CS02-BLOGTOUR-FB

Code of Honor, an all-new fun and flirty romantic standalone in the Cipher Security series from April White, is available now!



RATING/REVIEW:☕☕☕☕ ☕(5 cups for this adventure filled romance with two of the most honor filled protagonists to meet!)

The second book in the Cipher Security Series, set in the Penny Reid Universe, specifically an offshoot of the Knitting in the City World is Code of Honor by April White.    I totally enjoyed the first book also penned by Ms. White, Code of Conduct and when I found out there was going to be a second one I couldn’t stop myself from jumping with glee.  Ms. White did such a fantastic job with Code of Conduct that I was pretty sure that Code of Honor won’t disappoint.  I did have initial misgivings about whether it was going to be at least at par with the first one but fear not Code of Honor holds itself on its own! And why not with such fantastic characters and unique plot it was definitely looking up as a great addition to the series.  Main characters like Darius the Disney prince lookalike, who made a brief but lasting impression in the first book and Anna, the one badass not-a-princess with verbal diarrhea and just out of this world imagination are the stuff romance with opposites attract themes are just tailor made for. This book made me feel gooey and excited and just hungry for more.  Anna and Darius had fantastic chemistry right off the bat but more importantly not cookie cutter characters. They are as multidimensional as any person and their opposite approaches and rules in life are the main obstacles in their romance which is basically real life romance territory in itself.  I love how they interacted, try resolving the issues and just basically jumped off the pages because they definitely felt real.  Code of Honor also gives is glimpses of past characters whom I love, specifically Quinn and Dan owners of Cipher, and my favorite couple, second only to their beloved other half.  Code of Honor is all funny and sexy and sweet, emotionally poignant and thought provoking as well. I adore it!

A painting, a panic room, a thief, and her lover … whose job is to catch her.
There are three things you need to know about Anna.
1) She’s a bounty hunter with adrenaline junkie habits,
2) She’s the “awkward” twin, and
3) She’s a thief – kind of.

Darius designs security systems for Cipher Security, and the strange and remarkable woman he met the night the painting was stolen is as intriguing a mystery as his hunt for the thief is.

But the lady has no filter, and she knows she can’t lie to the man who looks like a Disney Prince and kisses like fairytales are true, so she runs from the one person who may actually see her as the heroine of her own story.

Code of Honor’ is a full-length contemporary romantic suspense, can be read as a standalone and is book #2 in the Cipher Security series, Knitting in the City World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

CS02-TEASER02

Excerpt

She was waiting for me to run away. The woman in front of me, with whom conversation was akin to playing barefoot hopscotch on hot asphalt, who walked like shoes confused her, and who smelled of a spring breeze through a field of wildflowers, expected me to turn tail and bolt. I rarely did the expected, however, and often made choices that flew directly in the face of convention. And as nothing about this woman or this conversation was conventional, I stayed. And I laughed. This startled her, and she suddenly dropped to the floor in what seemed at first to be a defensive maneuver, but was actually a crouch in order to pet the cat. Her posture put her face at approximately groin height, and for the space of exactly one half-second, I considered remaining in place to see if she would notice. But chivalry got the better of me, and I knelt down beside her. Her face flamed bright red, and for a moment I thought she was ill. “I was just staring at your penis, wasn’t I?” she said in a tone of complete chagrin. Rarely did I meet someone even more straightforward than myself, and I attempted a benign expression. “Were you?” The delightful woman sighed. “I was. I’m sorry.” But then a mischievous glint came into her eyes, and she said in a perfectly benign tone, “So, what do you think about my pussy?” I choked on a startled bark of laughter, and she allowed herself a small grin as she deliberately ran her hands through the fur of the very contented cat. “On that note, I believe it’s time for me to find something red to drink to match the color of my face,” she said, as she rose to her feet. She wasn’t graceful about it, but she was strong and didn’t wobble until she tried to take a step. She’d managed to stand on the hem of the pink silk gown she wore and winced at the sound of her heel tearing the fabric. “Well, now I’ve officially hit my humiliation quota for the night. Enjoy the party, Mr. Masoud,” she said brightly, as she hurried away across the room. I let her go without further comment, though my eyes tracked her as she plucked a glass of red wine from a passing tray and finished half of it in one large gulp.
