Mavery Ellscott’s first foray into writing was not romantic suspense. She wrote and published a neighborhood newspaper. A pretty big endeavor for an eight-year-old armed with scrap paper and her dad’s old typewriter. Total circulation—two. Fortunately, her later publications fared better. She’s even made it beyond the first round in a contest or two.

A conservationist, Mavery has won a few environmental awards. So, it’s no surprise she yearns to write a high-speed chase with eco-friendly cars.

Shadowed Storm: A Shadow Defense Security Thriller Book 4

This series just continues to keep me invested, looking forward to the next book already.

Alexis and Sebastian met in Paris thanks to Finley and Drake and the trouble they got into together last time. I thought they would be good together then and now I think they are great.

Alexis is in danger after accidentally discovering something that has the potential to be very dangerous. Sebastian is there to help her stay safe and maybe fall in love.

The adventure and suspense doesn’t let up one bit and I may have developed a little crush on Alexis after the shoe incident.

Shadowed Storm (Shadow Defense Security, #4)Shadowed Storm by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Never a dull moment in this series. The author doesn’t make you wait long for the action like life moments happen in an instant and this instalment in the Shadow Defense Security series is no different. Dual perspectives of Seb and Alexis.
A normal task for Alexis turns everything upside down when she discovers genetically engineered algae that even a small sample could poison the world’s freshwater supplies. Being the logical person she is she decides to sneak away and make her way to the University of Miami where she can get a second opinion before taking her information to the scientific community. Only she is immediately being watched and followed by those responsible. Seb is sent by Finlay, Alexis’s best friend, to help her complete her journey. Seb is a former Navy SEAL, partnered with Drake, Finlay’s boyfriend (book 3), and three others they own Shadow Defense Security, a private military contractor. Seb’s goal is to safely get Alexis to Miami, but the men hunting her and now him will stop at nothing to keep their discovery from seeing the light of day. First meeting in book three, the chemistry between Alexis and Seb is obvious as they trust in each other and fight to survive the situation they have found themselves in.
Will they get the sample to Miami? Who is behind this and why? Can Alexis and Seb find more together or is it fleeting with the mission? Everything about this series is designed to pull you in and keep you on the edge of your seat and heart racing from page one. The incredible author seamlessly introduces the next pair of each book in the previous one and then has them face their own set of missions and obstacles to overcome together. After reading book three back in March I was eagerly awaiting Seb and Alexis’ story and now with four out of the five owners story complete I cannot wait to see what book five will hold with Javier’s story is the only one left and I cannot wait to see how this world and the overarching story will play out. I’ll see you there.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadowed Storm by Mavery Ellscott is the fourth installment to the Shadow Defense Security series but could easily be read as a standalone. This story follows Alexis, an oceanographer who is quite the avid lover of the water and the whole world that lies beneath. Alexis comes across a dangerous alga during a dive that could wreak irreparable damage to the waters if released. With the help of her sexy former Navy SEAL friend, Seb, they try to eradicate the problem and keep themselves safe in the process. However, their enemy has a lot of power, a lot of resources and will not allow Alexis to put a stop to the nefarious plan so easily.

I really, REALLY loved this story and I feel like the author’s world-building and writing has been so consistent and perfect across these stories. She has done such a wonderful job creating likeable and realistic characters and gives the reader the perfect amount of detail to really make the story flourish without going overboard. Definitely recommend if you love a good thriller that will keep you on edge with a twisty storyline and amazing characters!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Oceanographer Alexis Hayes finds bio-engineered algae on a sunken motorboat, it has the potential to contaminate freshwater sources which could be very detrimental. Someone out there has wicked plans for this algae and Alexis just got in their way. She now has a target on her back but she has an ace up her sleeve by the name of Seb Tremblay, former Navy SEAL. They need to find a way to neutralize this threat before it can be released and they end up six feet under. I have enjoyed every book in this series so far. They each have a little something different as far as what kind of trouble they are in or problem that is being solved. It was nice to see characters from previous books in here as well. It was like catching up with some old friends. This author hooks you and keeps you turning the pages with all the twists and turns.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the Shadow Defense series. Even though this is part of a series they can be read as a standalone. However that being said I feel that once you read one you will want to read them all.
This is a romance suspense read, filled with drama, angst danger, a race against time and sizzling chemistry. There are so many twists and turns in this story that you are left guessing what is going to happen, especially when the threat is something that could cause harm to the whole population with enemies in high places.
When Oceanographer Alexis Hayes finds a dangerous algae that could potentially cause harm to everyone who comes into contact with it, she knows she has to nutralise the threat. However, there are people that don’t want her coming forward with what she has found.
Now it is a race against time to get the sample to someone Alexis can trust, so she can find someone to help her. But this only brings her into the spot light of people who want to stop her at any costs.
Now she needs protection and that falls to Seb.
Together they need to find a way to stop this algae from causing global chaos while also protecting themselves from a threat they could never imagine possible.

This is a fast paced read, full of action, adventure, intrigue, and twists and turns which meant i couldn’t stop reading. I can’t wait to read more.

Shadowed Storm: A Shadow Defense Security Thriller Book 4 (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott. This is the 4th book in the Shadow Defense Security Thriller Series and its just as good if not better than the previous 3. I love this series and while they can probably be read as standalone’s I highly recommend reading them in order to pick up on all the hidden gems you would miss reading them as singles. Its the continuing story of Alexis who finds out her former research professor is trying to release a strain of algae that would wipe out the world thru our water. When the bad guys find out Alexis is trying to stop him they are trying to stop Alexis and they will do it anyway they can. Which means Alexis is in serious danger. Seb is the security assigned to Alexis and he has got his work cut out for him. Alexis is more worried about Seb and his friends and wanting to keep them safe that she makes it harder for Seb. There is great chemistry between Seb and Alexis and you won’t want to stop flipping pages to see what happens!

This entire series is a must read!! Each of these books *could* be read as stand alones, but you’re cheating yourself if you don’t read them all! There is an overarching theme that travels through each book, as well as several of the characters, so I highly recommend it.

There is non-stop action when Alexis discovers that her former research professor is about to unleash a strain of algae that could wipe out the world through the water supply. She will stop at nothing to confront him with this and try to put a stop to his actions. It’s not long before Alexis learns that she’s being pursued by people trying to stop her from stopping the exposure of this corruption.

Seb is an ex-Navy SEAL that is set out to protect Alexis on her endeavors. He’s trying to keep her safe while she’s worried about keeping him and his friends safe. They make a great team!

I want to talk about the ending but I won’t because I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone. However, Ms. Mavery Ellscott, if you are reading this, please get book #5 out ASAP! 🙂

Another gripping thriller in this exciting series which once again had me hooked throughout. Oceanographer Alexis takes a dive with a school of basking sharks, but discovers a sunken motorboat. The boat has a lethal bio-engineered algae specimen on board which could contaminate freshwater sources. When Alexis becomes a target of a ruthless enemy she in lists the help of her friend and former Navy SEAL Seb Tremblay. The pair work on finding away of neutralising the algae whilst being hunted by a powerful enemy with vast resources. In order to protect the planets most vital resource and prevent global chaos Alexis and Seb must be prepared to make sacrifices. This was a real fast paced, page turner with an action-packed storyline and plenty of plot twists which kept me turning the pages. Both the characters and the Florida Keys setting came to life through the descriptive narrative which made me feel immersed in the story. Although it’s part of a series with an overarching conspiracy plot and a crossover of characters, it can be read as a standalone novel. I thoroughly enjoyed this story which had drama, suspense, romance and humour.

Who says Oceanographers rad quiet lives ?!

Alexis is out diving when she spots the “ ordinary” which is ocean life and the “ unordinary” an algae , it’s no ordinary algae and it’s effects can be devastating to mankind and now she’s under the radar of the “ creators” of this bio engineered algae , she’s in danger and these people are ruthless …

What they didn’t bank on is Seb , her former Navy Seal friend and man he’s all alpha and had he weak at the knees 🙈and one would think that because they’re trying to save humanity they’d have support but the bad guys seem to one up them the whole time but fear not good will always overcome evil 😉

While the fight to save mankind was going on there was also the battle of the heart which did break the tension a little and it was a good distraction from the heart racing tension 🥰

It can be read as a stand-alone but I highly recommend you read the entire series for a fuller experience 😉

This book will have you diving into the shark infested waters as well as protecting our environment. Alexis and Seb make a great team. Seb an ex seal and Alexis an oceanographer. Both love water and both enter into a fight for their lives as well as our ocean life. WOW this story is fast paced and loaded with many twists. Which makes for a great suspense thriller. The characters have a strong will, that’s for sure. The author, although new to me, has me wanting to read so much more from her. Her story holds an emotional rollercoaster as well. Great read for those who enjoy diving and underwater activities. I really enjoyed reading this series and can’t wait to read more. Well Done!

Another wonderful story in this series. I honestly could not wait for this one. We saw the two MC in Finlay’s book and I wondered if something would happen between them. Now I know! This one is filled with action, suspense and drama with of course the romance between these two. The thrills really ramped up the last couple chapters and I kept looking at the page number vs how much story was left. I was nervous it would end badly or a cliffy but nope it was done well.

I love Alexis! Her job is intriguing and she seems unstoppable. I was hoping the ending would have her going back to Holt’s daughter since she idolized her so much. I feel this gal can do anything in any situation. Seb is a lucky guy and I see he realizes it as the story moves along. There are numerous other characters that pop in and out that add a lot to the story and help it get moved along. Some I wonder about others are gone as soon as I turn the page.

Hopefully there will be at least one more in this series.

4.5 Stars

 

“She’s determined to unravel their plan to control the world’s water supply.
They’re out to silence her—permanently.”

Shadowed Storm is the fourth thrilling instalment in the Shadow Defense Security series by Mavery Ellscott, and my favourite of the series to date.
This is a tense romantic suspense with action, adventure, danger, high stakes, chemistry, agendas, a sinister & powerful foe, twists, intrigue, humour, mystery, emotion, interesting characters, a massive global threat, a race against time, challenges, and so much more — which all added up to a very engrossing read.
I loved all the exciting elements that were woven into this story, it made for a riveting read.
Again, as I have mentioned in previous instalment reviews, this book/series would translate well onto the big screen- and make a great, long-running, television series.
I can’t wait for more Shadow Defense!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Mavery Ellscott!

Dr. Alexis Hayes is an oceanographer who discovered dangerous algae on a boat during a dive during one of her dives for research. When she tries to figure out who is behind it and why, she finds herself on the run from some dangerous people and literally running for her life, in an attempt to solve the mystery and possibly save the worlds clean water supply. Alexis’s friend, Sebastian Tremblay, who is a former Navy SEAL and part owner of the security firm, Shadow Defense, meets up with Alexis to try and protect her and keep her safe once she reaches the United States, after she arrives from her sailboat trip from Paris. While the pair tries to stay ahead of those who wish them harm and want to keep them quiet, they must also figure out who is responsible for the algae and how to stop them. Neither expects to fall in love along the way. This book is part of the Shadow Defense Security series, and can be read as a stand-alone, but is definitely better when read as part of the series and you will definitely want to read them all. The characters and world feel real and like friends you never want to leave. I can’t wait to see what is next for this series and these characters.

I somehow accidentally missed Shadowed Defense book 3, and while I’m kicking myself (and on my way to find it and read it as soon as I’m done typing), I really really enjoyed this one! I’ve read books 1 and 2 already and they definitely continue to get better and better (not necessarily the writing, the writing is solid, but the storylines are becoming more complex as they go). I found the story engaging from page one and had a really hard time putting it down. I liked not only the Shadowed Defense agency pieces, but also the highly intelligent female lead character- good book, definitely recommend!

This book was absolutely amazing!! I have loved every book in the Shadow Defense Security series, but this one takes it to another level. Alexis and Seb are magnificently written characters. Alexis is incredibly intelligent with a quite wit while Seb’s mission is to protect. While these books can technically be read as a standalone, I highly recommend picking up the previous books as well. There is a lot of background and overarching themes that are continued through each installment. I definitely lost quite a bit of sleep just so I could stay up and finish reading this. If you are looking for a book that is going to keep you on your toes, make your heart pump with non-stop action, and fulfill your romantic desire, look no further. This should be your next buy! I am on pins and needles waiting to see what this author has in store for us next. Bring it on!

Shadowed Storm is a gripping tale set in the world of Shadow Defense Security. It’s a high-stakes story where everything is at risk of being destroyed if the characters don’t stop the plot to take out the world’s water supply. Each book in the series is standalone, but they all share an overarching conspiracy plot, and characters make appearances across the books. “Shadowed Storm” is the fourth book in the series, and it’s just as captivating as the previous ones. The author, Mavery, has created a world filled with dark and gritty plotlines, suspense, thrills, high-end danger, and strong, sexy ex-SEALs in protective mode, alongside equally strong female characters. This romantic suspense thriller is both interesting and highly entertaining, with a touch of humour woven throughout. It’s a must-read that won’t disappoint.

Mavery Ellscott’s first foray into writing was not romantic suspense. She wrote and published a neighborhood newspaper. A pretty big endeavor for an eight-year-old armed with scrap paper and her dad’s old typewriter. Total circulation—two. Fortunately, her later publications fared better. She’s even made it beyond the first round in a contest or two.

A conservationist, Mavery has won a few environmental awards. So, it’s no surprise she yearns to write a high-speed chase with eco-friendly cars.

First off, this is my first time reading this author. She is very talented. Her world-building is amazing. Her character development is amazing.
This is the 3rd book in a series. It can be read as a standalone, but I feel like I may have gleaned a bit more information about the characters, having read the previous 2 books.
With that being said, this book was still easy enough to read as a stand alone. I enjoyed the suspense, and the stolen glances between the seriousness. I could see this play out like a made for TV movie in my head… It was awesome. I can’t wait to read the previous 2 books. Highly recommend.

Shadowed Deception: A Psychological Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Book 3)Shadowed Deception: A Psychological Suspense Thriller by Mavery Ellscott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadowed Deception being book three in the Shadow Defense Security Series we get to read about more of the guys at this agency finding their one and only. The series continues to keep me on the edge of my seat. Shadowed deception had this series typical drama, action, angst, enemies that become lovers that is par for the course in these books. There is Drake and Finlay, an investigative journalist who is undercover, in very deep into a sex trafficking ring. The character development was very strong and I enjoyed how the novel unfolded. Another great addition to the series.
