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
This is not your typical Security Consultant book. There are some similarities sure, HOT guy, cute gal in trouble but for me thats where it ended.
The twists and turns of Halo “Knox” and Tara’s story keep you glued to the end of the book. We go from plane crash, to disappearing girl, to international travel, kidnapping… well you can see what I mean. So many paths the story can take and yet right up to the last 5 pages you are on the fence with the ending.
Heather has written a masterful story set predominantly in wine country in Italy. Historical references as well as Italian culture run throughout the pages. She has weaved together a series of books, this is #8, with a cast of returning friends and family, along with adding new characters who quickly become people you want Heather to write the next book on!
Buy it, read it…..you won’t be disappointed.

Devilishly Good Romance
After having defied death, both Halo and Tackle decide to embrace life and go for the gusto, as they now knew only too well, life could be short.
Halo then gets asked by K19, namely Striker, to locate Tara, a close friend to some of the K19 wives who’s been missing since Thanksgiving, the same day as his near fatal crash. He ends up at a vineyard in Italy literally running into Tara quite by accident. They get along famously, considering all the lies they’re forced to tell each other. I was totally intrigued and ecstatic they cleared through that muck really rather well, and fast. I felt their characters and attraction come alive through the pages, their connection was beautiful, until it wasn’t.
What I didn’t see coming, and playing such a huge part, well … you’d have to read it to believe it.
Ms. Slade is quite renowned for twisties, zingers, and holy frick I didn’t see that comings, that flow so seamlessly into an angsty, suspenseful, action packed, hot, and often humorous, unforgettable Romance! This did not disappoint–well written, great characters, and unique storyline!
This is a stand-alone with it’s own incredible HEA. However, the goodness is even better because there are cameo appearances of the K19 Hotties and their loved ones. It’s not necessary to read them before reading Halo, just more to enjoy with all those hunky alpha heroes, the sassy beautiful women, and their own thrilling action filled journeys.
Be careful what you wish for!
Halo knows better than to tempt fate, she has a way of bringing you to your knees and she doesn’t disappoint on this mission either. Nothing is as it seems and no-one is who they say they are, watching Halo work through this puzzle whilst he tries not to lose his heart is funny, frustrating, sad and sexy, a great read.
Book 9, Tackle is out on Thursday…there are going to be some serious fireworks when Halo realises what Tackle has been hiding from him! Eeeek! I cannot wait!
I read this series on Kindle Unlimited.
This was an ok book. I have not read the other books in the series prior to this one and it would have helped a lot if I did. There were also A LOT of back ground characters involved and also a lot was happening in the background that seems to go no where.
The storyline grab me right from the start to the last
word.
Plenty of depth and great characters that have chemistry and interaction
between them.

Heather Slade does it again delivering yet another book I just couldn’t put down! Although a standalone HEA, Halo features characters from other of the K19 series as well as Butler Ranch & MI6. All equally amazing and well worth reading. Full of adventure, mystery, intrigue and danger, bonds of friendship, and off course entangled romance!

I wasn’t lost at all when I started reading this book but the other series that has familiar characters adds so much depth that it was another glorious read for me. The characters are fabulous. The writing fluid. The chemistry off the charts. Wonderful story.
I’m not a reviewer that rehashes the plot, if you’re reading the reviews you know what the book is about. I’ll tell you what I like (or don’t) about the book. Halo and Tara have a lot to figure out and work through. The story moves at a good pace, the interactions are engaging, and the characters themselves are likeable. This book is part of a series, but you do not need to have read the others to read this one, it is a complete stand-alone. There are recurring/crossover characters but each has enough history revealed when they enter that you don’t need to know their whole story to understand and enjoy their presence in this book. This is another great read by Heather Slade.
Another fast paced adventure story from Heather Slade. Packed with intrigue and mystery, danger and excitement. As always from this author I expect and get multidimensional characters that are “real” and when forced together they respond by upping their game.
4.5 Stars
This is book 8 in the K-19 Security Solutions series and it features Halo and Tara. When you escape death, it makes you want to grab onto life with both hands. Halo was given the job of finding Tara Emsworth, who disappeared. She’s a best friend to the K-19 wives. When he finds her, he has one of those “she’s the one” moments but will he see the truth through all the lies?
This is a great story line with fantastic characters. The action and suspense kept me attached to my E reader. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book in this amazing series.

A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. Another mission the team is asked to handle. Full of action and more about Halo and Tara and the rest of the group. Another kidnapping in this and surprises to keep you turning the pages.
Tara is a character we had already met in the K19 series. A close friend to Aine, she had been kidnapped along with her a year before this story starts.
Tara was with Aine and her other friends when her father went missing. Returning to look for him she vanishes the following day. K19,, working together with the CIA, sends Halo to look for her, so that she may lead them to her father. What Halo did not count on was an instant attraction and the need to protect her.
Like the other stories, thrilling, exhilarating and really entertaining. The story weaves old and new faces together and blends in with other stories of Ms. Slade.

This is the 5th book I’ve read written by Heather Slade; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the characters.

One of the things I really love about Heather’s books is the way they intertwine with her other series. In this book, the vineyard owner Pia is someone I remember from ‘Grinded’ book 3 in the Invincibles series. It seems Pia can be quite the matchmaker.
Tara is feeling left out and is more than irritated with her friends. It was bad enough when her credit card was declined and Pen bought her plane ticket, but now she is discovering her father is being investigated and her friends think she’s ‘on’ something. At her request, Quinn arranges for her to return home to NY.
Halo and Tackle are best friends and are currently considering joining K19, when a mission comes up they both jump on it, not realizing everything was about to go FUBAR. We met Onyx their pilot in ‘Dutch’ and in ‘Striker’ we see Onyx and meet Corazón there too.
Now back to Tara, when she lands she gets a call from her father’s secretary Vi. She meet with her at her father’s apartment and the next thing she knows, she has a new identity, cash and is on her way to Europe. Essentially, like her father, Tara has just vanished.
K19 gets involved to find her father, but to this crew Tara is most important. Quinn, Ava, Aine and Penelope are worried out of their minds. This becomes Halo’s mission as he travels to Italy.
Ironically runs he into Tara almost immediately at Valentini’s tasting room. Apparently she will be working there and is now being encouraged by the owner Pia to tour other vineyards.
Halo is enthralled by Tara and wants nothing more than to begin a serious relationship. However, when things turn to the art world and forgeries, she becomes a prime suspect in her father’s problems.
I truly felt like I was touring with Tara and Halo, Tuscany is so beautiful and came to life on these pages. Their relationship is one full of ups and downs, simmer to sizzle and back again.
So many surprises, lots of intrigue and suspense and hair-raising action.
I can’t wait to read the next book in this series, ‘Tackle’.
