I used to read the Harlequin Intrigues exclusively, loving the mix of romance and suspense, but over the years I've neglected my gianormous stack(s) of Harlequins in favor of longer more main stream romances. It's quite unfortunate that the Harlequin/Silhouette category romances just don't get the word of mouth advertising and acknowledgement that other books do because many of these short thrilling Intrigues turn out to be quite good. I found that to be true with Sharpshooter, the third installment of Cynthia Eden's Shadow Agents series. What Worked For Me: The passion between the hero and heroine was sizzling and the tension of the, well, intrigue, of the case that the Shadow Agents found themselves in was believable. Both the hero and the heroine were part of the Shadow Agents which gave me a totally kick butt chick to root for and a mysterious-can kill you with a paperclip-hero to worship a little bit. The hero was well fleshed out and it was easy to empathize with him throughout the book and the secondary characters Mercer and Cale were noteworthy. What Didn't Work For Me: The heroine, Sydney, was just not as fleshed out as her counterpart, Gunner. We learned about Gunner's childhood background but learned virtually nothing of Sydney apart from a brief look into her relationship with Slade. In addition to the lack of character building of Sydney both the hero and heroine went on a mission and had quite the groan worthy faux pas. They had a TSTL (Too Stupid To Live) moment. While in the jungle on a rescue mission they stopped doing their job (in a highly hostile environment I might add) to argue about their relationship. Say What?!?!?!?! Why would two extensively skilled special agents of a secret organization where they only hire the best of the best do this? How did they survive so long if they couldn't compartmentalize their feelings? In a Nutshell: Despite a few issues I had with this book the overall experience was very good and I'll actively seek out the newest release Glitter and Gunfire (released August 20, 2013) because it's Cale's book (yahoo!) and also go back and read the first two books in this series. I would recommend anyone who likes a good romantic suspense to give this book a go. Another great addition Shadow Agents series. I love that from the first chapter the action starts and just keeps going till the end in every book. This was Gunner and Sydney’s story. We knew from previous books that Sydney was engaged to Gunner’s half brother but that he died on a mission in Peru gone wrong two years ago. Gunner has always loved Sydney from afar but never made a move out of loyalty to his brother. Now once he finally does he and Syd are sent back to Peru on a mission that ends up with a shock. I think to tell much more about this book would give away too many spoilers. I’ve loved all the books in this series and this one was no exception. Looking forward to Cale’s books next. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Heart-pounding action meets smoldering desire in USA TODAY bestselling author Cynthia Eden's Shadow Agents miniseries! Two years ago Gunner Ortez saved Sydney Sloan's life on a mission gone wrong. And ever since then, he's been watching her back. Now a hostage-rescue mission is about to blow the Elite Ops agents' lives apart once again. Working side by side back in the jungles of Peru, the heat between Sydney and Gunner is hotter than ever--and so are the threats to their lives. With the danger escalating, Sydney knows Gunner is her only hope at successfully completing their assignment. But the ex-SEAL who arouses passion she'd only dreamed about also poses the greatest risk to the secret she carries in her heart...and in her belly.

Gunner annoyed me at times with his conflicted nature - I understood it but I didn't like it. Sydney was better but I felt she didn't make things as clear as she could've
I enjoyed the mystery and their investigation. Some parts were a bit more difficult to figure out, but most of the twists and turns were pretty obvious - to those that read the genre avidly anyway. The action was rapid and kept me glued to the page. There were some amusing lines/scenes. The romance was a bit more developed owing to the fact the characters and their friendship have been introduced over the last two books.
Overall enjoyable read, 4 stars. And Cale's book is up next - I can't wait! ( )
