ARC REVIEW The Cost of Honor by Diana Munoz-Stewart

The Cost of Honor (Black Ops Confidential, #3)Black Ops Confidential #3, An absolutely gripping story, from start to finish it is unputdownable. Tony and Honor are great characters you really feel for them and root for them. I love how at the beginning of each of these books the Parrish Family always seems like it's bad but as the book goes own the perception of the family changes as the main character learns the truth. Tony faked his own death to avoid punishment for something he did and he thought he didn't deserve it, they memory wiped his sister and he didn't want those memories taken from him. So he's been sailing around his latest port is Dominica, a small island in the Caribbean, that's where he meets Honor.

Honor is the daughter of a movie star turned activist. Honor was looking for a distraction from the anniversary of her mother's death when she saw a kiteboarder wipe out. She was always the cautious one the safe one but when she saw the kiteboarder hit some rocks she didn't give a second thought to going in after him. Tony was instantly swept away by her but seeing that Tony Parrish was dead he told her he was Lazarus Graves, he even told her a half truth he was running away from family and had changed his name. Tony really should have kept on sailing but Honor asked a favor and he didn't want to let her down, he didn't want to leave her; it then became obvious that Honor was in trouble and needed his help and he really didn't want to leave her. By the time the family had tracked him down he was so in love with Honor and she was in so much danger he would risk getting caught by his sisters to save her.

Honor inherited her families cocoa farm, when she moved to the island after her mother died she decided to run an adventure tour on the cocoa farm. Someone has recently been trying to buy it she keeps refusing to sell and recently a series of accidents have her business being threatened. Tony is doing his best to help around with tours and teaching her self defence whenever they aren't having sex. Once they figure out what's happening and the threat has escalated Tony is willing to turn himself into the family just to safe Honor. 

Overall, I loved this read. It's a great series that you can read as a stand alone. There was probably more sex in this book than the others, so depending on if you like that or not, I found myself just skimming those parts after the third it just felt like filler after that. But the story was exciting and I love the Parrish family and Tony is so broken it was nice to see Honor not quite fix him but make face his past and the truth and turn out better for it. Honor is a great character she is so much stronger than she realizes. I can't wait for more, this series is awesome.

Emma Lange's "The Cost of Honor"
Cost of Honor - Emma Lange

Almost impossible to like or admire the hero of this book, unfortunately. He is a sullen, arrogant jerk and spends pretty much the entire book in the sulks because he decided to marry the girl he inadvertently raped, thinking she was a whore when he found her in his room. The heroine manages to stand up to him and her adversaries, such as his mistress, pretty effectively, though.

A story by Mary Balogh, The First Snowdrop, has similarities with this one in that the hero is forced to marry a girl he raped, thinking she was a servant who "wanted it", but in Balogh's story, the hero has to work very, very hard to redeem himself for his actions and his neglect of his wife after the marriage. In Lange's story, the happy ending comes on the same day that the "hero" has a tryst with his current mistress! I don't see much hope for the guy's redemption as a loving husband, which is too bad, because Julia is a very likeable heroine.
