Publisher's summary

The first in the Honor series, Above All, Honor introduces single-minded Secret Service Agent Cameron Roberts and the woman she is sworn to protect - Blair Powell, the daughter of the President of the United States. Cam's duty is her life - and the only thing that keeps her from self-destructing under the unbearable weight of her own deep personal tragedy. However, she hasn't counted on the fact that the beautiful, willful first daughter will do anything in her power to escape the watchful eyes of her protectors, including seducing the agent in charge. Both women struggle with long-hidden secrets and dark passions as they are forced to confront their growing attraction amidst the escalating danger drawing ever closer to Blair. From the dark shadows of rough trade bars in Greenwich Village to the elite galleries of Soho, each must balance duty with desire and, ultimately, choose between love and honor.

A Legendary Author

What did you love best about Above All, Honor?

As with every book by Radclyffe, the plot is compelling.

What other book might you compare Above All, Honor to and why?

If I HAD to pick another book that I would compare to the "Honor" series, it may be "The Lonely Hearts Club". It's hard to say.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene is when Cam snatches Blair from a club when Blair least expects it.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A sacrifice for love.

Any additional comments?

Radclyffe is in the top 99% of Lesbian Fiction authors. I look forward to many more books, as well as the books authored by LL Raand.

author

If you could sum up Above All, Honor in three words, what would they be?

i can't do that! but what i can say is... Abby Craden has one sexy voice!

Which character – as performed by Abby Craden – was your favorite?

i've only heard her in the Honor series, and i like them all. but if i had to choose, probably Blair with Honor a very close second!

liked one MC, disliked the other

the story in itself is okay, however one of the MCs is pretty unlikable. she's constantly putting people in danger and using people

Interesting

The story kept my interest. I thought the readers voice changes was odd and unattractive. I would recommend.

I'm hooked

Just started this new series & I absolutely loved book 1. I can't wait to move on to the rest! And as usual, Abby Craden was awesome. My favorite narrator.

Guarding the one you love is an impossible Honer.

The overshadowed freedom when you are daughter to the President feels like a fish bowl life. The very hot connection Cam and Blair share must be ignored to keep Blair safe. A great story and Abby Craden beings everyone to life. A great start to a fabulous series.

“Above All Honor” by Radclyffe

This is one of my favorite books! The story is exciting, suspenseful and romantic. The heat between Secret Service Agent Cameron Roberts and Artist/U.S. President’s daughter, Blair Powell, is hot and dangerous as well. Abby Craden’s narration brings even more heat to the fire!

Typical Radclyffe

I've read and listened to a lot of Radclyffe/LLRand and they all share a few things that have always bugged me. for one there is always a very distinct separation between characters i.e. butch and femme. and it's more than that. the butches are always nearly the same personality and the femmes are usually near enough the same though there is more variety there.
another thing is that the story is actually good and the mystery intreging. but it's detracted by all the raging uncontrollable labido. it just seems that everyone is a represed nympho maniac and it distracts from the quality of the story.
lastly the sex scenes. more so than most butch/femme romances the arousal and sex scenes have a distinct m/f feel. there's a lot of "getting hard". with very little change or imagination you can substitute the butches with men and story would be almost conpletly unaltered.
as far as the narrator is concerned. she's great in all ways but one. she carries the story and she has a pleasant voice and good timing. but her butch sex voice is just disturbing. in fact a lot of the butch angry voice has the same problem. it seriously sounds like someone who is pissed off and constipated.

Classic lesfic read

I love this book and initially listed to it from the audible plus catalogue. When it was removed I loved it so much I bought it. I’ve never been a fan of anything action but I love this series especially this first book. The love-hate, push-pull, sexual tension works so well. This book series centers on special agent Cameron Ross and first-daughter Blair Powell and is an excellent mix of sexual tension, romance, action and contains an actual plot (honestly, sometimes a big ask for lesfic).

This book is also Abby Craden at her finest - the narration brings the book to life and I can’t imagine picking up a physical copy of the booking and enjoying it as much. Buy this book!
