Having caught glimpses of both FMC Teddy and MMC Xander in the previous novels, I was already invested in them as characters. So, whilst Honor has tropes that are usually hard nos for me, with it being the final novel in the three author Skyridge Hotshots trilogy, I was determined to see the series through to the end, with the intention that I would not to rate/review unless I thought I could do so fairly. I am glad that I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, as I thoroughly enjoyed the book and thought it was a solid finish for the series overall. Whilst there were a few aspects that I personally didn’t swoon over, I could appreciate each within the context of the story and was totally engaged in Teddy’s and Xander’s character arcs as well as their sweet, emotional romance. There’s a strong focus on grief in this story, with both Teddy and Xander having some serious trauma to work through. I appreciated the thought that Baker clearly put into writing such a heavy topic, balancing pacing and depth during Teddy’s and Xander’s journeys. This was my first novel of hers, and it won’t be my last.
