Since that fateful day when couldn’t save his best friend, Liam Hayes had coasted through life, going from one deadly mission to another, not caring if he lived or died. His only goal is to protect his team members and those he cares about from getting hurt—even if it costs him his life. Then he is reunited with the one woman he cannot have, who has dogged his dreams, beating back the nightmares, … nightmares, and changing his future.
Princess Taamira of Eyan no longer trusts anyone in her life, apart from the man that saved her when her own family abandoned her. Liam is everything she isn’t—loud, obnoxious, and has little regard for her royal status. Yet, his blue eyes hold her captive and his presence builds a warm cocoon of safety around her heart, breaking down her carefully erected barriers.
Liam is frustrated when he’s given responsibility for the Princess, a woman who is demanding, haughty, and too damn good for the cockney wide boy, but she lights a fire in him he thought was long dead. When the Princess once again becomes a target for those who want her dead, Liam will protect her with this life once more but this time the stakes are higher, the rewards so much sweeter.
Smashing down the walls between them with honesty, they begin to build a future paved with truth, love, and passion. But when you’ve lived in a den of vipers such as Taamira has, it’s only a matter of time before one of them escapes and this time, the bite might be fatal.

An emotional and engaging romantic suspense read
Taamira, princess of the Isle of Eyan, only feels safe when she is with Liam, grief tortured member of Eilodon Black Ops. As the story progresses the threat hits close to home, her call for help is answered in more ways than one, and just because they jump some hurdles doesn’t mean that they have a clear the path to the future. Maddie Wade’s Liam is an emotional and engaging romantic suspense read. I am looking forward to reading about Mitch and seeing if there is anything in store for the rest of the team and maybe having the single gals from Zenobi get a side story or more.
Holy hotness on a stick, Batman! Liam is one heck of a white knight & a perfect match for the spitfire Princess Taamira. I love how Liam let’s Taamira set the pace of their relationship & gives her some control in her life after growing up in a world where her decisions were not her own. Great storyline, unexpected villain & filled with love scenes hot enough to melt your Kindle!
I don’t think I’m alone in saying a lot of followers of this series have been waiting for this story, and it was worth it. It is powerful and exciting, I would say it also gives an insight in some ways to the women of countries where there thoughts and wants are not recognised and how, if they try to fight for some independence or equality it is frowned on. Liam has always come across as cheeky but it was great to see the more loving and serious side to him. To get his side of what happened with Ambrose. To find him not hesitate to support a woman despite her standing in her own country and title. He showed what a true hero should be the the woman who loves him. I love all the characters that cross each series, often working cases together and now linking in other ways as well. This has suspense and some action, unknown threats and a lot of love and friendship. A story that held my focus, grabbed my heart and even almost stopped it at one point. Now I have to be patient and wait for the next book because I read it to fast and it ended way to soon, insert a big sigh here!…
This was such a good book!! I have liked Liam since he was introduced in the Fortis series and had hoped that he would one day get his own story. This book was everything that I hoped it would be for him. The chemistry and build up between he and the princess was very entertaining. Taamira, the princess first appeared in one of the Fortis wedding novellas. Her past shaped the woman and princess that she became in this book. This was eye opening to the culture that some women are born into, along with the struggles that they face. The cockney and the princess is a wonderful live story with lots of action and suspense thrown in.
Liam’s story is another fantastic instalment to this amazing series. Having to run around after the entitled princess isn’t everyones idea of the perfect job but Liam secretly does for reasons he’d better not show to her. The Eidolon men and women come together again to welcome a new friend into their folds. The Princess has never had friends before or even much of a life and has little experience of it all but is willing to try to be normal and not have to answer to anyone. This is a must read series I’d highly recommend to others. Strong hot men and women that will have you not wanting to put it down.
Liam had just lost his best friend and it destroyed him and he had carried guilt for it ,but he now has a job to protect princess Taamira and liam enjoys getting her under her skin and has feelings for her but feels like she’s way out of his league, but what he doesn’t know is that the princess shares the same feelings, but first he has to find out who is targeting her and why but can he save her in time? This book was absolutely fantastic and omg i had tears streaming down my face a few times. Fate can be fantastic or it can be nasty but with them can it keep them together? This book i took my time reading because I knew Liams story was going to be hard and tear jerker and a emotional roller coaster ride. I absolutely loved this book.
This book is amazing! I could not put it down. Maddie Wade has a way of writing a book that grabs me and I know I will enjoy the journey. Liam and Princess Taamina have sniped at each other for over a year while he has provided security for her. Taamira uses her attitude as a shield since she has been hurt by everyone she let get close, including her own family. She only feels safe when Liam is around. He enjoys her attitude and says things he knows will evoke that attitude. Liam has been hurt too. He blames himself for the death of his best friend from childhood and his coworker. Watching these two hurt souls navigate their feelings is fun. When the Princess is slated to give a speech regarding women’s rights in her restrictive country she is again threatened. This book has both the Eidolon, Fortis and Zenobi teammates plus significant others making appearances. This is a great addition to the Eidolon Series.
The rough around the edges cockney boy and the princess who stole his heart. She sets him on fire while at the same time he wants to strangle her. Princess Taamira is the quindisecila heroine, smart, beautiful, kind and saucy and she has met her match. Another great read from Maddie Wade, you cry and laugh throughout.
Liam is the fourth book in the Eidolon Black Ops series by Maddie Wade.
“That was the story he would tell his children as they grew older, how the cockney saved the princess, and the princess saved him right back.”
Liam Hayes was distressed by the death of his best friend, a brother not by blood but by choice, and deeply wounded by the blame casted on him by his widow as well as himself for not being able to save him.
On an impromptu mission that changed his life for the better he rescued a princess that would later on give him back his happiness and for who he would do anything to keep her out of harms way.
Tammira Al-Kamila was a lonely and lovely princess from the Isle of Eyan betrayed by her family and who made it her mission in life to improve the lives of the women of her isle from the discriminatory forces of their law. After the traumatic experience of being kidnapped and the devastating betrayal of her people she reshaped herself and opened her heart to the man who saw and valued her for herself and not her royal title. Together Liam and Tammira overcame their obstacles and found their own happiness.
A Phenomenal Suspense Romance .

I will start by saying I received this book as an ARC. That being said it was a very entertaining read. I was hooked from the opening emotional scene, and it only got better from there. Seeing Liam help Princess Taamira to understand that it’s okay to be who she is, even if others don’t agree, and her helping him to overcome past grief to realize it’s ok to keep living and moving forward was very moving. The banter between the characters is very entertaining. The meticulous way the team works together to protect the Princess only intensifies when Liam and Taamira make it official they are together. It has everything you could want, suspense, mystery, Romance, humor.
Loved this! Taamira is a strong woman, with a complicated past, and her differing views sometimes mean she is in danger.
Liam is entrusted with protecting Taamira, after someone in her security team betrays her. Liam and Taamira have a bit of a history – one where they irritate each other and drive the other one crazy. Underneath these actions, however, lie feelings of mutual respect and maybe… adoration?
This book was emotional at times, but had suspense, a little action, fun characters and some romance, together making a great read!
I wasn’t to sure what we were going to get with this next instalment of the Eidolon team but Maddie did not let us down with the great mix of tough but vulnerable Alpha, sassy heroine, good old lov’in, action and a puzzle to solve.
Liam comes across as someone with a chip on the shoulder with his cocky charm but Maddie soon shares with us the depths of where this comes from within the first few pages…I’m no spoiler but get yourself ready for a slam dunk intro
We know a little of our Princes, Taamira, from Paradise Ties (Fortis/Eidolon crossover) but we do not really get to find out about her until now and I like her. She’s been through hell and kept her dignity, except for a soft spot for our Liam, who’s become the safety she’s been looking for.
There’s a few twists and turns, still the overall story of the series doesn’t get lost and there are reminders to what the Team are trying to work on in the background which is hard to do but Maddie weaves well.
As their love grows we see the tender but protective side we come to expect from our Hereford boys and the story flows between the two main characters effortlessly.
Mitch is up next and from the sneaky peak we get I can tell it’s gonna be a corker…..my loyalty to the Fortis boys is starting to wain as I get to know this bunch of trouble
Thanks for the opportunity to get ahead of the game and read the advance copy.
You won’t be disappointed but I would suggest this is not a read alone book, the series helps with context.
I adore the Eidolon series by Maddie Wade. Each book is my new favorite. Liam is filled with sexiness, page-turning suspense, and a terrific love story. I could not put it down, and the wonderful range of emotions had me sniffing and laughing. The storyline with Liam and Princess Taamira has been building for a long time, and the resolution is fabulous! The inclusion of the Fortis characters was a treat. All of the ladies are awesome at kicking butts, but their protective, big hearted, alpha men help keep them safe. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!!
The latest installment of Maddie Wade’s Eidolon series is just as expected, Fabulous!
This is Liam and Princess Taamira’s roller- coaster ride of suspense filled drama, and it covers every base, tears, joy, fear, action, it’s all here, just as you would expect from Maddie.
Liam is a no nonsense cockney bad boy who has been devasted by the death of his best friend, his protection is requested by Princess Taamira, a gorgeous, clever, single minded royal who feels Liam is the only person she can trust. As they spend more time together their relationship dynamics begin to change, and as the threat to the Princess increases so does Liam’s protective personality.
Can a common cockney bad ass and a Royal Princess really make a life together? Can Liam continue to keep Taamira safe? Do all Fairytales have happy endings?
Amongst all the banter, thrills, drama and heartbreak we will find out.
Another Maddie Wade book I would highly recommend, as always she has produced a page Turner that you will struggle to put down once you’ve picked it up.
