Shadow Play #6
Tipping Point
He has nothing left to lose. That makes him dangerous.
Ex-con Elijah has run out of ways to make ends meet. Picked up by police in a bum-fighting sting, his only hope is the sister who landed him in prison many years ago. But catapulted into a world of veiled state interests and deadly secrets, Elijah soon finds himself torn between a past he cannot outrun and a spy whose dilemma he understands better than he’d like.
Nate, an Englishman whose comings and goings are as suspicious as his gratuitous kindness, offers Elijah the second chance he didn’t realize he was praying for. It’s not long before living out of each other’s pockets brings clandestine desires to the surface, threatening the fragile peace Elijah finds in Nate’s home. A peace that may have been nothing more than a smokescreen to begin with.

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~
This the sixth book in the series is another highly enjoyable read. I would recommend that you read them in order, and ideally close together as there is quite a wide group of characters - and it is quite difficult deciding whether they are on the side of 'good' or not - and it seems to change! But if you like espionage, and often illicit romance between guys with more secrets than even they can comprehend - well you will enjoy these stories a lot!
Here a very unlikely pairing is struck up - we get a more 'normal' type of mucked up person in Eliot, who has been in jail, and done things he is not proud of, rather than a spy with a conscience - and Nate who has had a different journey to reach this point, but is just as muddled about his future. We are left on somewhat of a cliffhanger - so I do hope that Ms Maeve is busy with the next installment.
