About this item

It’s an ordinary workday when intelligence analyst Lexie Martin learns about a horrific chemical weapon attack abroad. Just an ordinary day...until a stranger breaks into her house and warns her to forget what she saw and heard, setting off a chain of events Lexie thought only happened in movies. Falsely accused of stealing intelligence and unsure of who to trust, Lexie quickly realizes the significance of the intel and that she must do everything she can to keep it safe. And as she runs—maybe for her life—Lexie knows she needs something, or someone, to help her.

There’s a place for truths and lies, and sometimes you need both to get what you want. Lexie convinces the woman she’s only just started dating to “go on vacation” with her, hoping a constant companion and witness will keep them at a distance and the intel safe. But when she develops feelings for the beautiful and sweet Sophia Flores, she wonders if a relationship built on a foundation of secrets can ever work. That might not even matter, because when Lexie uncovers the truth, the price of it could be her freedom.

I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into when I picked up this book. It's part spy thriller, part romance, and there is a lot going on here. Evading capture while trying to work out what the intel means and what's going on has Lexie under a lot of stress. But of course, she isn't alone, having convinced Sophia to tag along with her, the woman that she's had a couple of dates with. Nothing is easy or straightforward, and this book lays the foundation for the rest of the series.

I loved the story! Noyes' writing style, Lexie's character, so well done. It dragged me in, made me laugh, and kept me fully engrossed. There are some absolutely brilliant lines in here that are still making me smile, and the mystery is so well woven together. The romance is sweet, and Sophia and Lexie are a great couple, and I really look forward to seeing how it further develops. This story wraps up well, but I'm excited to see how the fallout from her mission plays out, and what the future holds for her.

It was my first book by Noyes, and certainly won't be my last.

Wonderful!

I have to say that when I read what I considered to be this author's finest book, "Alone", I was doubtful that she would rise to that same level of penmanship again. So, I was so pleasantly surprised when I read "Integrity". This book is perhaps Ms. Noyes finest work, and this from a reader who owns everything she has written; all of which are excellent. The first person telling was both revealing and riveting; the characters well developed and intriguing. The pace of the plot was a little like driving down a hill and realizing halfway down that the brakes don't work. Thrilling, to be sure, but with a touch of humorous irony. I'm pleased to see that there will be a sequel, although I'm sad I will have to wait until November to enjoy it. I'm looking forward to "Leverage" and hope that it maintains the same level of impeccable writing I enjoyed so well in this installment. Bravo, EJ, this was amazing!

Fantastic. Such in depth, on the edge of your seat rollercoaster ride that I absolutely loved. Noyes never disappoints and I can't wait to read the next one.

Lexie is an intelligent analyst who is given some disturbing information. Due to a break in at her apartment she has to go on the run to investigate this information. But before she does, she goes on a late breakfast date with Sophia. Lexie tells her that she'll be gone for a couple of weeks and asks her if she'd like to come with her. Sophia says yes. Then the mystery behind the information is poked into. This is a great page turner! You won't be sorry you've read it! Definitely 5 stars!!

I absolutely LOVE this authors books. GOLD is my all-time favorite but she has never written a bad one. This one is different than all of her other books but equally good. Great main characters with wonderful chemistry. The storyline is very exciting and believable. Only bad thing is having to wait until the next one comes out. Buy it you won't regret it and if you have not read Gold and other wonderful books she has written you are just missing out!

I give this book 5 stars. Finally a novel that keeps you glued to your recliner with the main character a lesbian. This novel had substance. I can't wait to read Book 2 of the Halcyon Division Series. I'm happy to have found another author who I can read.

EJ Noyes did overall well for her first spy, not spy book. The spy, not spy parts, were interesting and easy to follow. There were a lot of inner thoughts throughout the book from Lexie as it was in her first-person point of view. The inner thoughts did feel somewhat redundant towards the end, and there was some lagging off and on throughout the book.

The romance overall was decent. There were bits of steam and sweet moments, but again I would say it was only decent. But as a whole, the novel was interwoven between the two topics well (romance/spy-not spy).

However, I doubt I'll read this book again, much like how I won't read Schuss again. I love this author, but this novel and Schuss haven't been my absolute favorite. 4 out of 5.
