Dutch is book 5 in the K19 Security Solutions series by Heather Slade and is a standalone but you see friends from the other books.
Dutch and Malin were once a couple until Dutch leaves her and breaks her heart. Dutch shows up in the middle of her ops and kills the assassin who has the answers she is looking for…
Can Dutch keep her safe, figure out who wants her dead and exposing the leak…suspense, action, twists, turns, maybe a way to repair the heartache he caused Malin and build a HEA???
OMG. Nothing is ever simple is it?!? Dutch left her for Algeria, or did he? Malin had so much trouble trusting Dutch again. She keeps pushing Dutch away but wanting him to come back! And, Malin wants and needs to finish the job she started – a strong professional woman. Love these books by Heather Slade. She is so good at combining intrigue, suspense, spies, thrills and romance. The characters are interesting, complex and well developed. Excellent, well written story!
Such a good story.
Dutch and Malin’s story gives a lot of food for thought. To be involved in a situation like they were, even though it was their job, is mind blowing. I was on the edge the whole time. When you’re on edge, you can’t seem to put the book down until it’s finished. It sure is a page turner. It holds your interest to the fullest. Can’t wait for her next book.
As the other books in this series, I enjoyed this a lot: great characters, good story, and well written. However I did find that this one was lacking a little bit of magic; some of the romance felt forced and the chemistry wasn’t what I thought it would be from the teasers dropped in earlier books in this series. Nevertheless an enjoyable read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Dutch is book five in the K19 Security Solutions series a well written story that kept me on the edge of my seat. This series just seems to get better with each book, I want to read Strikers book. This is a series that once it is finished I will be reading again. K19 Security Solutions partner Dutch Miller and CIA Special Agent Malin Kilbourne’s story has a great storyline that kept me turning pages.
As I expected this was a TOTALLY AWESOME STORY!! Nothing is easy for Dutch & Malin, but REAL LOVE isn’t. Don’t start reading (ANY book by Heather Slade!!) & plan to stop after a couple of chapters cuz it ain’t happening ! You have to keep going to find out what Dutch did & how Malin responded!! LOVE THIS AUTHOR & SERIES!!
Again I am starting a series with the latest book instead of the first, but I did find I recognized a couple of folks from Shiver, the first book in Heather’s Military Intelligence Section 6 series.
Dutch rescues Malin from a sticky situation and whisks her off to a private island owned by K19 aided by Onyx and his co-pilot Sara.
Malin is CIA she’s certain she’s about to be burned and her mission was ended before she could get the information that would keep her alive.
Dutch’s reasoning for helping Malin is strictly personal, he made a decision that hurt Malin so deeply years ago and he needs to fix it. He doesn’t quite know how to do this, but he does know that he wants her and not just for now but forever.
Between the ups and downs in Dutch and Malin’s relationship and the K19 crew working to get her in the clear. This book will keep you on your toes.
Plenty of suspense, drama and fiery romance.
I have already purchased the first two books in this series so I can begin to catch up. I really need to do that before the next one releases.

I have waited for his story but of course it wasn’t complete until he let Al go and he found his way back to Malin. While this is a series where each book is a standalone they do have some overflow and stuff that come from other books in the series and this is that overflow well part of it. You need to have at least read Mantis book to understand this one because Dutch has finally pulled his head out of his butt and is thinking with the right head to make things all better. She know’s his tell so he’s gonna need to come clean in order to have half a chance of regaining her trust after that punk move. Malin in operation mode is no joke but in broken heart mode she is a whole nuther creature.

Read alone or in series order, it really doesn’t matter as Heather Slade writes detailed, compelling stories that fulfil the reader’s needs either way.
Stunningly written with a cast of inspiring, charismatic characters, this book will grab and hold your attention from page one. I find it extremely difficult to write about the actual storyline without giving plot details away, so suffice to say, the book’s description and blurb accurately explains the novel.
Heather Slade is a name to look for, even search for…
Easily worth the 5 out of 5 stars given in my review. This book has it all.

I really enjoyed reading this story .I was afraid Dutch would never find a happy loving relationship . While this story was suspenseful and full of action it was also a bit emotional . I felt like Malin deserved to be treated better than Dutch treated her in the past . She should have made him work harder for her love . But man I love this series and the characters are all fabulous . I highly recommend this story .

I’ve been waiting for Dutch to come out since I read Mantis, and it did NOT disappoint! Dutch and Malin had some hurt to overcome and it made them relatable. I’m so happy that Dutch finally got his happy ever after! Now…. Who’s next???
Book 5 in the K19 series. We have met Dutch before and seen him in love with Alegria, but in the end knowing that he could never replace Mantis in her heart, helping them to get back together. He turns to the other woman he loved, the one he had left to be with Alegria.When her life is threatened he will do anything to protect her, and with him all team members of K19, as one big family.
This is their story – Dutch and Malin.
Like the other books, well written, a good blend of political intrigue, romance and adventure. I live the characters of the main characters, as they are complex and deep, anything but stereo-type..

To fully appreciate Dutch’s story I believe you need to read Mantis first however all the books in the series can be read as a standalone. However, reading it in the series will give you back information on the other characters.
Just like all the other books in the series, there is plenty of intrigue, action, and romance. It will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat.
I recommend this story.

When you’ve been rejected and hurt… it’s hard to trust again… I’ve only recently come across this author, reading another loosely connected series… so I found myself debating whether to just dive in or go back to the beginning.
While stand alone… with this particular story I believe you need precious connection and context in the K19 Security Solutions series, especially Mantis to fully appreciate DUTCH. Really… why start at Bk 5 when there is a whole world of K19 operatives to catch up on.
No matter that attraction reigns hot and heavy between Malin and Dutch… it hurts bad when that person loves another. For a brief moment, you’ll take whatever you can have, until it’s not enough. When enough is not enough and you happen work for the CIA, for Malin – this means burying yourself in work and danger.
For Dutch… he it’s going to take a lot to prove himself to Malin. No journey to love is ever smooth sailing. It’s a difficult path to navigate… it becomes even more hazardous when dangerous intentions all the way to the top and suspense looms… there isn’t time to work out differences or so it would seem… Dutch is determined to claim his lady… the right lady… this time. Malin can’t help but fall for his charms yet again.
A recommended reading for those that love page-turning mayhem, love military/spy based heroes, strong female characters that show vulnerability. Mix this up with a suspenseful drama, the intricacies of all that governs one’s relationships, and the intrigue of secrets… Heather Slade has delivered an amazing book – totally engaging. A wonderful story from start to finish, it does jump a little but still easy to read, during a quiet weekend.
This next book in the K19 series is every bit as good as the previous ones. It is not necessary to read them all in order, but it does make the characters easier to keep track of. The characters are very likeable even if they seem a little rough in the beginning, I was really hooked on learning how they were going to find their HEA. Some parts of the plot are very similar to the other stories but it was still an enjoyable read.

I didn’t like how Dutch left Malin, the woman he was in a relationship to be with Alegria after she broke up with his best friend Mantis. I thought that was a really crappy thing to do and I don’t blame Malin for being angry and having trouble forgiving him. She did almost get him killed during her mission trying to get information, but that doesn’t make it even. Just like the other books in this series this one had plenty of action, intrigue, and sexy romance. It was great to catch up with the other members of K19 and there were some new players that look like they will have some interesting stories in the future.
Another action packed book to the series. I loved Dutch and Milan’s story. The author does a great job building and moving the story , filling it with drama,suspense and twists and brings tons of emotion. She brought the story to life and had me hooked from start to finish. I loved this book and highly recommend reading.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Dutch a K19 partnner saves Malin’so life by shooting the man with a gun to her head. She is furious as they were working together in the middle of an op she had been on for a year.
He kidnaps her, and try to convince her to give him a second chance.
Malin is in the middle of the biggest op of her life, political coupon all the way to the top she just has to prove it and keep everyone alive. There is not time to define and build a relationship or is there.

Thrilling suspense and romance!
Dutch has his work cut out for him when he realizes he can’t live without Malin – the girl he threw over when he thought he was in love with another. Malin can’t deny her feelings for Dutch, but she can protect her heart by not letting him have another chance to destroy her. The romance in this book is intense; while we know Dutch’s story and therefore we know his heart belongs to Malin, we also know the heartache she suffered and don’t blame her a bit for being so caustic to him.
This is a standalone romance; however, the full story of his relationship with Mantis and Alegria is explained in the previous book, along with the spycraft events that ended where this story picks up. This series is best read in order to get the full picture, but not entirely necessary.
We last saw Dutch saving Malin’s life but in the process blowing the lid off her current mission. All he wants to do now is protect her, but she’s got to finish her mission or she’ll never be safe. All the cloak and dagger stuff really drives home their emotions, even as it prevents them from planning for a future they don’t yet know they’ll have.
This book neatly solves all the problems by the time we get to the hard-won HEA, with nail-biting action and heartbreaking confessions along the way. Forgiveness is a powerful weapon, one that proves to be all they need to muster the resources necessary for victory. It’s a wonderful story, one of my favorites from this outstanding series. I highly recommend these books to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
