Free A Soldiers Honor (The Riley Code #1) Constructed By Regan Black Provided As Digital

sitelinkThe Riley Code Matt Riley and Bethany Trent met at West Point when they were, fell in love, and Bethany got pregnant.
Not wanting to make Matt choose between family or career, she dropped out of West Point to be a single mother.
She also didn't want to live in Matt's shadow, and wanted to make her own life choices, Apparently, the only way for her to achieve this was to not allow Matt to have anything to do with son Caleb WHATSOEVER, even though he pays child support and by all accounts, is a great guy.
Matt can't even tell his own family that he's a father,

And Matt just goes along with this,

It isn't until Caleb isthat he learns the truth about his father, thanks to some data breach in the military that uncovered the fact Bethany received additional income through the child support payments.
Then someone starts threatening and attacking Matt, Bethany and Caleb, It seems someone wants revenge on Matt's father, Benjamin Riley, a retired general, by hurting those that Benjamin loves.
Matt tries to protect Bethany and Caleb from harm, while constantly getting told by

Bethany that what is happening to them is all his fault.


And Matt just goes along with this,

We all want our romantic heroes to be strong, stoic, protective, passionate and patient i, e. perfect, lol, but author Regan Black demotes Matt from being either alpha or beta to total eunuch, No matter how fucking awful this bitch Bethany is to him, he just keeps on taking it, "Never see my son foryears, never tell anyone I know about him ever sounds like a good deal to me!" Really, Matt Why on EARTH would he go along with this He likes to remind Bethany that he could have been awful and challenged Bethany for visitation rights, like this is a good thing.
Um, no, Matt. You're a decent, standup guy, Bethany knows you're a decent standup guy, Her stipulations are grotesque and make no sense, It is your RIGHT to have some sort of visitation agreement in place,

I couldn't get past it, Bethany's selfishness denied her son access to a father who wanted him foryears! It's repugnant, And Matt isn't much better, Is he that enthralled by Bethany's magic vagina that he'd completely castrate himself to go along with her unfair and outrageous decisions The fact that Caleb mostly accepts their decisions was disappointing.
He should have emancipated himself pronto, Bethany keeps treating Matt like shit for the entirety of the book, Basically imagine a guy begging a woman to love him and be nice to him forpages and her just throwing it back in his face and you might have some idea how stomachchurning this was to read.


The suspense element Absolutely dead on arrival, We don't know who is targeting the Rileys and we never find out, This is despite at one point being told that the bad guy's grunts had given him up, The character of Alex even says, "They did flip on the man who hired them, " Just a few pages later, the anonymous bad guy is relieved because his grunts didn't have any information that would give authorities any leads.
Huh That's just flatout bad writing, Basically, by the end of this book, we have no idea why the fuck all this even happened in the first place.
And Bethany and Matt don't do anything to get to the bottom of who's stalking them other people off the page are doing the investigating.
All our h and h do is rehash why Bethany would never let Matt see Caleb and Matt repeatedly capitulating and telling Bethany she made the right choice.


Blech.

I don't know why I gave this book the honour of even finishing it, A Solider Honor is the first book in the Riley's Side its a romantic suspense, I enjoyed reading about these two characters Matt and Bethany, It was well written and a page turner, I look forward to reading more of these series, I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of these book and the thoughts and opinions are my own.
Unique take on single mom, Beth raising her child, Caleb alone with financial support from the father, Dad, Matt, knew about Caleb but respected her wishes to not be part of his life because of his career.
This I did not agree with because he is a good man, . but when you read the story you will see how it started and life moves so it continued!
I loved this story only thing that bothered me was waiting so long to meet his dad.
But it is an important part of the book that he is older!! Caleb is a smart kid amp I liked his resourcefulness!!
Interesting twist to have father and son meet up just before a crazy twist to their lives, worked perfectly!

Cannot wait to read about the rest of the Riley's!!

I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion and I give thisstars!! I loved this book I can't wait for the next one.
Matt and Beth's love shined through even when she was afraid he was a great dad and family guy what she gave up for him was something, How Matt and Connor interacted was like no time was lost between them I am so glad they got an HEA all three of them becoming a family look forward to more of this series.
The story is okay, far fetched, but okay, Usually I enjoy a series better if each book can be read as a 'stand alone' and I just do not feel that way about this book.
I do want to read the next book, but it is with the hope that it will clarify the behavior of the bad guy and the Riley Family.
Bethany and Matt sound like a nice couple, well, maybe, Bethany and Matt have a lot of internal dialog about topics that concern them both, but do not share what they have been thinking for fifteen years with each other.
To me it is no surprise then, that they do not seem reach a better understanding with each other by the end of the book.
Matt and Bethany have a great sexual attraction to each other, Throughout the book the sexual attraction does not seem to connect to the emotional story of the characters, I admit I do not have a very good understanding of sexual politics, but in this book the way it was handled was uncomfortable for me.
The bad guy has immense wealth, an army of people who will follow him to death, and has people all over the United States, but no US intelligence agency has any awareness of this guy

Bookin Regan Blacks new series The Riley Code I asked for an arc and was fortunate enough to receive.
The book started off with action right away, which I enjoy Then you get to know the characters except for the bad, bad, bad guy as more things happen.
I want to be a member of the Riley family, Maybe a sister, so I can meet Alex, I know our men and women who are in the service have a higher code than I do, I say this, because I wanted to smack Bethany, She chose to raise her son as a single mother, There is a lot of anguish and as they deal with issues that target their safety and some I think she brought on herself.
Matt, seems almost too good to be true, He sees that he could have made different choices and does let some feelings show, but I don't know.
That is a thin line to walk, noble, self sacrificing and wanting best for the family, There is a mystery who is the bad guy, what transpired to bring this on, and there is steam when.
I am hoping bookis Alex, This is a well rounded romantic suspense that provides true enjoyment, and if your like me a little anger as you want too smack Bethany , lol.
All thoughts an opinions are my own and were unsolicited, One soldiers longlost secret is alive and well

Regan Blacks thrilling new miniseries: The Riley Code

When a security snafu turns his world upside down, Major Matt Riley reunites with his longlost son.
And fourteen years later, the military man is still captivated by his ex, Bethany Trent, Matt must convince her that their new family bond is for keepsbut first, he must keep them alive This story really was interesting and I had different feelings throughout.
Matt was a great character and I have to say he had a lot of patience, Bethany gave me mixed signals, At times I felt she was doing what she did to help Matt and at other times I felt she was wrong with how she did things.
But by the end of the book I liked her, Lots of action and an HEA, Caleb was also a great character and I really enjoyed how he reacted to the entire situation all the way through.
I am looking forward to more of the Rileys and their stories, Loved it!!.
