Chase Westin is in the middle of an undercover operation in his hometown to capture the leader of a local paramilitary group with designs on overthrowing the government, when he meets his brother's girlfriend, KC. She turns out to be an undercover operative for the FBI posing as Jay's girlfriend after he witnesses the local arms trafficker committing a murder. When the two operations cross paths, Chase and KC spend most of their time not trusting the other.
I found this book frustrating. The story was well written, but there was very little action until the end of the book. Most of the middle of the book was spend on internal monologues - each character doubting the motives of the others and then randomly throwing those doubts aside. The resolution of the story was also very quick and seemed improbable.
I looked long and hard to find a paper copy of this book thinking that this was going to be the beginning of an amazing series. Now I don't know if I even want to read the rest. Overall, quite disappointing. ( )

Chasing Shadows has everything I love in a romantic suspense novel. The action was non-stop without feeling forced and the romance between the main characters was the perfect counterpoint. The twists throughout the story keep it from becoming too formulistic. This was a brilliant start to a new series.

Chase and KC are both strong, independent characters who fit well together. Not only did Lyons create two fabulous main characters, but the supporting characters shine in their own ways. Lucky and Jay add depth to the story, and even the bad guys are compelling in their own way. I can’t wait to see what Lyons comes up with for the next book.
