"5 out of 5 stars!! What started out as a mission quickly turns into something a whole lot more! Sean & Gabrielle (Gabby) have an instant connection that was easy to fall for, this novella has it all."

Well . . . I didn't love it. I can't exactly pinpoint why. Sean was hot. Gabby was okay, I didn't want to be her BFF but she didn't bother/annoy me either. The story was fast paced but no rushed. Oh, and I thought Rowan was adorable. (Guess he charmed me too.) After all my rambling, in the end, the story was just okay for me. 2 Stars ( )

Why is this not a series?! This was an awesome story. I loved it and all the characters. There was action and adventure from the very beginning and it didn't stop the very end. Each character had an ability that isn't usually featured in the paranormal romance genre. Sean is able to control the shadows around him and is pretty much a bad ass. Gabby is a human computer that's constantly on the run. Of course, when these two meet up it's not only a run for their lives, but a run towards each other. Would love to read more about this group of people.

Temptation in Shadows by Gena Showalter

Sean Walker can control shadows. He is a member of Rose Briar, a group comprised of people with extraordinary abilities. His next assignment is to convince, Gabrielle Huit, a technopath, to join the organization. First, he’ll have to get her to trust him and prevent others from harming her.

I enjoyed Sean’s character. He is a dark and mysterious hero who refuses to get to close to others fearing his shadows will drive them insane.

Gabby has had a rough life and trust no one. She is amazing for everything she has been through.

The two are actually very similar and complement each other well. I love their dialog and banter.

Temptation in Shadows is a really great story. The technopath aspect is refreshing and new; the concept original and intriguing. The story moved quickly, and it was easy to read in one day.

As always, Gena Showalter is an excellent writer. Her stories are believable and exciting. If you enjoy paranormal romance with a thriller aspect, you should enjoy this book.
