Short Story Review: "Honey Trap: A Noah Milano Short Story" by Jochem Vandersteen

A woman who uses her feminine charms in such a way to gain leverage/money/power, etc. is said to be using a “Honey Trap.” The Russians were very well known for this with several cases eventually making the news during the cold war. State secrets are not at stake in Honey Trap: A Noah Milano Short Story, but secrets almost at the same level are.

Blake Trainor had been working as a chemist for years at one of the bigger companies in the perfume industry. Those formulas are closely guarded propriety information. The fact that he was recently divorced and lonely wasn’t such a secret. That made him the target of an incredible hot young lady about a week ago as the story begins.

That meeting in a Hollywood club led to Blake Trainor taking her home and having a very good time for the rest of the evening. When he woke up the next day, the good time was long over, and it was nightmare time. He awoke to find a note that the very sexy young woman was, in fact, a minor. Pictures had been taken and unless he sent the formulas to a certain email account the pictures would be given to the police.

Blake Trainor certainly doesn’t want to give up the formulas. He also knows that going to prison is a really bad idea especially for a guy like him. He does the one smart thing he can do and hires security specialist Noah Milano to find the young lady, get the pictures, and resolve the ugly mess.

What follows is a quickly moving story of the hunt for the female blackmailer. A hunt that leads to quite a few complications along the way in this highly entertaining short story. At 13 pages this read is much shorter than The Death Business: A Noah Milano Novella  or Redemption: A Noah Milano Novelette, but provides a quick and excellent introduction to the Noah Milano character.
