4 Stars

Linda Barrett became one of my favorite authors with her PILGRIM COVE series, and now with A MAN OF HONOR, she continues to remain on that short list. Ms. Barrett does a great job of writing realistic characters that readers can sympathize and identify with. .... I enjoyed this contemporary novel from Harlequin Superromance and hope to read more of Ms. Barrett’s work very soon.

5 Stars!

***** Excellent! I could not help but feel for the people Heather and Kathy helps. This book certainly opened my eyes to what goes on in broken families; not to mention how hard and frightening it is for the abused victims to seek help. All the characters are well developed and totally believable! When Heather's parents come back for a second chance, I totally understood her anger and frustration. Author Linda Barrett, once again, shows her amazing talent and brings her story to life. Highly recommended! *****

5 Stars!

Linda Barrett has a brilliant flair for creating gratifying stories that touch the heart and teach a lesson in living. Her characters and stories could easily come from across the street or across the world and her readers would still be able to identify with them. A MAN OF HONOR is such a story and left this reader uplifted and smiling. Ms. Barrett brought to light the problems of victims of abuse, and presented a solution with hope and inspiration. Kudos, Linda Barrett, for an incredible read.

Only his promise to return had kept Lila going.

Now four more years have passed, and Lila is about to marry someone else. Eight-year-old Katie is thrilled to be getting a dad and a sister. A real family of her own.

Then Jason sends a new message. This time it's personal. He's coming home.

 

Sea View House in Pilgrim cove offers its residents the sea, the sun, the sound of the surf and the call of the gulls. But sometimes serenity is only an illusion.

You can go home again ... 

Rachel Goodman never thought she'd return to Pilgrim Cove. Too many unpleasant childhood memories. But she's no longer an awkward, defenseless kid, so when the one person who'd been kind to her needs her, she gets ready to face the past.

What she's not ready for is the challenge of working with Jack Levine. The man doesn't follow house rules or take advice. Which makes being his boss very difficult. And being his housemate downright impossible.

Until the stormy night Jack and his boat go missing, and Rachel realizes how much she needs him. Her home -- Sea View House -- has become their home.

For Abby MacKenzie, a few months working in an apple orchard-far away from Los Angeles-may be just what the doctor ordered. Hard physical labor, fresh air and nothing to remind her of the trouble at home.
