An unforgettable one night stand becomes more when the two bodyguards assigned to protect a set of journalist reunite on the job. Dane and Farrow work to protect while realizing their connection can be something more.
From the blurb:
The man Dane Fletcher took home from a bar on Salem Street wasn't supposed to walk back into his life three weeks later — across a conference table, working the other side of the same operation.
Blaise Farrow doesn't run with a firm. He runs on instinct, proximity, and a read of people that gets too close to be safe. Dane runs on distance, discipline, and a perimeter that holds. The Guardians have just paired them on a job neither can afford to fail.
Two Boston reporters have stumbled into the same story from opposite ends. Wiley Priest has spent two years tracking a domestic extremist network. Stanley Cabot has spent fourteen years inside the rooms where Boston's oldest families talk. Together they're a threat someone has decided to eliminate — and the countdown to a private wedding on Martha's Vineyard is closing fast.
Dane keeps people alive by holding the line. Farrow keeps them alive by crossing it. Every hour the threat sharpens, what's between them does too — and one wrong call by either man puts a principal in the ground.
SHADOW LINE is a high-stakes M/M romantic suspense featuring opposites-attract bodyguards, forced proximity, an intelligent, evolving threat, hurt-comfort, and a partnership where getting too close might be the only way to survive.
SNik's review:
Third in series (The Guardians), but can be read as a standalone. One night stand. Coworkers. Close proximity. Dual POV.
Dane and Farrow are bodyguards with separate protectees that end up having to work together as both men are journalists that could be unraveling a conspiracy. But three weeks ago Dane and Farrow had an unforgettable one night stand, and they can’t let that get in the way of doing their jobs.
This story is heavily focused on the operational aspects of protecting the men in danger and helping find the bad guys. Well written, with suspense, but I do wish there was more to the romance story. The glimpses when it is just Dane and Farrow on page were the best parts. The way Dane and Farrow can read each other and understand each other was interesting, and they work well together professionally and personally. More background on them and more focus on the romance would have made this more entertaining for me, but I did enjoy the read.
