Honor's Refuge, by Hallee Bridgeman, is the third in a series. I didn't read the first two, but this is a stand-alone novel, so I don't think that was a problem. The passion of the protagonists to help victims of domestic violence was compelling. I liked both Melissa and Phil as characters, although I thought Phil's hang-ups in not dating Melissa seemed to stretch a bit too long. There is plenty of action in this book, and it kept me interested even though some parts strained credibility. As a Catholic in a very active faith community, I found the characters' distinction between their church and Lola's Catholic relatives' lack of faith an eye-rolling bit on pages 236-7.
Overall, I enjoyed this book, but several plot points seemed too far-fetched, particularly towards the end.
I received this book from the publisher, Revell, for the purpose of writing a review, but all opinions are my own.
