Synopsis:
My life was just like any other girl’s until the Maxwell corporate
empire ruined my family and stole my future. I’d given up hoping to see
justice done, but then the way to right this wrong was dropped in my
lap. My job with an event planner can get me into the home of one of
Maxwell’s business partners. I can find evidence of what they did to my
father. I can make sure they pay.I wasn’t expecting Sebastian.Sebastian
has been hired for security, but he is also the son of the man I
despise. I should hate Sebastian purely on principle. I shouldn’t care
that he’s sweet and funny and sexy as hell. He’ll always be a Maxwell,
and that means he’s my enemy.
I can’t help but want him anyway.
He
seems to want me too, but only for a good time. He’s the son of
privilege, and he’ll never be serious about me. He’ll also never betray
his family. If he finds out what I’m really doing here, he’ll turn on me
in an instant. He’ll keep me from finding justice.
It’s just that I keep finding him instead.
Excerpt
One:
Feeling
pleased and victorious, I pushed the window up.
It
really wouldn’t be that hard for me to climb in inside.
I
stood for a minute, trying to decide whether I should do it or not.
No one was around. What harm could it do? If I was caught, I could
always say I was checking out the building for possible use in the
charity event.
It
wasn’t dangerous. And it would be a first step toward seeking
justice, restoring my family’s honor.
Feeling
a rush of determination, I leaned in and saw that the window opened
to what definitely looked like an office. My heart raced as I started
to climb inside.
“What
are you doing?”
I
froze, halfway in the window, when I heard the unexpected male voice
from behind me.
My
mind whirled with fear, embarrassment, and desperation as I tried to
remember the excuse I’d just thought up a minute ago.
This
wasn’t supposed to be happening.
I’d
started to ease myself down from the window, when I felt a pair of
strong hands on my waist. They startled me so much that I jerked and
turned around too quickly.
I
bumped my head on the window and stumbled into the man who was now
right behind me.
I
would have fallen had he not caught me. I found myself looking up at
the face of the best-looking man I’d ever seen in my life.
He
was about five or six inches taller than me, with a fine, athletic
body. He had vivid green eyes and strong features that were so
handsome they were startling. His expression was half-questioning and
half-amused as he gazed down at me.
“Ouch,”
I said stupidly, rubbing my head where I’d hit it on the window.
His
expression transformed to a full smile. “That’s what happens when
you try to climb in somewhere you don’t belong.”
Ridiculously—absolutely
ridiculously—I wanted to smile back. His expression was just so
warm and amused.
He
wore a pair of khakis and a black t-shirt, and I figured he must work
on the grounds somehow, since he seemed to belong here when I clearly
did not.
“I
wasn’t trying to climb in,” I lied, thinking as quickly as I
could. “I was just looking inside to see what was in there.”
“Why
would you need to see inside the guest cottage?”
A
guest cottage. Oh. That was what this this place was. Not a secret
office hideaway housing tempting secrets. Definitely not worth the
embarrassment of getting caught like this. “I didn’t know what it
was,” I said, speaking the truth in this at least. “I’m the
assistant of the event planner. I was just checking out what the
building was to see if we could use it somehow for the big charity
gala.”
The
man’s mouth tilted up slightly in one corner as his green eyes ran
up and down my body. His gaze looked appreciative—as if he liked
how I looked—so maybe he didn’t think I looked like a school
marm. “I guess you could use it for couples who want to sneak off
for sex. Maybe reserve it by the half-hour so you can offer it to as
many horny couples as possible.”
He
spoke with such a deadpan expression that it took me a minute to
realize he was joking. When I realized it, the clever humor hit me so
hard that I burst into laughter.
His
expression changed as he watched me, and I sobered, feeling suddenly
self-conscious.
Like
he could see me. All of me. Even the parts I didn’t want anyone
else to see.
Review by Gia:
Honor Bound is the second book in The Protectors series. The series follows four friends (all ex marines) after the their military experiences in over. The four of them, Sebastian, Declan, Levi, and Cole run a security company. Book one Duty Bound was Levi and Harper's story. Honor Bound is Sebastian and Ali's story.
Sebastian is from a family of wealth and power. He doesn't really like being associated with his family. As part of a security job he is hired to protect Ken Gentry, the COO of his father's company. He meets Ali while on the job. Ali has an ulterior motive for working at the Gentry house. She wants to take down Maxwell Enterprises.
Ali takes some convincing before she gives into Sebastian's advances. Just when you think everything is going to be good from them, Ali has some news to share with Sebastian. Both are angry at each other on how the other one handles the news. I could see it from both their prospective. I think they both acted appropriately for their characters.
I loved how everything comes together and there is no cliffhanger.

About Noelle Adams: Noelle
handwrote her first romance novel in a spiral-bound notebook when she
was twelve, and she hasn’t stopped writing since. She has lived in eight
different states and currently resides in Virginia, where she teaches
English, reads any book she can get her hands on, and offers tribute to a
very spoiled cocker spaniel.
She
loves travel, art, history, and ice cream. After spending far too many
years of her life in graduate school, she has decided to reorient her
priorities and focus on writing contemporary romances.
About Samantha Chase: Contemporary
romance writer Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan's
Return, in November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her 40's
to publish for the first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her
motivation to take that step was her students: teaching creative writing
to elementary age students all the way up through high school and
encouraging those students to follow their writing dreams gave Samantha
the confidence to take that step as well.
Her second book, a
holiday novella titled "The Christmas Cottage" hit #10 on Amazon's Best
Seller List on Christmas Eve. It was a great Christmas gift! Watching
the numbers rise and fall is a daily roller coaster ride but definitely
an exciting one! And on February 25th, she released the follow up
novella - "Ever After" - available exclusively on Amazon.When she's not working on a new story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, blogging, playing way too many games of Scrabble on Facebook and spending time with her husband of 23 years and their two sons in North Carolina.
