Code of Honor

I've read one of Kathryn Shay's books before, and thought it was good. I read some reviews about the firefighter series books, and decided to try one. I fell in love with the story and characters of Code of Honor. I got frustrated so many times with the book, because I felt for Chelsea and Jake in certain situations throughout the book. The emotions of the characters are very realistic...it felt as if I were Chelsea at times just with how wonderfully the story flowed! I highly recommend reading this book! Shay is now one of my favorite authors!

Jake finds himself supervising a new firefighter in his team - unfortunately, Chelsea has a bad reputation because she got involved with a fellow coworker and ended up in a terrible situation.Now as he struggles with his attraction to her, he must also cope with what appear to be Chelsea's mistakes. In reality, someone who doesn't want her around is making it appear as if she were incompetent, and it is putting the team in danger.I loved these three books by Kathryn Shay. If you haven't read her, please do so, they are filled with great, real characters and details about the life and work of firefighters that make everything come alive.

Kathryn Shay is one of my favorite writers and this time she outdoes herself! Code of Honor is a wonderful story about two people with pain in their past who have the courage to overcome them -- and they do it with a lot of humor, passion and emotion. There aren't too many books with firefighter heroes -- and fewer with firefighter heroines. I almost wish there were, but only if they were this good! There are two more books in this series, but this one is my favorite. Ummmm...love that Jake! I can't recommend this exciting and fascinating story enough.

This latest in her contemporary series about firefighters is exceptionally well-written, sexy, emotional, and sometimes funny. I just love Jake and Chelsea together. Jake is stoic, gorgeous, and Chelsea's boss...Uh-oh! The story is irresistible. I hope this is not the last book in her series. I hope Delaney and Reed's story is next! I highly recommend the 1st two in this series, FEEL THE HEAT and THE MAN WHO LOVED CHRISTMAS. I Loooove this series!

Rockford, New York Fire Chief Talbot informs Lieutenant Jake Scarlatta that his team will inherit firefighter Chelsea Whitmore. Jake wants nothing to do with Chelsea . She had a bad run with her present assignment when she ended a relationship with a peer, Billy Milligan.Chelsea quickly proves she belongs with the crew and earns their respect. However, one member deeply feels women should never be firefighters and begins to do dirty tricks to make Chelsea look incompetent. As Chelsea worries about her future with the department, she and Jake fall in love. However, she vowed to never again have a personal relationship with a firefighter after Billy, who continues to stalk her. Jack vows to go by the book after ignoring problems so long that his best friend suffered while on his crew. Neither one wants the other, but love leaves both needing the other.Kathryn Shay's third "America's Bravest" tale warmly brings to a conclusion a wonderful contemporary series centering on an upstate New York fire department. CODE OF HONOR is filled with problems confronting firefighters and the department that makes for an exciting read. The lead characters are a beautiful duo and the return of the cast from the two previous novels makes the audience feel they are part of a community. Ms. Shay pays homage to the country's brave firefighters in an entertaining trilogy that will leave fans appreciating the efforts of professionals and the author who depict them accordingly.Harriet Klausner
