Edge of Shadows (Shadow Ops) Kindle Edition

by CJ Lyons (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 411 ratings
Terrorist hunters face danger—and forbidden desire—in this romantic suspense thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of Lost in Shadows.

The Special Threats Response Team hunts terrorists out of the reach of conventional law enforcement. Their leader, Rose Prospero has already faced her own worst fear: five years ago she was captured and tortured when the CIA abandoned her behind enemy lines. Since then, she’s focused her energies on protecting her Team and her country from monsters like the man who captured her. The Team and the job come first, last, always for Rose, leaving no room for love.

Former Delta, Billy “Edge” Price is Rose’s second-in-command and her best friend. Suave, skilled, and a smooth operator, Billy loves his job—and his boss. He can’t have both, so he’s settled for using his position to stay close to Rose.

As they face enemies from without and within, on the run from anyone who could help them, Rose and Billy learn each other’s deepest secrets, face their greatest fears, and sacrifice everything for Team, Country . . . and Love.

    5.0 out of 5 stars "Special Threat Response Team"
    Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    For a trilogy, this book stands alone well! It has to be the skill of the Author, C.J. Lyons; the backstory was just enough to make the story complete! Military, political, suspense, and romance, this book delivers! Rose Prospero is a fascinating, strong, intelligent woman who has a couple of huge secrets. The man who loves her, Billy Price, only knows one secret. Rose is former CIA and Billy is former Delta Forces. When Rose is asked to run the STRT and asks Billy to help her, he is more than happy to have her as his boss. Rose and the rest of her team are still dealing with a home-grown terrorist group formerly run by the Preacher. Rose murdered the Preacher, but he had lots of adult children who want revenge. Things go very wrong when Rose and Billy realize they must have a traitor in their group!

    Rose, in spite of her past, has realized she is in love with Billy. He is crazy in love with Rose also, but is afraid she won't want him once she finds out he knows one of her secrets. They both have to almost die numerous times before they can finally risk telling each other how they feel. Somehow, this works; Billy frustrates the reader, but their love is sweet to read!

    This story is elaborate, complex, and has non-stop action that will keep you reading into the night. The "good" characters are interesting and will just make you wish and hope there are people like this keeping us safe! A really good read!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great finale, great series
    Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2013

    Edge of Shadows was an excellent finale to a great series. Each book in this series was superb, however, I liked this one the best. Almost all the characters were included and the ending wrapped up everybody's story lines. Some thrillers are way too complicated to follow with just too many characters and too many twists and turns and too much thriller/black ops jargon. This book had just enough jargon, which was always explained, and it was not too convoluted to be able to follow along. I wish the epilogue had a bit more information on the HEA of more than just the two main characters in this book, but that didn't detract from the book or series at all, just my preference. I prefer much longer drawn out epilogues, especially when a series ends as I have invested lots of time into reading multiple books and want to have more of a finish to the characters. That's my main complaint regarding the current trend in books - the epilogue is just too rushed and too short, and I don't think I am the only one who feels this way. Other than that, this was an excellent book and a very wonderful series.

    Let me first say I love CJ Lyons books. They are well written, characters are developed, and storylines are interesting. I've read all three Shadow Ops books. The first one is still the best, but all three will keep you entertained. I read them at the gym on my Kindle. I'd recommend these books for some great + fun reading.

    Edge of Shadows was a GREAT ending to this trilogy!

    Billy "Edge", Rose, Chase, KC, Lucky, the whole gang is back to stop another threat they thought had ended with Lost in Shadows. What a thrill ride, I was on the edge of my seat with all the twists and turns. Chase is being a "wonderful" patient at the hospital waiting to be released, while Billy goes to bat for the team trying to keep Rose out of jail after the way the Preacher was brought down. The senators are at his throat trying to come to grips with the fact that their team saved their lives, but have to blame someone for the outcome. Meanwhile an evil foe returns to Rose's life. She has a deep dark secret she's trying to protect while trying to catch the preacher's followers and new partner from who knows what. As they struggle to keep their heads above water, someone is trying to sabotage them every step of the way. A traitor in their mist, but who?

    Suddenly everything falls apart, bullets are flying people are dying (or are they?) and any place they go is unsafe. Wanted by the FBI and Homeland Security they're fugitives on the run. Will Rose and Billy every get to expose how they feel about each other before it's too late? IF so will they act on it? Will Chase with his bum ankle be able to protect KC? IS Rose the traitor? Is the senator the Traitor? Will Rose and KC live? Will Rose be able to keep her secret? Where is the terrorists next target? And what are they using? MYSTERY, suspense, and love boiling like water all around the team. GREAT ENDING to the trilogy!!

    BUY IT, you don't want to miss it!

    Thank You CJ!

    I couldn't put this book down! In the past two days, I reread the first book in the trilogy, then read books 2 and 3 to complete the series. The action is non-stop. The characters are likeable and believable. There is tension when the protagonists get into tough situations. The evil characters are truly evil. In short, this story has many of the elements that make for a great read. You could tell it had been professionally edited, because it was well-written, and I couldn't find any glaring mistakes!

    I highly recommend this book and this series.

    The final of the trilogy and WOW, a fantastic finally with twists and turns that kept me reading way past the 'middle of the night, got to sleep' stage. Wonderfully tied to the first two books, but again able to be read individually due to the way the story begins. Rose and Billy, the two main characters, are written in such a way as to emotionally involve the reader in their story. Reading this as the final book resulted in research about the author and the purchase of more of CJ Lyon's work. Fantastic!
