Summary
Niall’s never known anything but betrayal. All Mat wants is Niall’s heart. What will it take for him to coax Niall in from the cold?
Mat's connection with Niall is tenuous; one step forward, two steps back. Since that night on the beach Niall's been avoiding Mat like a bad case of the flu - which, ironically, most of his deputies have come down with. What will it take for Niall to truly believe Mat wants him for who he is?
Mat's overworked, Niall's unnerved, and then things really go sideways.
Will a killer destroy everything before Niall realizes they are stronger together than apart?
Long Shadow is a dual POV about a broody introvert and a somewhat patient sheriff. Mat’s going to have to prove to Niall he's the man for him. The Hamarsson and Dempsey series follows the same couple as they find their way to their happily ever after.

More!
Long Shadow shows us more about Niall and Mat. There’s suspense, and arson and a possible killer on the loose. I loved that this books keep me on my toes, searching for clues while also rooting for Niall to come to his senses and just accept love. The characters are endearing, Mat’s family is so sweet and supportive plus that surprise for Niall at the end. I would say they have their happily ever after but there is a sequel that I can’t wait to listen to!

Amazing!
5 Stars
Long Shadow is book 2 in the Hamarsson and Dempsey series and it needs to be read/listened to in order. This review may contain spoilers.
Niall is being difficult at the start of the book and still keeping Mat at arm's length, which I totally get, don't get me wrong. He's had a hard life and it's not easy for him to let anyone—not even Mat, who truly has the patience of a saint—in. As if that wasn't enough, the fires have continued in Piedras island and now they're escalating.
I'm really enjoying this series, well, other than wanting to shake some sense into Niall, although I will admit it he got much better around halfway through the story. Mat was amazing as always and continues being my favorite of the two of them. They have great chemistry and I felt like the progression of their relationship, while slow, was very organic, especially considering Niall's issues. I loved that we got to see more of them as a couple this time around.
The mystery of the fires was partially, yet satisfyingly, solved, so even if there are still a few things that need to be addressed, I don't feel like I was left hanging. I just hope Ms. Keaton hurries up with it because I need the next book pronto! LOL
Michael Dean never ceases to amaze me. He has such a wide range of voices and does a fantastic job every single time with his performance, which translates on him not only giving each character a distinctive voice but bringing them and the story to life with his narration.
Overall, if you've read Conspiracy Theory, you absolutely need to listen to Long Shadow and if you haven't, what are you waiting for? Pick both books/audiobooks, because you're missing out on a great series otherwise.

Nice slow burn with lots of mystery.
I read Long Shadow when the ebook came out in May 2020 and I was so excited to get the opportunity to listen to and review the audio version. *Michael Dean did a fantastic job with this book, just like he did with book one, Conspiracy Theory.
I started listening to this with the intention of catching up on some chores while I listened. Since I'd already read the book, I figured I didn't have to pay really close attention while listening to the audio version. WRONG! LOL I was totally captivated by the story all over again and couldn't let myself concentrate on anything else while I listened to it.
Michael Dean's voice is so easy to listen to. He does unique voices for each character so it's easy to tell who is talking. I really love the different female voices he used in this one (there are several). I've been known to shed more than one or two tears while reading a book but that doesn't always guarantee that the audio version will affect me as deeply. Long Shadow absolutely engaged my emotions as much or more than when I read the book.
Below is the review I wrote back in May.
Long Shadow is book two in the Hamarsson and Dempsey series with the main couple continuing throughout the series. Book one had a very satisfying HFN and this one even more so. The author does a great job of giving us information from book one that we need to enjoy this story. So, I kind of think you could read this without having read Conspiracy Theory but then you'd be missing a great book.
There is a lot of mystery and intrigue going on in Long Shadow and it kept me on the edge of my seat in places. A couple of things happened that I didn't see coming which is always nice when reading romantic suspense. Mat and Niall's relationship moves along at a steady pace, with Niall pretty much fighting it at every turn until he finally gives in.
I'm a big fan of slow-burn romance and this is a great one. If you're looking for hot and spicy time being front and center this might not be the book for you. What it is though, is a wonderfully crafted story with interesting characters and enough suspense to keep you engaged until the end.
Some mysteries are solved in this book but there are still underlying issues that aren't resolved. I really wouldn't call this a cliffhanger because we definitely know that Mat and Niall are a couple and I didn't feel like I was left hanging so much that I'll die if I can't read the next one tomorrow.
Don't take that to mean that I didn't love this, or don't want the next one as soon as possible, because I do. But the story was complete enough to leave me very satisfied and not unhappy that I'll have to wait until next year to read it.
A copy of this audio book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.

Mat and Niall are back!
More mysteries to solve, danger to face and those pesky emotions to deal with (for Niall anyway).
A good continuation of Niall and Mat's story with a twisted web of crime and some new found family, this story was a good escape
away to Piedras. I like seeing Niall and Mat moving forward and only one storyline is left open at the end and I look forward to seeing what happens next!
