Red Team #3
Honor Unraveled
Love Isn’t a Battle…
Kit Bolanger, ex-spec ops soldier, has followed the trail of an international drug lord back to his childhood town, the one place he swore never return to. He and his team of terrorist hunters are the only thing standing between the town’s residents and the evil threatening them. It doesn’t help to know that she’s here—the woman who betrayed his trust and shredded his heart.
…It’s a War and He’s Offering No Quarter
Deciding to put roots down, Ivy Banks has brought her daughter home to the sleepy ranching community of Wolf Creek Bend, Wyoming—the one place where she was certain she’d never run into her high school flame. But he’s back, fighting a global enemy and home-grown terrorists in a hidden war that puts their lives and their hearts in jeopardy. He was bad news in high school, and he’s even worse news now.
Surrendering to him is not an option…but it’s the only thing he’ll accept.

About the author
Elaine Levine
38 books527 followers"Elaine Levine is a wonderfully fresh and original voice in western romance.
RACHEL AND THE HIRED GUN is full of fast-paced action and powerful emotions. I loved it!"
-- Joan Johnston, New York Times bestselling author of A STRANGER'S GAME
"A pair of appealing, well-matched protagonists (with a bit of a history), a slimy villain, well-drawn secondary characters, and plenty of action make this rough-and-ready Western one that fans are sure to enjoy."
--Library Journal on AUDREY AND THE MAVERICK
"A beautiful romance…keeps the reader hooked from the first page to the last.” -New York Times Bestselling Author Catherine Anderson about LEAH AND THE BOUNTY HUNTER
Though this is the third book of a romance trilogy, the story stands quite well on its own. Elaine Levine gives us a multi-level story about trust and being able to overcome personal fears to achieve a goal. Set in the post-Civil War era, Leah and the Bounty Hunter gives us a window into the rough-and-tumble lives of our settler-forefathers and what they did to succeed against lawlessness and the incredible challenges to settle the old West. An enjoyable read, recommended. --Monica E. Spence, Historical Novels Review on LEAH AND THE BOUNTY HUNTER

Honor Unraveled is the third book in Elaine Levine’s Red Team series, an exciting special-ops romantic suspense. I started this series last year when I downloaded the first book, The Edge of Courage (Red Team #1,) as an Amazon freebie. Needless, to say, I was hooked. Levine knows how write romantic suspense novels that have just the right blend of swoon-worthy romance and dangerous suspenseful scenes to maintain my interest and pique my curiosity about what’s to come.
Levine has the ability to create compelling heroes who are fierce protectors of their loved ones and who are willing to sacrifice their lives to save others.
The heroes in this series are far from perfect; their insecurities and past traumas force them to deal with inner demons that thus far have kept them from finding personal happiness. The female protagonists they fall for challenge, support, and deeply love them.
This series focuses on a team of former members of the elite Red Team, a covert military force within the U.S. Army. Now, working in the private sector, they have joined forces with the FBI and Homeland Security to track down an active terrorist group in the U.S. run by an Afghan drug lord. These terrorists have strong ties to a regional white supremacist group called the White Kingdom Brotherhood who distribute their drugs brought into the U.S.
After reading Honor Unraveled, I can see that Levine has created a complex, well-planned plot that increasingly becomes more intricate as it unfolds with each romantic story. This is a series that must be read in sequence and the storylines of characters featured in previous books continue to develop.
The main romance in this story occurs between Kit and his high school girlfriend, Ivy. The Prologue provides a solid foundation for establishing the current tension between Kit and Ivy. Their romance ended when Ivy’s parents forced their separation. Yet, they are forever bound by their daughter, Casey. Hurts from the past continue to keep them apart until Ivy and Casey become targets for Kit’s enemies. Kit forces them to stay at the team’s newly forged compound to keep them safe. Ivy wants nothing more to do with Kit and is determined to move on with her life, yet Kit is determined to win her back, or at least do everything possible to determine if their relationship is salvageable.
So far, Ivy is the one protagonist in this series that I didn’t really connect with or particularly like.
Her indifference to Kit and her reluctance to let him play a more intregal role in their lives did not seem fully justified. Yes, I understand that she felt abandoned by Kit when they were teenagers, but he didn’t leave her by choice. Her parents played the biggest role in keeping them apart.
Ivy blames Kit for not finding her sooner, but she never bothered to look for him either. When he does learn that Ivy has returned to Wolf Creek and they have a daughter, he does everything he can to make sure they are financially supported. He is always watching out for their well-being even though Ivy hasn’t always been aware of it. Kit now looks back and thinks he was a coward for keeping his distance from them, but I never saw any indication that Ivy tried to encourage him to be more active in Casey’s life. Casey has spent the past twelve years of her life thinking her father didn’t want her, and I don’t think Ivy ever did anything to make her think otherwise.
As a result, I didn’t really root for them to reunite as strongly as I have with the other couples featured. I like the angle Levine takes with story, showing that love can endure, no matter the obstacles or passage of time. I just didn’t feel that “wow” with them as a couple. There are some brief flashbacks about their time together in high school, but I think if I had been given more vivid memories showing how they fell in love, I may have better understood why Ivy is the only woman Kit can ever love. Levine’s beautiful metaphors and imagery to describe Kit’s feelings for Ivy do make me believe his love and concern for her is genuine and not generated by a sense of obligation.
Kit is a wonderful hero and his love for his daughter is touching. My favorite scene is when he tries to comfort Casey as she experiences an important first—the transition to womanhood. An awkward, potentially embarrassing situation only forges a closer, stronger bond between father and daughter.
Kit grew up with a single mother who neglected him and he has always had to deal with feelings of being unwanted and unloved. That’s what he wants so desperately from Ivy and Casey.
I could understand his pain, and Ivy’s coldness toward him through much of the book only magnified his insecurities. I just didn’t feel her yearning and love for Kit.
On a positive note, however, she does redeem herself, in my eyes, when she makes a sincere apology to Kit for all that she has put through over the years. Furthermore, in the latter part of the book, I did start to see more of depth in her love for Kit and her desire for them to be a family, no matter that being with him will keep them from living, normal, safe lives.
As with the previous two books, Levine continues to write intense, sensual love scenes in the midst of ongoing action and suspense. In this book, I am also glad to see the development of other characters, such as Owen and Max, who will play more prominent roles as the story continues. Levine also creates new story threads that thicken the plot and create more mysteries to be solved. An unexpected but intriguing twist is the introduction of a seemingly peaceful separatist group called the Friendship Community who have become part of this sinister network of antagonists.
She also adds the one and only female Red Team member, Selena, to the mission, who is as fierce a warrior as the men.
Her run-ins with Owen have already created tension and make me wonder about the future of their relationship.
One disappointment I had with this story is that I had hoped the surprising cliffhanger ending from the second book revolving around Ty and his father would get resolved. I expected Ty to continue his active investigation to learn more about his father, but I didn’t see any development of this sub plot. However, I anticipate that it will get resolved at some point as its importance to the overall plot is exposed.
Overall, I enjoyed how the book ended. It left me satisfied until the next book is released, which I hope won’t be too long. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it will feature Kellen and Fiona’s story.
I received an advanced copy of this book from the author to provide honest feedback as a beta reader.

Kit and Ivy were high school sweethearts in a small town. He gets run out of town and into the army when Ivy gets pregnant at 16. He is told she lost the baby and her family moved away so he kept his distance. Ivy left her parents when they refused to accept her and her child and makes a life for her and her daughter on her own. My only complaint with this book was that Ivy was strong enough to raise Casey on her own and be successful but couldn't face her feelings for Kit and decide if she wanted to be with him. Great second chance romance and lots of suspense and intrigue on the team front. This series must be read in order.

I really liked the first book in this series. The second book was okay. But this book left me... unsatisfied. Kit was suppose to be a Red Team leader. But when it came to his relationship with Ivy, he was anything but. Ivy was conflicted as well and stayed in her confused head space for WAY too long into the story. Shit or get off the pot. Seriously.
And having everybody's parents be total bastards is just over the top. Yes, I know not every parental unit is a good one. But sheesh, there weren't even indifferent ones in this book. They were all users, abusers and the most terrible parents on the face of the planet. Which, btw, is totally not realistic. In RL, there are some great parents, decent to okay parents, crappy parents and then people who should have never been allowed to procreate.
I think that was my main problem with book. Too many things that were not realistic. I get this is fiction, but a lot of the story was based on stuff that just isn't reflective of life in America today. It began with Ivy supposedly living in her parents car for 3 years. Which is like... come on now. What parent kicks their 16-17 year old daughter out of the house for getting pregnant and having a baby but also gives her the family car to live in? And then three years later, somehow they get in contact and then the parents demand the car back? Really? Umm, yeah no.

3.5 stars. This is a great series. Bk 3 started off well, but I wasn't happy with Ivy and her wishy-washy "I want him, I need to date to be sure" attitude. Kit/Ivy were together in high school before they were torn apart. Poor Kit had a rough childhood and Ivy is his all. Ivy's pregnant (16 yrs) and Kit (18 yrs) is dragged off to the military (rather than jail) when her dad accuses Kit of statutory rape. The sheriff figures the military is a better alternative than jail time. Their daughter is now 12 yrs old and Ivy runs the diner in town. There were plenty of dramatic misunderstandings in the years between but in the present Kit's trying to keep Ivy and their daughter, Casey, in his life but Ivy's resistant. Amir and the biker gang are still around from bks 1 & 2 stirring up trouble so Ivy/Casey have now been moved to the mansion (Blade's place)/Red Team headquarters so the Red Team can keep them out of harm's way.
Liked Kit. He's struggling learning to be a dad to a daughter he barely knows and trying to warm his way back into Ivy's heart. Had to be tough for alpha Kit after having steamy sex with Ivy to watch her go through with her dates with different guys (Ivy's got trust/security issues). Waiting for Ivy to find what he already knows....these guys are lacking. This was my least favorite bk in the series, I got tired of the back and forth with Ivy and the villain drama seemed to fizzle this time. However, this bk wasn't without it's highlights.
Always love a military/special ops romance so the Red Team guys are favorites with me, especially Val. This big, bad, commando is funny and so very attentive with the ladies, so naturally the women love him. He's often giving his fellow Red Team member's love life advice. He's a got a couple of good scenes here that were the grins. This series always has some humor and a coming of age scene with Kit/Casey was sweet, awkward, funny and endearing. While this wasn't my favorite bk, I did love catching up with the guys and it was still entertaining enough not to put down. Definitely keeps me looking forward to what's up next for bk 4's starring couple.

I like this seires and I liked this book.
Obviously, giving it 4 stars there were things that bothered me... *wink*
I didn't like Ivy character very much... I understand that she's wounded, that she has to rise a child alone and shunned, but I didn't get why she rejected Kit so much when she got the whole story.
Kit too has his faults. I didn't get why he didn't go after Ivy when she was thrown out by her parents and when he found that they had a child together.
I also found very annoying Ivy insistence to date even after she and Kit slept together and he confessed that he want to be part of their life permanently.
Other than this the book is good and interesting. I liked meeting all the characters from the previous books agan and finding out what happened to them.
I will be glady reading other books of this series! :D

Please pardon my language, but I BLOODY F**KING LOVED THIS!!!! MY GAWD... I must admit I had forgotten a bit about my boys from Red Team, so it was AWESOME catching up with them. And this, the story of Kit *SWOON* and Ivy was most definitely a 5 star read!!! Cannot wait for the NEXT Red Team book, Ms. Levine!!! All I can say, is KEEP 'EM COMING :)
January 4, 2020
This book had tons of elements I hate. The heroine continued to date even though Kit was begging for a chance. Ivy had his child and did not tell him for YEARS. Somehow that was his fault?!
Overall I did not like Ivy, I like Kit ok. The overall story was ok and advanced the series along. So it is a necessary read but definitely not one of my favorites.

This series is great! I highly recommend Levine's Red Team to those who enjoy a good suspenseful romance with Alpha men and military type settings. I will say though that this is not a stand alone. A lot of conspiracy and bad guys ties into this town and into the lives of the men on the Red Team so it helps to start with book one and learn the players in the game!
This is Kit Bolanger's story. From prior reads we know he is back in Wyoming, in his home town, with his team and that Ivy his childhood love is there raising his 12 yr old daughter. Now that the terrorist sect has been exposed the violence is escalating and Kit has to protect what is his at all costs. Ivy is his and he spends the entire book trying to convince her of that! He was forced to leave her at 16 and pregnant to a hard cruel life without family support. She blames him for leaving her...unbeknownst to her that he came back for her, wrote to her and never stopped looking for her.
Although this is not my fave book so far, I am a huge Kit fan! He is bold, brazen and sexy as hell. Ivy on the other hand is a bit taxing...I mean come on lady...u like having hot monkey sex with my Kit but u keep going out with other men! Wtf! it takes major drama and Kit finally letting you go before you decide its ok to be with him! shame on you...I was sold when he said "i eat people like you for breakfast!"
Again, good series. There are so many good secondary characters! Val is crazy hot and flirtatious. The new Red Team member and only female Selena is badass, and its looking like she might give Owen something to think about. I am patiently waiting though for Kelan to finally make Fiona his completely! There is so much more to this series!

I would have liked this one better had Ivy not been so focused on how her life was so bad for so many years, when at the heart of things she was the one that caused it. She went away, she didn't look for Kit, she made the choice for years to keep Kit away from their child. Once Kit was aware of Casey, he stepped up to support both of them financially, even thought it had been over 5 years, and then let them live their lives, giving Ivy what she had wanted.
I hated how Ivy, brought into the compound for protection, still went about her life dating other men. Nice way to twist the knife a little more. They guys had to check out these guys, then Kit would have to watch them pick up Ivy and go on their date.
I did love the scenes where Kit got to know his daughter, most were sweet, but some were harrowing, at least for Kit, like when Casey got her period and only her dad was around, funny!
There were parts of this one that seemed to come out of left field, the WKB, which I had thought was a militia group, now it is a motorcycle club. Also the mythical man "King", I don't remember him being mentioned before, but now he is a major player that might have close ties to the group. I also felt like the town did a 180 compared to how they were in the past and even the last book.
So even with my issues with this book I will keep reading the series. I look forward to seeing where things go with the team.

I love, love, love Elaine's Red Team series and could not wait to get my hands on this one! I get completely sucked into her books. And how can I not when she is writing about sexy, alpha, military men??? I'm putty in her hands and she knows it. :)
The story is picked up right at the end of the second in the series, Shattered Valor, so if you haven't read any of my previous reviews on this series, it is imperative to read the other two so you are not lost. And don't worry, they kick ass!! Like I said, it picks up right where it ends in the second book. Kit and Ivy reconnect but not in a very good way. The international drug lords that the team is chasing has led them to Kit's hometown where Ivy never expected to see him. Ever. To make matters worse, because Kit is in the middle of all this, it puts Ivy and their daughter, Casey, in danger and are forced to leave their home to stay with the team where they will be safe. On top of the sexual tension radiating off the two old high school flames, throw in a couple obstacles and an eery and quite scary situation Casey finds herself in, this story is full of action and intrigue. My house was neglected and my boys are lucky they got fed because I was completely sucked in.
I am waiting on pins and needles for the next in the series. The supporting characters are beyond awesome and there are a certain male and female I can't wait read their HEA. :)
The story is picked up right at the end of the second in the series, Shattered Valor, so if you haven't read any of my previous reviews on this series, it is imperative to read the other two so you are not lost. And don't worry, they kick ass!! Like I said, it picks up right where it ends in the second book. Kit and Ivy reconnect but not in a very good way. The international drug lords that the team is chasing has led them to Kit's hometown where Ivy never expected to see him. Ever. To make matters worse, because Kit is in the middle of all this, it puts Ivy and their daughter, Casey, in danger and are forced to leave their home to stay with the team where they will be safe. On top of the sexual tension radiating off the two old high school flames, throw in a couple obstacles and an eery and quite scary situation Casey finds herself in, this story is full of action and intrigue. My house was neglected and my boys are lucky they got fed because I was completely sucked in.
I am waiting on pins and needles for the next in the series. The supporting characters are beyond awesome and there are a certain male and female I can't wait read their HEA. :)

I'm not a big fan of second chance romances, but this one worked. It could be because it's the third book in the Red Team series and Kit has been such an important character from the get-go. The intriguing suspense continues and it's fun to work out who you think each team member will end up with. The romance is sweet, the love scenes steamy... A very good series and I am hanging out for the luscious Max's story next.

3.5 Stars. Ivy got on my nerves the way she couldn't stop blaiming Kit for the past. The next couple set ups look interesting. Selena and Owen??? talking about explosive! I wonder who is gonna wear the pants in that family?? Right now my bet is on Selena. :-)

The 3rd book. Couldn't wait to read it.
http://anotherlookbookreviews.blogspo...
I love this series. Honor Unraveled is the 3rd book in the Red Team series and they are not stand alone books. It had been only a short while since I finished book 2 and I still needed a refresher on who was who in the story. It didn't take long but if you are picking up Honor Unraveled for the first time without reading the first two books, my guess is that you'd be very confused. I am still confused with the cowboy themed book covers. These stories are not cowboyish in the slightest.
Of the three books, Honor Unraveled was my least favourite. Not that I didn't like it because I did. I couldn't wait to dive into the story because the author, Elaine Levine had done a great job setting up Kit and Ivy in the previous stories. I love a story where the couple have a history attached and Ivy and Kit's background go all the way to when they were teens.
Honor Unraveled continues to give the readers snippets and a great lead-way into the next exciting book. The characters are nicely set up and I am already excited to read the fourth book whenever it comes out next.
The story-line is not as suspenseful as I was hoping but there is definitely a great story here. There is a whole lot going on with this Red Team but it is fairly easy to keep track of all the swirling plots. I also love that there are more than one story being told. The plot is growing bigger and bigger and the big bad villain is yet to be revealed Love it!
The secondary cast continues to interest me and I eagerly await their stories.
Why I didn't love Honor Unraveled as much as the other two books is that Kit and Ivy were beginning to get on my nerves. Ivy took a really long time to dwell on the past and when she finally was coming around, Kit decides to do what Ivy was afraid of all along and send her and their daughter away. It was near the end of the book and I am sure I grunted in frustration at that point. So cliche and I knew it was coming. I was just hoping the story wouldn't go there.
A new character, Selena was introduced. Why do bad ass heroines have to be big bitches? I couldn't stand her. There are a number of super cool bad ass heroines that don't have this major "alpha man" thing going on. I can name a number of tough women in fiction that are a part of all men teams that don't come across so aggressive and with an attitude the side of Mt Everest. A woman can be capable without having to be over the top tough. She can be really smart and a great fighter without the attitude.
The other element of Honor Unraveled that made me cringe was the constant bad parenting. In the first two stories I understood how crucial the bad parenting was to the plot but I felt that Ivy's situation with her parents was a huge leap. Not to sure about Ivy having to live in a car (for 3 years) and then having to give the car back to her parents. I get that her parents were not happy about her teen pregnancy and perhaps some parents would kick their daughter out but government agencies can step in to help.I wanted to just go with it but it was a big leap to go with.

Overall, a fairly entertaining book, and I'm enjoying the broader story arc in the series. All of the elements I enjoy reading are there, but since book one, I haven't been as fully invested in the individual stories as I should have been, or expected to be. And with this book, I figured out my problem.
The men are confusing.
What I mean is that we get a sense of who they are when they're secondary characters. But when it comes to their story, they change personalities. Where are the guys that were intriguing me before? Kit was fascinating as a secondary character, but he fell flat for me in his own book. How is that possible? It's like the author changed her mind about who these guys were going to be between their introduction to the series and their book. Talk about disappointing.
The biggest problem/example I can give is the way Kit talks. He went from badass warrior in three first two books to mushy, sappy pushover in this one. I don't mind a little softness, but all of a sudden, he's incredibly emo, and it was jarring. All of these guys so far have been like that, and I find it so irritating. Like Kelan - all of a sudden, he goes from contemporary badass to talking like a castoff from a J.R. Ward book, what with his weird other half/bonding/claiming monologue. WTF? And he's not the only one talking like a BDB vampire; Kit, too, uses phrases ripped right from the brothers.
I'm a huge BDB fangirl, so those parallels are obvious to me. The BDB series is awesome, but I don't appreciate seeing blatant shades of it outside of those books. It confuses me, and takes away from this story.
The other part I didn't enjoy was Ivy. Holy crap, was she exhausting! I wanted to like her, and I tried, but her reasons for avoiding Kit are weak and petulant. I don't think much of her, because she's so desperate to be independent. I don't have a problem with strong female leads, and in fact prefer them, but Ivy was suffering from whiny martyr syndrome. I couldn't stand her, and couldn't see why Kit did.
So why did I rate this three stars? Because almost everyone and everything else was enjoyable, the story moved well, and the overall plot was pretty good. But the romance was a huge letdown.

This is the 3rd in a series - read them in order so you understand the conflict and relationships.
I fell in love with Kit in the previous book when he took such care with his friend Ty. It showed the character of the man and I couldn't wait for his story. This book starts at his HS graduation ceremony when he was so proud and excited to share his accomplishment with Ivy - only to be whisked away to the Army. Her father has threatened to have Kit put in jail for getting her pregnant but the sheriff negotiates the service knowing Kit's lack of parental guidance hasn't given him much of a chance at life.
In the 12 years since he has seen Ivy, he became a leader of the Red Team, a highly trained secret sector of the services in the middle east. He wasn't even aware that his daughter was alive because Ivy's father had told him she had miscarried. Through his half-sister Mandy, Ivy contacts Kit when Casey is 6 years old and he willingly supports them every way he can. Ivy eventually moves back to the small Wyoming town, knowing she has never stopped loving Kit and that is the one place she can feel close to him.
When the former Red Teamers come to town to fight the WKB, Kit steers clear of Ivy and Casey hoping the enemy doesn't discover the connection. When it becomes apparent that they know of the ties, he brings them to the huge home Blade has inherited from his father. Kit can't stay away from Ivy and having her living under the same roof and his protection makes it impossible. He knows there will never be another for him and he's hoping to convince Ivy that they belong together, finally, as a family.

There has not been a book Elaine has written where I didn't fall in love with her characters and storyline. Hunter Unraveled is a truly splendid and enjoyable read that showcases life’s adversities and lessons in which the reader will be able to relate to certain circumstances which will draw you into the emotional pull between Kit and Ivy, understanding each other’s past history, what each went through, what they did to move ahead prior to them reuniting with an understanding that life throws those curve balls and that you have to get back up on your feet and move forward knowing sacrifices have to be made along the way in order to move forward. Elaine draws out each characters with believability adding realistic situations, using poignant moments to emphasize the importance of why and what just happened, mixed with humor but still the message gets across. The changing of the scenes run fluently, never taking away from the suspense, action and romance, and oh yeah, you feel the chemistry Kit and Ivy share for each other. You’ll be standing on the sidelines cheering them on. The reader is able to emphasize and sympathize with Kit and Ivy making this a tender, heartwarming story, one you’ll love.

OMG! Love this series!!! Finally, we get to Kit & Ivy’s story, which has been skirted in the first two books. This book had me a little frustrated here & there because it was so obvious that Kit had never stopped loving Ivy & she just couldn’t get around the past, blamed Kit for a lot of things that were not his fault.
Once again, lots of action & suspense. More with Kellan & Fiona as well as at least one more new twist with Greer & “Sally”. Also, has Val found someone to tame his wildness???
This is the last book published in this serial series (read in order) to date. Not for readers under 18.

Great book, can't wait to see who's story is next in the series. Hurry! I read some unfavorable reviews about Ivy's character, but I didn't agree. Perhaps I can relate to her (single parent) situation better & she made sense to me. I hope you're writing your little heart out, Elaine! You're a wonderful storyteller!
August 1, 2013
Good addition to the series, but I wasn't as drawn into this one as I was the others. It almost felt at times as if it were bordering the BDB. Otherwise, it was a quick, fun read. Hope we won't have to wait as long for the next few.
November 21, 2014
I started out loving this series but now it's got a step to faring the can't believe it direction. We have been thrown yet another hidden enemy. Itching this is my lot. if it were Kelan's story next I might read on but as it's not I give up.

Review:
I wish the women would stop fighting the relationships. haha
Kit and Ivy have a huge history.
As mentioned in the first book, Kit has a huge history with the area he comes back to in order to assist his sister with suspicious happenings. Book 3 picks up where book two left off. The team is in the middle of some stuff, with no end in sight. They’ve moved and adjusted into Ty’s huge family home.
Lessen learned: sometimes dead people aren’t dead.
It was great to see both Kit’s story and Ty’s story continue. Rocco took more of a back seat and Kelan and Val seemed to play larger roles. The author seems to be working her way through a significant age difference with a relationship brewing (although I wish she’d also tackle one where the female was older).
I will admit, Ivy did get on my nerves more than Mandy or Eden did. She came across, in some places, as just too difficult/stubborn.
However, that didn’t effect my overall thoughts on the book. Great read and finished in one sitting. I actually read book 2 and book 3 in the same day as I had a day off from work.
Steam Level:
3 out of 5
One thing I loved:
I love that this is a series. We stick with our old characters and more develop as we go. I am absolutely a series girl.
On thing I disliked:
It seems that through all these, each former Red Team member has had some kind of severe previous trauma – even the women. I am looking forward to meeting some that are just normal.
Rating:
5 out of 5

This book was annoying from the start. I can see why I stopped reading after the second book. Ivy's closing her diner by herself days after there was a shootout on Main Street? Where her diner is? And the father of her daughter asked her to call him before closing and she didn't, instead deciding to go down to the creepy basement with the burnt out light without even locking the doors. Then she hears someone going to the apartments above the diner, runs up the stairs, and locks the front door despite not hearing them come back down, basically locking herself *in* with whoever that was who wasn't supposed to be there. How does that make sense? Turns out it's fine, it's the aforementioned father of her daughter, teaching her a lesson. Necessary but he's a jerk about it and ends the conversation with "I eat people like you for breakfast". Ew. Who talks like that -- ever -- but especially to a woman you used to love?
After that start, I mostly skimmed the book. Nothing horrible, I just didn't like either of the main characters. He was too rough and jumped to too many conclusions, she was too stubborn and afraid of what she was feeling. The writing was jumpy with too many abrupt entrances and exits and unrealistic exchanges. And that creeper boy cult at the camp toward the end? Too much.

I really did not care for Ivy and how she acted and treated Kit. They were both victims of what happened when they were teenagers. Ivy got pregnant then Ivys parents accused Kit of statutory rape and instead of going to jail enlisted in the military. He invested in Ivys restraunt and is really a good guy. You should definitely check out this series I loved it but just keep in mind this book is my least favorite but dont let it ruin the rest of them for you.

A great addition to the series
4 - 4 1/2 stars
This was a terrific story with great characters, humor, drama, angst, action, and suspenseful twists that will keep you intrigued. I would have given this 5 stars except that I had a difficult time liking Ivy. I understand that she's been through a lot of tragedies, as well as the emotional results of that. However, she seemed really selfish in her belief of what happened years ago instead of actually facing the truth. Kit has been through even more tragedies, still has his own doubt and sensitivities regarding things that happened in his childhood, but is still really and willing to lay himself bare to fight for what he wants most, Ivy and Casey. Maybe I should be more understanding, but it bothers me that the females always seem to be able to act as crazy as they want, while the men are supposed to just take it and all of the blame too, even when they're not at fault. JMO.
This is a great series that I would highly recommend to everyone who loves suspenseful romances.

Ivy is introduced to us in the first book, The Edge of Courage, where we also learn that she has a 12 year old daughter Casey and Kit is the father. I was curious about their story and wanted to know why Ivy did not want Kit to be involved in their daughter's life.
To be honest, I did not enjoy Honor Unraveled as much as I did the first two books in the series and that's because I was getting sick of Ivy's inability to decide whether she wants to be with Kit or not, even after it became obvious that she still has feelings for him. She kept on dating other men and then has the nerve to act jealous when she sees a girl hanging off Kit. Talk about double standard.
I absolutely adored Kit and frankly I think he was too good for Ivy. She did not deserve him. He gave it his all, trying to win her back from the first moment she came back into her life. I do not see why he was so crazy about her when she didn't even try to reach out to him when he was forced to join the Army, even after she left her parent's home. She was apprehensive about starting up relationship again with him because she did not want to be left again and she blamed him for not looking for her. Well honey, sorry to break it to you, but he did far more looking than you did.
I really liked Casey and I loved the bonding moments between her and Kit. It brought smile to my face, especially the bathroom scene. Kudos to Kit for not freaking out on her. He handled that situation surprisingly well.

Kit and Ivy's story was full of action, danger, and suspense. From beginning to end, it was a good suspense story.
I do have to say that I was tired of Ivy being wishy washy, blaming Kit for leaving when he had no choice. I was tired of Kit feeling like he wasn't good enough, although that was a little more understandable.
I hope to see Selena with her own book. She was tough, strong, intelligent, and independent. Granted, she had a hard shell, and a soft spot for Casey, but that was part of what made her awesome.
I listened to the audiobook, and as usual, Eric G. Dove made it a good experience. With his narration, I can really get into a story and not have to worry about which character is speaking.
I'm glad Kit, Ivy, and Casey got their HFN, hopefully, they will get their HEA as well.
I have to stick with this series so I can see what happens with Owen, Max, and the rest of the Red Team.
