Honor #3
Love & Honor
US Secret Service Agent Cameron Roberts has more than one secret that could destroy her career, not the least of which is that she’s in love with the president’s daughter. Blair Powell, the first daughter, returns the feeling despite her ambivalence about Cam’s role as her security chief, particularly in the aftermath of an assassination attempt that nearly cost Cam her life. In this third book of the Honor series, Blair and Cam struggle to protect their relationship from intensified media exposure even as they are unwillingly drawn into a shadowy conspiracy that puts Cam’s career and the president’s political future at risk. When Cam's previous lover resurfaces to offer support and solace, the president's daughter and her security chief are faced with difficult choices as they battle a tangled web of Washington intrigue for...love and honor.

The continuing adventures of Secret Service Security Chief Cam Roberts and First Daughter Blair Powell as they navigate love on the down low. Being forced to open up now about their relationship to trusted colleagues when a courier delivers compromising images of the two of them, the team must uncover what it all really means.
Just LISTENING to this series makes me tired because Cam never sleeps more than a few hours a night and only manages to when falling into the arms and bed of Blair (a rare occurrence.) And more times than not she's also recovering from various injuries that would put most people out of commission for a while. Hurt or no, she and Blair still find ways to explore their strong physical attraction to one another. That is, when Blair isn't scolding Cam for doing her job - which is to protect her at all costs.
What I enjoyed most about this installment was the camaraderie of the team and how they all worked together to get to the bottom of what was happening. The secondary characters - especially agents Paula Stark and Renee Savard - are quite likable and add much to the story. And Abby does a great job with the narration. Interesting that Rad never meant this to be a series - but it evolved and became one of her most popular ones. Three down, seven to go!

I am enjoying this series because it is engaging with interesting characters. There is much to like about the two main characters. Cameron is fierce yet compassionate. Blair is intense yet caring. Watching there love for each other grow has been fun, sexy and endearing.

Just keeps getting better!!!
Honestly, I'm at a loss for words. There are only a certain amount of descriptive words and I think I used those up in the first two books of this series. I love Radclyffe's writing style, it's fluid and captures your interest from the first word. Her characters are normal, realistic people. Her wit can be subtle but she allows you to know her characters so well you can imagine how they would say something or do in a particular circumstance. Also, it's like your right there. I wouldn't recommend you read this as a solo book. To truly appreciate it you need to read the first two. I'm off to read number four. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Love this series - holiday treat re-reading. Number 3 is just as good - though do wonder how many dangerous liasions Cam & Blair are going to have to endure before they live happily ever after? Recommended.

This is another extraordinary addition to the 'Honor' series by Radclyffe. It runs the gamut and spectrum of super secret service stuff and the amazing evolving love affair between Cameron Roberts, chief secret service person for Blair (the daughter of the president of the United States), and Blair. A few new folks have been added to the scene with truly delightful implications and energy. I cannot find the words to accurately express how enchanted I am with this series to date, which also includes my introduction via the latest book in the series. I recommend reading this collection from the beginning, however, I do not feel any discomfort because I started with book nine. Tremendously impressive!
Cameron Roberts, Cam, is recovering from a serious injury incurred while protecting the president's daughter. Adding to her already overwhelming platter of responsibilities and duties, she somewhat slowly becomes aware that she is being targeted by an intricate Washington, DC undercover ad hoc assemblage of people. It takes her quite awhile to finally uncover the motivation for this assault and she moreover recognizes this as a back door attack on Blair which strains and solidifies this relationship. A relentless yet exciting build-up of events sent a supernumerary high-powered rippling excitement through my innards when reading this, truly cementing me to my seat with my nose glued to each page! Now, I know I love Cameron, but I graciously accept her astoundingly authentic connection to Blair. Immensely thrilling!
Blair Allison Powell is unquestionably the first daughter and only child of the president. She has a fiery heart and is certainly never one to be ignored by the public, her connections in the art world, and definitively her lover. I also learned that she has a flair for managing and procuring information, successfully keeping her sexual preferences off the front pages and incredibly protected from spies, news hounds, and most everyone who might infiltrate her privacy thereby potentially putting the president in a rather awkward position. Within this book, this issue becomes especially important and Blair maneuvers the manipulation of this data in a way that only she could orchestrate. Blair is a tad too feisty for me to feel comfortable, but she is an indisputably magnificent character both as a public figure and as an intimate mate. My appreciation and admiration for her has simply grown with each new edition to this series. Intensely engaging!
In conclusion, I will merely restate that I very much recommend this third book in the 'Honor' series. Outstanding!

I know I keep repeating myself but I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this series so much!!! Blair and Cam are so cute and sexy and I just love their love. It’s so beautiful!! But I gotta say that all the spy stuff happening in the background has me so nervous lol I know that in the end they always end together and safe but until that point, my heart suffers alongside them. I can’t help it 😩

I love the main characters in this series. It’s nice that the focus is shifting a little to Agent Stark. This should be interesting as the series progresses.
November 5, 2018
This book is a good continuation of the series. No bullets or bombs this time. Blair and Cam communicate their feelings for each more, and they are more open about their relationship to family members, friends, and co-workers.

The series continues
“The essence of love is the solace given in the dark of the night when terror and uncertainty and the ghosts of old heartache are the strongest.”
“Without meaning for it to happen, she had lost her heart to Cam, and she hadn’t expected the need, so much deeper than flesh, that followed.”

An entertaining story with interesting characters & riveting plot lines. It was a very enjoyable read. I recommend this book.

Nothing much happens in this book. Miscommunication and useless angry interactions between the two main. Forced by mediatic pressure and a half plot that felt flimsy at best, the couple ends up taking a first step to coming out. But to know more... you have to go to the next book.

This time, a little less action and a little more politics.

Third of the Honor series.
Assigned to protect her, an attractive Secret Service agent falls for the Presidents equally beautiful daughter. A deep conspiracy to overthrow the government keeps the agent and her detail busy protecting the woman she loves and the President from assassins. The main characters are rich, as are all the secondary characters. There are nine books, this is the third, and they are all filled with romance and action.
It’s a great series? Start from the beginning. All nine books are on Audible, the narrator, Abby Craden, is the best I’ve heard, she really brings the story alive. I got them using the Audible Romance subscription.
Thanks to Radclyffe, the author, for a great ride. Enjoy!

It was difficult to read, at times, as I have grown to love Cam so much. To see her as the victim was difficult for me. I loved how Blair stepped up in the end, but the whole political positioning and personal vendetta angle was rough. I'm almost afraid to read the next installment, as it deals with a time that was extremely traumatic in my life, and which changed me forever. I enjoyed Georgia Beers' "96 hours" in that it dealt with the topic from afar, for the most part. I can only hope that Radclyffe treats the subject with all the delicate sensitivities that this tragedy deserves. Having already read the introduction, I am cautiously optimistic.

well what an anti-climax this book was. you’ve got all this intrigue and mystery and then manage to solve it all with no real repercussions or danger.
i was right thinking that Doyle was dodgy, however, i thought he was going to be the stalker and that in the last book they’d actually killed the wrong guy but no he was just part of some dodgy conspiracy.
i’m hoping and praying that the next book has a bit more action to it because good lord i can’t keep reading a book where information is revealed and then blair and cameron have sex on a repeated cycle.

This was ok. The story seemed to get lost at times amid the love making. Don't get me wrong, I like a decent sex scene as much as the next person, but not at the expense of the plot, and these girls seemed to be at it or wishing they were at it every five minutes. The story did pick up the pace a bit towards and end and they got their HEA (this was an incredibly sappy installment)...for the time being anyway.

Everything comes boiling over in this one. Don't want to give any spoilers away, but things get real. Cam and Blair have to figure out who to trust to get through. Hopefully they make the right choices.
Cam is being investigated about the conclusion to Lover Boy. What we can't figure out is, why. Good ending, good results, no investigation needed. We find all of that out and things from last book start to make a whole lot more sense.
We might finally get our happy ending after all.

Honor 3 is my favorite book in the series so far. I really love how it focused on Blair and Cameron's relationship while still having some moments with Cam's job and the media issue surrounding Blair and Cam. The story was amazing and I enjoyed reading about the other characters like Savard and seeing them have love interests of their own. These two make me believe in love and happiness. I'm on the next book and can't wait to read what happens next.

Oh the mess of politics and vengeance, it's amazing how fiction can be so relevant in todays political struggles and what many are whiling to do for power.
I'm so glad of the unapologetic nature of Blair's and Cam's relationship, and love the presidents stance of embrace and not caring about his political future but instead in support of his daughter. Love it!

I felt as though this installment of the series ran at a much slower pace than the previous ones. Despite that, I still finding the story compelling and I can’t wait to read the following book.

By accidentally, I read that novel first thinking it was the first story in the sequel. I was very confused at to why Radclyffe will start of the beginning of story with two characters that were in a relationship.
I am currently listening to the first book to catch on the story.

Captivating!
Once you start reading you can't really stop. It's still a very interesting setting and now that the relationship is more in the open, so is the potential story.
