Regaining Integrity (Code of Honor Book 4) by Brooke May – Review by Angela Shirley

Regaining Integrity by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Angelica Reece was a nerdy kid and at high school was never really in the popular group, although with a crush on the hottest boy in school who would never look at her one day that all changed. Angelica was asked to met Chase in the library and when she arrived, he stood there just as handsome as ever, but what happened after cemented itself in Angie’s head forever and has she really got over it all these years later.

Chase Thorne is back from his military service not quite sure where his place is but working on his family’s ranch is a good start, but when he goes to pick his nephew from school and see Miss Reece his teacher Chase is smitten and needs to get to know this woman better. As time goes on Chase starts flirting and every turn he is knocked down and dismissed, this has never happened to Chase, he has always had his pick of girls, but Angie is different and although deep down he has a feeling he knows her she is not giving anything away.

As Chase pursues Angie, the more Angie is grinding down until her best friends says why not go for the crush you had at school, so Angie throws caution to the wind and takes the leap into a relationship with Chase. Will he remember her from school and the humiliation her caused her or can Angie overcome it and find happiness?

I love this authors books and this one does not disappoint; the main and secondary character are always rich and enhance the story as it goes along. I loved the character of Angie who was so confident as she grown older but still had that fear from her childhood of rejection and then the utter understanding of Chase that if something is worth having it needs to be nurtured and grown not automatically expected. Overall, this was a fast-paced story with a lovely feel good factor and can’t wait to read more.
