Shadow Assassin

(4.5) What a treat! I have not read book 1 but I am definitely going to find it and read it. What a concept, but then not all that far fetched! Charley (women) who we never see is the person on the phone, who has the contacts and sets things in motion. (a slight Charlie Angel take off?) We immediately care about the two main characters and the twists and turns make take the story up a notch. For you hard core spicy romance lovers there are some sizzling scenes. Action, Romance, Mystery and the our intrepid Seals makes this a win-win. Each book is written by a different author, but Charley is in all. Thanks for the arc! All thoughts and opinions are my own which I freely volunteer to share.

4.5 Stars This is book 2 in the Shadow SEALs series and it features Dane “Striker” Ryan and Anya Federov/Alexa Sokolov. The whole “Charley” scenario needs to have a brief explanation in each book, otherwise you feel like you jumped into the middle of a story without explanation. I liked the semi-slow build of attraction between them. I also liked the build up of the mystery and suspense. The characters were fantastic! It was a shorter book but with a fulfilling and complete story. This is a wonderful and trusted author, sure to bring you highly entertaining stories full of romance and suspense.
