ARE ETHICAL AND PATRIOTIC JUST WORDS?
I GIVE THIS BOOK 4.5 STARS
Book 5 of the K19 Security Solutions series. This book is about second chances and the everchanging world of the CIA and the American government. It has a very impressive narration on the events in today’s politics. I love the way Heather got to the bottom of the story and how a not-so mere woman set everything into action. The second chance part of love made me a little angry at the male who made one of the biggest mistakes in his life and expected immediate forgiveness.
Dutch and Malin’s story pulled me in and I couldn’t put it down! I know it’s part of a series, but I wasn’t lost. I’m sure the stories are all connected, and now I’m gonna have to read the first four!! It is a really good read!

I didn’t understand why Malin was considering Dutch! After what he did to her by choosing another woman, Malin was talking to him. She went back and forth TOO MANY times. She was fine and then she was mad. But it they just didn’t talk about the elephant in the room. I never felt the love between these two. Not my favorite book in the K19 series.
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read.
Dutch, Dutch, Dutch. 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. Either way it goes it’s a great read and it’s steamy too.
I went into this book not knowing if I wanted Dutch to get a second chance with Malin after the way he treated her in previous books, so I shocked and surprised when I started rooting for him but he really does come good in this book. If like me you have read and enjoyed the previous books in the series then you are not going to want to miss this. It a great read that had me pulled in right from the very start I just loved it.
I So Looked forward to Dutch’s story – Excellent Read!!
Danger and intrigue rule the day in this story. Dutch is no longer Malin’s supervisor, so she is no longer “off-limits”. Except he also royally messed up, and she may never forgive him. Dutch has learned the hard way what (who) he wants in his life…but it is different than even he imagined.
The whole K19 team must become involved to beat the bad guys. Super emotional, romantic and a terrific read!!
*** I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book ***
This is a great read and another solid addition to this suspenseful and action packed series. Dutch and Milan’s story gives you plenty of feels as past and present collide and previous mistakes cause lasting repercussions for Dutch. I felt really bad for Milan and could sympathize with her pain and feelings of betrayal. Dutch was fool that made a really dumb choice. He had plenty to make up for. The storyline offers readers lots of emotional turmoil, drama, angst, twists, surprises, action, suspense, passion and romance.
It’s funny how, when true love comes along, everything pales in comparison. Dutch thought he was in love with his best friend, until he realized she was in love with their mutual best friend and Dutch stepped aside. But when Malin breezes into his life, Dutch realizes what he thought was love for another was nothing compared to his feelings for Malin.
If you’ve been keeping up with the K19 guys, you know that each book stands alone, but along with a romance, there’s an exciting, intriguing story of suspense that also resolves each time. This one is full of fascinating complexities involving corrupt government, foreign government interference, secret societies, deep state, and “accidents” to eliminate threats. Once again, I’m in awe of this author’s skill and talent in researching background and combining the details in a riveting storyline. Don’t miss this latest adventure with the heroes and heroines of K19 as Dutch and Malin find their happily ever after.

Another well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. This story about the mission Malin was on that didn’t turn out as expected. The way Dutch comes into the story and just how him and Malin end up finishing the mission with the help of K19 Security Solutions. As this is a standalone read and book five in the series you can follow along just fine with everyone’s participation.
Dutch Miller and Malin Kilbourne have a history but Dutch walked away to explore what he believed to be greener pastures. In doing so he ripped out and stomped on her heart.
Their paths have crossed once again and Dutch’s decisions have put Agent Kilbourne’s mission and ultimately her safety at risk.
Stepping in to help keep her safe and to further investigate her mission from all angles, brings back some unwanted, but nevertheless strong, feelings for them both. Is it hatred, love, self preservation or is it simply downright lust?
This is a couple you feel should have always been together whilst appreciating that Malin is distrustful of Dutch and his motives.
Their ‘mission’ to HEA is sweet but sometimes sad as Malin relives her heartbreak and her subsequent decisions and actions following Dutch’s betrayal.
This is a sometimes emotional read but before long and despite his previously bad decisions, this reader was championing Dutch in his efforts to once again win the hand of the fair Malin.
A must read for fans of Heather Slade and her K19 Security team.
DNF 15%
I haven’t read any other books in this series and I think that effected by ability to get into this story. I felt no connection between Dutch and Milan. We’re given the smallest glimpse of them in the past, but even there I didn’t feel like there was something big between them. Certainly not something that would have stayed with them.
The other issue I had is even in just the first 15% there’s SO much going on in the book. Between the mission getting blown up, glimpses of the past and several different/new side characters I easily became lost.
The story itself wasn’t well formatted as we jump from area to area with little transition or notice to the reader. I had to stop and go back a few times to figure out how they got from A to B since there was only a paragraph break (with a symbol) between the two steps.
I think this book probably would be easier to follow had I read the other books in the series.

“Dutch” (K19 Security Solutions Book 5) by Heather Slade is a great read. I enjoyed Dutch and Malin’s story. This was a nice addition to the series. I loved catching up with so many favorites. This book is packed with suspense, romance, passion, humor, twists and turns, entertaining characters, and more. I can’t wait to see what happens next! Recommend to all fans of romance, suspense, and series.
I really enjoyed Dutch and Malin’s story. After reading Mantis, I wasn’t sure if Dutch deserved to win Malin back after the way he had treated her, but Heather Slade did a great job redeeming him. I love her writing style and always look forward to her new releases. I’m eagerly awaiting the next K19 Security Solutions book!
