Annabella Stone once again wrote a book that I could not put down and read it all in one sitting. I have yet to find a book by her that I do not love! Roman is the fourth book in the Tags of Honor series but for those of you who have read the previous books, you will be happy to know that the previous players in those reads are back again in this book!
Roman screwed up years ago when he broke things off with the only man that he has ever loved. Not only did he break it off, he did it in a way that undoubtedly hurt the man he loved. Now all these years later Roman is about to try and rescue Luc.
Luc works for a private military contractor. When on a mission to retrieve classified information, Luc is captured and tortured. His only hope is that he will be rescued before his captures get tired of not getting any information from him and kills him. Sadly the only person Luc knows would not give up on finding him is Roman but Luc has not faith that Roman will come for him after the way he ended things years ago.
Roman will move Heaven or Hell to find Luc. Though they are no longer together, Roman stills loves him and whoever has taken him better hope that he gets Luc back alive. When Roman finally finds where Luc is being held, members of Red Squadron move in to rescue him. Now that Roman has him back safely his only wish is that he could take back the things that he did to break Luc’s heart and have a chance to change his past mistakes.
With danger still lurking in the shadows and so many unanswered questions between Luc and Roman, is there any way that these two men could ever find their way back to one another? Will Luc ever be able to forgive Roman for his past mistakes? Who is it that turned on Luc in the first place?
This was such an incredible read! As always Annabella Stone delivered another action packed read that left me wanting the next book! I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next! Definitely a highly recommended read!

Twisted and slightly angsty story this one. Roman and Luc had a relationship but after a job messed with his head and career Roman ended it, leaving them both broken hearted and Luc with no idea why. This is about them re-connecting, sorting things out and figuring out why Luc was betrayed by someone in his own company, we don't actually get the answer to the last bit so I assume it will carry on into other books. I loved both characters so I hope somehow they figure out how to end up together in one squad instead of two working in different areas of the military or semi private sector under the government. There is a little action but not a whole lot, it's mostly just the two of them with appearances by others. Still a great read.

Annoyed
Will contain spoilers.
I love the characters in your books but the snarky inner conscious dialogue is getting annoying. I know everyone does this but sometimes what they’re thinking is completely inappropriate to the time frame. Now my pet peeve. Why on earth would you have a special forces operative have make out sessions in the middle of an operation when their lives are on the line. It just makes them look stupid and me skip pages or stop reading a book. Yes, I have done it before and I almost did it with this book. I understand you all have a literary license but come on. Otherwise I enjoyed the book and continuing with the series.

Emotions run high when Roman is sent in to rescue an operative that has been held captive buy the enemy. Leaving no man behind becomes more personal when the one man he loved and let slip away is the one he needs to bring home. But when Roman and Luc come eye to eye will it be hatred or love that brews? And will a life be the only thing that is rescued on this mission? With fast paced action and danger around every turn this was a great read. Annabella Stone created characters the reader cannot help but fall in love with while at the same time bringing a connection that cannot be missed. Love this series!!

Roman Walsh and Luc Brady have a history that ended in a breakup via a Dear John letter. Talk about cold. Now Roman is tasked with rescuing the man he's never gotten out of his heart or mind. The biggest problem is that Luc is in a country that his team is not allowed to operate in. So the mission is so far off the books that it's completely untraceable or so they hope. Finding a way to make things right between them is definitely not easy. Having to do it when one of their teams is being targeted makes it almost impossible. But love wins out even though it's a hard won victory.

Action packed
Roman and Luc. Together again after years apart. Can they each forget and forgive the issues from their past.
Roman has rescued Luc. Now he never wants to let him go. Can Luc get the truth from Roman as to why he left before?
I loved this friends to lovers story. This story also moves along an underlying plot line woven throughout the series.
4 stars because I felt the ending was too abrupt and unfinished.
4/5 stars

I love this series. Roman left the love of his life Lucifer. Now 6 years later Roman needs to save Lucifer before he ends up dead. This is an explosive read, from the first turn of the page. One of the things I love about this series is that every thing is woven together. I can’t get enough of this series and I look forward to reading more in the near future.

So good
I can't get enough of this series. It has all I want, action, adventure, and a lot of love. Roman knew he had to make it right with Luc and I loved how he went in to save him. And Luc made him work for his love. I like the cross over from the other series. I want the next book.

This book read like a hate crime. The only good Muslim is one who betrays their country to help Americans. All Muslim countries are shit holes, full of terrorists who will sell out their mother to make a quick buck. And the heroes are white people who get people of color killed for no good reason.
I will never read this author again. If you are an islamaphobe, you'll probably love it

Good story.
Same as the others. Getting the story of what make Roman tick. Interesting character in the other books. Didn't realize he had just about the same amount of baggage as everyone else. Love love. Then ran away instead of dealing with feelings. Then ended up being the white knight to the rescue. Not that he would have let anyone else rescue Luc.

Powerful
This was very powerful and intense story. Was glad to Roman finally get his head on straight where and who he totally belongs to. Can't wait to read more about red squadron and who destroyed their last base since this time it wasn't Cupid.

It's a good series that I have enjoyed reading. This one was shorter then the others. Luc and Roman make good match with a history of loving each before. This is their second chance..

Men, they find it hard to show their emotions. This story is more complicated because the two main characters have not seen each other for a few years.
This Series is excellent and I look forward to reading more and keeping them for reading again.

With love
A lot of action with bullets flying and a little bit of love on the side! Roman and Luc have a history and when Roman rescues Luc they realize that there is a need for closure! Grab your go bag because the road is bumpy!

Further edit needed
This reads more like a semifinal draft than a final work. It was extremely distracting trying to parse the phrasing and punctuation

These books just keep getting better and better! Suggestion..start with book one. It'll make more sense. But not required. More fun though

I love this interconnected series of works. These men are so tough but lovable. You route for them, cry for them and want them to get their man.
