Regan Black is up to her old tricks, meaning a fabulous intrigue and a swoony romance, and such great writing! I don’t believe I’ve ever read a story quite like A SOLDIER’S HONOR, and it would make a terrific movie. I was on board right from Chapter 1, where the author cleanly established the suspense and the characters. I was ecstatic that this was far from your typical secret baby trope: Matt already knew he had a son. The reasons for Matt’s and Bethany’s estrangement, while heartbreaking, were logical, reasonable, and nothing like what we usually see. Regan Black can spin a suspense story with the best of them – and boy, that ending sure demonstrates that! – but the plot for A SOLDIER’S HONOR goes way beyond what we are used to in this genre, because of the sheer ingenuity and innovativeness. The romance is at the forefront, while the mystery ties everything together, and the whole is admirably well balanced.
