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!

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.

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.

Shadowed Agenda
By: Mavery Ellscott

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!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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.

Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series) by Mavery Ellscott – Review by Paloma Fierro 27/11/23

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.

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.
