Night Moves: A Shadow Force Novel Mass Market Paperback – October 4, 2011
Purchase options and add-ons
Kell Roberts has walked the thin line between life and death for so long that it now feels like home. He is a soldier, a survivor, and a loner. Still, Kell cannot turn his back on the beautiful woman caught in his firefight against the drug lords of Mexico. She says her name is Teddie, but Kell senses there’s much more to her story—and it’s about to pull him into a mission he didn’t sign on for: keeping her alive.
Teddie knows this lean, mean rescuer just saved her life, but the steel glint behind those soft gray eyes seem to be hiding something deep. The men after Teddie are deadly, but the man who holds her life in his hands and tempts her with his wicked touch is even more dangerous. He could make her dream about living and loving again. And if they can survive, maybe, just maybe, they can stop fighting the world and each other—and simply surrender.

About the Author
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Kell didn’t think enough of it to ask anyone his name. Roommates came and went here and he’d always found it better to not get involved.
On the second day, Kell’s wallet went missing, along with various and sundry other items, and although Kell had no proof other than his gut that it was the work of the blond kid, it left him alternately pissed and impressed.
On the third day, the blond kid registered for school and never made it to his first class because the counselor who met with him recommended homeschooling, deeming the kid unfit for a school environment due to the undue negative influence he had over other students in previous environments.
On the fourth night, Kell woke up to fi nd his new roommate climbing out of the third- fl oor window. He followed the Louisiana- born boy with the deep drawl to their foster mom’s four- wheel- drive truck and wondered how he thought he could take it for a ride during an icy storm. And then he decided he needed to see how much of a death wish Blond Kid had.
He’d always had a pretty big one himself.
Blond Kid, who he’d soon find out was named Reid, had the truck hot- wired by the time Kell pushed into the passenger’s side. “You’re going to kill yourself.”
Reid glanced at him coolly. “And you’re coming along for the ride?”
Kell answered by shutting the door and securing his seatbelt. Reid didn’t bother to follow suit.
“I want my fucking wallet back,” Kell said fi nally, and Reid laughed as the car skidded down the long driveway, leaving Kell feeling as out of control as he’d ever been and strangely liberated at the same time. “Where are we going?”
“There’s got to be a bar around here somewhere.”
“They all card.” Both boys were tall for their age but no way were they passing for twenty- one. What the hell was this kid thinking?
“I borrowed some ID,” Reid said with a calm drawl, like he didn’t have a care in the world. Kell knew that was complete bullshit and was quick to learn that in Reid’s vocabulary, borrow meant steal.
Kell had grown up with that type of vocabulary as well.
Reid drove for about ten minutes with surprising skill, and then the car skidded and Kell saw his life flashing before his eyes, just like everyone said it did. The sad part was, beyond remembering all the cons he’d learned to pull over the years, there wasn’t really much else. He heard Reid cursing throughout the slide and then he came to and they were in the ditch.
Reid was unconscious and the police would no doubt be called by passing motorists, so Kell got out of the car and he started walking back to the house, covering his footprints behind him because he wasn’t taking the blame for anyone else.
Everyone in this world is out for themselves— that’s the way you have to live, son— look out for yourself and screw everyone else.
He remembered, in that brief moment, that his parents had included him in that sentiment. It was the reason he’d turned them in and ended up in a foster home in Alaska instead of with them.
He returned to the car and hauled Reid out, knowing nothing about spinal injuries and not moving unconscious people. All he knew was that he wouldn’t leave Reid behind to shoulder the blame alone, even though the damned kid had stolen his wallet. He still hadn’t known the blond kid’s name until he’d opened his eyes and mumbled it, because Kell had finally asked.
“This state sucks,” Reid mumbled then and closed his eyes to stop the tears. Kell pretended not to notice and then, a few minutes later, Reid was up, leaning on him as they walked the frigid mile back to the foster home.
Kell’s parents would be so damned disappointed in him yet again— he’d saved Reid’s ass so he’d definitely been born with the conscience they lacked.
Well, shit, you did learn something new every day.
They caught hell, of course. The foster mom was not stupid, although she did protect them from the police. It took Reid and him the better part of six months to work off the damage to the car, piecing it back together with the local mechanic and honing their skills in the process.
It was Reid’s fourth foster home in the space of a year, and Kell’s fi rst and only. They lasted out another full year before emancipating and heading out to work along the docks of the Bering Sea, punishing, cruel work.
It was nowhere near as bad as the work that would follow, but being young and strong with a death wish would always work in their favor.

If they can survive both her enemies and his enemies they may find that they're not so different and if they give it a chance they could make their lives together.
My Review:
I can't say this enough.... I LOVE this series! Stephanie Tyler knows how to write sexy men and women as strong capable warriors and still give them a soft side. This book is by far my favorite in the series, I've been super excited to read Kell's story and man was it good. The action and suspense was terrific, the sex was super hot and these two, Kell and Teddie, were great characters. She always gives the perfect amount of background information without overloading the reader with it.
Kell was pretty wounded inside by his past and that made him able to put feelings aside to get the job done, yet when he met Teddie he was such a sweetheart. He pretty much dropped everything to help save her, which was a lot for him since he's didn't think he was capable of it. And Teddie, man I just wanted to give her a hug. I felt so bad for what she went through, but she stayed strong. She wasn't one of those weak female characters that has to run to a man to save her. She could take care of her self very well but thanks to Kell she didn't really have to.
Then there was the little side story about Reid and Grier, whom I'm going to be very upset if there isn't a book for them. Man oh man did they have some smokin' hot chemistry. Yum....I want Reid all to myself! ;) And I can't forget to mention the rest of the group making their own appearances. Dylan, Riley and Cam more so than the others though. Anyways, I won't spoil but it looks like those guys are finally getting their happy endings! *Sigh*
So, I give this book 5 Stars! I just couldn't give it anything less because it was such a fantastic book. I was on the edge of my seat nearly the entire time!!! Thank you Stephanie for this great series and please, PLEASE give Reid and Grier their own book. I'm begging, I just have to know what happens!!!

This series has been one of my favorites from the first book. It continues to remain atop that list. Once again, I've closed another Shadow Force book with complete satisfaction. I'm anxiously awaiting Reid's next encounter with a certain U.S. Marshal, as well as catching up with the rest of the guys and gals.

- by Morris "Morrie" Schwartz, American sociology professor and author -
3 1/2 stars. Darn, I really want 1/2 stars!
This sentence outlines everything so perfectly - how I feel about this book:
"And so she walked around Riley's house - it was quite modern, without a lot of personal photographs at all, like a beautiful shell, and Teddie could see why Riley no longer spent time here."
Gosh, I am so sorry to admit that I am disappointed. I'm going to state my reasons/problems below. The quote I've chosen fits quite perfectly and it's totally AMBIGUOUS.
Kell and his buddy Reid are on a black op mission in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to assassinate a villain when they're 'meeting' a woman. The woman is being chased by men in a car. They're able to save her. It's Teddie (Theodora). She's a photographer and videographer and she also worked with UN goodwill ambassadors. But her work was now over for the foreseeable future because she's in witness protection and on the run. Yeah, Teddie is in a hell of a lot of trouble...
After the death of her father, stepmother and half sisters, she's put into witness protection because she's the only one who witnessed the murder of her family. The authorities are not able to catch their killers and they believe that her father, a U.S. diplomat living in Khartoum, was the head of a kidnapping ring. Teddie wants to find out the truth and is determined to prove that her father's innocent of any wrongdoing. Therefore, she escapes witness protection and comes to Mexico and meets her father's friend, Samuel Chambers. Teddie believes that he is the guy who framed her father and had her family killed. They meet at a local restaurant for a talk. That's when the men who killed her family enter the restaurant. She panics and runs away - she ends up with Kell and Reid. Kell decides to help Teddie.
Night Moves is book 4 in the Shadow Force series. The beginning is superb and then...I don't know but I felt like I got lost somewhere. The book is fast-paced and there's quite a lot of action which I liked a lot! And I loved to see that a few other H/h (especially Dylan and Riley) of previous books had their moment to make an appearance in Night Moves. That was well done. Stephanie Tyler delivers yummylicious guys without end - as usual. Stephanie is one of my favorite authors and I just expect more when I'm reading her books. She's got this cool and detached writing style. Don't get me wrong - I like that. But I was missing something here. I didn't feel the connection to the main couple. I wanted MORE EMOTIONS and I wanted more depth to the story. And to be honest I couldn't feel the love between H/h. It just didn't ring true. The development of their 'relationship' was not good enough. The chemistry was almost non-existent and the sex scenes (sorry, no love scenes here) were lukewarm at best. Kell has quite a lot of baggage to deal with but so has Teddie, and I think when it came down to that part they fit perfectly. Both of them were rather emotionless.
Gosh, I want 'Saint' back!!! He's a secondary character of the Hold trilogy and I LOVED this guy! His story is told in Hold on Tight and it was my favorite book by Stephanie Tyler. How can you not love such a man? Yeah, there's really something about regretting bygone times...
Night Moves is a stand-alone book but if you'd like to explore more of Stephanie's work, then I'd highly recommend you to read her other books as well - and do it in order.
