The MacKenzie Family
review 1: Shadows and Silk is a MacKenzie Security novel by Liliana Hart. It is book 11 of the MacKenzie series. It is a romantic suspense. Liliana is still able to make the reader want to read this book even after the ten preceding ones. You still want to see how they manage to solve whatever problem they have. You also want to view the romance between the main characters. It is an excellent book and it is just as good when you reread it. Four years ago, Darcy MacKenzie and Brant Scott fought against the del Fuego drug cartel, killing del Fuego. Although she had known him for years, this was the first time she spent time with him and she fell in love with him but he walked away. Darcy went on with her life. Darcy MacKenzie is an expert in the field of Mayan language. She spea... moreks the language and can read hieroglyphics. There are only two people outside the Mayan culture who can do this. It is a closed culture and do not want outside help or interference. Right now they are helping Alexander Ramos make drugs. No one knows how he got them to help him. Most likely it is fear. Brant Scott is summoned to a meeting of all the agencies who were involved with the del Fuego cartel case. He has spent the last four years doing different cases for Homeland Security. He has never forgotten Darcy and has kept an eye on her and helped op-en doors for her when he could. He was once married to Vivian and she betrayed him and tried to kill him. Since then, he has not given his heart to anyone and does not intend to. However, he wants Darcy as much or more than he did four years ago and he intends to have her. If it takes marrying her, he will do that. If it means giving his heart, he won’t. The two are sent to Mexico to pose as newlyweds visiting Mayan temples so Darcy can pinpoint where the laboratories are that belong to Alexander Ramos so the combined FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, DEA, and Navy Seals can raid them and shut them down. Darcy feels it is her duty to go but Brant is against her going. He finally gives in when he sees he has no choice. However, as long as she is with him, he can protect her. What will this mission come to? Will Darcy be able to translate the Mayan hieroglyphics correctly? Do they even tell where the drugs are? Will the attraction between Darcy and Brandt create problems on the mission? Will they get Ramos?
review 2: I truly enjoyed reading this book. I compare this author's style to Maya Banks, whom I also love. Brant was your hard and possessive alpha male with a soft side for Darcy. The banter and sarcasm that bounced between the two was fun and entertaining to read. Darcy's protective brothers made me want to read their stories once I finished this one. Great character development and I loved that the two female characters were strong but not so strong that they never needed/wanted anything from the men. The only negative for me was the constant use of 'sugar' and 'baby' by Brant. That definitely got to be a bit irritating for me. Otherwise, a great read and ready to move on to the next in the series! less

This was beyond good! Excitement was not lacking from this and neither was steam. Darcy and Brant were just as hot as they could be and I couldn't stop wanting to read more. I can admit I'm getting a little tired of some of the same expressions though. Like the "boiling in his balls" bit, it's getting a little old. Other than small things like that that take away from previous books these have been awesome. I'm itching to read what's going on with Dec and the widow now. These just keep getting better and better.

I've reread the book so many times. The sex is so good, and it only works because it's been written in a logical way that evolves from the characters having a sizzling tension that grows and grows until it explodes.It's refreshing to see a very smart heroine (Darcy) who knows what she wants but also recognizes her own weaknesses. I love characters I can relate to, and this is such a case.This book has it all, and it's Liliana Hart at her best.
