Book Description:
Jordan Buchanan is thrilled that her brother and best friend are tying the knot. The wedding is a lavish affair–for the marriage of Dylan Buchanan and Kate MacKenna is no ordinary occasion. It represents the joining of two family dynasties. The ceremony and reception proceed without a hitch–until a crasher appears claiming to be a MacKenna guest. The disheveled and eccentric professor of medieval history warns that there’s “bad blood” between the couple’s clans, stemming from an ancient feud that originated in Scotland, and involving the Buchanan theft of a coveted MacKenna treasure.

Jordan has always led a cautious life and has used her intelligence and reason to become a successful businesswoman. So she is intrigued but skeptical of the professor’s claims that the feud has been kept alive by the grave injustices the Buchanans have perpetrated over the centuries. But when Noah Clayborne, a close family friend and a man who has never let a good time or a pretty girl pass him by, accuses Jordan of being trapped in her comfort zone, she determines to prove him wrong and sets out on a spontaneous adventure to the small, dusty town of Serenity, Texas, to judge the professor’s research for herself.

Maneuvering through a close-knit community in which everyone knows everyone else’s business, Jordan never anticipates the danger and intrigue that lie in her path, nor the threat that will shadow her back to Boston, where even in familiar surroundings, her life is at risk.

A powerful thug who rules by fear, a man who harbors a simmering secret, and an unexpected romance that pierces all defenses–beloved author Julie Garwood weaves these dazzling elements into a brilliant novel of romantic suspense. Shadow Dance is a searing tango of passion and peril.

Five stars for this book. As always, Julie Garwood gives you suspense, humor, and light romance. I really enjoyed reading this book, especially since I've been waiting for Noah to fall in love.

Love this series and all the characters. This one isn't quite as edgy as some of the earlier ones but no less entertaining, or difficult to put down.

Jordan moves from anti NCGC to President of NCGC

NCGC - Noah Claybourne Groupie Club

Noah finally gets his own story. Of course I liked it, but it gets four stars for 1- not a smooth transition on Noah's part to go from lady's man to one woman man and 2- I think things were not addressed in the book as I thought they should be. You still need to read the book if you love the Buchanan family as I do, now Julie Garwood who is Next, Sidney or Zachary Buchanan?

i prefer her historical romances to the new ones, but she is still an exceptional writer and story teller and her books draw you in and make you love the people in them.

Great story. I think this leads into continuing stories & I'm looking forward to them. Love her books & this is no exception.

With her beaty, smarts, and success as a high-tech entrepreneur, Jordon Buchanan should be enjoying life to the hilt. Instead, she's watching as her best friend gets hitched, her family makes headlines, and her brother blazes through his FBI career with a partner who scores with every woman he meets. But for Jordan, everything changes when she is told a fantastic story about her family's ancient fued, dating back to medieval Scotland. Suddently, a woman who has spent more quality time with her laptop than with any man is caught up in a lethal mystery--and in a knee-buckling relationship with FBI agent and old friend Noah Clayborne.
In Shadow Dance, beloved author Julie Garwood weaves these dazling elements into a brillant novel of romantic suspense, a searing tango of passion and peril.
