Bravely and Faithfully is the third book in the Cutter Kauai Sea Adventures series by Edward Hochsmann. Lieutenant Haley Reardon was a young Coast Guard excited to take command of her patrol boat and guide a new crew. While new to the job, she didn’t lack enthusiasm when her team was given a challenging mission: retrieve a Defense Intelligence Agency team from a Caribbean island. The team was originally there to grab hold of a crime syndicate boss, but things went downhill pretty quickly. It was now up to Haley and her team to jump right into the heart of the action, get the team out, and take them to safety. However, before she could do that, Haley had to make sure her team remained safe. What would she do when it was either her crew or the DIA team? Will she be able to save them all and get everyone to safety?
I haven’t read the previous novels in the series, but I had no issues with falling in love with Bravely and Faithfully. Haley was new to the team, which naturally meant she had a tough time integrating into it. She appeared aloof and detached initially, but the closer she got to know the team, the closer they became. Her chemistry with each of the members was great, but Haley’s connection with Ben was interesting. They had an understanding that transitioned well into the story. I enjoyed the action and the fast-paced narrative. The characters were incredible, the descriptions were great, and the plot was fantastic. There was never a dull moment in the story, and I was hooked from the get-go. I highly recommend this book and I will definitely be reading the first two novels in the series now.
