From the award-winning author of The Windsor Series comes the second Tildas Island mystery: Isiah Clarke may be a former Navy SEAL, but now that he’s retired, he’s more than happy to be passing his time tending to the bar he owns on Tildas Island. That is, until a former teammate sends him a message asking for help in finding and protecting an elusive CIA asset. Isiah can’t ignore what may be his … can’t ignore what may be his teammate’s last wish and, reluctantly, he turns to FBI agent Alexis Wright—a woman who’s been under his skin since the first time she walked into his bar seven months earlier.
For Alexis, there’s no question she’ll help the former SEAL find the asset. Especially when the information from Isiah’s teammate alludes to a threat to the upcoming Summit of World Leaders—a gathering she and her team are responsible for ensuring the safety of.
But when the straightforward mission to protect the spy throws Isiah and Alexis into a world of deception, depravity, and treason, placing faith and trust in each other—something that doesn’t come naturally to either—becomes vital.
Because it will take more than just their skills to get them out alive.

This book is a real page turner, an exciting storyline with fantastic characters and is set in a tropical paradise. Tamsen Schultz is a really talented author, and I think this is one of her best books yet. I highly recommend it.
Night Deception is a great addition to this series! If you’ve enjoyed any of Tamsen Schultz’s previous books, you’ll want to pick up this one.
Isaiah and Alexis were fabulous as the primary characters. I definitely enjoyed learning more about them and about their backstories. The setting is well, delicious, as only a small, tropical island can be. I pretty much wanted to move there by the time this book was over except for ya know, the crime rate! *laughing* All fueled by one particular author and upcoming huge event that will take place on Tildas Island.
Tightly woven plot, great characters and a wonderful team that works together and has each other’s back tells you you’re reading another great story by Tamsen Schultz. I definitely recommend Night Deception.
Thank you to the publisher and author for an ARC. All thoughts are my own and happily given.
Working with a team is about trust and connections
After a near lethal experience when she was young, FBI agent Alexis is leery of revealing too much about herself or letting people get too close to her- even her own team.
Isaiah mistakenly assumes Alexis is just a rich tourist when she first comes into the bar former SEAL Isiah owns.
Intense drama, tests of faith and trust, and lots of action follow.
Added into the mix are some explosions and foster doggies
A action packed thriller with some interesting people connections

“Night Deception “ is not just another book in a series it’s the best book in the Tildas Island series so far. So, if that trend continues we’re in for further superb reading. As a vehicle for enjoyment it has good characters, mystery, action, a little romance, and murder. What more could you ask for?

Night Deception, Tildas Island book 2 picks up where book 1 ended…mystery beauty enters bar… Alexis, secretive one of the 5 member FBI team…her secrets revealed.
Using Alexis, author, Tamsen Schultz cleverly joins a retired Navy SEAL with the team, adds a little romance, and creates a nonstop, outstanding page turner.
Must read, Tildas Island has the best FBI agents and action I’ve read. This is an ARC, I would read anyway,my honest review.
This is a well-written, entertaining, fast paced, steamy romantic suspense novel. It has likable, engaging, well developed, interesting and diverse characters, a strong and capable female protagonist, a heart-warming romance, a lovely setting, a happily ever after ending, and an intriguing mystery. This is the second entry in Ms. Schultz’s outstanding Tildas Island series, and it works well as a stand-alone, but is better when read in order. I am looking forward to reading the next novel in this series with great anticipation.
The warm-scented night air on Tildas Island is masking the danger and mystery that is swirling around the island of late. And speaking of mystery – Isiah Clarke is intrigued by the tall, gorgeous woman who steals into his bar every once in a while, and in the process steals his attention away from everything else. Who is she? From where does she come? Even a cryptic message from his former SEAL mate/ now-CIA operative does not fully pull him away from musing about his gorgeous bar patron.
Alexis Wright certainly knows who Isiah is and what his background is – her family ensured they all knew it. But like a moth to a flame, Alexis is drawn to The Shack for more than just the double-finger pour. As these two dance a bit around each other, there is one intense situation ready to pull the FBI agent and former SEAL into its grip.
As the Tildas series kicked off, Alexis was the mysterious one of the group of FBI agents gathered on the island to observe and prepare for the major global summit occurring on Tildas in the coming year. With model looks, an aloof manner and impeccable skills, she held herself back from her fellow comrades. But the minute Isiah plays her the recording his old friend sent him, Alexis begins to unfurl like a blossom, bit by bit sharing her background with her fellow agents and Isiah. Equally as fascinating but all too horrific in its reality is the situation, they find themselves in, which takes them to the jungles of Honduras and a chase to find an elusive CIA asset that may be in danger. This author brilliantly weaves Alexis and Isiah’s romance with the escalating suspense of the case and possible links to Tildas and the coming Summit. The gentle lulls in the story only serve to rachet up the thrills in a read that truly is the definition of romantic suspense. And of course, as satisfying as the ending in, there still is that craving for more – more about this FBI group and its mission, more Tildas Island, more of these characters. I cannot wait for the next book!
This is book 2 of the Tildas Island series. I enjoyed reading this mystery. The storyline was engaging and held my attention from start to finish. The characters are well developed and written. I would recommend this book.

I had trouble getting into this book. Trying to make a navy seal play second fiddle in some situations was a little hard to take, even being retired his training and past history would have kicked in. I’m not taking away from Alexis the other half of the dual who was an FBI agent, wealthy,smart and capable but trying to put these two together was at the least awkward.
