Breach of Trust
LETHAL REUNION
Meghan McGuire's ready to put her military career behind her and start her dream job helping troubled children—until a man from her past reappears. Tate Walker is supposed to be dead. But now he's standing on her doorstep, telling her she's in danger. Tate never thought he'd see Meghan again…and certainly not as the target of the hacker he's trying to bust. With both of their lives in danger, they have to work together to hunt down the criminal. But when Tate learns about the past Meghan's been hiding, he's not sure if she's still the woman he once loved. Or if he can trust her with his survival—and his heart.

I just kept thinking about these characters since reading this book today, so it gets all five stars. I was going to give it four when I correctly diagnosed the bad guy, but Tate and Meghan are just so special that they get an extra star! :) Definitely will be buying more from this author.

Oh my word. This one was so different and terrifying because it involved cyberterrorism which is a very real thing in this day and age. I literally had to pause from reading a couple of times I was so breathless lol. I love the relationship between Megan and Tate. Great chemistry!!!

Jodie Bailey hits it out of the park once again with this fast-paced, action-packed riveting romantic suspense! Witty dialogue, strong heroine & hero, and a swoon-worthy romance makes this book one of my favorites from Bailey. I received a copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

I really wished I could like this more. But it was sloggy and wordy, like the author was putting words on paper to 'write', not to engage me or tell a story. It was a LOT of words that got tedious, after a while.
The story was also in the middle of a series, which we're NOT told, and that always pisses me off. When we come into the middle of something as readers, with all of this history and previous baddies and relationships, it feels like turning a TV show on halfway thru. It really, really sucks.
And then there's the stupidity: Pg 74 - "I don't know who Stephanie is, but if she was with Tate and now isn't, she better hope we never meet!" WHAT. IS. THAT?!?!?
Pg 89 - "If Megan believed God had any part in her life before, she no longer did."
Pg 163 - "If Tate left her, where would her security lie? With God."
Why the 180? Because the author said so. It came absolutely out of NOWHERE, and was shoddily done. Worse?
Pg 164 - "She didn't need Tate, she needed what Tate had. Peace... by being held by the Creator." Except Tate didn't tell her he'd found faith. He told her about his B&B and marriage, but he didn't tell her the marriage dissolved when he found the Lord. The author told *US* that, but Megan never got that info. So... more eye-roll-worthy writing.
Pg 99 - "Gun down." "You'll have to kill me, first, and then you won't get information." (((insert the point where you incapacitate the baddie... BUT NO. Because crappy writing.)))
So yeah, I wanted to like the book, but the author didn't do a good enough job for that. And I'm not saying the characterizations weren't good or the action boring or anything. It just... lacked. Clarity, because it's in a series, and good writing.
Sorry. It was good enough for me to get all the way thru, which is *something* for a LI Suspense, and thus the three stars. But not good enough to keep, or look for the others in her series.

I really enjoyed this love-inspired, suspenseful romance. I voluntarily chose to review this book and I've given it a 5* rating. Because of the kind of violence, I'm not sure this is for the under 18 readers. This story grabbed me from the first and it sure kept me turning the pages. This is a military group story and the work they do for our nation's security. This was released in 2016 but the problems they work on face our world today. They do a lot of security checks, because you just can't always know who to trust.

While I'm behind with reading Jodie's books, this was the best so far. From beginning to end I wad drawn in and I really loved these characters.
One thing I've never had to worry about with these books is plot goods or"how is that even possible?" Jodie does her research and it shows.
I'm always recommending her books and this is no exception.

You will be trying to solve this mystery as you read about Meghan McGuire's journey from working at a school (after serving in the military) to being pursued by a hacker terrroist to discovering a man who she thought was dead was actually alive and trying to help her!! And that is just in the first few chapters!! A great read that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Trust can be a thin line, one in which we either trust someone whole-heartedly or one in which it can be so betrayed by said person that it creates a barrier, forever tainting our view of human kind.
Meghan once trusted a fellow military colleague that it changed her whole life. She trusted a close friend and employer, but when that trust is severely questioned, she begins down a road she never asked to travel! Tate wasn’t supposed to be alive, but when he reappears in her life after four years, she begins to question everything & everyone. Is God trying to tell her something, undermining what she’s always believed so that He can show her that He’s the only one she can truly trust? They must work together to bring down an unknown cyber-terrorist. One so powerful, that he knows every move they make & one they can’t hide from no matter how far they run. They both have secrets long held in the past, ones that must come to light in spite of the pain it will cause, in order to move forward.
This story had me from the start, grabbing my shirt collar and dragging me along for the ride. Strong elements of suspense, depth of character & vivid descriptions had me invested in the lives of both Tate & Meghan. Along with the faith the author threads throughout, it made for a refreshing lesson in forgiveness and looking toward the true source of trust. I enjoyed the secondary characters too, wanting to go back to learn their history. A highly recommended read for those who love stories of edge of your seat suspense, the forgiveness & grace only God can extend & characters so real you feel like you’ve made new friends!
*I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review, to which I have provided here. Thank you Jodie for the kind of inspirational suspense story I can’t get enough of! I look forward to future endeavors! *

Meghan McGuire is on her way to starting a new life helping troubled children, when a ghost from her past Tate Walker appears.
This starts the non stop, roller coaster action as Tate and Meghan race to prove she is not a traitor.
This is my kind of book with suspense oozing from every word and every page to the very end. It's the kind of book you read in a marathon reading session.
The characters were well developed with a storyline that reaches out and grabs you.
Throughout the book we see God's forgiveness, love, redemption and protection.
Another fantastic book by Jodie Bailey and I look forward to the next.A copy of this book was provided in exchange for an honest review.

Breach of Trust has a brisk pace from the very first page, when the main character's distant and more recent past collides with the present. And go! We are off on a journey of deceit, lies of omission, as well as personal growth, both spiritual and emotional. Perhaps the best of Bailey's works, yet! It's because she has created lovable, relatable characters that I really wanted to root for. I love how personalities from her previous books make an appearance, but, even if you haven't read her previous books, this one holds its own. I couldn't put it down!

I just love Jodie Bailey's books and this is another to add to my list! Jodie knows how to keep the reader engaged and guessing. Another page turner and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. Can't wait for more books by Jodie!

I loved this one. This author certainly knows how to combine faith, suspense and romance and write a story that had me hooked from the first pages and kept me reading to see what could happen next. This is one of those books that I read in one setting because I couldn't put it down after I started it. It is also a wonderful story reflecting God's love, forgiveness and protection for His children. I was given a copy of this book in return for an honest review, and this is another one from this author that I definitely recommend to the reader who enjoys really good Christian suspense.

Adrenaline rush from start to finish. Don't blink or you'll miss something. Lethal reunion is right -- love the connection that Tate and Meghan already have. It makes the romance angle so fraught with tension. I swear the air crackled around me while I was reading! Whew! And the emotional longing on both sides -- melted me into a puddle of anticipation. The. Whole. Read. Then there's the relentless, sinister pursuit of an unknown assailant who always seems to be a step ahead of them. My head's still spinning. My heart's still pumping. Breach of Trust makes a great cardio workout!
