Seven years ago a woman with too many secrets and a man with too many lies fell in love. Then she left him.

Isabel's quiet life as an assistant to one of London's famous apothecaries hides a deadly secret. A secret that could see her put on trial for witchcraft if the authorities uncover the truth. But when the authority figure who turns up at her shop is Sir Nicholas Merritt, she's at risk of losing more than her life. She could lose her heart and soul, and the man she loves.

Royal spy Sir Nicholas Merritt can't believe his luck when he stumbles upon Isabel during an investigation. He's been searching for her for seven long years and now he has her again, in his bed and his life. Except she's resisting all the way. Worse still, she's somehow tangled up with a plot to assassinate the queen. To hold onto her this time, he must find out why she left him while hiding a secret of his own that could tear them apart forever.

Reviews for Honor Bound

[Xixteel Serratos López · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I read this book because the sequel had great reviews, but now I see why this one doesn’t have that good reviews. The story is nice, original and interesting as one would expect to having characters that are spies, murders and witches. The problem with the story is the idiocy that the author gave to the main female and male characters. One is supposed to be a proud empowered independent woman that has been hiding of her husband, but when she first sees him she wants to fuck him (yes, not make love, fuck him) with few words before the deed. The male character Is supposed to be a great spy that has his mind in his pants every time he sees her wife, and that as an achieved spy makes questions and investigates by telling everybody what he’s after or making obvious his endeavour. This is what makes this story moronic and boring at times, and the suspense can never sink because of it. Th topic is promising and you can have a nice read if you overlook this issues, but I’m not sure I’m convinced enough to read the sequel.
