This book is an action packed story that is full of suspense from start to finish. It is an exciting book to read that is fast paced and interesting the whole way through. The book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone. However, I would definitely recommend reading them all because they are all great reads. The characters in the book have a great chemistry. I loved watching their relationship develop as they tried to uncover a mystery. The author has written the book with pace and knows how to keep your attention the whole way through. This is a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed.
This was a thrilling 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning. Finlay is working undercover to try and break a trafficking ring. When a dangerous man starts to show interest in her, things take a scary twist. Drake works with Shadow Defense and he was sent to find her, will he be able to keep her safe? Will she be able to break the case? We get so many twists and turns my head was spinning. We get suspense, danger, and so much more. The author does a great job with her writing and you don’t want to put it down until you’re done. If you like dark suspense thrillers this is the series for you. Each book can be read as a stand alone but I suggest reading from the beginning. 1-click and get started today.
Mavery Ellscott has quickly become one of my go to authors. She is one author readers should get behind. After reading the first book Shadowed Obsession I was hooked. You can read each standalones, but I encourage you to read them in order because the characters interchange and you really will be missing out on all the delicious darkness. The stories just keep getting better and better. Shadowed Deception is the third gripping book in the Shadow Defense Security series, and I think my favourite so far which hard because they have all been my favourite. I love the thrill of strong alpha males in protective mode and equally strong female leads. I love a riveting suspense thriller, and this is one thrilling ride with twisty and surprising turns. I found myself on the edge of my set more often than not as the tension is palpable. Lets not forget the hot and sexy ex SEALs. The characters are well developed and interesting and plot lines that are dark and gritty but feel believable. It is a captivating and engrossing, and an absolute must read you won’t be disappointed. I need more now. I love a good psychological suspense thriller and Mavery delivers.
Excellent story. Once I was pulled into Drake and Findlay’s story, I was all in. It’s full of action, romance, suspense, and drama. I could not put it down. I loved the breath-holding moments that had you waiting to see what was coming. The topic of human trafficking has made for some amazing stories and this author did a fantastic job with it. I really hope we get a story about Seb and Alexis. I think there could be something there, just saying. This is a book that will have you so sucked in that you’ll feel you are part of the story. The cast of characters is so well0developed. They feel so relatable and just real. I highly recommend this.
The article would make front page news, if she lived long enough to write it.
In the heart of Paris, a trendy nightclub harbors a dark secret—it’s a front for a human trafficking ring. It’s also Finlay Giammarino’s only lead to find her friend’s sister. Exposing the club’s owner isn’t enough for the investigative journalist. Finlay is determined to bring the men at the top to justice.
Desperate, Finlay does the one thing she swore she’d never do—ask Drake Reeves for help. The former Navy SEAL has made it unmistakably clear how he feels about journalists. But he has skills and Finlay has reached a dead end.
Finlay and Drake are thrust into a world of shadows, lies, and secrets where every step forward unravels another layer of deception. How far are they willing to go for the truth?
If you enjoy an action-packed roller coaster ride laced with romance and a touch of humor, don’t miss out on Mavery Ellscott’s third installment in the Shadow Defense Security series of standalone novels.
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.
After reading Shadowed Obsession I couldn’t wait to sink my teeth into this and I was not disappointed!
Regan and Pavlo have a strained relationship and Regan would rather die alone on a stranded island than share space with Pavlov but her publicist throws them together for a book tour and I’ll be honest there’s something dodgy about this publicist and I would get a new one but that’s just me , anyhoo , let me not loose focus here 🙈🤣😉
Regan is a romance writer while Pavlov is more serious and Regan also has a daughter with a serious heart condition and she’s doing everything in her power to get the Jehovah help she needs ….
Someone is threatening Regan , they want her to give a private signing and she’s not being bullied into it and I must give it to get she’s a brave girl 😉 she stands her ground …..
There’s alot going on and I was on the edge of my seat a lot of the time but rest assured there’s a HEA in the horizon 🥰😉
This is the 2 book in the Shadow Defense Security Series. I have not read the first book in the series but after reading this one i am going to have to go back and read it. This book was so good. Regan and Pavlo tolerate each other at best. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. The dynamic between the characters is amazing.
Shadowed Agenda is a part of the Shadow Defense Security Series. Regan Christenson and Pavlo Barislov are like oil and water. In other words, they don’t mix. The two are forced together on a book tour…they even write books in two completely different genres. They avoid one another and only interact when they need to, and usually when they do, it’s full of snark. All that changes when Regan’s life is threatened when she refuses to do a private book signing for a woman who just may well be the next First Lady. The sole person who can protect her is Pavlo. As the two spend more time together, they discover their first opinions of one another were all wrong, and that snark may have been hiding a desire for the another.
I will be completely honest. I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this book because it involved politics, and I get enough of that every day on the news. However, I quickly changed my mind as that didn’t dominate the book! Yes, it was a part of the plot that drove the story, but it didn’t take away anything from the actual book itself. The pacing was spot-on, and the twists and turns kept me guessing. Just when I thought I knew who the bad guy was, Ellscott would flip the script on me, and I was second-guessing myself. I couldn’t stop flipping the pages to see what the final outcome would be.
I loved Regan and Pavlo. They were complex characters, and with each chapter told in their own POVs, another layer of who they were was revealed. Both of them had some serious trust issues. They had each loved someone with everything they had to have their hearts and their trust in love destroyed. Regan and Pavlo also dealt with that differently. Regan wouldn’t even consider a relationship much less a one-night stand, and one-night stands were all that Pavlo could offer a woman. Each of them was fiercely independent and determined. Pavlo was dedicated to his job with Shadow Defense, and Regan was dedicated to her daughter, Emmeline.
The secondary characters also added a layer to the story. Characters were not always who I thought they were. In fact, that was part of the guessing game for me as well. Because of my uncertainty about their agenda, the epilogue was such a treat for me. It was one of my favorite parts of the book.
It’s been quite a while since I have read romantic suspense, and Mavery Ellscott reminded me why I love this genre. She did a fantastic job of combining mystery, intrigue, and romance. She is a new author for me, and I’m so glad I got the chance to discover how talented she is. I will be reading more from her in the future!!!
A fast paced, enemies-to-lovers, romance. Full of twists and turns and a surprise who-done-it, even I didn’t guess this one correctly like the last book. This one will definitely have you turning pages and devouring every word from start to finish. I cannot get enough of this series. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Another brilliant page turner in this series! Pavlo and Regan are both such interesting characters and their fiery chemistry is electrifying as they learn to get along through necessity! Secrets abound in this story and you can’t put this book down! Highly recommended!
Wow, this story drew me straight in and the twists didn’t stop coming! Cade is the perfect strong alpha male, but Keira is no shrinking wallflower and the plot kept me guessing throughout! Definitely going to add this author and series to my autobuy list! Well worth a read!

Action-packed thrill ride! Pavlo maybe the alpha-hole that you think he is but he totally seems worth it. Regan is almost everything you want in a FMC, except too selfless. She should totally care about what happens to herself, which she never does.
Regan is a romance author on a short book tour with Pavlo, a spy thriller author. Pavlo is also a highly-skilled private security contractor. That part of Pavlo’s world is just kept on the DL. When Regan is unknowingly pulled into an assassination plot, she tries to figure it out on her own but gets in way over her head. Pavlo and his former SEAL friends are there to protect Regan from the crazies and, as it seems, herself.
There is a major twist when the action starts going down. People Regan thought were not loyal turn out to be her allies. People Regan thought would always have her back were only using her for their own benefit. All except Pavlo. He has been there from the beginning of this mess and despite him saying that he could only be a short-term situation, he appears to be very much in for the long-term.
This author writes genuine characters. There was some great banter. Even a few laughs along the way but what gets you the most is the selflessness Regan shows for her daughter. Fantastic read!
Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 2)
As much as I enjoyed the first book in this series I think I loved this one more. I was completely sucked in from the first page until the very end.
This book has a little bit of everything a hot protective alpha, mystery, danger and romance.
Pavlo and Regan worked from the very beginning, even though they didn’t get along and were thrown together due to the book convention.
Regan is the type of woman I strive to be and stick to my beliefs no matter how difficult it may be and it was very difficult for her to do it. This is definitely worth the time and I can’t wait to read more.

They have a history and can’t stand each other. When they have to spend time together due to being paired by their publicist on a book tour the lines between love and hate start to blur. Things are going as expected until Regan starts to get threats. As much as he would like to let her deal with this situation on her own he can’t turn his back on her, especially when there is a child involved and he may be starting to catch feelings. Being in the field of protecting also plays a huge part in Pavlo throwing himself in between Reagan and any harm that is coming her way. The suspense will make you keep turning those pages to find out what happens next. The slow burning romance will make you wonder why they weren’t a couple to begin with since the underlying attraction was clearly there. I’m not sure how many books are in this series, I’m banking on five at least since in book one it mentions Cade and four of SEAL brothers, but the next one can’t get here soon enough. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

So after reading the second one, I Immediately wanted to read this one, I couldn’t wait. Although I think the second one is my favorite of the series so far. I super duper enjoyed this one almost just as much as that one. Mavery Ellscott is a fantastic author. Look forward to reading more! These books keep me soo intrigued I have a hard time putting them down. This was a slow-burn romance. With an intense mystery of a stalker that brings Keira and Cade together. That leads them on a dangerous adventure filled with chemistry , suspense and action. Keeps me wanting more. As I said before, bring on more books. I love them! 🥰

Soo I’m picking up a Mavery Ellscott story for the first time. This one was sooooo good. I couldn’t help it. I couldn’t put it down. I have started on this book which is the second of the series, so I have to go read the first one not because I have to but because omg I truly want to( you also see some characters from the first one in her so i suggest you don’t be like me lmao and read the previous one first 😂. I loved all the suspense and plot twists that kept me on the edge, what felt like the whole time. The spicy tension between Pavlo and Regan was well written 😜 totally enjoyed it. I Cannot wait for book #3!

This was a thrilling 5 star read. I really liked these two and their story. They love to hate each other until love brings them together. This was a slow burn but it really pulled me in. We get so many twists and turns. We get danger, drama, LOL moments and so much more. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was coming next. I love protective alpha male characters and Pavlo definitely was that. All of the characters added a great element to the story. The story was in dual POV which I love so we can see what they are both thinking. The author did a great job with her writing and I can’t wait to read her next book. 1-click and get started today.
This is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security Series, and I love it even more than the first! We start out with a tense situation between Pavlo, Regan, and their publicist. It really paints the picture of how Regan and Pavlo see each other in the beginning. While they aren’t each other’s favorite person, you can feel the chemistry build through each chapter. I really enjoyed how quickly this book flew by with the twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. There is plenty of suspense, romance, drama, and action throughout the entire book. While this can absolutely be read as a standalone, you won’t want to miss any of this author’s incredible work! I highly recommend giving this one a chance, you won’t regret it!
Regan is a divorced single mother living her dream as an author. Just when she thought that her next book tour would go smoothly until her publicist told her that she not only would have a guest on tour with her but also a private guest signing. Regan refused to meet for the private signing but little did she realize that by refusing it would create a domino effect throughout her private life. Pavlo, the book tour guest, is not only a fellow author but a retired Navy and owner of a security firm. Ragen didn’t want Pavlo on the book tour let alone having him catapulted into her personal life. This was a fantastic book. I was hooked from the very first chapter! Can’t wait to read more by this author.
This is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security series. The books in this series can be read as standalones as they focus on different couples, but the characters to appear in other books. Pavlov and Regan’s story has elements of enemies to lovers, but Pavlov’s caring nature is revealed when Regan and her daughter are in danger. His protective nature and determination to keep the pair safe is part of what makes him so enjoyable. I like that Regan is also a strong character, she stubborn in wanting to do what’s best for her daughter and you can see her develop as a character as the story progresses. The author has again created well-written, enjoyable characters and you can’t help but get invested in their lives, especially as their stories unfold and the chemistry grows. The plot is well developed and had me hooked throughout. There were plenty of twists to keep me guessing, and the way these were written makes it easy to follow along as things shift. I’m really enjoying this series and I can’t wait to get my hands on more!
I absolutely LOVED this book and simply could not put it down! I was kept on the edge of my seat trying to work out who the hell was behind all this drama. I am not going to give away any spoilers but I will say I only worked part of it out. The main person was a total surprise. Pavlo and Regan are wonderful characters who will weave their way into your heart and have you on their side right from the start. This talented authors writing is compelling, creative and simply should not be missed!!

An enjoyable and engaging enemies to lovers romantic suspense thriller, which had me hooked throughout. When Regan Christenson and her daughter are threatened she turns to former Navy SEAL Pavlo Barislov, even though he annoys her. Pavlo finds Regan just as annoying but does not hesitate to protect her especially as the danger increases, but thankfully Pavlo has a relationship with Shadow Defense Security. The couple find themselves in an unexpected minefield full of deceit and treachery, and Pavlo starts to doubt whether he can keep them all alive. What neither of them expected was the sizzling chemistry and growing connection between them. This was an action packed story with great characters, and a slow-burn romance at the heart of the storyline. The plot twists kept me gripped and I found this book to be a real page turner. It can be read as a standalone story, and there are no cliffhangers.

I like this series. Shadowed Agenda was a wonderful second book in the series. A suspenseful romance thriller. Keeping the reader on their toes trying to figure out what’s going to happen next. The author brought together two characters that dislike one another, did they really or was it for show? Regan and Pavlo are a pair. Matched together to do a book tour by their publicist they couldn’t be any different. Personalities as well as what they write about. The idea was because they both sold rights to their books for entertainment purposes. What Regan doesn’t know is that writing is Pavlo’s side job. His real job is to serve and protect anyone who contacts the Shadow Defense Security team. A team made up of all ex-military personnel, especially Seals. Regan quickly learns who Pavlo truly is when threats start to be made on her life. He instantly goes into protection mode. However what happens when lines blur and he wants more from this woman than to protect her. But that can’t be right, they drive each other crazy. She’s frustrating and stubborn. He’s egotistical and a player. Will she give in to what they are both feeling? The author takes us on a while ride, with a budding relationship thrown in. A book that keeps you wanting more. A book with an ending twist one didn’t see coming. A book you should look into reading right now.
Oil and Water. Suspense, tension, enemies to lovers. Check. This is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security series. Yes, they technically could be read as standalones, but I felt having read the first book it helped fill in some of the background details. Personally, after first meeting Pavlo in book one was very excited to learn more about him and his story. Dual perspectives of Pavlo and Regan. Pavlo is a suspense thriller writer with a secret, he is one of five partners of the Shadow Defense Security company. He’s the perfect undercover agent and more times than can count it came in handy for a mission. Only this time the mission is in his real life not one he can just be the author looking for research on a new book. Regan is a soft romance writer that has overcome a disastrous marriage and found her own both for her and her daughter, Emmeline, who has a congenital heart defect. She has become very independent and doesn’t need help from anyone but learns the hard way, sometimes the strongest thing we can do is ask for help. One encounter month earlier left an unpleasant impression in each other’s mind of the other. Now a five-day book tour forces them together and it might be the best thing to ever happen to them. Their publicist Isla, once seen as Regan’s friend and trusted by both Regan and Pavlo, is acting desperate about a private book signing and not acting herself. New friends’ allies turn into friends and enemies turn into so much more. Why has Isla changed so suddenly? Does Regan’s ex have a deeper role? Can Pavlo succeed in keeping Regan safe when everyone is after her? A deeper dive into Pavlo was beyond anything I could have imagined. He’s very different from Cade in book one and yet both couples are similar in their desires to protect those around them. I have said it before and will say it again. I love enemies to lovers and love knowing a book has a HEA from the beginning because the hope lives inside our hearts as we discover the overwhelming twists and turns, they survive to reach that happy ending. I cannot wait to see what partner we will read about next, Javier? Drake? Or Seb? Only time will tell but, in the meantime, I will be going back and reading Gray Code Liaison, the prequel to Cade’s story.
This is book 2 in the series but can be read as a standalone. While I loved book 1 an wanted to love this one, I just couldnt get into it. Pavlo and Reagan have alot going on in this book so pay close attention but hopefully you will enjoy it more than I did.
This is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security Series. Even though it is part of a series, each book is about a different member of the team so they can be read as a standalone. However I feel once you have read one you will want to read more to discover every member of the team. These book are romance Suspense read with a touch of enemies to lovers, lots of sizzling chemistry and danger really makes this story a gripping read.We’ve got a protective male and a female who is strong willed and no damsel in distress so she doesn’t make his life easy.
This is Pavlov and Regan’s story. Pavlov and Regan are on the same book tour, both promoting this new books. However they can’t stand the be around each other. Regan sees him as a alpha male and from past experience she wants nothing to do with men like that. Pavlov sees Regan as a woman who is stubborn and strong willed and to much hassle. He plans to get through this book tour and go their separate ways with as little interaction as possible. However that all changes when Regan and her daughter are threatened and despite himself Pavlov can’t help but step in to protect her, whether she wants his help or not. Who is threatening Regan? Do they pose a serious danger? Can Pavlov protect her and her daughter? And what happens when it becomes impossible to keep his distance anymore and feelings start to become more complicated.
I love these books. Each guy is unique and the story’s are fast paced with engaging characters which makes them an enjoyable read.
Shadowed Agenda is Book Two in the Shadow Defense Security Series. It is an action packed, romantic suspense, enemies to lovers’ story filled with tension, danger, drama, and action. The story centers around the characters of Regan and Pavlo and is told from each of their POV. Regan and Pavlo are both on tour with their latest novels. Regan is not thrilled about this because she thinks that Pavlo is annoying. Pavlo is equally unhappy touring with Regan because he finds her too independent. They do their best to avoid each other and stay out of one another’s way. Or they did, until the life of Regan and her daughter were placed in danger after she turned down a private book signing with a woman who is in line to be the next first lady. Suddenly danger lurks around every corner and the one person she can trust to keep them safe is Pavlo and Shadow Defense Security. As Regan and Pavlo get to know one another better the chemistry between them intensifies. This book was well written with an intriguing storyline, great plot, amazing characters, and vivid scene descriptions. I loved the character of Regan who was fierce, strong, independent, and stubborn. All traits that initially annoyed Pavlo but were what made him fall in love with her. This book had mystery, deceit, betrayal, chemistry, passion, romance, and twists and turns that will keep you riveted until the end.

This book is book 2 in a series, and though it can be read as a standalone, this series is so good that you won’t want to.
Authors Regan Christenson and Pavlo Barislov are on a book tour for their newest books when their publicist, Isla, suddenly tries to force Regan to meet with the wife of a senator for a private book signing. Regan wants no part of this meeting because she is morally opposed to the senator’s stances on most things, and chief among them is his view on women working outside of the home once they are married and have children. As a single mother to a medically fragile child, Regan has worked since her divorce shortly before her daughter’s birth. When Regan starts to receive threats, has her room broken into, and even is physically harmed due to her resistance to the meeting, Pavlo steps in to help her. Pavlo’s day job is working with some of his fellow former Navy SEALs doing private security and investigations. With this book, nothing is quite what you think it is, even when you think you’ve figured it all out, there is still a twist to keep you guessing.
I enjoyed the first book in this series but this one was phenomenal!! I hard a very hard time putting this one down to go to work for a few hours!! There are twists and turns, love and hate relationships, friends and foes, you just never know what the next page will bring.
Buckle up for a ride like you’ve never had before! The relationship between Regan and Pavlo is like a yo-yo trying to learn a new trick. The relationship between Regan and her sister is a pot ready to boil over at any minute. Your heart will fall in love with a precious little girl.
I am ready for the next book in this series and can’t wait to see who it focuses on!
