Breach of Trust

by Kathi Oram Peterson

[sstaley]

Breach of Trust was gripping from the first three pages. Once you start reading this book, good luck putting it down. Sleep goes out the window as you become enthralled in the world of political conspiracy, blackmail and the ravages of war and PTSD.

This novel is about decorated war hero, Cooper Lane, who goes from happiness serving her country and marrying her husband Tom and giving birth to a baby daughter, to her life exploding in a ball of fire where she is presumed dead in Afghanistan. After living there four years under cover, saved by locals, she is rescued by Navy Seal Axe Talbot. Once she comes home she hopes for peace, but there won't be any of that for Cooper. One thing after another happens that drops Cooper and Axe into a series of threats and mysteries, where they only have days to solve the mayhem they've landed in.

I've read most of the books Kathi Oram Peterson has written and this book is one of the best. This tale is written with intense rounds of action and intrigue. The story is also brilliantly told in flashbacks from scenes of war and is woven into present day happenings. As Cooper and Axe try to figure out the messy business that has become her life, their feelings for each other come to the surface.

This novel will not only entertain you, but also pull you into the story and you'll feel like your watching a movie. The main characters are real and endearing and win you over from the start. Readers will be captivated until the last chapter as they, along with Cooper and Axe, try to unravel the great web of deceit found within the pages of Breach of Trust. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and happily give it 5 stars*****!
