Pressestimmen

“Red-hot romance. White-knuckle suspense.”—New York Times bestselling author Lara Adrian

Kurzbeschreibung

On the run, in each other’s arms, with one last chance to survive
 
A rugged Navy SEAL, Zane Scott was part of a failed mission to rescue Dr. Olivia Strohm from abduction by the terrorist group Dead Man’s Hand—and her anguished screams have haunted him ever since. So when he gets word that the beautiful physician has escaped from her captors in Africa, he’s got personal reasons to storm the continent and save her.

Like her would-be liberator, Olivia carries the burden of a dark secret from her past. Ruthless and relentless, the DMH has threatened to hunt her down—and to systematically hurt anyone she’s close to. The last thing she wants is to be rescued—even by someone as shockingly handsome as Zane. Yet the hotheaded special ops hero has come for her, and together she and Zane just might have a shot at not only stopping DMH’s reign of terror, but also saving what’s left of their souls.

Von Helen Hancox TOP 500 REZENSENT
Format:Taschenbuch
I've read several of Stephanie Tyler's books recently - she seems to write them at a very impressive rate and each one has a different plot and is often set in a different country. However these stories are romances and each one has hero and heroine (and sub-hero and sub-heroine) having an almost identical relationship - the only question is whether they'll jump into bed on the second meeting or the third. Now I've read five of her books it's become apparent that her heroes and heroines have pretty much only one way of relating to each other - horizontally. Her heroes are mostly the strong, silent type and her heroines tend to be feisty but troubled. It's generally love at first sight (or at least lust at first sight) and there isn't much development of the relationship between the two people apart from suddenly they decide they love each other.

This book was a little different in that rather than having two major romance plotlines we had three - heroes Zane, Caleb and even Tristan (who didn't seem like he'd be a hero at the beginning) all get their roll in the sack opportunity. And as, once again, these rolls-in-the-sack were all pretty much similar, they actually distracted from the story itself for this reader. There was a lot going on in this book, with most of the action taking place in Sierra Leone and the group DMH playing a significant role. We meet again doctor Olivia who was kidnapped in the previous book; she's managed to escape but is trying to keep away from everyone by hiding in Sierra Leone. We also meet a new woman, Vivienne, who's a computer geek and one who's in way over her head. And we meet nurse Rowan who's found herself in Sierra Leone on her own and with no-one to trust. All three female characters are strong in their own way and I liked them all, although found some of Olivia's behaviour a little difficult to understand.

This author tends to choose unusual African settings for her books and this makes them more interesting. I don't feel totally immersed in the setting but the feeling of menace and of a different world is well written.

The central relationship was fully tied up by the end of the book but there were a few loose ends with the other two relationships which I assume will feature in the next book or so. Despite the repetitive nature of this series I found this book very enjoyable and can recommend it to those who like action stories with a romantic side to them.

Deutliche Weiterentwicklung 13. Dezember 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Dies ist die Fortsetzung und das Ende des Zweiteilers von Stephanie Tyler (Teil 1: Lie with me).
In diesem Band geht es um folgende Personen:

1. Zane und Olivia Strohm
2. Caleb und Vivienne Clare
3. Tristan und Rowan

Zane ist der Adoptivbruder von Dylan Scott. Beiden Männern ist der Leser schon im ersten Band der Shadow Force Novel "Lie with me" begegnet. Auch Dr. Olivia Strohm ist keine Unbekannte. Sie war die Ärztin von Skylar Slavin, ebenfalls aus dem Vorband bekannt. Zane hat in Band 1 der Geschichte die Rettungsaktion von Skylar unterstützt, konnte jedoch die Entführung der jungen Ärztin nicht verhindern. Ihre Hilferufe haben ihn seitdem nicht mehr in Ruhe gelassen und so beschließt er die junge Frau in Afrika zu suchen. In vorliegendem Band gelingt es ihm Olivia ausfindig zu machen. Zu seiner Überraschung muss er jedoch feststellen, dass es der Ärztin gelungen ist, ihren Entführern zu entkommen, sie jedoch keineswegs nach Hause zurückkehren möchte. Zanes Vergangenheit erlaubt es ihm, sich in Olivias Situation zu versetzen. Dennoch besteht er darauf sie "retten" zu wollen - selbst gegen ihren Willen.

Caleb ist der biologische Bruder von Dylan Scott. Im Rahmen einer offiziellen Mission seiner Elite-Truppe entführt er Vivienne Clare, um herauszufinden, ob sie das Computerprogramm an dem sie arbeitet, der Terror-Organisation DMH zugespielt hat oder ob ihr dies gestohlen worden ist. Vivienne ist ein absoluter Computer-Freak, Caleb ein typischer Elite-Soldat. Tja, Gegenteile ziehen sich eben an. Oder nicht?

Ja, ja! Es gibt noch mehr. Bonusmaterial so zu sagen. Tristan und Rowan sind zwei gestrandete Seelen, die sich in einem Durchgangslager in Afrika treffen und zueinander finden. Zufälligerweise fordert Olivia von Zane dass er sie ausgerechnet in dieses Lager bringt, wo sie entscheiden möchte, wie es mit ihrem Leben weitergehen soll.

Und wäre dies nicht schon zu viel des Guten, d.h. genug Charaktere und Schauplätze, treffen Zane und Olivia in diesem Durchgangslager auf eine Missionarsfamilie, die noch so ganz nebenbei gerettet werden muss.

Also, da muss ich doch erst einmal kräftig durchatmen und dann gleich loslegen: Manchmal ist weniger mehr!! In diesem Band sicherlich auch! Wobei ich fairer Weise hinzufügen muss, dass dieser Band viel übersichtlicher als "Lie with me" geschrieben ist. Trotzdem sind die Hauptpersonen zu flach ausgearbeitet - eben weil es einfach zu viele sind. Die Schauplätze wechseln sich viel zu hektisch ab, so dass es der Autorin nicht wirklich gelingt eine entsprechende Atmosphäre zu kreieren. Auch das Ende des Buches ist, genau wie im Vorband, zu abrupt - einfach nicht richtig ausgearbeitet, so als sei der Autorin das Papier ausgegangen.

Obwohl eine deutliche Verbesserung zu Band 1, bleibt ein schaler Nachgeschmack zurück. Schade!

Promises Are Made & Kept In Shadow Force Book 2 23. November 2010
Von LeaF - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
In the second book of the Shadow Force series Stephanie Tyler returns readers to the heart of darkness--Africa, specifically Sierra Leone and the shadowy world of black ops mercenary soldiers. "Promises In The Dark" opens 6 months following the action packed conclusion of "Lie With Me". After witnessing and being powerless to prevent the violent abduction of Dr. Oliva Strohm by the terrorist organization DMH (Dead Man's Hand), Zane Scott has been haunted by her cries for help and a picture of her that he holds close. Zane's brother Dylan, who we met in "Lie With Me" has finally gathered enough intel to enable Zane to find Olivia and bring her home. Zane therefore takes leave from his duties as a Navy SEAL and travels to Sierra Leone, a place that for him holds traumatic childhood memories.

Olivia Strohm is a brilliant transplant surgeon who has been to hell and back twice in her life, once as a child and now at the hands of DMH. Olivia has cleverly escaped her captors and been on the run from village to village trying to do what she can to help people in need. She has been living by her wits and trying to reconcile what she had to do to escape her captors. She is a lost, tortured soul, and trusts no one.

Zane expected Olivia wouldn't willingly accept that he was there to rescue her and comes armed with a number of tools to nurture her trust. Olivia however, doesn't want to leave Africa she as is terrified she will not be able to assimilate when she returns home. It takes all of Zane's patience and strength of character to convince Olivia, a woman whose psyche has been damaged nearly beyond repair. There were occasions while reading this story that I along with Zane nearly gave up on her.

Back in the US, Zane's brother, Delta Force operative Caleb Scott and his team have received intel indicating software developed by computer genius Vivienne Clare's father has come into the hands of DMH. The software has the potential to cause catastrophic events at home and abroad if used by the terrorists. Caleb therefore follows orders and brings Vivienne in for interrogation, and while it seems she has no knowledge of DMH or that they have come into possession of the software evidence suggests otherwise. Vivi isn't at all what Caleb expected and despite being involved in a dangerous mission with DMH breathing down their necks he is sexually attracted to her and she to him.

Readers are also introduced to the enigmatic Dr. J., a missionary with military background who runs a number of clinics throughout the country offering health care to the people in the surrounding villages. Additionally, he recruits mercenary soldiers who are sent to defend the clinics from any number of threats. Dr. J's right hand man is Tristan, a former Army Ranger with a traumatic history related to his youth and discharge from the service. Tristan is tough, lethal and sexy as hell. While he has not formerly attached himself to anyone or anything, Dr. J has earned his allegiance and Tristan has established relationships with the people in the neighboring villages. Enter Rowan, newly discharged from the Army where she served as a medic in Iraq. Rowan is a widow having lost her husband years earlier under the most horrific of circumstances. These two people can only be described as part of humanity's walking wounded, they act on an instantaneous attraction and find love under the worst, most dangerous of circumstances.

Ms. Tyler therefore wrote two romantic subplots into the narrative of this story which intersect with the main plot making for a tale that is suspenseful, frightening, sensual and action packed. The personal stories that are crafted for all three couples are bittersweet and at the same time beautiful. I experienced a number of emotions while reading "Promises In The Dark", fear, anguish, I cried, I smiled, but at the end of the day I was relieved. I wasn't sure until the closing pages whether Zane and Olivia were going to survive. I mentioned in my review of "Lie With Me" that I loved Zane from the first paragraph he was introduced in that novel, that feeling hasn't changed, in fact it intensified. IMHO "Promises In The Dark" is an extraordinary story.

If you enjoy an emotional, fast paced, sensual and dark romantic military suspense, you may like to give "Promises In The Dark" a try. I think this book could be read in isolation because Ms. Tyler does give enough background information for readers to be able to follow along without reading "Lie With Me". However, as with most series I think if you read "Lie With Me" first it would enrich your enjoyment of this story.

Fantastic!! 7. Dezember 2010
Von Samantha T - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The second installment of Stephanie Tyler's Shadow Force books is fantastic. This one picks up much faster than the first book. Olivia and Zane story was just as good as fore shadowed in the first book.
The addition of Tristan and Rowen was unexpected and at first felt like a weird intruption but it soon developed into a hot well developed second story. If I had one complaint it is about Vivi and Caleb I think they should of had there own book. Their story was great although the tie in to the main story of Oliva and Zane was tenous at best. I know they are brothers but all he did was talk to his other brother Gabe on the phone about Zane. Vivi and Caleb story was really good and felt kind wasted in this book and left with a very unsatsfying conclusion leaving me to hope that they will be a main part of the next book although they arn't mentioned in the sneek peek at the end.
I love the small tie in to the Hard to Hold series. I don't partically remember Zane even as a background Character but I like that this series isn't in a vaccum.
I gave it 5 stars because 4 1/2 wasn't available. 1/2 point off for the Vivi and Caleb being a story on it's own and seperate from the main story, Gabe and Reilly supporting roles were to small, and Cam and Sky from "Promise in the Dark" did not even make and appearence. Stephanie Tyler is a really good author I have enjoyed this one as well as all her others. I am really looking foward to the next one!!!!

Great action/adventure, romance.... 2. Januar 2011
Von RVAbooklover - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
It's been said that it is harder to write a review for a good book than for a bad book, and I believe that to be true. I read Promises the day it came out, and have been struggling to write this review ever since. The plot is summarized beautifully by more capable folks than I in previous reviews, so I will skip the rehash, mostly.

Zane and Olivia are our first couple. We know from Lie with Me that Zane is a litle obsessed with Dr. Olivia, so much so that he spends his leave searching the wilds of Africa for her. I loved Zane. He has deep emotional scars from a childhood trauma but has so much faith in Olivia. Olivia carries her own scars and is not as open to trust as is Zane. She is convinced that being near anyone is their ticket to death, and is reluctant to accept Zane's ability to protect her. Again, I loved Zane. Olivia plucked my nerves a little, and in Zane's shoes, there was a time or three I would have admitted defeat and left Olivia to her own devices. Even when he was completely exasperated with her, he showed the patience of a saint. Their connection was HOT, tense, and believable.

Caleb and Viv are couple number two. Viv is a computer geek, Caleb is the ultimate soldier and I cannot wait for the next book for the fulfillment of their story. I thought Viv was the perfect heroine, sweet, a little naive, a lot horrified at how her naivete landed her in a hot mess. Caleb seemed dumbstruck by his attraction to Viv and a little out of control, which is a good thing for him, as he is a control freak.

Tristan and Rowan round out the romance trifecta. Both bear nightmarish backgrounds which lends a bittersweet touch to their finding a second chance.

Stephanie Tyler's books resonate with me. I love how she weaves the subplots so that they flow seamlessly into the main story. I have said in previous reviews that she writes some of my favorite heros, and that certainly holds true in Promises in the Dark. It is tightly written, moves quickly, and stays with you long after you read the last page.
