Secrets, Lies and Betrayals (Protect and Honor Series) by Lynn Wood – Review by Rebecca Hill

Secrets, Lies and Betrayals (Protect and Honor Series #1)Secrets, Lies and Betrayals by Lynn Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a story of Lea Manning’s personal growth through life’s trials, including depression and grief. The rawness and realness of her pain really resonated through me and gave the book a depth that can be hard to achieve. Lea was born Michaela Manning. Her grandfather was killed, and her mother later passed away too. Then she was hidden away from the public eye for fear of her safety. At times, in the beginning, the threat to her life seemed a bit unbelievable but that smoothed out further in the story. For the most part, the story was clean without steamy parts or language, and I found that quite refreshing. There was only one section that contained language which made sense for the character. I enjoyed the mystery of the story as well as following Lea on her journey. She had to find herself as we all must and learn to stand on her own two feet. The one thing I didn’t like was towards the end, her speeches felt very preachy on hot button topics. It seemed unnecessary and took away from an otherwise enjoyable book. I like how everything was wrapped up in the end and all the loose ends were taken care of. I look forward to reading more by this author.
