“Get to work cowboy or you’ll be too late to the table to get any pie.” A short getaway to a nice Texas ranch isn’t why Tiffany is at Colorado’s home. She is a seasoned LA PI and used to the fast paced life. The problems on the ranch are different from what she is used to but she is determined to solve them one way or another. There is one slight problem—a tall dark and handsome cowboy distracting her and occupying more and more of her thoughts. “…I would hate for anything to happen to remove you from my favor…or organization.” Danger on the ranch is real and escalating quickly. Colorado doesn’t know who to trust or what is coming next. The thing he does know is Tiffany Reiley is the woman he wants for the job. Thinking the case will be quick and easy to solve, Tiffany doesn’t anticipate the depth of the horrors she has stepped into. As Colorado and Tiffany’s attraction grows, the danger gets closer. Will God guide them to the answers they are so desperately searching for?

My Review:

This story is more about how God is in our lives no matter what. God is always there and His love for us, even when we don’t feel lovable or deserving is ours for the taking. When we don’t understand why things are happening, He is still with us and loves us.
"Shadows of Deception" by Ashley Dawn is the fourth book in the "Shadows" Series and can be enjoyed alone, I really recommend reading the series in order just to see how all the characters react with the others and each one ends with a cliff hanger that leads into the next book.

This book is about a subject that isn't pleasureable to think about but is one that is a real problem in the world today. There isn't a lot of details about this subject but there is alot of violence in these books but I say don't be afraid to pick up these books, because God's love does shine through in the story. I think readers need to be reminded that even in an evil world, God stills works out all things for our best.

These stories are love stories, both God's love for us and the love between a man and a woman. They are also about friendship and family and justice. I suppose the justice is really what the main purpose of the story is supposed to be, but I think the love shown in all the books really stands out the most in these stories.

The reason for the violence in these stories in because these family members are law enforcement personnal and in "Shadows of Deception" the main character Tiffany is a PI.

Guest Post from Ashley

Shadows of Deception was a fun book to write. I love writing my Shadows books because the characters have become so ‘real’ for me. The Reiley family is a large, close family. Each of the siblings is their own person with their own life, but they will always be there for each other. Deception focuses on Tiffany Reiley. Tiffany loves her family completely, but in such a big family, feels like she has to prove herself. She isn’t looking for a man, and certainly not a man like Colorado. Her story honestly didn’t unfold as I had planned, I wrote it one way but it felt forced and like I was making my characters do things that didn’t fit their personalities. Letting the story just ‘flow’ and the characters be themselves was scary and thrilling at the same time. There is a touch of difficult subject matter, but for me the story is more about how God is in our lives no matter what. God is always there and His love for us, even when we don’t feel loveable or deserving is ours for the taking. When we don’t understand why things are happening, He does. My hope is no matter what someone gets from the book, they see God’s love through it.
