Originally released as part of THE BODYGUARD anthology, fall under the spell of Gena Showalter's paranormal romantic suspense novella "Temptation in Shadows." Every day he puts his life on the line, what will happen when it's his heart in jeopardy?
Tall, lean, muscular—and definitely rough around the edges—Sean Walker is not your typical nightclub bodyguard. He’s a controller of shadows, able to wield darkness at will. But when a mysterious woman at the club turns out to have powers greater than his own, he has no choice but seduction…
Now exclusive as a standalone e-title, read the sexy story that captivate readers from New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter.
Temptation in Shadows is a short story that absolutely deserves to be read.
Gena Showalter manages with her writing to enter immediately into the heart of the story, an excellent thing for a novel so short.
The plot is interesting, full of action, mystery and the male protagonist Sean is very very sexy, with his way of doing quite dominant and brutally direct, but he is also protective and loyal, so my kind of hero.
The genre puts together both the paranormal romance, and what might be considered Sci-Fi, in some ways.
Sean works undercover for a very special non-governmental agency, as are all of its components. In fact, the agents, who are part of it, have their special powers and use them in their mission to protect other people like them or to keep them in check and, if necessary, intervene if they were revealing a potential threat to the security of all.
Gabby, the heroine of the story, is Sean's new mission. The girl lived a terrible childhood during which, cherry on the cake, has been kidnapped to be used as a Guinea pig by a scientist to do experiments on her and other subjects.
After she managed to escape from the lab, Gabby lives as avfugitive from everything and everyone, she trusts no one, because due to her new abilities, she is a living target for those wishing to use her or make new experiments back on her.
Great story, well written, as regards both the mystery linked to Gabby and Sean and their powers, and for those who are trying to hunt down the girl; but above all it's very very intense and palpable the attraction between Sean and Gabby, and Gena Showalter is truly a master in writing this kind of hot, hot, hot scenes in her books.
This novel would contain the potential to create a series, taking as protagonists the various components of the Agency, but I think instead that it will remain just a small treat for lovers of this writer.
Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the kind preview.
