Secrets, Lies and Betrayals (Protect and Honor Series) by Lynn Wood – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Secrets, Lies and Betrayals by Lynn Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Secrets, Lies and Betrayals was a pretty packed book. It was not at all what I expected- I don’t typically read the synopsis of books, I go off the title and cover art. This book started out intense, then fell into a bit of a romance story, then ended intense again. It all came together nicely, but I was having a hard time matching the cover to what was going on- then it all falls into place about 3/4 of the way through the book. I see this is going to be a series, which I am happy for. But I am a little thrown off that its a first boo, and a Maxwell Cole novel. While Max did play a vital role, he was not the main character. Secondarily, I hoped the author built on the Conte more- I thought, and kind of hoped, the story would go his direction and turn into a bit of a mafia type story. But, I did enjoy it. I want to know more about Charlie. As it seemed like there was a backstory there, on how Lea knew him. So while I enjoyed the book a lot, there was a lot of dots that I felt weren’t connecting for me. Perhaps the next book will tie those up.
