Cutting It Close (Code Of Honor Book 1) Kindle Edition

When the only thing you’re good at is running or fighting, is a second chance at love even possible?

Captain Maddox Stone is ready to put the men who messed with his family on a fast train to hell. Eliminating the enemy is the only thing he’s good at anyway. He sure as hell isn’t good at connecting. Of course, on the heels of that thought, his past comes walking through the door. Will he finally have the guts to explain what really happened that night so long ago?

Nothing on earth could bring Lieutenant River Seeger back to the ranch until his grandfather calls for help. With no other recourse, he returns to the Triple R, but makes it clear it’s for a limited time. He’s left the past behind and with it, his youthful dreams. But, since he’s here, shouldn’t he at least get some answers?

Two soldiers faced with the past. One man struggles with a tragic secret while the other one demands answers. What’s even worse? When Maddox deploys on a mission and River takes on the kidnappers, time is running out for one of them. The only thing for certain is they’re definitely cutting it close for any chance at a happy ending.

In typical Reese Knightley style, Cutting It Close is a fast paced, slow burn, action & adventure romance with a big cast of characters and a definite HEA. This book is the first in a series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone.
*Cobalt Security, Code of Honor, and Out For Justice series are loosely connected.

    So Maddox’s father threatens to kill River so Maddox sends him away. The next day his father dies so threat over but Maddox never tells River the truth now it’s eight years later and he still refuses to tell him why he sent him away he’d rather let him be hurt. Yeah he’s dealing with the aftermath of a lifetime of abuse but you send away the person you love for eight long years. It makes no sense this storyline is a stretch to believe. Also, and this is kind of a dumb thing to be annoyed with but I’ve read a lot of the books in these series and why is it every meal in every book is chili and cornbread? Must be a big favorite for this author because it’s in almost every book, lol.

    Reese Knightley is a new author for me I'm so happy I found. I loved the military type of stories by Annabella Stone and was looking for something similar. I couldn't have made a better choice. At first I wasn't sure, I was afraid this story would be more"cowboy" than " military", but it turned out to have plenty military action, strong world building, great characters and I loved the story line and how all series are connected.

    I enjoyed this story. All the elements - action, love, danger, team camaraderie and loyalty - come together. The various special forces teams are still a bit confusing, but that fades into the background. In this book, Maddox and River are separated, and this loss haunts both. It takes Triton’s kidnapping at the family ranch to bring them back into contact. A later mission into Africa turns disastrous, bringing the harsh reality of militant warfare into view. The warm ending is very satisfying, leaving us curious about what is going on with the seriously wounded Spencer and Liam.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Action-packed, emotional stories
    Reviewed in Germany on October 9, 2022

    This is one of eight books in the Code of Honor series. These books take you through the lives of the men and women who deal with the dangerous world we live in. Reading these books is like being a journalist embedded with a military unit. But the jobs these military members do are always done in top secret and must remain that way. Their military units have missions that are often off-the-books types. The world we live in is truly a dangerous place and seems to be getting more dangerous every day. These soldiers deal with the danger and help keep us safe. As an observer of their lives and jobs you will find joy and sadness, bringing tears and heartbreak. The eight books are standalones but I recommend you start with book one and go from there. The main characters are sprinkled through all eight books making the series read line one large novel. Recommended reading!

    I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait for the next in the series! There was a lot happening but the story never felt rushed or disjointed. It flowed smoothly from one point to the next and kept me on the edge of my seat to find out what happened next. So of course I had to read it all in one sitting! Lol. The action was griping and the romance between Maddox and River was believable. I could see and feel the love between them even while they were work through the issues from the past. The emotions both experienced were relevant and understandable. I really don't want to give any spoilers so I happily recommend this book. It has the right mix of hot alpha males and some take no nonsense females who gladly work as a team.
