Silent Shadows the third book in the Harbored Secrets series by Natalie Walters has three things that I love in books, small-towns, small-town life, and military heroes and loveable kids just not always in the same book. But with Silent Shadows the combination worked. Not to mention my favorite meet cute that I’ve ever read and most unique one to date.

In Silent Shadows you have a heroine Pecca Gallegos  who's basically running from her past in order to protect her son. Colton Crawford hero who's undiagnosed disorder has derailed his plans for long term career in the military. Neither was looking for romance or a relationship, but when the past catches up with the heroine the hero is determined to protect her and her son. 

While I didn't love Silent Shadows as much at the first one in the series Living Lies but I did enjoy reading this one. I loved being back in Walton Georgia and I didn't want it to end. It was nice to revisit some of the characters from previous books and see what they are doing now.  My favorite character from this book was  Maceo a seven-year boy who in many ways is wiser than most adults and in other ways just wants to be a normal kid. I didn't think that any character could be more over the top than Ms. Byrdie until I met Shirley in this one. 

I loved the Veterans D-Wing because I loved their banter and teasing each other about their different branches of the military. They reminded me  of the veterans that were residents of the nursing home that I used to work at. Even though they teased and bickered about which branch was better they still supported each other and no one else was allowed to do it. 

One last thing that stuck with me with Silent Shadows that while it was a suspense novel it was also a book about people and how special small-towns are and that everyone knows everyone and they watch out for each other. 

Silent Shadows was a great wrap up to the Harbor Secrets series, and even though each book is a stand-alone I do recommend reading the books in order, otherwise, you may spoil yourself for the other books. 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher a part of a blog tour. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
