Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
A lengthy stint as an Air Force wife has provided Hinze (Shades of Gray; Duplicity) with plenty of fuel for her edgy military-themed romances. Her latest romantic thriller centers around a civilian psychologist, Dr. Sara West, who has been coerced into military duty. Acting undercover as an Air Force major, Sara enters a maximum security facility in Mississippi to direct a short-term research project on five patients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. All the patients are men, and all have been reduced to a catatonic state, each one repeatedly uttering the phrase "I wept." It's Sara's job to find out what has happened to them. She's drawn to one patient she calls Joe, a man who worked as a Shadow Watcher (a spy who spies on spies). As Sara helps Joe heal, she finds herself falling in love; through him she learns that "I wept" is an acronym for a place more horrible than the human mind can endure. Gripping and adrenaline-charged, Hinze's plot will appeal to fans who like their suspense razor sharp. (Dec.)

Three Stars,
By girlysogroovy (Flower Mound, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acts Of Honor (Mass Market Paperback)
Although the plot was very clever and the book well-written, some parts of the book were unbelievable, especially the secret facility housing the government's throw-aways. (I think it may be because I don't want to believe such a building exists in our country.) In addition, the romantic relationship between Dr. Sara West and "Joe" was frivalous; the book may have been better without it.

Acts of Honor... Just Wow!,

This review is from: Acts Of Honor (Mass Market Paperback)
As someone who seriously dislikes suspense (military or not), I picked up this book one evening for "light" reading to get to sleep, assuming I'd be easily able to put it down. WRONG!! I read the last page at 4 a.m.! Ms. Hinze delivers a powerful book with compelling characters. Being ex-military myself, I had no problem at all with the premise, right down to the typically arrogant military mindset that has them sending the heroine in pretending to be a Captain without the slightest coaching on what a military officer should know as a matter of course. I couldn't help feeling that it made the story all the more believable! Ms. Hinze had me hanging right til the last minute. I really-truly-honest-to-gosh could NOT decide if the man who sent her in was wearing a white hat or a black hat, til the very end, and I was HANGING off the edge of the seat to find out (literally... at 3 a.m. my roommate complained about the light, and I went into the bathroom and spent the last hour finishing the book sitting on the edge of the tub!). I haven't found this kind of page-turner for years and years... Thank you, Vicki Hinze! I'm run-not-walking to get Shades of Gray and Duplicity!

This review is from: Acts Of Honor (Mass Market Paperback)
Dr. Sara West is working undercover for the military. She is a civilian pretending to be a Captain who is also a doctor. She is working in a secret military hospital with 5 post traumatic stress syndrome patients. She needs to save them or they and her will be terminated. She finds herself falling in love with one of her patients. She hopes to get thru to him but it's hard when he attacks her for wearing white. Why is he afraid of white? And why do all the patients repeat the phrase "I wept"? Not knowing who to trust Dr. Sara is fighting for her life and the lifes of others who have worked to keep our country safe. If you like this book please read Shades of Gray and Duplicity. Both great novels.
