MY REVIEW OF In the Shadow of Pride
(Previously published

ABOUT THE BOOK
Lexie Trevena buried her murdered husband, discovered he had
cheated on her, and signed to adopt his newborn son—all before noon. Now she
just wants to raise her child in the loving, supportive home she never had. The
last thing she needs is another man to complicate her life, but her best
friends feel differently. Their matchmaking meddling accidentally places Lexie
smack in the path of a

The only person who can help her is the FBI agent she holds
responsible for her husband’s death.
Special-Agent-In-Charge Luke “Mac” McNeil watched his best
friend and partner marry a woman he knew was too good for him, but he did
nothing to stop the wedding. He stood by as Lexie adopted the cheating jerk’s
son. But when someone goes to great lengths to make it appear that Lexie is
responsible for launching a drone into the home of a prominent Texas senator,
Mac’s conscience finally speaks up, and he fights for Lexie’s freedom ... even
though all the evidence leads to her door, and she has never given him a reason
to trust her.
Can Lexie and Mac find the courage to forgive and trust, or
will their pride stand in the way of love, allowing terrorists to bring another
devastating attack onto United States soil?

MY THOUGHTS
I've never made it a secret that I enjoy Nancy's In the
Shadow series and in my opinion these books just keep getting better. The
McNeil brothers have YUMMY to spare. Her heroines are spunky. The villians are
despicable and I love a well written bad guy. She fills these books with
suspense, grit, sizzle, sexual tension and laughter. That's always a compelling
combination. But in Pride, I found a little something extra.
Lexie Trevena is ballsy, outspoken, independent, damn but I
liked the hell out of her. :) And this book which I inhaled in one sitting. Be
sure to pick this one up. You can't lose with any one of the Shadow books but
Lexie and Mac are special.
And as an extra special treat, Sarah and Jason [the couple
from the first book in the series In the
Shadow of Greed available now as part of the Racing Hearts 10 book 99¢ bundle] play a large part as supporting
characters in this story. It was fantastic getting to share in their happily
ever after as Nancy continues to build the McNeil universe.

Becky,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your very kind words. I had a real hard time letting go of Mac and Lexie. Of course, I experienced the same with each of my McNeil brothers. It's hard turning their stories into my editor because it is so fun playing in their world. By the way, you rock, girlfriend!!
I love these books. The Hootsuite for PRIDE failed, lol. And I haven't finished VENGEANCE yet - so the review will come later (probably Christmas Eve =D )
