While each book in the K19 Security Solutions Series is a standalone with its own HEA, they may be more enjoyable read in order.more

Gunner and Raketa’s story was so good! I loved not knowing which of the characters in the story could be trusted, and I was surprised by the twist at the end.
This is an awesome series! I always look forward to the next release so that I can get updates on all of the K19 partners. I am intrigued by Monk, and I really hope he gets his own story.

Provided with a free ARC for an honest review. Great romance between Gunner and Raketa. Tense situations, back from the dead characters, emotional scenes, evil villains, and some unknown relatives. A great book from beginning to end.
Another fantastic book in the K19 series by Heather Slade. Great writing, excellent balance of suspense, romance and action, and some really wonderful character development. The depth and breadth of plot twists and relationships between characters really make this story come alive.
Zary is a perfect match for Gunner in every way!
Even though they “met” years ago on opposite sides of a rifle scope, these two instinctively knew right then that they each would have a significant impact on the other’s life. Their work for different intelligence agencies kept them apart for a long time, but finally, after the revelations in Razor’s story about who Makar Petrov really is and that he has kidnapped Zary (code name Raketa), Gunner is ready to pull out all the stops and make her his. If he can get there in time.
As with the previous books by this author, this is a standalone romance set in a larger world of international criminals and the men and women tasked with bringing them to justice. K19 is neck-deep in Petrov’s affairs already, so they’re on the move to track him down at any cost.
Gunner’s romance with his Rocket Girl develops against the edge-of-your-seat action and suspense, and it’s breathtaking in its depth and scope. These are two people who have been damaged almost beyond repair, yet they dive headfirst into a love so deep, so consuming, that it’s all they can do to come up for air long enough to stay alive.
The story has a wonderfully satisfying HEA, leaving us cheering for the entire K19 team and looking forward to the next story in this amazing series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Gunner Godet has been attracted to Zaryana “Raketa” Ivashov for years, but she has worked against him for the KGB. When she refuses their latest assignment and chooses to get out with Gunner’s help United Russia puts a high price on her head. In return for his assistance Gunner wants her help in taking out criminal mastermind Petrov, who is the father of Avarie, wife of Gunner’s best friend and business partner Razor. Raketa, who was an orphan, discovers that her parents are actually alive and who they are. There are many suspenseful moments in this book as Gunner works protects Raketa against UR and Petrov while finding a way to be with her forever.
Wow this was one heck of a book!
A real page turner that held me captive from the beginning.
I loved the storyline and I loved the chemistry between Gunner and Raketa.
Will most definitely check out the next book in this series.

First things first!! I loved seeing Gunner come unglued especially after Lena. Everyone is hooking up and everything about their team, the original team that is, is changing. Gunner doesn’t understand I mean come on he’s a mans man and only missions count and let’s just bypass the pleasantries and get down to business. Are you still talking?? Is there a point?? You must not be talking to Gunner cos you’re still standing. Yeah all man. But when the mission goes sideways and helping a friend becomes more. Between his secrets and here’s there’s some huge gaps and issues that have to be worked out. Can two that have always kept things close to the vest really open up and give room for trust to grow. It’s not a question and for them it’s something that if they want it bad enough it will have to happen and soon. There are lives at stake and the stakes are growing by leaps and bounds.
Love it this author doesn’t skimp on intrigue, action or passion. The passion doesn’t steal the show though not like these hunks of Alpha and the women they love. . . which now include kids. Gunner is screwed, well the old Gunner is.
Gunner’s story is the next in the K19 series, a spin-off of the Butler Ranch series. I’ve been intrigued with Gunner since we first met him and was eager to read an early copy of his and Raketa’s story. In it we see a softer, deeper side to the special operative, surprising both the reader and Gunner himself. It’s always great entertainment when the tough, alpha hero discovers he actually is capable of tenderness and love. However, this is pretty far from a hearts and flowers romance because Gunner and Raketa are both tough, strong and stubborn and trust is a big issue with each of them.
Although this book would best be enjoyed after reading the others in the series, Slade does a good job of filling in the backstories without bogging down the narrative so the reader gets the big picture. The K19 guys, along with several other agencies, are still after the bad guy from whom they rescued Raketa, a man who also has ties to another member of the K19 family. Plenty of plotlines as well as the romance are resolved in this book, with just enough left open to make me eager for the next book in the series. With a delicious slow burn romance, lots of drama and plenty of suspense, this is one wild ride you won’t want to miss.
The second book in the K19 Security Solutions is as good as the first. This spin-off from the Butler Ranch series lives up to my expectations based on reading Heather Slade’s other books. Gunner turns out to be quite the romantic in spite of Raketa’s mistrust. There is plenty of action, mystery and romance to make this a good story. The characters have depth and likeability. Definitely a recommended read on my list.

“Gunner” (K19 Security Solutions Book 2) by Heather Slade is a great read. I loved Gunner and Raketa’s story. This is a great addition to this series, packed with action, romance, passion, twists and turns, entertaining characters, and more. I can’t wait to see what happens next in “Mantis” (K19 Security Solutions Book 3). Highly recommend to all fans of romance, action, former military, and series.
Another great book in the series. Well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. Struggles and trust has a lot to do in this story. With so many agencies involved trust has to be of concern. Action packed to keep your interest and Gunner and Raketa both find what they never thought would come to them.
Absolutely Fantastic.

Love romantic suspense and I could see where this story could have been great. Unfortunately, I did not realize until I started reading this story that the previous books (both the first book in this series and the Butler Ranch series) should really be read to understand what is going on. I felt like I was dropped into the middle of the story and there are lots of storylines that I was lost in reading. Now, that is not the fault of the author, I just wish I knew before I began reading this story. It was a little choppy for me but maybe not for others. Overall, I liked the story.
