Vittorio Ferraro is a member of a family of shadow riders.
He knows his duty; his loyalty is unquestionable. He will
throw himself in front of any of his family and take a
bullet for them. He is the calmest, most logical of them
all; he is their SHADOW WARRIOR. And what this warrior wants
most is a family of his own. To find a woman with the
qualifications to meet the riders' needs is nearly
unachievable, but to find one that meets his needs is to his
mind beyond the realm of possibilities.
Grace Murphy had grown up in the foster system, had survived
some of the worst that could be put upon a child, but she
still lives in fear. Her foster brother is a killer, and
getting close to anyone puts that person in danger. Vittorio
thwarts a kidnapping attempt, but during the ensuing fight
she is shot, and she becomes his to protect. He claims her
and now must see if she can deal with him.
SHADOW WARRIOR had me in its grip from the beginning to the
end. It starts out with Vittorio sensing something wrong and
finding his perfect match in danger. The tale moves on at an
amazing pace to many other dangers and dramas.
When I read the back page blurb and saw that Vittorio
worried that he would not find a woman to meet his
particular needs I was a bit worried. Was he into some kind
of sexual bondage? Maybe a little, but what I gleaned from
it all was he needed to be in control of everything. He
needed to make all the decisions in their daily life. That
to say the least, is not a modern take on life but the
benefits seem to work for him and Grace. And who's to nay
say something that works for the both of them?
Grace is no pushover as you will see as you read and
understand the hand life had dealt her. She felt the pull of
the shadows even having been shot and felt the need to
please him even then, but in her job, she is the boss and
works her magic to make all the events she organizes come
out smoothly, and everyone is happy. To say she is happy not
to have to be the boss all the time seems to fit her, making
her Vittorio's perfect match.
The other Ferraros are in SHADOW WARRIOR as well, and we get
to watch them in action as they face several problems. It
seems the Saldi crime family have been up to no good in
their territory, and it is possible that they are ready to
war with the Ferraros. Eloisa is her usual self, and this
time I think she has really gone too far.
SHADOW WARRIOR will thrill you with its action, have you
smiling with the brothers and cousins antics, feel
Emmanuelle's pain, want to throw Eloisa out the door and
wonder what is the Saldi family trying to do and why? In
other words - a fantastic read that will leave you wanting more!
Danger inspires fierce passion when a serial killer
threatens Chicago's Ferraro crime
family in this novel in Christine Feehan's New York Times
bestselling series.
Vittorio Ferraro is a man whose family loyalty knows no
bounds. He would die for his
siblings and the people they love, but what he really wants
is to start a family of his
own. Deep down, Vittorio has always known finding a woman
who could ride shadows would be
nearly impossible—let alone one who could accept his
particular needs—and he never
expected to find her in the middle of a kidnapping….
Grace Murphy has always been
drawn to Vittorio Ferraro—or at least to the billionaire's
public bad-boy persona. Now
that she's under his protection and the sole focus of his
intense caring, she can't help
wanting to get as close to him as possible. But Grace knows
her presence is putting the
entire Ferraro family in danger. Her monster of a brother
will never let her go, but
Vittorio has no intention of losing the woman whose shadow
matches his own.
