4.6 out of 5 stars 962 ratings
This is his playground and these are his rules!

Born into a life of privilege and title, Bram “Bein” McCullum is the son of a Scottish Laird. Yet the deference and rules he has lived by his entire life feel like a straitjacket compared to the wild feeling in his heart that seeks freedom and the cool bite of purpose. When an incident with his family ends in his arrest, he feels his life is over—until a mysterious man offers him hope and a future he yearns for. With ten years of military service under his belt, he retires from the Army and takes his place in the Shadow Elite. With his life everything he ever wanted it to be he can’t understand the nagging doubt in his heart until he meets the wild Irish Mafia Princess who could be his destruction.

Aoife Doyle grew up as the princess of her father’s Irish Mafia reign but when he offers her hand in marriage to a man she hates, to forge the bonds that will stabilise his power, she runs. Fleeing her life and everything she knows Aoife finds herself in a tiny Welsh town with no money or food. Taking a job at a local pub she begins to put her life back together and regain some of her hard-won control. When a sexy man with a deep brogue and eyes she could drown in walks into her pub, she knows she’s in trouble, their chemistry is off the charts and the heart wants what the heart wants.

Just as Bram and Aoife are making a path for themselves the worst happens and the happiness they’d found is destroyed in a bloody carnage. Bram must now fight like never before to save the woman who makes him whole and holds his heart in her hands, but outside forces want only his death.

Will they survive the fallout, and will the prince finally get his princess?

    Bram's from a privileged background a bit headstrong but a good soul. When his sister is attacked he avenges her. In atonement for his actions he joins the service and ultimately a super secretive off the books team. When he meets Aoife, the attraction is instantaneous. He knows she's hiding something and can't offer her a relationship.
    Aoife knows she can't hide from her past forever but wants what Bram offers. When her past catches up to her, his team comes to protect her. They're falling in love but if they can't silence their enemies first, they won't live to see the dawn. Action, sexy times and tortured hero and heroine who deserve HEA.

    Warning triggers include rape, domestic violence and child abuse

    Maddie Wade's new Shadow Elite series is starting out on an excellent note. Shadow is an offshoot of Jack's Eidolon Security, a second chance for these warriors! Bram son of a Scottish laird, finds redemption with the group. Aoife, daughter of an Irish mafia boss is on the run from her abusive father. When they meet, the chemistry is intense and now Bram will do anything to win Aoife's heart. Her father has other ideas!!!! I loved the beginning of this new series and recommend it to all. It has all the action, adventure, love and excellent story line of her other books. 5 stars!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

    Bram, a Shadow Elite operative, is suspicious of “Debbie”, the new barmaid, and wonders just what she is running from. As the story progresses a brick in each of their walls falls, he discovers the reason she is hiding, and the truth of their pasts may be what saves them both in the end, Maddie Wade went into the shadows willingly with Guarding Salvation, the first of what I hope is many books in her new Shadow Elite series. We get a rundown of the new crew as well as the romance between a knight-in-shadowed armor and his girl who emerges from the shadow of her past. I can’t wait to read what comes next.

    I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

    Bram and Aoife's story is not for the faint of hearts. It's raw and mind wrenching yet kind and honest sweetness that some never find but 5hey did. Scary often but that is why Shadow Elite is for. Now on to read the next one. 💞

    Well Maddie Wade has done it again. Another fantastic start to a great series. The very hot Scottish laird turned mercenary Bram thinks he has it all until a mysterious bartender shows up in his favorite pub. Will the promise of one night only lead to more?? When Aiofe's past catches up with her , Bram has to decide whether to open his heart and help or walk away. So grab your fav beverage and a fan and get ready to fall in love with Shasow Elite.

    I don’t write reviews often, just rate & go, but I had to in this instance. Loved the book, great action & romance, just like the Eidolon series it spins off of. But…the female mc’s name, Aoife, was so distracting I almost stopped reading the book a few times bc of it. I understand that every name can’t be mainstream & it shouldn’t be. But every time it came up I stumbled over it & tried to remember the pronunciation that was so kindly supplied at the start of the book, didn’t work. I can deal w/different &/or exotic, but my eyes constantly stumbled over the name & it took me out of what I was going on story-wise. Perhaps many readers aren’t like me & won’t be affected by the name. If you are like me & the name is an issue, know you’re rewarded w/a good story.

    Wow! What a start to the Shadow Elite series. Firstly, it was nice to see a couple of mentions of Jack and the others - like visiting with old friends. However, these were just mentions so should not put anyone off if they have not tried Maddie Wade books before. If you haven't tried Maddie Wade before - what's stopping you!
    I was not sure what I would think of Shadow Elite, since some of the characters are slightly dodgy to say the least but as Maddie Wade has never let me down, I was pretty certain I would love it.
    Bram is a Scottish laird who carries a burden of guilt and Aoife is the Irish mafia princess being hunted. These two need each other to see past their past lives and actions to be able to rid themselves of the guilt they carry and move on together.
    Maddie Wade has clearly delineated the difference in evil for evils sake and having to do things that people would call "evil" for the sake of keeping the world safe.
    Seeing the Shadow Elite living in the grey to keep the world safe is going to be another smash series for Maddie Wade. It's a journey that I can't wait to continue with the next book "Innocent Salvation"

    Because Bram assumed rather than confronted things, he spent years worrying and separated from the people he loves. Even so, dealing with life's issues is never easy, and all we can do is try to correct our mistakes.
    An amazing best friend like Lizzie is a blessing for Aoife. Otherwise, she would have been on the run and alone in the world. Her father is disgustingly cruel. With all she has been through with her father, she finally got a break when she got a job working for a man who had the right connections. You will be engrossed by the story's heartbreaking issues, a lot of action, and lots of all the right stuff.

    Bram knew the moment he set eyes on her that there was a spark between them, he also knew she was hiding something. Aoife was hiding-- from a brutal father who somehow kept finding her. Bram and the team he worked with step in when her trouble turns up-- with people getting hurt in the process. This book has got everything- so many twists and surprises you don't see coming, so much pain-- deceit -- compassion and loyalty. How can the " good guys " not save the day. I can't wait to read the next installment.
    W O W !!!!!!!!!!
