Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott. This is such a good series and I loved this book. Its the story of Regan who is a romance author and currently on her latest tour to promote her latest book. She usually loves tours but this one is different, she’s on tour with her sworn enemy Pavlo who was invited to promote his new thriller. Regan is a single mom who loves her job and child and will do anything to protect her child. Pavlo was excited at first to do the tour but when he finds out his least favorite author will be with him. He just tries to keep his distance and do his own thing until Regan and her daughter become the target of danger. Pavlo will do whatever it takes to keep them safe and as they spend more time together they begin to see they actually have a very deep chemistry. This is a great slow burn, enemies to lovers book.
Regan is a famous author in this story. While she is independent as well as a single mother. Her priority is her daughter followed by her writing. Pavlo is Regan’s bodyguard. His job is to keep Regan and her daughter safe. However Regan and Pavlo can’t stand to be around each other. At the beginning of this past paced romantic thriller. Will these two come around and survive this story? The story could be a standalone, but I recommend you read this series in its entirety. As you will follow along and not end up like me. As I must go back and read book 1. This author gets big praise from me, her story has it all. Romance, thriller, intrigue, deceit as well as a true page turner. Both of her characters are perfect for their parts. This is a deserved five star read.
After reading the previous book, I couldn’t wait to read this book. And I am so glad I did, it was even better than the first one. I connected with the story straight away and loved the chemistry between the main characters. Neither wanted to spend time with the other but circumstances throw them together. I loved watching their relationship develop as the story went on. The storyline was exciting and fast paced. It is action packed from start to finish and it seemed to take no time to read it. This book is a brilliant addition to the series and one I thoroughly enjoyed.
Good story with a lot going on. I did not love it as much as book 1 in the series but it is still enjoyable. I just feel the unknown of a few things was too vague to actually care about it too much which led to me not being completely invested in the character. I did like the interaction between the two main characters. Why they were that way with each other I wasn’t completely sure. Each one has a few secrets and as they are forced together they slowly come out. I liked the action in here….and there is a lot! As for secondary characters the future story between Drake and Finlay had me awaiting with bated breath.
Shadowed Agenda by Mavery Ellscott is the second book to the Shadow Defense Security series. Full of suspense, romantic tension, and lots of plot twists, this is a strong story for a second book and definitely left me ready for more! I loved the characters. Regan and Pavlo are strong character leads and I adored them both. Regan is very headstrong but also a loving single mother that is willing to do whatever she thinks she has to to keep her daughter safe. Pavlo is a former Navy Seal and a member of the secretive group known as Shadow Defense Security. They are both authors on a book tour and due to some history between them, they try to keep their distance. But when the book tour takes a terrifying turn for Regan, Pavlo steps up and tries to help keep Regan safe as well as get to the bottom of threats and attacks being made against her. The tension between them grows as they spend more time together. But Regan doesn’t want Pavlo involved in this growing threat, and Pavlo doesn’t think he can be more than an occasional one night stand. The story had me hooked and turning the pages as quickly as I could, devouring every word until the end! I highly recommend for romantic suspense lovers. I look forward to more from this author.
Regan is on her latest book tour, although they are not that bad it has become unbearable as the other author is a pain her side. Pavlo is a dark mysterious author who writes the opposite to her romantic stories with HEA, so when her agent decides to arrange a private book signing with the next First Lady she is annoyed and wants the world to swallow her up.
Pavlo was invited on the tour to promote his new book, so when he discovers that Regan is also included his mood takes a dive, this fiercely independent woman will be the death of him, but when there is a threat against her and her daughter, Pavlo pushes all that aside and his instinct to protect her is brought to the for front.
As they get to know each other better there is a chemistry between them that can’t be denied but can Pavlo push away the feelings to be able to protect her and her daughter properly.
This is the first book I have read by this author and loved every word written, although this book is part of a series, I thought this was a story which can be read separately. The chemistry between these two main characters was brilliant to read and added a extra layer to the story, with also the Enemies to Lovers progression had you engaged all through. Regan was a great female character full of fire and independence which frustrated Pavlo at times but in the end became the thing he loved the most about her.
I can’t wait to read more of this series and the others before.

I normally don’t read a lot of thrillers, but this one had me on the edge of my seat! It was so well written! I loved the forced proximity between the two lead characters, and the way that the MMC became so protective over the FMC. I’ve never read a book by this author before, and I am pleasantly surprised! Highly recommend!
I’ve read both the first and now second of the Shadow Defense Security series books, and what I like about the series is that they definitely connect (overlapping characters, to a degree, the Shadow Defense Security Agency, etc.) but you absolutely could read them as stand alone novels as well. If I really had to choose, I enjoyed this book even more than the first; the character development was entertaining and I found myself incredibly invested in the progress of the crimes being committed (and whodunit!) Definitely recommend!
Shadowed Agenda is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security series by Mavery Ellscott. It is another engrossing romantic suspense to follow on from Shadowed Obsession, the first book in SDS. This series is made up of standalone stories, each one focusing on a different operative of the Shadow Defense Security team. This time we get Pavlov Barislov’s story. We met him in Book #1 and I was immediately intrigued by the former Navy SEAL turned security operative who is also an author of thrilling novels. So I was excited to be able to get to know him better here. And WOW, what a story we got. Ms. Ellscott certainly put her characters to the test, and delivered a gripping read along the way. As I mentioned above, this is a romantic suspense, but it also has a bit of an enemies to lovers dynamic, danger, dramatic developments, tension, chemistry, agendas, action, and mystery – all the ingredients needed to keep me invested the whole way through. Bring on Book #3! Happy Reading…

Regan and Pavlo are both authors, yet neither wants to associate with the other on their book tour. When things start to go awry with the tour requests, Pavlo and Regan have no choice but to put their trust in each other if they have any chance of ending the chaos with minimal damage. I was immediately drawn to Pavlo because of his strong commitment to doing the right thing and Regan because of her ‘do it myself’ mentality. The characters are so likeable! Mavery Ellscott does a great job keeping the reader in suspense and constantly upping the stakes in an already high-stakes situation.
Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott- 5 out of 5 stars
Who doesn’t love an intelligent sexy woman with just a bit of sass? This is a great romance suspense novel. I loved every page and I could not find it in myself to put it down. Will Pavlo be able to save Regan and will they ever learn? This was a fun read and I recommend.
This is such a fantastic book! It is the second book in the Shadow Defense Security Series. However, it definitely can be read as a standalone but note that there is some character overlap. This is a fantastic security book that features a strong alpha male and an equally strong female main character. In this book, Pavlo and Regan are featured in a Slow Burn enemies to lovers story. Both Pavlo and Regan are fantastically developed characters who take you on a roller coaster of an adventure filled with major twists and turns. Mavery Ellscott is fantastic at creating a thrilling plot that keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat with every turn of the page. It is her crafting on the plot that definitely has me anxiously awaiting the next book in the series. I definitely recommend reading this book!
This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed reading. I enjoyed how the author pulled me into the story with their attention to details that made it realistic. This is a well written story that is full of romance and suspense. The twists and turns are like no other and had me turning pages fast. Palvo and Regan are great characters. They are strong, connectable and their attraction pops off the pages. They have great growth throughout which made the story hard to put down. This is an easy, fast paced story that you don’t want to miss. This is the second book in the series but can be read as a standalone. I look forward to seeing more from this author. I highly recommend this book.
Pavlo is thriller writer for hobby and convenience, but his real job is to be a bodyguard and owner of a safety business. Along with other 4 ex Navy Seals, they have high profile clientele to take care of,now this can easily be parted with writing in order to obtain information and research for said pastime.
There is also Regan, a romantic writer who happens to share the same marketing agency for her books that Pavlo has, but since they are so different in paper they are also in life styles. After a divorce she and her daughter make do with her job, not the kind where money rains but it’s present.
Their publicist makes them work together for a book tour and they try to be as professional as they can but when danger shows at the door of the romantic side, the thriller side can help to want to protect against anything or anyone who wants to harm his opposite.

OMG. I loved the first book Shadowed Obsession but Shadowed Agenda is just as good if not better. I said before that this is an author to watch, and I still think that. Each book in the series can be read as standalones but I encourage you to read them in order because the characters interchange. I love books with Navy Seals, Security protection books and the like, as I love the adrenaline rush and strong alpha males in protective mode and equally strong female leads. Shadowed Agenda is the second book in the amazing Shadow Defense Security series by Mavery Ellscott. This engrossing slow burn read is an Enemies to Lovers romantic tale that is one thrilling ride with twisty turns keep the pages turning. What happens when the stakes just keep on getting higher? A tension filled fast-paced tale that will have your heart rate elevated and on the edge of your seat. There is a lot going on in this book. It is a thrilling tale that is full of drama, treachery, deceit, danger, action, intrigue, grit, suspicions, attraction and a touch of humour. The only way the story could have gotten any better is if there was a bit more “open” heat in the sex scenes and it was told in dual POV (my favourite way to narrate a story) but these are my preferences. The plot and the characters are well developed, well written, and interesting. I loved the push pull of the relationship and the sexual tension between them. Shadowed Agenda is captivating and highly entertaining and should be on peoples TBR list. It is kill or be killed in this high stake’s tale. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Bookbub – Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott
He’s the last person she’d turn to. He’s her best bet to keep her and her daughter alive.
Most authors would kill to be invited to do a private book signing for the woman who could be the next first lady. Regan Christenson isn’t one of them. But someone is willing to do whatever it takes to make her accept. There’s only one person she can turn to—Pavlo Barislov. Her book tour partner and former Navy SEAL is also the only person who annoys her more than an empty toilet paper roll.
If he’d had a choice, Pavlo would rather eat MREs for a year than spend five minutes with the fiercely independent Regan. He likes to keep his relationship with Shadow Defense Security low key, but when Regan and her daughter are threatened, Pavlo can’t turn a blind eye. As the danger intensifies, so does his unexplainable attraction to the irritating woman.
As things heat up, Pavlo and Regan are thrust into an unexpected minefield of treachery and deceit. One Pavlo may not be able to pull them out of alive.
Discover the heart-pounding excitement of Shadowed Agenda, the second installment in the romantic suspense thriller series Shadow Defense Security. If you like a slow-burn, high-stakes read, you’ll love Mavery Ellscott’s twisty page turner.
Each book in the Shadow Defense Security series can be read as a standalone. No cliffhangers and an HEA is guaranteed.
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.
This is a new to me author and I will for sure be reading more! I was immediately immersed in this story and felt connected to Keira from the get go. Keira is the kind of heroine I like, independent, strong and stands up for herself. She has a stalker and has no idea who it could be except maybe someone from her past. When her run in with her neighbor Cade uncovers he’s in security , she gains someone in her corner. Cade is on leave from an injury received on his last mission. When his interaction with Keira shows signs she may be in trouble or scared, he steps in and helps, not knowing what messy web he’s really going to uncover.
I can usually guess the who and while I was partly right I wasn’t expecting the how and why. I can’t wait to read more (hopefully) from this group!

Shadowed Obsession is the first book in the series. The book will pull you in from the very first page to the last. This book was about romance and an dangerous stalker. The characters were well thought of. The plot of the story was great. Shadowed Obsession was a page turner for me. It also had me on edge wanting to know what happened next.

A new to me author, and upon reading her bio I discovered this is her debut novel. WOW. What a great start in writing. Even though I was able to kind of figure out who the person was terrorizing Keira, I was still surprised at the over all outcome and discovery of other information. This book will keep you turning pages and make you want to finish just to know who did it.
The romance part is well written and I LOVE Cade and Keira. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series.

Intense. Oh wow. So, Mavery Ellscott is officially one of my top favorite new authors of the year. Before this book I hadn’t heard of this talented author but wow. Told from dual perspectives of Keira and Cade this book may be a slow-burn romance, but action, mystery and suspense start on page one. Keira is a thirty-two-year-old PR rep that has had a rough couple of months mixed with a dream finally coming true. She has been invited by her bosses to become a partner with them, a dream fulfilled right. Wrong, she has worked too hard and won’t give up the chance easily even if that means keeping the lid closed on her past and now, she has a stalker. Cade is an ex-Navy SEAL that owns Shadow Defense Security, a private military contractor, with four of his fellow service brothers. From the first time they officially meet both are attracted to the other but have their own reservations. Cade notices instantly the stress when meeting Keira only made more concerning that evening when after a brief incident, she spills the truth to him. Saying the words out loud fills her with terror as she tries to keep up her appearance so that it doesn’t bother her. Her stalker is no longer content hiding behind their phone, all in one day he not only breaks into her car but her house. Cade’s seen and heard enough he’s not taking no for an answer he is going to help Keira. Will Cade’s company be able to help Keira before it’s too late? Keira locked the door to her past but is it what’s haunting her now or is it someone else? Can Keira and Cade find a safe place in each other where the doors open up and the truth let out? The world the author creates is real, it happens every day to countless people, but unlike Keira they don’t all have an ex-Navy SEAL living next door whose next mission is to keep her safe. How the characters interact, and their internal monologues is very relatable not only in the funny or reminiscent moments but in the fearful ones where you forget how to think, and you just do. Keira and Cade could be your neighbors, friends, colleagues, seeing them not only figure out who and why she is being stalked but the comfort they bring each other keeps you rushing to finish the page just to see what will happen on the next one. I will be keeping an eye out for the next instalment in this new suspense series.

What an amazing start to the series! I loved Keira and Cade so much, and the author had my immediately invested in these characters. They are relatable and their chemistry is wonderful. I was drawn in from the very first page and couldn’t read fast enough through the twists and turns! The synopsis is artfully worded as to not give anything away, so I won’t either. I’ll be you have to guess through the entire book what is happening and who is behind it because I sure as heck couldn’t make up my mind. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this series as this author has a brilliant way with words. I highly recommend picking this one up if you’re a fan of romantic suspense with a touch of danger!

Shadowed Obsession: An Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 1)
I finished this book in less than 24 hours. I couldn’t put it down, I was instantly sucked into the book. The intrigue started on the first few pages and didn’t end.
The stalker was relentless with Keira, I would have been terrified and I was able to feel some of her fear. Having a hot former SEAL living next door certainly helps her feel safe to a point. Her trust would have made it a lot easier.
I love these books and I always try to figure out who is involved and I was so wrong on who I thought it might be.

Loved this book! It was a great mix of romantic tension and suspense. Cade and his team try to help Keira catch her stalker an in the meantime they of course cant help their feelings for each other.

This action packed romantic suspense thriller was a real page turner and it had me hooked throughout. When PR rep Keira O’Ryan’s life in invaded by a dangerous stalker she turns to her new neighbour, a former SEAL for help. Cade Hartford is now a Private military contractor, who is fed up with being on office duty while he’s rehabbing, and so he jumps at the chance to help Keira. He realises that catching the faceless stalker will be difficult as he’s already eluded the Montana police. When the stalker escalates his plan, Cade finds himself trying to outwit an adversary who seems to be one step ahead of him all the time. With Keira and Cade working together they can’t ignore their growing attraction, but as their relationship develops Cade is worried about mixing business with pleasure. With Keira uncertain who she can trust and her life in danger, Cade must uncover the identity of the stalker in time to save her. I was gripped by the fast paced storyline and the plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story. I enjoyed the slow burn romance between the main characters, both of whom were likeable and relatable. The chemistry between Keira and Cade definitely came across in the narrative, and I liked how their relationship developed throughout the story. An entertaining and enjoyable read!

Love this action packed romantic suspenseful story! It is fast paced from the beginning to the very end. I could hardly put this one down. This author did a wonderful job pulling me in and making me curious to the outcome of the story. The security firm has a lot of different characters and I am sure some we didn’t get to know. The romance between the two main personalities is slow going and I liked it because that longing was always there.
Overall I am excited that I picked up this new to me author and gave this a shot. I eagerly look forward to more in this series!

This was a great read that had me hooked and thinking about who the hell the stalker was all the way through. Keira, the beautiful PR rep and Cade, the ex seal who works security, are fabulous characters who draw you in and leave you truly wanting to see them get their a happy ending. I hope there is more to come from this wonderful author.

Wow wow wow!! Talk about a debut….well done so well done. I could not put this book down and I was at the edge of my seat from chapter 1 until the bitter end. This gave me all the feels I love about a book….suspense, danger, intrigue, action and chemistry between two characters that are off the charts. The twists and turns that this story had…..just when I thought I had it all figured out….definite jaw dropping moments. I am already looking forward to more more more!

This is my kind of book right here!!! Give me a Navy SEAL or any other military character and a psychological maniac on the loose and weave some words together and you’ve got me hooked!!!
Keira O’Ryan is a PR rep and she loves her job. She’s works with various entertainers so when a stalker shows up after her, it’s not completely surprising. Not to mention that college ex-boyfriend who got really creepy. After receiving a series of photos on her phone, she starts to become even more alarmed.
Cade Hartford and a few of his retired military buddies run a security firm. He’s recently moved in next door to Keira and senses that something is up with her. When she comes to him confessing the pictures and the strange happenings going on, Cade knows that he has to jump in and do something to be a great neighbor.
There are many things I want to say about this book but I’m not going to say much as to not ruin anything about it. Just know that if you’re into a good psychological thriller, look no further than this book! It kept my attention all afternoon and I read it in one setting. The writing is very well done and the there are a few twists and turns that try to throw the reader off track (as well as the detectives). I did have it figured out pretty early but a few times I questioned whether I was right or not due to the the twists and turns. It wasn’t quite as I suspected though! Buckle up and enjoy this read! I’ve already downloaded the prequel to this book and I look forward to reading it and future books by this author soon!!

Kiera O’Ryan does all things well. Works hard, and can do most things independently. Having said that, Kiera finds herself running from a stalker. When she turns to the police for help, they find nothing to back up her story. Cade Hartford, served his country, and afterwards joined a Private Military contractor. When his neighbor turns to him for help, his answer is yes. Now the real story begins. Can Cade help Kiera get away from her stalker? With romance also in the turn of events can they both fight the pull? This is the beginning of the series. Being a new to me author. But after reading this story, there will be many more intriguing stories to be read. I love her characters and the twists, turns and suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. The story is a stand alone and the beginning of what looks to be a great series. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. This series is off to a great start.
