Emily Bybee delivers a gripping thriller that I really enjoyed.
Harper is an artist and computer science major just trying to live a normal life when she finds out that her brother Will, who is serving in the Delta Force, disappears. His last email to her is very suspicious, and before she knows it she is thrown into a world of government conspiracies, mercenaries and deep, dangerous secrets. Her only friend in digging down to the truth is her brother’s friend, Caleb.
The stakes are high and her odds to figure it out are low, but Harper is determined to get to the truth.
I would absolutely reccecomend this book to others. I picked it up at random due to its back jacket ; I can definitely say I was not disappointed. Bybee keeps her readers drawn in wanting to know what’s on the next page. I had a hard time putting it down. I enjoyed the storyline and thought the main characters were well written. I can’t wait to see what Byee comes up with next.

This novel is an intense adventure that uncovers a conspiracy with far-reaching fingers and deadly consequences. The trail leads from a greedy corporation right into the heart of Washington. I enjoyed the female lead character being a hacker and would have liked to see more of that. The art stuff was cool because I knew what the author was talking about. I liked the layers to the story.
This book was meant for me. I love conspiracy theories. She last heard from her brother via email and now he is missing. Harper decides to investigate. With Caleb’s her brother best friend and his coworker. He helps to find answers. Not letting their attraction to one another intervene in their mission to protect the world. Odds seem against them especially with mercenaries set to murder them.
This novel was everything I wanted; military, friends to lovers, and suspenseful. This was also very family oriented and I love a good book that is geared toward family. The main characters, Caleb and Harper, are both spunky and determined. Their personalities glow as they search for Will, Harper’s brother and Caleb’s best friend.
The only downside of this novel was I felt like there could have been more action. The plot was good, but it could have used a touch of surprise here and there. That is the only reason for 4 stars for me rather than 5. Otherwise it is a very quick read that will have you going “one more page” for hours on end.

I was drawn into The Taste of Treachery just from the cover art and title. I haven’t read anything by this author before, and didn’t really even read what the story was about. It was soooo good I didn’t want to put it down. I like that the character development was gradual and realistic. Both main characters Caleb and Harper were likeable. Harper has a history of anxiety and panic attacks, but is able to put them aside and be a baddy hero when needed. The ending tho, come on?! I was not happy with it at all- It didn’t provide the closure I needed.

There is everything to love about this book! First of all, it’s a military read and I love those! They are second in line to medical reads for me! Next, we have a suspenseful situation to deal with, followed with some romance to boot. There is also a female hacker, which is totally cool!
Super great read that will keep you wanting to read until you finish. Be warned, no breaks allowed while reading this one!

From the start of the book, it’s very entertaining and action-packed. Obviously, there is a backstory of the main character thrown in the mix of the present story to better understand her point of view throughout the story. Overall, the story is very well written and easy to follow. I do like how the author does put the enemy’s point of view at certain points in the story. It does make it easier to comprehend what’s going on with the enemy’s side.
The Taste of Treachery by Emily Bybee. This is such a good, fast paced thrilling mystery. Harper is a college, computer science student who is just trying to graduate. When her brother who is serving his country as a Delta Force member disappears she is going to have to use her skills to try and find him. Her brothers friend Caleb who is also a Delta Force member but he is recovering from a spinal injuries tries to help her all he can. Harper has struggled with her mental health for years was totally ignored when she went to the authorities for help about her brother. Caleb is doing everything he can to try to help her and they are also spending a lot of time together and there is a little romance blooming. As they work together they uncover all kinds of conspiracy theories, lies, deception and government mistrusts. Will Harper & Caleb be able to find her brother before its too late. Read this fast paced thriller to find out!
This was the first book I had picked up by this author, but the cover alone was incredibly intriguing. Once I read the synopsis, I knew I was in for quite a ride. I dove right in and lost myself in this gripping story that is packed with suspense! Harper is an incredible main character, and the chemistry between her and Caleb is magnificent. The author has created characters that you root for and feel their experiences as your own. Just when I thought I figured out what was happening, another twist was waiting around the corner! I couldn’t find one slow moment to put this book down, so I ended up reading the entire thing in a day. I don’t regret it, and I’d do it again! With this being the first book I had read by this author, it blew me away and set the bar pretty high for the next. I’m excited to see what they have in store for us next! If you enjoy the romantic suspense genre, don’t pass this up!
“ He cleared his throat and squirmed, not meeting my gaze in the reflection of the mirror. “I moved your, uh… bra… so I wouldn’t get it wet.” Blinking, my mouth dropped open while I watched this hulk of a man— a Delta Force operator, capable of taking out five men without breaking a sweat— grow uncomfortable because of my bra. I bit my lip to contain a laugh.”
Finally, I looked up to his face. “If I’d lost you,” I croaked, the meds loosening my tongue. Shaking his head, he held me at arm’s length and met my gaze. “I’m kind of like gum on your shoe— not that easy to get rid of.”
“I’m just wondering who exactly the enemy is.” He paused. “And if I’ve been fighting the wrong war all these years.” I laid a hand on his arm. “We knew when they ambushed us in the park there was a connection up the chain of command. The question is how high it goes.”
The Taste of Treachery by Emily Bybee is a gripping and suspenseful romantic suspense oozing with tension, intrigue, and mystery. I was drawn to this book by the gorgeous cover, diving in to find a story of corporate greed, dangerous experimental chemicals, government cover-ups, conspiracy, high stakes, and ruthless pursuit. Harper’s world is turned upside down when she receives a distress call from her brother who is serving in the armed forces overseas. His call is cut short- leaving Harper beside herself with worry- especially when he seems to drop off the face of the earth. Then she discovers an email sent by her brother that leads her on a dark and dangerous investigation in the hopes of finding him alive. With the help of her brother’s best friend, Caleb- these two are in for a tense adventure that uncovers a conspiracy with far-reaching and deadly consequences, and the trail leads from a greedy corporation right into the heart of Washington and the powerful movers and shakers who run the country. When Harper and Caleb are targeted by ruthless assassins, and the people around them start to become casualties, these two have no choice but to face danger head-on. What happens, you might ask? Well, this is definitely worth the read to find out all the intriguing developments for yourself. I was totally invested in this story and characters, both impressed by them, while also frustrated at times by their lack of logical thinking. Things like Harper having flaming-red hair, becoming a ‘wanted person’, but not once thinking to cover her hair, or dye it etc- just run around with a very identifiable feature for the assassins to follow. Also, she is a hacker- and yet for the majority of the story she did very little in the way of ‘hacking’. I would have had her hack her way into the corporation, the politicians, and any other relevant parties to get the dirty on them well and truly before everything got so out of hand lol…. But it did make for some tense encounters- so get set for a wild ride! Looking forward to more from Ms. Bybee. Happy Reading…

Harper is just trying to live her life , keep her nose clean and finish her studies as a computer science major and she’s a rather talented artist , talk about an all rounder ! Did I mention she’s a hacker 🤷♀️🥹
Her brother is serving the country , he’s a Drlta Force member and then he disappears 🤯but he sent her a mail and that’s where the plot thickens and keys just say not all conspiracy theories are theories , where there’s smoke there’s fire that’s for sure !
Caleb , hey brothers friend and fellow brother in atms is home recovering from s spinal injury and she turns to Caleb help find her brother and bring him home and I just want to add he’s more than easy on the eye 🥰🤣🙈
What really irked me is that most laughed her off because of her mental health history and while I hear their concerns I really felt their prejudice thank goodness for Caleb 🙏 also the things people will do for money and innocent lives have to pay the price makes my blood boil so this read isn’t so fictional because these things really do happen we just don’t hear of it, makes one think 🤔
I know they’re in for the fight if their lives but their hearts are also at stake and there was a good balance to keep me on my toes and my heart beating fast 🥰😉
Loved every minute of this read , be ready for a few twists though 🤔🥰

The Taste of Treachery by Emily Bybee was a fantastic romantic, military, suspense thriller, and thrill it did. Harper studied computer science which makes her a uniquely qualified candidate to handle a situation she finds her self in. When her brother disappears and no one is doing anything about it due to his past and mental health history she finds it’s up to herself and her brothers best friend to unravel this government conspiracy she suspects is going on. It’s full of twists, turns, manipulation, mystery, high stakes, and I couldn’t put it down.

Her only hope is her brother’s best friend and fellow Delta Force operator Caleb. Together they enter a world of secrets, mercenaries and guns. Having discovered that a chemical company is willing to poison the world for profit they find their lives in danger. Meanwhile they try to ignore their growing attraction and the chemistry between them. This fast paced story has plenty of plot twists which kept me guessing. The chemistry between Harper and Caleb really came across in the narrative. I found myself immersed in the storyline and invested in the outcome of the characters. An enjoyable and engaging read.

Harper is a brilliant hacker who is trying to walk the straight and narrow as a computer science major and artist. She never saw herself as an environmental activist or conspiracy theory nut. But when her brother who is serving overseas in Delta Force disappears, the last email from him pulls her into a world of secrets, mercenaries, and guns. Guns aimed at her. No one wants to listen to the ravings of a college student, much less one with a mental health history of severe anxiety.

Emily grew up loving to escape to the fantasy world in books. At the age of twelve, she began writing after having a series of extremely vivid dreams that begged to be made into a story. In high school and college Emily focused on science and graduated with a degree in environmental biology. After college she began writing again, but quickly realized she’d failed to take a single writing or grammar class. Luckily, she’s a quick learner. Emily now enjoys making up stories in genres from urban fantasy to romance to suspense and loves when she can add in a dash of science, just for fun.
