Shattered Valor

Written by Elaine Levine

Narrated by Eric G. Dove

Every step leads her deeper into danger...

Eden Miller has her life arranged exactly as she wants it--until a reunion with her high school BFFs places her in the middle of a turf war with a ruthless prison gang, their terrorist allies, and the hunters tracking them. Her every move draws her deeper into the danger surrounding Ty Bladen and his team of terror fighters, but his seductive charm and engaging smile make her believe his promises of protection.

A secret is a dangerous thing...

When the terrorists Ty Bladen is tracking infiltrate his remote ranch in Wyoming, he learns the past he buried cannot be so easily escaped. Though he's recovering from a bullet wound he received in Afghanistan and is hunted by an unseen enemy, he knows he can't leave Eden alone to face the danger swirling around her, danger he and his team have brought to her--even if he has to risk letting her near his frozen heart. But when she learns his terrible secret, will she stay or will she run?

Reviews for Shattered Valor

[whiskeyinthejar-1 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Definitely want to read the first book in the series as this one picks up right where the first left off. Felt a little clumsy in the beginning and to be honest I don't know if I really felt the chemistry between the two main characters Ty and Eden. Part of the story line involving Ty and past abuse is very dark, never felt sensationalized however, so be prepared for that.

Towards the end, the story really picked up. I was more invested in the overall arc of the continuing storyline of the team against the enemy Amir and the baddies of WKB than the relationship storyline of Ty and Eden. Looking forward to reading the next book as I'm a bit of a fangirl of Kit (Mandy from book one brother)and the continuing storyline of these bad ass men against Amir/WKB.

I have to mention to that at times I got the weird feeling/vibe of the author trying to make this group of men too much like the human equivalent of the vamp-men from the Black Dagger Brotherhood (a lot of "you feel me", must protect the small vulnerable women, and other little things).
Also not a fan of the incredible amount of times the author has her male leads refer to the Grown Adult women as "girls". Just seemed like to much to me and honestly at times demeaning and disrespectful to them. I get what she is going for- uber alphas wanting to protect their "claimed" mates but I personally didn't like the vibe.

Still would recommend as the overall suspense story arc is interesting and there seem to be many male leads in the wings waiting to get their story.

I liked "The Edge of Courage" very much but I was a little disappointed in this one. This is Ty and Eden's story. They are both characters who have been deeply traumatised by their past and struggle to come together although they find themselves drawn to one another. Whilst their personal story is explored we also move forward with the overall story of the Red Team's fight against terrorists in rural/small town America.The story starts with Ty's recovery from the situation he found himself in at the end of the last book. I thought that this was a little glossed over and that he should have had more long lasting consequences. He rescues Eden and her friends from a terrible situation. The author gets rid of the friends rather too quickly to concentrate on Eden who is soon brought into the compound with the other characters. Eventually, they all move to Ty's house, which he has recently inherited from his father. Thankfully it is a large house ! Secrets about Ty's past and his father's activities are uncovered and form the basis for the action.I'm not really expecting a great degree of realism in a romantic suspense novel but I did think that some of this was a bit too unbelievable. The overall plot didn't really move forward much although Ty and Eden's story did. We did get to know the other characters a bit better and you can already see who will partner with who for other books in the series. There were occasions, however, when I thought that there were too many characters although, to be fair, it was easy to keep track of them all.
