✮ ✮ ✮ Average Rating 3.75 STARS ✮ ✮ ✮

Precious lives were saved when three brave Navy SEALs went against orders, embarking on a rescue mission of their own. A mission that will never be forgotten and changed the course of their lives forever. While they will never regret their decision, it came with heavy consequence.  

Now they must fight to protect the women they love while also battling the new and existing demons that torture their souls, from death, corruption, destruction and war. These men are strong, honorable and will do everything they can to overcome the past that continues to haunt them.

These are their stories.

For the first time, all four Men Of Honor books are together in one specially wrapped bundle, with exclusive bonus material of the prologue and chapter one to An Act Of Redemption—the first book in the spin off series, Acts of Honor.

Fighting Temptation ~ Jaxson and Julia’s story.

Sweet Temptation ~ Sawyer and Grace’s story.

Resisting Temptation ~ Cade and Faith’s story.

The Final Temptation ~ Cooper and Kayla’s novella.

You can’t beat a good book binge and the Men Of Honor series is serious binge material. If you like your men brooding, possessive and overbearing and who love fiercely and fight hard, then this box set brings you four of them in the shape of three former SEAL’s and the town Sheriff.

…what happened to him and his friends in Iraq has left more scars than just the ones that mar his skin.”

#1 Fighting Temptation ~ 3 stars

By no means a difficult read, Fighting Temptation was a bit of a clichéd best-friends-to lovers, but Jaxson and Julia’s chemistry was explosive in every sense of the word, there’s no scrimping on the hot-stuff and there’s some suspense and drama thrown in. I didn’t love it, they at times just acted that bit too childish, but I liked it enough to keep on with the series as it firmly lays the foundations.

#2 Sweet Temptation ~ 3.5 stars (should have been at least a 4)

I’ll get my rant on this one out of the way first: K.C. Lynn made a doozy of a mistake with this story at 20%, inserting something that served zero purpose and went against character portrayal which 1) pissed me off, 2) turned Sawyer into a total wanker, and 3) showed Grace as weak. I however, am a bigger picture type of gal and remove that from the equation and Sweet Temptation was an enjoyable read with much more of an emotional pull than #1 and Sawyer and Grace were actually wonderful together bringing a journey that bounced between sweet, funny, sexy and heartfelt. That poor decision by the author though sadly took the shine off a couple who deserved better.

#3 Resisting Temptation ~ 4.5 stars

I was expecting some feeling to come with Cade and Faith’s story but reaching for the tissues at the prologue was a bit of a surprise. Resisting Temptation was hands down my favourite of the four—Cade and Faith have something truly special—and with perfectly inserted flashbacks showing us just what they experienced together, my heart broke a little bit for them but was put back together as they reconnected.

#3.5 The Final Temptation ~ 4 stars

And we finish on the happy forever after for the couple who have been the absolute glue of the series, Cooper and Kayla. Short, steamy and oh so satisfying The Final Temptation was the icing on the Men of Honor cake and leads us nicely into the first in K.C Lynn’s Acts of Honor series, An Act of Redemption.

I think the fact I’ve read this entire series in the space of three days speaks for itself and with each book surpassing its predecessor, along with characters who, despite being flawed, won me over, K.C Lynn has herself a new reader. If you’re looking for an easy-read hot and sexy series which does pull on the old heartstrings at times, then you could do worse than acquainting yourselves with the men, and ladies, of honor.
