As a reader one thing I absolutely love is being able to revisit characters that I loved. In Code of Silence we are given not only that, but a chance to see that just like in real life the characters in our favorite books don't just ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after. They have bumps and have to work to keep their relationship together. These characters are genuine, and real, and make you feel like you're visiting with old friends. Code of Silence is a must-read for anyone who enjoys Marliss Melton's books, and if you've never read her books this is a great chance to get to know her writing. You'll be hooked, I promise!

Ophelia had been in happily wedded bliss with her new husband Navy SEAL Vinny DeInnocentis, but when she found out she was pregnant she is completely thrown for a loop. Ophelia has been so focused on her gritty reporting often exposing falsehoods in the political systems, that she knows once she announces she is pregnant that career will be sidelined. Now on an assignment to expose Pennsylvania's governor, Ophelia may risk everything she has for a story.


This is a follow up story to one of Marless Melton's previous novels. I thought this was unexpected, although I did not know the history between Vinny and Ophelia, it was easy to pick up and no doubting the love shared between the two. Intriguing read.

I'm a big Vinny fan, Ophelia...not so much. She's self-centered and thinks nothing of keeping secrets from him as a matter of routine. It's pretty effortless for her and this time it had disastrous results. Her epiphany at the end still wasn't enough to redeem this character and Vinny was too forgiving. However, the action in the story was great and kept me turning the pages so it earned it a half star. 3.5 stars
