A Sexy Edgy Romance
Love the K19 Series and can’t say enough good about each book.
Gunner is all alpha, has a heart, but a few demons lurk inside from what he’s done and seen. He’s a born protector and killer when necessary.
Raketa is also alpha, with a heart that has a wall around it for self preservation. Trained for UR as their Op, she wants out now, and wants Gunner to help.
These two together are so hot, so hot headed, and not at all sure if love even works or fits in their lives.
Gunner and Raketa give you ALL the emotions as they explore their connection, stay alive and get the bounty off her head. Not so simple, when you don’t know your past or who to trust anymore.
Each book is stand alone with a feel good ending. The back story however, will keep you wanting more and more.
Ms Slade, you again took me on a journey that had me lost to reality.

The plot thickens…
Whilst this is Gunner and Raketa’s book the plot is a continuation from the first book, so you do need to have read book one before this one as it picks up where that left off.
Gunner is determined he is going to rescue his ‘Rocket Girl’ but he should know that nothing is that simple add in that Raketa doesn’t want to be rescued and Gunner’s headache just got bigger! She is no wailing princess awaiting rescue, she is a warrior, a deadly assasin and she is already plotting her escape…she needs an accomplice, not a hero!
Their chemistry is explosive, their passion is steamy but her captor is depraved and will stop at nothing to claim his prize. Not only are they battling a psychopath, and dodging an assassin but there are double agents, unknown family members, corruption and secrets. If anyone can put the puzzle pieces together it will be K19 but the pressure is on and time is running out, it is edge of your seat stuff as the clock ticks down to zero….
A fantastic, suspenseful romance story of a woman’s struggle to rescue her mother from a mad man while being hunted by a secret government agency she worked for. And a man fighting to keep her safe and protected. Full of mystery, secrets, suspense, dangerous secret government agencies, a mad man, fear, doubt, passion, and love. Another great new read from Heather Slade, Gunner will have reader entertained from beginning to end.

A really good romance with lots of heat.
When Gunner first meets Raketa, she takes his breath away but they don’t have the time or the chance to do anything about it as they are both in the middle of a mission. On opposite sides. Over the years though, they begin to trust each other and help each other out. What Gunner doesn’t realize is that Raketa fell in love with him at first glance. Now, he’s realizing that he’s got some pretty strong feelings for her too and to complicate things, he has to take her underground to protect her after rescuing her.
I adore this series! This book is the second in the K19 Security Solutions and is a continuation of the Butler Ranch series. This whole series has been well written and developed. Each book does add on to the book before but it can easily be read as a standalone.

And the hunting continues.
This is a standalone, just like the first book in the series (Razor), but besides the couple’s story, there’s also a background plot connecting the two books.
Gunner and Zary were supposed to hate each other, but life, danger and the need for protection put them together in a way they couldn’t, nor wanted to, ignore.
Despite their growing feelings, they had huge issues about trusting someone else (understandably so), and that almost ruined what was growing between them a lot of times.
When they finally accepted each other, embraced their feelings and put their distrust aside, their love blossomed beautifully.
More than the first book, I felt this one required knwoledge about their backgrounds that I wasn’t exactly privy to. I could read and enjoy their story, but with so many different names and characters and so many references to the past, it was a little confusing at times.
That didn’t stop me from enjoying and liking this book, though.
So much excitement and drama. I could not quit reading. And the steam….yeah just the right amount of heat. I could not put this story down.
This is Book 2 of the K 19 Security Solutions.
This is the story of Gunner & Raketa. Gunner is part owner of K19 Security Solutions. Raketa works for Russia. They had met when he was younger and on a mission, and she was supposed to kill him and another. She let them go. They think about each other since that day. She comes back to help K19 and makes a deal with Gunner to help her defect. Part of the mission went wrong. She was captured by the person K19 was supposed to capture or kill. He goes under the radar to try and rescue her, while three organizations including K19 is working to find her captor. There are a lot twists in this story, which make it a lot more interesting. Trust is the biggest issue in this story. There is an HEA ending. Great second book to this series.
I have to say when the guys of K19 fall in love it’s not easy by any definition.
Gunner knew Zaryana ‘Raketa’ Ivashov was the one for him when she didn’t shoot him on a mission. She works for United Russia and wants to defect. She couldn’t carry out her last mission, so returning would be suicide.
While helping protect Razor’s now wife Ava she ended up kidnapped by Petrov. Now Gunner needs to find her as well as get the five million dollar bounty off her head.
Once Gunner has her he takes her into protection on his island. It’s here we get insight into Raketa’s life.
So many twists and turns as K19 works to figure out who the woman was Raketa saw and what her real relationship to Petrov is.
Edge of your seat suspense, hold your breath action and lots sizzle make this a page turning read.
This book is part of the great K19 series. This is Gunner and Zary’s story. Both are agents from opposite sides, but are drawn to each other by an long time unexplained attaraction. This story has it all great characters, mystery, danger, angst, steamy sex and love!

Well written story but it is not a standalone. You have to read the previous ones to understand all in this story. Nice story line and plot. Drama, danger and passion is mixed and makes it a nice read. Great chemistry and well described characters.
4.5 Stars
This is book 2 in the K19 Security series and it features Raketa and Gunner. The first two chapters of this book feel kind of chaotic. After that the story line smooths out. There’s still a lot of information to process and lots of characters to keep track of throughout the book. The mystery and suspense has you on the edge of your seat and the spy game is on point.
I love to see these big bad alpha men fall for that one woman that’s meant only for them. I can’t wait for the next book in this fantastic series.
I really like this book. It has the right amount of action with enough suspense and twist and turns to keep it interesting. It was a very enjoyable story. I like how Gunner is strong and yet so vulnerable. He is open to showing his emotions. Discussing his feelings with the guys on the team takes a strong man. Reketa is a cold hard killer, yet is sensitive, soft and feisty. She doesn’t want to care yet she can’t stop it. The plot is well written with suspense, mystery, romance, and so much emotion. Even though this can be read as a stand alone, I love returning to visit with the team. I can’t wait to read more from this series.
Gunner by Heather Slade was a good story of intrigue suspense and love. This is book 2 in the K19 Security series and was a good addition. This was a well written story that captures you from the start of the story till the end. The characters are strong, maybe a bit vulnerable and definitely intriguing. Gunner is a K19 Security Specialist who is working very deep undercover even his own people don’t know what or where he is. Zarynan “Raketa” is tired of the game and is ready for the game to be over. Gunner is a good guy who has demons, but is willing to help Raketa pull out of the game. I thought this was a great story with plenty of twists and turns and defsome up and downs. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
ARC for honest review with no compensation, received from Booksprout
Gunner is book 2 in the K19 Security Solutions series and is another well written, intriguing, twists, turns, edge of your seat, plots a plenty and a standalone book. You will want to read all the books in this series along with the crossover books as they all help build the K19 world of secrets, hot sexy men and women, swoon worthy romance and HEA’s!!
Can’t wait to read the next book in this series!! Awesome series!!
The second book in the K19 Security Solutions series and I am going to be reading the first book again and any that follow this one. K19 Security Specialist Gunner Godet and Zaryana “Raketa” Ivashov’s story had me on the edge of my seat I had to know what was going to happen. A story of suspense, drama, and danger. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The great character and plot development kept me totally glued to my kindle until the turn of the very last page! I was so engrossed in this story that I ended up reading this book in one evening! I look forward to reading more from this author!
Gunner and Raketa are quite the couple and this book is an adventure between the pages. Out of all of the ladies in this series I have to say I am most drawn to Raketa and not just because she is one strong lady, but because when she is with her man she lets her softer side come out and shows that leading the life of an agent hasn’t hardened her.
it was a challenge to figure out all of the foreign names and places but at the same time it is so interesting to be able to visit them through the authors words and descriptions, Loosing yourself in the characters, places and events that take place is why I enjoy reading so much and I hope you are able to find as much pleasure in this book as I have.
A Well written and romantic slow burning story. Finding that Gunner has loved Raketa for years but they worked for different agencies. Gunner and Raketa are stubborn, tough, strong, have big trust issues, and seem almost damaged beyond repair. The work for different agencies that have kept them apart along time. However, she has asked for Gunners help in deflecting from the Russian KGB. You will have love, deflection, lots of suspense, intrigue, and drama in this awesome slow burning romance love story. That is second in this series but can be read as a standalone.

This is a very intense, dramatic and suspenseful read. Gunner and Raketa’s story will keep you on edge as the lot unfolds and their passion heats up! An excellent read in a wonderful series. I’m already looking forward to book #3.
GUNNER is the second book in the K19 series by Heather Slade. It is a story of love, defection, double agents and intrigue. It is a standalone book; however, the story would be more enhanced by reading Razer first. Raketa is a defecting Russian agent/assassin who has a price on her head but is also the daughter of a man wanted by numerous countries. The author does an excellent job of weaving a tale that keeps you guessing until the very end. There are many threads to this story and Ms. Slade manages to tie them together in a tightly knit fashion. While it is fiction, the plot is filled with many agencies that are the enforcers of the world: MI6, CIA, the equivalent of the KGB, just to name a few. Well written and romantic without graphic sex! 5 stars all the way!
