Excellent Series including Hot Romance, Hella plot twists, Action packed, Individual HEAs every book, NO cliffhangers, however reading the whole series gives better background and insight to the whole team. Review per book:
RAZOR Book #1 These guys are the total alpha package.
The suspense and intrigue behind these romances just keeps getting more intense for some very fine, very human superheroes.
The romance was beautiful, even with all the drama surrounding them. I laughed several times at their witty banter, held my breath at some very dicey times and of course let out the biggest happy sigh at the end for Tabon and Avarie. Not a cliffhanger, but there is more to come.
Brilliant writing Ms Slade, just enough of everything to keep me wanting more
GUNNER Book #2 A Sexy Edgy Romance
I 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.
MISTLETOE Book #3 An all inclusive K19 Holiday Season
Loved it! Brought most of the K19 family back together so we could see all the guys with their loves, their families. Their interactions, mostly happy and quite funny, with a ton of emotions.
I want to say this journey is about Aine and Striker. They fell fast and hard, but thru a long distance relationship, now they finally get together, then Striker gets the call.
With so many characters together for the holidays, it encompasses more than just one couple and I totally enjoyed all the catching up.
It also brings us the triangular mess of Mantis, (next book) Alegria and Dutch which now has me waiting impatiently for their story, esp since Mantis is MIA.
Just a great series all the way with twists and turns, romances, action. Each book can be read alone with an HEA, but I think you’ll want the whole series.
MANTIS Book #4 Awesome Action Romance
OMG, you did it again! I loved Mantis. I started reading it and honestly before I knew it, I was at the end and Happy Crying. That was SO sweet. The action, the characters brought in and just everything. You did just enough background explanation for anyone new, which was great for me also.
Truly enjoyed the K19
held my interest
Pros: I like the story lines, the adventure, and the romance.
Cons: Seems like important parts of each couples romantic story gets glossed over. They start our great, but then we’re left missing the important moments. I read the first 3 books in this series, and even that far in, I felt there were too many characters for me to keep up with. Each book is not a stand alone. If you’re going to read, be sure to read them in order!
Great read! I LOVE the fact that the series is one continuous story! I look forward to reading the next series starting with Dutch! Sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride…you won’t be disappointed!
Excellent! Razor, Gunner, Mistletoe, and Mantis is a great box set!
I started with first and really enjoyed it. I will complete the series.
Great read
A Splendid way to Jump into this Series!!
RAZOR – Sensational K19 Security Solutions story – first in series!! **************************
Ex-CIA lethal operative Razor was uncomfortable. About to play groomsman, he is paired with bridesmaid Avarie who has played center stage in each fantasy he has had since the one time he met her.
When Razor is called upon to serve as bodyguard for Ava things heat up:
It wasn’t just that Ava was beautiful, or that her body brought him to his knees, she was funny, and smart, and definitely outpaced him on the run.
As danger escalates, and Ava’s twin is mistaken for Ava, lives and loves are on the line in this spectacular series starter.
The best news is we know each character will receive their own book – can’t wait for more!!
GUNNER – K19 Team Continues to Deliver!! *******************************************
Gunner has seen his teammates find their forever matches, but he has vowed not to fall for a woman again. Raketa “Rocket girl” a Russian assassin is making a deal with the K19 team; information for asylum. Raketa previously has the opportunity to kill Gunner but did not take it. In fact, they’ve had one steamy night which Gunner doesn’t quite remember.
A complicated web of intrigue, family connections, team, and romance swirl as conflicting forces work to achieve their goals.
MISTLETOE – Holiday gatherings and Relationship Updates for the K19 Team!! ********************
If you have read any of the K19 stories you will love this opportunity to catch-up on each relationship, perhaps see some new ones, and see them in a closer and personal light. Of course, they are always on call….
Emotional, heart-warming with a dash of intrigue – the K19 Security group never disappoints!
MANTIS – K19 Exploits and a Love Triangle; an Emotional Story!! ******************************
Mantis and Alegria are soulmates. When Mantis chooses work over Alegria she breaks it off with him. Dutch also loves Alegria and is by her side while she heals from a gunshot wound. Thus, begins this emotional story!!
A roller coaster ride of danger, intrigue, doing what is right and loving someone enough to let them go.
We get pertinent backstory on each main character and are revisited from K19 team members from other books. There is teamwork, humor and complex relationships which will keep you thoroughly engrossed until the final page. An incredible read!
If you love action and suspense you should really check out Heather Slade and this is a great way to do it. I had to wait for each book to come out the first time I read them but now they can be read back to back and for a great price 🙂
This series has a little bit of everything, each book contains a love story with a lot of mystery, intrigue, heroes and villains. Ms Slade keeps you on your toes with trying to guess what is going to happen next.
I have reviewed each of the books in this series below.
RAZOR
First, let me say that this is a cliffhanger. Second, Razor is a freaking great book! The author has created strong characters and the plot is both intricate and suspenseful. The story is not rushed. There are kidnappings, murder and nonstop action. It is entertaining and has the reader sitting on the edge of your seat. There are many twists to this story and even though the book ended with a HFN, I was disappointed that the loose ends were not tied up. You will need to read the next book to continue the story.
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!
Mistletoe is the third book in Heather Slade’s K19 series, and let me tell you, this series is a wild ride! Mistletoe takes place from Thanksgiving through Christmas day and the team is spending the holidays together. Therefore, this book is about Gunner and Zary, Razor and Ava, Aine and Striker, and Dutch, Mantis and Alegria. This one expands on the relationships between couples as well as the K19 team. I will not provide any spoilers, but I will say this. Never be afraid or ashamed to take the opportunity to tell loved ones what they mean to you. I can’t wait for the story of Mantis to be available!
MANTIS
I have read Heather Slade’s K19 series and enjoyed each exceptional book. But this one is the best of the best! Although the story of Mantis, Allegria and Dutch began in previous books, this one can be read as a stand-alone. The author writes enough history of the characters that the plot is never muddied. Two men in love with one woman, throw in a kidnapping or two, secret military operations and the instability of the Middle East, and you have a plot with so many twists and turns that you will not see the end coming. Ms. Slade writes an excellent military romance with plenty meat to sink your teeth into, yet she weaves enough suspense and romance to keep the reader intrigued. In case you can’t tell: I LOVED IT!
In Book 1, from the moment they first met when he was undercover as Quinn’s boss Razor and Ava are attracted to each other. When he is assigned the task of protecting Ava from her criminal father, Razor is worried that his feelings will get in the way of doing his job. But he doesn’t want anyone else protecting the woman he loves.
In Book 2, Gunner Raketa were enemies for years, but he helps he get out of the KGB and United Russia puts a high price on her head. In return, Gunner wants her help taking out criminal mastermind Petrov. 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 to protects Raketa against UR and Petrov while finding a way to be with her forever.
In Book 3, The K19 operatives and their significant others are back together again to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with their loved ones, but it’s not without secret missions and plenty of drama.
In Book 4, there was plenty of suspenseful action as injured Alegria is involved in a car accident and can’t feel her legs, Dutch is kidnapped, and later Alegria is too. I didn’t like how Alegria played both Mantis and Dutch. Yes, she and Mantis broke up, but she shouldn’t have gotten involved with his best friend right afterwards. And Dutch shouldn’t have gone after his best friend’s vulnerable hurting ex-girlfriend.
There was plenty of suspense and sexy romance in these spin offs to the Butler Ranch series.
Book 1, Razor: Was about the team protecting Ava with plenty of action to keep you turning the pages.
Book 2, Gunner: A story about struggles and trust with K19 and plenty other agencies involved.
Book 3, Mistletoe: Full of action and adventure where things have to be worked out between members of the team.
Book 4, Mantis: Each and everyone in this series are all standalone reads. But all filled with enough action and adventures you like to get pulled in on how all are handled.
All well written perfectly paced stories pulling you in from the start.
Razor:
Heather Slade is knocking it out of the park with the K19 Security Solutions partners. She has definitely perfected my favorite type of hero. The scenes between Razor and Ava are written so perfectly that I had to reread some of them.
Gunner:
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 am intrigued by Monk, and I really hope he gets his own story.
Mistletoe:
I loved getting updates on all of the K19 couples & having a glimpse into the developing relationship between Aine and one of the K19 guys. I am eagerly awaiting Mantis! I can’t wait to see how everything works out with Alegria. I also look forward to learning more about Tackle & Halo. This series is so good!!
Mantis:
This love story is different than the others in the series because two members of the K19 team are in love with the same woman. Inevitably, either Mantis or Dutch will be left heartbroken. Heather Slade did a great job handling the situation between the three friends. Mantis is another great addition to this series!
This is the perfect way to get the first four books in this exciting and engaging series with one simple click. Included are: Razor, Gunner, Mistletoe and Mantis. If you are a fan of high energy and emotional reads that offer a perfect balance of thrills and swoons, you won’t want to miss the chance to grab a copy to enjoy. I Like this series so much and am always excited for each new entry. This is my candid review that I am posting of my own accord.
Razor by Heather Slade was a great book with some action a touch of suspense very hot and sexy. I really enjoyed this story it kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next. A well written romance with some really strong, loyal and sexy characters. Razor and Ava have undeniable chemistry.
Gunner was a good story of intrigue suspense and love. 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.
Mistletoe is a great fun and entertaining book with suspense, love of family and some holiday fun. This is a story that has you revisiting some past characters and it has a few surprises.
Mantis is a fantastic story with action, passion, suspense with a whole lot of twists and turns and a bit of heartbreak. A page turner that will keep you hooked until the end. The characters Mantis and Algeria are very exciting and intriguing and toss in a bit of heartbreak.
These are some really great stories that will definitely keep you hooked and wanting more. This is one great box set by Heather Slade you won’t want to miss.

I have read and reviewed these books individually and loved every single one. If you haven’t read them yet, this box set is a great way to begin the K19 Security Solutions Series
Razor:
Since the day they met Tabon ‘Razor’ Sharp and Avarie ‘Ava’ McNamara have wanted each other, things didn’t happen that first night because Razor was on duty protecting Quinn. Now it’s Quinn and Mercer’s wedding and Razor has the desire to see if the same heat is between them as it was a year ago.
That whole scenario gets shot down when he finds he is going to have to become her bodyguard. The reasons for the protection are complex from the start. First though Razor needs to convince Ava to move in with him.
Now there’s something Ava can do that will become very disconcerting to Razor. She can tell when he’s lying, and she really hates when he keeps things from her. The way he knows she’s mad at him is she calls him Razor instead of Tabon.
I loved meeting Razor’s family and more of the guys, some not yet K19 but will be offered spots. It also looks like Razor’s sister has her eye on one of them. Oh and the whales, lots of whales visible from his home on the Oregon coast.
Intrigue, suspense and drama as things heat up in the case that Ava is a witness in. Razor breaks a lot of rules when it comes to Ava because he is in love with her.
Hold your breath action, tears, laughter, romance and sizzle will have you turning the pages to see what happens next.
Gunner:
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.
Mistletoe:
I have fallen in love with this series. I started it out of order and going back has given me insight into the other major characters. In this book we peek into the holidays and as with most families there are some conflicts and some romance and surprises as well.
Gunner, Zary, Razor and Ava are hosting these holidays and their town houses are rapidly filling. So the Inn nearby is also filling with the K19 Crew. So lets see who’s all there, we have Aine and Striker (surprise Gunner), Monk and Saylor, Saylor’s girls, Odette, Gunner’s Mom Madeline, Zary’s Mom Svelana, Ava and Aine’s Mom Peggy, Onyx, Topar and finally Aine’s friends Pen and Tara. At least I think I have everyone covered.
Most of the conflict surrounds Mantis, Dutch and Alegria, and the others all contribute to the happy.
Alegria is recovering from surgery, and even though Mantis is right there beside her, when she sees Dutch she reaches for him. Now the friendship between Mantis and Dutch is in jeopardy.
Unbeknownst to Razor, Gunner has invited Mantis for the holiday festivities. So with Alegria and Dutch coming at Razor’s invite you know things will get interesting.
A mission gone wrong, and many surprises fill this book with page turning fun and action. With a side story about puppies that will have you sniffling.
Mantis:
What a tangled up mess this is, Manon aka Alegria is torn. Originally from France she was accepted to United States Air Force Academy where she met Mantis and Dutch. Her decision to stay in the US was the offer of fighter pilot training and her love of Mantis. Although circumstances had them more apart than together and then Mantis chose a mission over time with her. That was their end.
Now with Alegria still recuperating from a bullet wound in her back, Mantis has been held captive in Somalia. Dutch her current ‘boyfriend’, K19 partner and one of Mantis’ best friends is tasked with retrieving him and the others with him.
Dutch knows he can’t stay with Alegria, she is still very much in love with Mantis. The question is can Mantis and Alegria get over the past and work toward a future.
Dutch is leaving for California to meet up with Doc about another assignment.
We get a look at the past when Dutch, Mantis and Alegria were at the Air Force Academy. But Alegria going with Mantis to his family is a turning point. Her injury and rehabilitation and whether she will be able to fly again all contribute to the emotions in this book.
These two are meant to be together. You will laugh, cry, want to throw the book across the room (but you won’t). The highs, the lows, secrets and everything in between is covered in this book including the sizzle between them.
Don’t miss this series!
