Publisher's summary

She was prepared to lose her life. She was not prepared to lose her heart.

Reporter Jenny Ryan didn’t believe in love at first sight. Until it happened to her. An encounter with a sultry nightclub singer led to a secret job at the Office of Strategic Services and an unlikely romance with the woman of her dreams.

OSS agent Kathryn Hammond knows she doesn’t deserve love or happiness. But having fallen for her former assignment, she’ll do anything to keep her safe—including staying away. When ghosts from her past emerge, and Jenny waltzes into headquarters as a new recruit, all of Kathryn’s fears materialize.

With Jenny’s protection out of her hands and society, the war, and time against them, will their love survive?

In the Shadow of Love is the second book in this lesbian historical romance series. If you like secrets, spies, and love against all odds, you'll love this emotionally sweeping love story.

Buy In the Shadow of Love and lose yourself in a riveting night of desire and intrigue today!

Note: As this is a series, listening to the books in order is recommended.

Fabulous Well Written Story!

The in depth characters of this well written continuation of a heart felt wartime love story is a pleasure to escape in. I love the separate points of views of the two main characters and others the, author expertly conveys to the audience. The different perspectives of the main characters and description of their love making is on point. The unfolding of the storyline and a intimacy of the main characters as they share various moments, makes total sense. The performance of the narrator is excellent with the just right tone! Looking forward to enjoying the third installment of this wonderful book series.

A little too detailed on certain parts but the story is good

I like the way that the characters progress, feels natural and real. The sex scenes are sometimes a little too detailed and it feels like I’m just listening to porn but she at least does a fairly good job of it. Love the characters and are excited to see where this goes next.

Again. Another outstanding book.

Love this series thankful to the ppl who reccomended it. Jenny and Kat are rivaled in complexity, layers, and engagement by the mcs of the Juliana series only. J.E. Leak is a very evocative writer these two women exude chemistry whilst also frustrating you at points though you understand both of thier reasons for the respective pushback. Excited to begin book 3.

Loving this series

I really enjoyed this! I’m glad I waited for the audiobook to come out, as I’ve listened to the first one that way, and continued to love Abby Craden’s performance. This was just as wonderful as the first book (I think of 4 planned?) and while it was a slight shift in tone from the first one in that this is less action/spy thriller stuff and a bit more slowburn character study as the romance progresses stuff. It doesn’t ever feel like a slow read though. I’m really loving bight Jenny and Kat as characters individually and also really loving them together. Smith can frankly go get lost, though, his jealously and pettiness around Jenny is so patronizing and irritating. SHE DOESNT LOVE YOU BACK, BABE! I can’t wait to read the next one and I highly rec this series so far.

Great second book in a series

The performance is so good it elevates an otherwise well told story. I’m listening to the series a second time.

Best Series EVER! This is such a great book!

This has everything you could want in a wlw book. I really hope the 3rd book is on audible also and of course with Abby Craden who really gives the characters such depth. I think this author is an amazing writer and can’t wait to see what else she can do!
