyed it! Honor's job of being part of a Search and Rescue team, and her and Matt's relationship to other First Responders, really intrigued me. What a sacrifice these people give--just to ensure that people in need have help as fast as humanly possible. Wow!

Out of the two main characters--Honor and Matt--I liked Matt the best. His witty comments and dialog were just so humorous, I chuckled aloud a few times. And his heroic desire to protect--rightfully earning him the nickname "Defender"--made his character really come alive. And Lough did a great job with Matt's twins, too. Those boys were something else!

In the first chapter there are two uses of the word "Oh my ***". Later on, it is used two more times, along with "Oh good L***". This really took me by surprise, for a Christian book to take the Lord's name in vain, and I admit I was uneasy about what else the book would contain. However, there weren't any other other curse words to be found in the rest of the book...I just really wished they hadn't been there in the first place.

The back of the book felt like it was stretching this about the actual book...the book seemed a lot more slow-paced then what the synopsis eluded to. And the end of the book felt a bit sudden--like everything happened at once, and then there wasn't complete closure. But since this is a series, maybe things will wrap up in the next addition. And while I haven't read the first book in the First Responder series, I never felt lost or confused about characters or events--Honor Redeemed does very well as a stand-alone novel. I have the first book on my Kindle, and know I will be picking it up sometime in the near future to read more about these character's history.

I reviewed this book for Abingdon Press Fiction via Pump Up Your Book. It was not required that I give a positive review, but solely to express my own thoughts and opinions of this book, which I have done.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sadly disappointed 24 Sep 2012
By Lvs2read - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really like this author but the abrupt ending and the fact there was no resolution made this a wasted read to me. I was really disappointed with this. It doesn't make me want to read the next one in the series. Even though this was free, I wouldn't "get" it again.
