Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by
Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading.
Friday 56 is hosted by
Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and share a non-spoilery sentence or two.
This week I'm featuring Breach of Honor by Janice Cantore.
As a police officer in Table Rock, Oregon, Leah Radcliff puts her life on the line to help others every day. But at home, Leah’s battling her own personal nightmare: Brad, her abusive husband, a fellow officer, celebrated hero, and beloved son of a powerful prominent family. Brad’s violent outbursts and suspicious activities have left Leah physically and emotionally scarred, until one desperate action to put a stop to his abuse results in deadly consequences.
Though public opinion seems ready to convict Leah, Officer Clint Tanner is one of the few to believe she acted in self-defense. As he works with Leah’s attorney to produce the evidence they need, new truths about Brad’s dark side come to light—and reveal a deep-rooted problem in Table Rock. There are some who have breached their sworn duty to serve and protect . . . and they’ll do anything to keep their secret safe.

"You're going to wear out a path," Gretchen chided Leah as she paced the conference room.
What have you been reading lately?
This sounds like a great read! Honestly, Leah is in an impossible position there, so no wonder she's frantically pacing! I'm definitely going to look this up, thank you for featuring it! I hope you have a lovely weekend :)

DeleteHave you read this author before?
ReplyDeleteI read one other book by her, Drawing Fire, years ago. I really liked it and always intended to read more from her, but never got around to it. Have you read anything by her?
DeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend! :)
I haven't, but I'm intrigued by this one. I'll have to see if my library has any of her books.
DeleteI hope your library has some of her books. :)
