All Due Respect
Dr. Julia Warner-Hyde must do the unthinkable: return to a life she thought she left forever --- the covert world of Air Force missile technology. Not long ago, she fled in terror, stalked by an abusive husband, beginning a new life as a teacher in the Florida panhandle. But her safe, quiet life is shattered the day her former partner, Dr. Seth Holt, appears, asking for help.
The Rogue missile system Julia and Seth designed has fallen into terrorist hands. Julia has no choice but to join Seth in a critical race to prevent the ultimate nightmare. And in doing so, she must revisit her own private hell --- one that won't let her go until she faces it head-on. Now, Julia and Seth, fellow warriors who've seen the worst life has to offer, must breach the highest security risk of all: trust ... and love.

5 STARS
It was a nail biter. Lots of drama,action and dealing with abuse and overcoming it.
My heart was racing reading one part of the book. I really was into it.
Former Air Force scientist Dr. Julia Warner-Hyde has been hiding in small town teaching grade school. When her former partner finds her and asks her to come back and work with him. If she does not millions might die with the missle system that they had developed together being in the wrong hands.
Julia is afraid to go back to that life she ran from. But how can she live if millions are at risk if she does not? She also is worried about one of her students who's mother died and she believes that the father is abusing him.
Dr. Seth Holt has missed his old partner Julia since she just left 3 years ago without a goodbye. Thier missile system has been stolen and he is working on something that will defend against it but things are not as secure as it needs to be. He needs someone he trusts to lead the project. He has loved Julia for five years but has not let her know it because she is happily married to a cop. He needs her. It could be life or death if the work is taken and with the missile could be deadly to our country.
Julia has been hiding for 3 years ago because her ex-husband had abused her for years and three years ago she was almost killed by his hand. She does not want Seth to know and pity her. She finally tells him she was attacked just not by whom. Told him she was in coma and almost died 3 times.
Agent 12 working in security pretended he had not met her but actually helped her to be safe and how to hide.
Someone at the lab is trying to get the program they are working on. Setting up Julia and Seth as the ones behind the sabatoge. Mathew trusts both Seth and Julia. Seth and Julia almost trust each other but they have both been abused in the past and is hard to trust others.
Julia's ex-husband is out of prison after only 3 years. Even while in prison he would call and threaten her 4 to 5 times a week. She has had 14 unlisted phone numbers and her cell and new apartment are not even in her name. But Karl has had help finding her always.
Thier is a terrorist group inside the United States that has the missile and now wants the new technology they are developing against the use of it. Can turn the missile back to thier home. They want the power of having both and want to get back at the goverment. They are not afraid to use it.
I really enjoyed this novel. High suspense level. Like Vicki Hinze novels and plan to read more especially if they are as good as this one is.
I was given this ebook to read in exchange for honest review from Netgalley.

I got this book after seeing that the author would be speaking at locally and I wondered if her work was any good. I wasn't disappointed, it was very good. Fast moving, suspenseful, action, intrigue and surprisingly clean (language, etc). I couldn't put it down once I started it, it was a fun read.

Child abuse, terror all unbelievable
Two geniuses working to protect the nation with the mob hidden in the background . This plot is laughable. It was a pain to wade to the final end.

I got this book, for free, for signing up for something that Amazon was offering. It sounded decent, so I gave it a try. For the most part, I did enjoy the story. At times, it was quite far fetched, and hard to believe, at all. But, isn't that what fiction is all about? To suspend belief, and just go with it? The beginning of the book had a very unedited feel to it. It was like words were switched up in sentences, and because of that, I almost gave up. But, I kept on, and it got much better (almost as if a different person wrote the majority).
While this wasn't a book that I'd go out of my way to read, it was a way to pass time. It had adventure, mystery, thrill and some romance. And it had a cute 6 year old boy, Jeff.... whom you just can't help but fall completely in love with.

I would definitely read another book by Vicki Hinze. A black-ops thriller with a love story combined--one of my favorite kind of books! Both Seth & Julia had been victims of abuse--Seth as a child and Julia more recently with her ex-husband. They had worked together on a project and Julia disappeared and was almost killed by her husband. He continues to threaten her from prison. Seth hunts her down for another job and they have to keep a missile from exploding while dealing with the husband who is now loose. Can they save the world and trust each other enough to fall in love?

I had read many of Hinze's books released in the Christian market and wanted to see how she did in the "secular" market. I liked the book. It is definitely a character driven novel although there is plenty of action too. We do see characters grow through scars to be able to love again. It is important for those who have read Hinze in the Christian genre to know that there is some language and immorality in this book. It is done in such a way that I was not offended.

I would have rated this a five star except it got off to a slightly slow start.
I have never read Vicki Hinze before but guarantee I will be reading her again.
I love the fact that the story covered more than just the main characters. The author also let you into the thoughts of the villain. The story was full of suspense, secrecy and bough doubt and self-doubt. The ending was right up to a nail biter and left you wanting to jump ahead.

I absolutely loved this book. It is very well written. Fast paced. I love how the author interweaves the characters past into the storyline. One of my favorite things about this book is that every detail is well thought out, furthering the storyline.

I read this a few years ago and really liked it. I think it was my first romantic military suspense. Hmmm, I think I should find this and read it again...
