Shadow Men

by Edward Kendrick

Two men, Rafe de Lorca and Steele Reid, are committed as deeply to their job as they are in their love for each other. Trained in espionage, they are killers by necessity and patriots by choice. Betrayed by the very people they work for and on the run, will they manage to survive or will those who are after them prevail?

Espionage agent Anders must protect Grant Eastman and his son, Nicky, after Grant discovers information vital to national security. Teamed with a third man they attempt to get the information into safe hands while trying to elude those who would kill them to retrieve it.

About the author

Born and bred Cleveland, I earned a degree in technical theater, later switched to costuming, and headed to NYC. Finally seeing the futility of trying to become rich and famous in the Big Apple, I joined VISTA—Volunteers in Service to America—ending up in Chicago for three years. Then it was on to Denver, where I put down roots and worked as a costume designer until I retired in 2007.

I began writing a few years ago after joining an online fanfic group. Two friends and I then started a group for writers, where they could post any story they wished, no matter the genre or content. Since then I've been writing for publication. My first book came out in February of 2011. Most, but not all, of my work is M/M, either mildly erotic or purely 'romantic'. More often than not it involves a mystery or action/adventure, and is sometimes paranormal as well.

Reviews

[Angie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I felt like this book was more of a suspense novel with the gay romance as a secondary theme, but the book was so wonderful I didn't mind one bit. BUT OMG THE END OF PART ONE WAS GUT-WRENCHING! The end of part one way heart-wrenching and I wasn't sure I could keep reading, but I did and and I'm glad. I do hope there's a sequel, I felt like part 2 ended with more of a HFN than a HEA. Still overall 5 stars.

3.5 Stars. I had a hard time in the begining but I loved part 2 of the book. This one would do realy well with a sequel.

DNF after part I. Like a warning if it's going to be a bittersweet.

[CB · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fun, dramatic mystery with interesting, sexy MC's (4 of them!). Two love stories that come together (no menage). This is the book that turned me on to Edward Kendrick's writing and I have several others now.
