A Split Second Is All It Takes... Professor Dani Warren was willing to risk her reputation searching for that priceless piece of sacred Tibetan silk. And if she had to trust mysterious "risk-management specialist" Shane Crowe to help her recover it, she was willing to take the gamble--even if the real danger lay in Shane's fierce desire to protect her at all costs... For Desire To Turn Deadly Shane suspected there was a lot more to this recovery job than his clients were letting on--even if they were Tibetan monks. And with his company's reputation on the line, he had no choice but to rely on Dr. Warren's expertise in his search. But Dani's surprising savvy in handling big-time trouble was shaking up the icy concentration and well-honed instincts Shane relied on most. And now every move, every heated embrace was bringing them closer to the treasure of two lifetimes--and an unthinkable choice...
This was an excellent and interesting romantic suspense. Shane and Dani were great characters and the action takes place in the US, Aruba and Tibet. I love Ann Maxwell/Elizabeth Lowell's books they never disappoint and this one won't either!
A Must Read

This book was Awesome!!! I tried this book because I am a big fan of her books written as Elizabeth Lowell. I wasn't sure what to expect at first. As I read, I could not put this book down. It wasn't your average romance novel, it had a plot with suspense, along with many interesting characters. I would recommend this book to everyone. The two main characters, Dani and Shane were great together. This book was a great combination of drama, suspense, and romance.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC ! !

Shadow and Silk, The Secret Sisters, The Diamond Tiger, and The Ruby...All are written with the same mixture of intense attraction, exotic settings, and a unique plot. Shadow and Silk is so well researched that you can easily imagine yourself as Dani Warren, who meets the larger than life ex-mercenary Shane Crowe on a roof top in Tibet. It was amusing (and slightly frustrating) to learn that Shane has taken a vow of Celibacy...But don't worry...the vow ends near the end of the novel. I enjoyed reading about the lives of Dani and Shane and as a bonus, the supporting characters Gillespie and Redpath are continued in the other novels mentioned above.
This is good!

Great romance! Get this book and you won't be disappointed. After reading this, I had to go out and buy all the others under this name. I haven't been disappointed with any of them. Try The Diamond Tiger...it's also another winner!
