Protect, honor, obey, and serve. Four words I was raised by. Four words I live by. Four words that may very well kill me as I endeavor to keep them alight. Years ago, I pledged to protect her. I swore an oath to never let her down. However, I didn’t know back then that not all your enemies wear camouflage. Some share your blood. Silent Vigilante is a heart-pumping romantic suspense about a boy …
Silent Vigilante is a heart-pumping romantic suspense about a boy who made a promise his father will never let him keep, and a girl whose family has just as many secrets.

This is a good story so far because of the obviously very layered mystery that is pretty confusing to the reader because we are learning the clues and putting things together as they are unfolding to Brandon. I like a book that engages my mind in such a way that I am trying to figure the mystery out myself.
The relationship between Brandon and Melody is that of first love between children, then teenagers, then young adults. The things happening to Melody seem to much to be just bad luck. At the end of book 1, readers are likely going to be both full of sympathy for her, but also unhappy with the choice she made at the end.
They were meant for each other but will they ever be together in the end
Silent Vigilante is the eighteenth book in the Enigma series and is the story of Brandon and Melody. They have been in each others lives since they were young children and he has really loved and protected her since then. Both have tragedy in their lives and people who conspire against them, to keep them apart. But they do love each other and as we all know loves conquers all, even if it does take time to do it.
This is an emotion story that really takes the reader on a journey as only Shandi Boyes is able to do. The book is well written but there were a few things that did not make sense and I don’t think were properly researched, which is a shames as it would have been easy. But otherwise this is a great addition to the series and was a wonderful story to read. A definite recommendation to other readers.
Brandon’s story has absolutely floored me, I at this moment want to just hug him, his relationship with Melody, his mother and father, his brothers and mr Gregg and how he meets Grayson, I warn you now this ends in a cliffhanger which just adds to my emotions, as always a feast from Shandi Boyes, wonderful reading.

They were best friends then lovers!
by sewsummore
Brandon and Melody grew up living next door to each other. They were best friends and then lovers, planning a life together. Then something happened that put an end to their romance, something Melody experienced that she could never explain. I found this book fascinating reading. Brandon and Melody shared their early childhood, Brandon was taught by Melody’s father to protect her from harm, until, due to circumstances beyond his control, he was unable to be there when she needed him the most. This book ends with a cliff hanger, their story will continue in the next book.

Fantastic story! Characters that will steal your heart. A storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat and glued to your kindle! For me it was a love- hate deal as the characters face their demons. You will feel their emotions and struggles. A definite must read.

This is the usual great story from this author. It does not disappoint. Sweet romance, mystery, danger and excitement Each story focuses on one character but he way the stories all weave together is amazing. Each story gives the characters. Brandon is a character we had been introduced in previous stories. He was not a particularly likable character for me. He seemed a little sneaky. This story will give you a background on Brandon. His background is a little unorthodox. His immediate family is dysfunctional
His time is spent with neighbor Melodie and her father. Her father is paranoid about safety. He trains Melodie and Brandon on survival and defense tactics. Due to an incident in their past, he is overprotective of both Melodie and her mother. This story starts as a sweet romance between a young couple that leaves us hanging with a murky mystery.

This is book eighteen in the Enigma series. This is Brandon’s story, there are four words that he mean everything to him – protect, honor, obey and serve.
Have you ever picked up a book knowing that character beforehand, not sure of that character and then having that character kick you in the butt? That is this book for me. Brandon makes Melody a promise, a promise that he as he grows up, he is going to learn that his father will never let him honor. Melody comes her with own bag of secrets. Is it possible for these two find their HEA? What an amazing story! Enjoy!
have you ever picked up a book, knowing the character, unsure of that character
Wow! This book is amazing. I love all the characters and how the story is playing out. I can not wait for more.

I felt so much with this. The suspense and what-ifs had me on edge. I felt for Melody so much and was rooting for her and Brandon. But not all is simple. They have had a hard road and it’s not even done. I kept hoping I would get to their ending and then, BAM! I still have to wait…

Brandon and Melody have had a childhood like no other. Both have been fighting most of their lives Brandon was trained to protect Melody always. Trained military style by Melody’s father Liam to protect her at any cost. Even his own.
Learning more about their backgrounds gives you insight to the pain and suffering and this is only part one.
Such heartache at the depths of loss shared between the two families and the endless struggle to continue. Brandon promised to keep her safe above all else.
Secrets are hidden in both families and Brandon will not stop until he discovers how deep his father’s business secrets are, and why he seems to be determined to keep Melody from him.
I highly recommend this book and I can’t wait to the next book to reveal more dark secrets.
This book is everything you would expect from a Shandi book. Emotional, heartbreaking, phenomenal, suspenseful, and so much more.
After reading the Engima series I knew Brandon was going to have a complicated past full of secrets.
This first part follows his and Melody’s life from age six until they are in college.
I loved getting to know Brandon, and learning why he is the way he is. My heart breaks for Melody after everything she had suffered in her young life.
I cannot wait for part 2 to get to learn about more of Brandon’s secrets
I absolutely recommend reading the Enigma series due to major spoilers
I cannot recommend this book enough

I Never even imagined that there could be soo many layers to Brandon’s personality! The way he lives his early years is a testament to the good inside of him.
There are so many answers I need from the 2nd b part of this duo. This first part has brought up so many questions for me. I don’t want to spoil anything so I’ll keep them at bay for now. It will definitely help to remember his various actions in the previous Enigma Book. What I see in this one was a brave little boy. Who’s heart is in his eyes. I cannot wait to read how Shandi Boyes finishes the second part of this. Her mind completely ravels these characters stories together seemlessly! This is a must read for fans off the Enigma series. Also anyone that wants a really good storyline with feels that make you laugh, cry, love and all the feelings in between!
I reviewed a complementary copy of this book.
This is such a great book. It really starts to explain Brandon in a whole new way. He has been through so much and you would never know it till you read this book. His love for Melody is rock solid and I believe it still is at the end. He has been her rock and protector. I can’t wait for the next book!!!
I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as the rest off the Enigma books because of my impression of Brandon. Boy was I wrong, I devoured it and cannot wait for the second part. It is a sad book in many ways, especially the second half and poor Melody, she has had more bad things happen to her in her short life than anyone should have to experienced. It also has moments of humour and is full of intrigue and raises more questions than it answers and the end will leave you devastated and I hope Ms. Boyes has a happy ending in mind or I might not make it.
