I was iffy on the introduction of the new characters, but I ended up loving and looking forward to their POVs. There were quite a few fade to black moments and I felt like this was because of that. If the book was longer to prevent those moments I would have given the series my usual 5 stars

Blair and Cam in peril, federal agents falling in love, women with oddly masculine names, someone catches a bullet.
If that sounds like every book in the series, that's cos it is. Which is great if you enjoy the repetitive plotting and plenty of action within and without the bedroom. With Radclyffe, you know what you're going to get, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
The real problem with Code of Honor is the timeline. I picked it up straight after [b:Word of Honor|2205087|Word of Honor (Honor, #7)|Radclyffe|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388598976s/2205087.jpg|2210851], but it kept referring to events that don't occur in the latter. I found it very dislocating for the first chapters and couldn't fathom what I had missed.
After some googling it turns out that there's a crossover with Radclyffe's First Responders series, called [b:Oath of Honor|12921352|Oath of Honor (First Responders, #3)|Radclyffe|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1354053906s/12921352.jpg|18076600], which should probably be read before Code of Honor for the missing pieces.

On the plus side (particularly pertinent after watching Last Tango in Paris this week), no lesbians were killed in the making of this book. Hurrah!

Another good book by Radclyffe. I liked the earlier books in this series more, however this book points towards more to come in the future, which is definitely something to look forward to. I feel like the relationship between Sky and Loren is not as fully developed but hopefully, we will get to know more about these characters in the future.
