Title: Way of the Shadow

Stars 3 1\2 out of 5

Review:
I have always enjoyed Cynthia Eden because she is able to mix Romance with heart pounding suspense so I thought I would read her Harlequin Intrigue series Shadow Agent series. I have read a few books in this series and they were all good but nothing that made me want to tell the world but they were good for a quick read while waiting to pick my kids up from school.

This book picks up right after book 7 which I did read so I wasn't lost as I read book 8. However if book 8 was your first in the series you wouldn't feel lost because the author is able to bring all 8 stories together in one fluid moved. 

Fifteen years ago Noelle Evers was kidnapped changing her life forever now she is a FBI profiler who gets inside the head of killers because she can't remember her own past. EDO brings her into their newest case partnering her with Thomas Anthony known as the Dragon. From the moment they meet Noelle feels something hauntingly familiar but she doesn't understand why. Thomas has kept a secret for over fifteen years and now he is partner is with the one woman he wants to tell all his secrets too. 
When someone tries to kill them Thomas decides he will take what he always wanted Noelle if she is will understand his past while they are chasing a murder from Noelle past all over the freezing cold Alaskan land.

I love Cynthia Eden I think anyone can see I have read almost everything she has written but her Paranormal Romance because it just not my thing. The Shadow Agents series I have picked up a few books here and there because they have never really held my interest to read all 8 novels. The story is an adventure with lots of sex or in other words two people who are the most perfect specimens on the planet. 

The Author writes a great hero always the all dark and handsome man with a painful past. He saves the day while looking amazing hot and sexy. I wish that for once our hero and for that matter female lead didn't always have to have a painful past they need to get over to feel the ability to be loved.  This book has your tradition Romantic Suspense, lots of nonstop action, sexy stuff, nonstop action, sex, story, story, action, Sex, Story, sex and the end! Bam! Wedding Bells

So if you are looking for a easy read this is your book. 
Grammar, spelling was on par for all of Cynthia Eden novel I just wish for more story and less sex.

Thanks Heidi for this review.

Synopsis:   The woman who doesn't remember is the one he can't forget in Cynthia Eden's latest Shadow Agents: Guts and Glory book.
