Protect, honor, obey, and serve. Four words I was raised by. Four words I lived by. Four words that destroyed me when I failed to uphold them. For the past six years, I’ve worked on top-secret missions, I have encountered the unimaginable, and am all-too-familiar with how cruel the world can be. I should be prepared for anything, but with my past coming back to haunt me, I have an impossible … coming back to haunt me, I have an impossible decision to make: do I honor the oath I made to my new family, or the girl I swore to protect and didn’t?
Hushed Guardian is a gripping romantic suspense that has adult scenes and triggers which may be distressing for some readers. Caution is advised. It is book two of a trilogy. Not intended as a standalone.

You definitely need to read this series before this book. I missed a couple in this series but this book flowed so well. But you do need to know some of the characters. This book ends with a whopper of a cliffhanger so you are warned. The story has an Op that goes wrong with someone getting killed (read this book to find out) and leads into Brandon’s story. He has a history that needs to be dealt with so this book partially does that. Twists and turns with betrayals and action that make this a fast paced book. Again it ends in a cliffhanger so am looking forward to the next book in this series.

Brandon and Melody – Part two
Hushed Guardian is the nineteenth book in the Enigma series and continues the story of Brandon and Melody’s. This is the second book, after Silent Vigilante, and they must be read in order. All I can say is that this is another stunning continuation of the story and picks up six years later. There is so much going on but yet it hones in on certain things along the way. I can’t wait to read Quiet Protector, the third book about Brandon and Melody. to see where their journey takes them.
This was a book with a complicated storyline and followed on from “Silent Vigilante”

This was a book with a complicated storyline and followed on from “Silent Vigilante,” the previous book in the series. Brandon is now an FBI agent working to uncover links to mafia kingpins. In this book, you will meet other characters from the previous book as well as some new characters. I would recommend reading the earlier books for better understanding and clarity. This book does not give all the answers but continues in “Brandon 3.” I found this book an absorbing read but, at times, slow-moving. Brandon is a complicated character that, while working as directed by his immediate superior, continues to work privately in his own time to discover the truth about what has happened in the previous book. His relationship with Melody and her family has left a lot of unanswered questions that have a bearing on his official investigation, and I am eager to discover what is to happen in the next book.

With each book the story unfolds but there is still questions that need answers and can’t wait for the next story in this trilogy. The enigma series had been an awesome read and there author never disappoint. I highly recommend.

There are twists and turns and I liked reading this from Brandon’s point of view. You think you know everything and then you read this and you realize there is more. The character development is so great and now I need more from Brandon and Melodie.
Brandon part 2. The Enigma stories are all interwoven. You must read Silent Vigilante before you read thus one. Emotional roller coaster, page turner, mystery, danger and love. This mostly from Brandon’s POV. Getting to know him is not easy. Is he trying to help or is there a hidden agenda?
Brandon and Melody’s story will have you in knots. It is hard to figure out if you like Brandon or if he is not worth it. Just when you think you got him and his actions figured out something else pops up. Some things are from other stories are cleared but still leaves you wanting more answers. What’s next? We have to wait for part 3. Who knew Brandon would be so complicated?!

This is book 2 in Brandon’s trilogy, and cannot be read as a standalone. Silent Vigilante must be read.
This book picks up 6 years after the events that happened at the end of Silent Vigilante. It is full of secrets, and plot twists. Answers some questions, but of course in true Shandi style leaves us with tons more.
By the end of this book, you will seriously want to strangle Shandi
I cannot wait for the final part of Brandon’s story, especially with those teaser chapters at the end.
This was another amazing edition to the Enigma series, and is a must read.

Omg as Brandon’s story goes on I’m just lapping this up, things with Melody are over but not finished. Although this links in with the Enigma series it shows the flip side of the story that involved Brandon, so so good. I voluntarily reviewed this book.
‘Hushed Guardian’ is the second installment in Brandon’s story after ‘Silent Vigilante’, and is not a standalone read.
To get the full story you should read at least the first four of the Enigma Series, as well as ‘The Wedding.’
In ‘Silent Vigilante,’ we were given an insight into Brandon’s growing up, and what shaped him into the man he became.
‘Hushed Guardian’ is the continuation of his story, but tightly interwoven with Isaac and Izzy’s story in the first four Enigma books. It gives us Brandon’s view of what is happening, and why he reacts as he does. It definitely gave me a whole new outlook on Brandon and the story, yet is still full of twists and surprises. It gives us a peek into the ‘cliff-hanger’ ending in ‘The Wedding,’ and has me hanging out impatiently for the next installment.
This is definitely a must-read -not to be missed- if you are an ‘Enigma’ fan.
I don’t know how Shandi does it, but she has taken a story I thought I knew and blown it out of the water!
I love this authors stories and this one hit right up at the top. The characters were fantastic. I can not wait for the next book.

I knew that Brandon was always going to suprise me the most. Practically raised by Liam Melody’s father as a protector he clearly believes that he will always keep his word to Liam to protect and destroy any threat to Melody.
Brandon now also watches out and protects Isabelle “Izzy”
I love twists and turns the action the deception and heartbreak the details given allows you to see so much more of Brandon and how complex his character really is. I still believe that at heart he is the same young boy who will stop at nothing to ensure that Melody and now Izzy are safe and protected and happy.
I can’t wait for the next book. I highly recommend this book and series.
I don’t even have the words, I thought the original Enigma had twists and turns I couldn’t even see coming, this story has 100x that one!! The storyline is amazing!
It’s the continuation of Brandon’s POV. Remember, this is moving along a storyline we thought we knew! Shame on me for assuming!!! How Shandi Boyes has this timeline in her head is beyond genius! This just might be the most surprising book/storyline yet! Her characters just pop out and grab your emotions immediately! I’m still so eager/dreading to read the next installment! I find it so strange that I didn’t realize how big Brandon’s story goes! He is right there through everything! Kind of like a Forrest Gump Character, he’s there throughout all the big stuff you just don’t how much it really is until you seen it through his eyes!! lol! There is every emotion you can feel, every unpredictable twist and turn, make sure you have some tissues available. Most of all, I’ve come to
realize Brandon is actually a good guy, not at all how I’ve seen him previously! It’s states that this is not a standalone, it’s imperative that you read the Enigma story in order to be able to realize the scale to this author has put into this book! Bravo to Author Shandi Boyes!! This just might be her biggest story yet! No disrespect to the Nikolai series, I love that one also!!
I’m just blown away and I’m hoping against hope that Melody is his HEA. Truth is, I CAN’T even begin to guess!! I’m on pins and needles to find out what happens next!!
I reviewed a complementary copy of this book.
I feel as though I am on a roller coaster with Brandon, just when I thought I was beginning to understand him and even like him he changes again. Just when I think it is over forever with Melody something happens to make me doubt that. How Shandi Boyes keeps everything straight and yet manages to include so much amazes me, I think I need a diagram at the beginning or end of the book to show how everything and everyone relates and intersects. With everything that has been revealed I feel I should know more but I am sure that is why there needed to be a third book and I am on tenterhooks now waiting to read it.
