Headstrong

What do you do when you have the headstrong daughter of the President of the United States and a headstrong head of her security detail? A lot of head butting and disagreeing, but the love the two characters have for each other overrides all others. This is again and action pack novel.

This is Bound to Please Readers

Secret Agent Cameron Roberts is responsible for the safety of the President's daughter. She takes her assignment very serious, indeed. The fact that she is romatically involved with the first daughter adds to her wanting Blair kept safe. Whether you read Radclyffe's series books or you read one of her stand-alone romances, you can not go wrong. I have been reading lesbian fiction for many years, and can honestly say that I have never come across a writer that has so affected me. Her characters are strong, intelligent, and romantic. Naysayers will say that Radclyffe's characters are too perfect almost never flawed - either in looks or character. That may be true, but aren't you tired of the genre's penchant for ordinary? Radclyffe's characters are always enchanting, intoxicating, enticing, and intense. The stories, particularly in the series books, are all first class. Most of her series books are page-turners. And in two of the books, I actually turned to the last page to make sure that the main characters survived - something I never do. Radclyffe let us believe, at least for the duration of each of her books, that the grand passion, the true love, the happy-ever-after are all possible. She lets us believe that being a strong, intelligent woman does not mean that we will be alone and/or isolated. The only caveat I have is to read the series books in order. And if you enjoy watching a writer grow, then read the non-series books in the order they were written and watch Radclyffe's talent grow before your very eyes.

Absolutely Amazing

Once again, Radclyffe delivers a phenomenal story. This second book in her Honor series can't be beat. In this reader's opinion, this is her best series and is best enjoyed in quick succession... Pick up all 5 books, start with the first and work your way through! In 'Honor Bound,' Secret Service Agent Cameron Roberts finds herself once again assigned to protect First Daughter Blair Powell. Blair is livid about this arrangement for several reasons. First, she doesn't want Cam protecting her because Cam almost died at the end of the last book. Secondly, Blair and Cam finally consummated their relationship after months of build-up... now with Cam as her security chief that relationship is once again put on hold. Cam has been brought in to work with the FBI in their quest to capture Lover Boy - Blair's stalker who shot Cam in 'Above All, Honor' and is still at large. Neither woman knows how to handle their feelings which conflict with their responsibilities. I freely admit Rad is my favorite, but this is genuinely a great book. I read a lot of lesbian fiction and, with the exception of book 5 which I've read once, have read and enjoyed this series three times. A must have. No collection of lesbian fiction is complete without this book.

A tale of the morning after...

In HONOR BOUND, Radclyffe continues the romantic saga of Cameron Roberts and Blair Powell, introduced in ABOVE ALL, HONOR. When Blair's stalker -- whose bullet nearly ended Cam's life -- resurfaces, the president himself recalls Cameron to her previous duty as commander of the Secret Service detail protecting the first daughter. Although she fears that Blair will never forgive her for once again putting her life on the line to protect Blair, Cam accepts the detail, only to find herself -- and Blair -- enmeshed in a tangle of inter-agency politics that place their lives, and their love, at risk.Radclyffe has rapidly become recognized as the most exciting, skilled, and erotic writer of lesbian romance of the new century. In HONOR BOUND, her first-ever sequel, she pushes the traditional bounds of romance fiction. Instead of ending the story with the lovers getting together, here she explores what happens the morning after: how do two strong women combine their very separate lives to build a life together? This story is brilliantly plotted, sizzlingly erotic, and romantic as only Radclyffe can conjure. Read it today -- and then continue the saga of Cam and Blair in LOVE & HONOR, the third book of the series.

Another great Radclyffe read!

I remain continually impressed by Radclyffe. This stands head and shoulders above many books I've found in this "genre."This is her first true sequel (I believe), and she handles it with ease. It's not redundant or forced but rather truely follows the continuing experiences of Cam and Blair.Her strong characterizations still power the storyline and spill over as some of the minor characters are further developed. It's quality storytelling that balances Action, Intrigue and Emotional honesty. While it can stand alone as an engrossing read, it's only ten times better if you've read "Above All, Honor."
