Product Description
Glass artist Shona Blackwood has lost her ability to create, but instead of panic, all she feels is apathy. Her detachment is shaken when she narrowly avoids being mugged, thanks to a timely rescue by a man who makes all her senses come roaring to life.
Logan Andrews is a magical troubleshooter assigned to protect Shona from an unseen enemy. Shona is unaware that magic actually exists and Logan is under orders not to tell her, but it isn't long before he finds his loyalty torn between his people and the passionate woman he is guarding.
He thought this would be a straightforward job, but Logan quickly realizes that in an edgy contest between magic and passion, love is destined to win.

Don't Let the Cover Fool You..., Jun 30 2009
By Mel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Edge of Dawn (Mass Market Paperback)
Yes, the cover is lame. But I've got a great suggestion-- open the book and enter a fascinating world where our everyday lives are infused with hidden magic. I'm not much of a paranormal reader, but I do love good, compelling romance, and that's what I got here. Logan and Shona are an incredibly realistic couple. On the surface they have little in common-- she's a glass artist, he's been to a museum once or twice; he loves to restore vintage cars, she knows how to put the key in the ignition-- but it's clear that they respect their differences and really admire one another.
The author does a fantastic job of conveying Shona's struggle with artist's block-- she's identified herself as an artist for so long that this sudden block and inability to create... well, it *hurts*, and the reader feels that. I also enjoyed how normal this magic world seems-- yes, there are strong paranormal elements, but those are tempered by scenes with two girlfriends sitting around eating Frosties from Wendy's. It's so normal I find myself wondering if my next door neighbors are secretly battling magical beings while I'm at work.
This is a great, easy read that will please paranormal readers and straight-up romance readers as well. O'Shea continues to demonstrate a deft touch with characterization that lingers long after the fight scenes are over.

Great read!, April 25 2010
By A. Clair-fitzgerald "nettisue" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Edge of Dawn (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the third in the Light Warriors series, Ms. O'Shea's books keep getting better & better. I found that I could connect well with both Logan & Shona; the story was filled with action, magic, and great chemistry. There were brief glimpses of Kel, Logan's twin, whom I completely adored. Definitely a must read for Paranormal Romance lovers as well as fans of Urban Fantasy.

4.5 stars - Another action packed magical romance from O'shea, Sep 15 2009
By melindeeloo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Edge of Dawn (Mass Market Paperback)
Edge of Dawn, third in O'Shea's Light Warriors series, has a nice balance of story, action, and romance all topped off with a healthy dose of magic.
Unknown to Shona, magical Light Warrior troubleshooter Logan has been assigned to protect the lovely but shy Shona from dark mages. After Logan rescues her from an attack, Shona decides to risk stepping out of her comfort zone to pursue her instant attraction to her kind and gorgeous savior. Logan thinks that dating is a good way to stay close enough to Shona to protect her, but Logan doesn't bargain on Shona's hidden passionate nature or his growing need to get close to the entrancing woman which is nothing about protection and all about the desire that sizzles between them. But when Logan discovers the reason why his enemies are after Shona, he may be forced to either betray Shona or break his vow to his magical race - either choice carries a cost that Logan just can't bear.
There was a lot that I liked about Edge of Dawn. Both of the leads were extremely likable, and bookish me was rooting for the shy contained Shona who overcomes the extreme caution with which she's live her life, and the truly nice guy Logan who is unable to keep business separate from pleasure. I liked Logan's careful pursuit of Shona, even though the chemistry between them is apparent from the start. And I liked that both of the pair are unable to maintain the control that has been so much a part of their lives when they are around each other. It leads to some nice steamy moments - as long as one doesn't stop to think of the reality of the location of their first tryst. Add in conflicts which force the hero to choose between love and duty, some dragon magic and a villainess who is not all bad and I thoroughly enjoyed the book and can't wait for more. Couldn't find anything on O'Shea's website yet about the next book in the series but I am hoping for Logan's twin Kel and Shona's conflicted friend.
