Veena’s review of Shadow Keeper (Shadow, Book 3) by Christine Feehan
Urban Fantasy published by Berkley 29 May 18
In this series, Ms. Feehan presents her readers with an elaborate fantasy that involves riding shadows, wearing specially crafted clothes to dispense justice. To the world these dangerous and dedicated riders present a billionaire playboy façade with groupies hanging off their arms. True love is extremely rare and many have almost given up the hope of finding that one rare soul mate whose shadow will merge with their shadow, making them complete. It was in one of Giovanni Ferraro’s lowest moments that he’s destined to meet his soul mate – and she’s an employee working within his own club. Their path from that moment is far from smooth, but…
Sasha is an innocent from the wilds of Wyoming who needs her job at the club to pay for the special treatment for her brother, who suffered traumatic brain injuries in a car accident that killed their parents. Bowled over by Giovanni’s charm, Sasha is determined to resist him and maintain her independence, even as she comes under direct attack by some of the rich patrons in the club followed by an obsessed stalker.
Is someone truly stalking Sasha or is someone looking for revenge against Giovanni? As the threat level against them rises, the Ferraro family mobilizes to protect them and keep them safe. In this book we learn a lot more about the Ferraro siblings. The young girl Nicoletta, who the Ferraro brothers rescued from sexual slavery, is now coming of age and is a definite mate for one of the brothers. Given all the tension between the two so far, I can’t wait to see how that one plays out into a happily ever after. Then there’s Emme, the only Ferraro sister, and her Romeo and Juliet romance with her family’s enemies. Finally the matriarch Eloise, who continues to be a bull in a china shop, alienating her son’s beloved spouses.
Fair warning to fans – a lot of this book is an erotic treatise of sexual interaction between Giovanni and Sasha as they play out various dominant games.
Grade: B

The paparazzi can’t get enough of infamous bad boy Giovanni Ferraro. But unknown to them–and the women he beds–he’s just playing a role. Keeping the spotlight on himself keeps it off the family business. And if this lethal shadow rider can’t hunt in the dark, he’ll find his pleasure elsewhere…

The devil at her heels may have finally met its match…
