When Razor is presented with a mission to protect the woman he can’t seem to get out of his mind, does he agree or tell them no, as his friend Gunner keeps telling him? Of course Razor agrees, no one can protect Ava better than he can. If only he can keep his hands off her as he’s protecting her…
I mostly liked this romantic suspense – 3.5 stars rounded up is fair. Razor and his fellow agents in K19 are all interesting, super alpha men who do their jobs better than anyone else. I had a big problem with Ava, though. I found her annoying and her inner thoughts were ridiculous. Aside from her, though, this is a good story with lots of action, steamy times, and a great cast of secondary characters all lead by Razor, whom I loved. I’m looking forward to more of this series, and hoping the next heroine is better than Ava.
I loved this book. Really well written, great suspense, and a romance that really got me in the feels!
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. I’m so excited about this series, and I can’t wait for Gunner’s story.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary Advance Reader Copy from Booksprout.
This is a great first book in the K19 Security series and a great follow-up to the Butler Ranch stories. We get a better look at Razor and his attraction to Ava. The characters have depth and likeability. I’m looking forward to Gunner’s story and hopefully we will have one for Monk.

This is the first book in a new series spun off the Butler Ranch series. We got to know Razor and Ava as supporting characters in the earlier series, making their romance highly anticipated and well worth waiting for.
Tabon Sharp, nicknamed Razor, is just about the hottest spec ops protector ever, and when he sets his sights on Ava, everything heats up considerably. Then he finds out that she’s the protectee in their newest assignment, giving him ample opportunity to get close to her but also necessitating putting the romance on hold to focus on the various threats against her.
Ava doesn’t quite know what to think of Razor’s sudden interest, and it takes her a while to trust him and take his intentions seriously. Once the obstacles are dealt with, their romance burns fast and hot and has a beautiful HEA. The nail-biting suspense and heart-stopping action keeps the pages turning. I loved going back inside this world, seeing familiar faces, and getting updates on previous couples. It was a lot of fun to read, and I devoured the entire story in one sitting. This is a standalone romance, but enough elements of the good vs. evil case were left open to start the next book in the series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
This is the first book in the K19 Security Systems series, a spin off from the Butler Ranch series, so if you were going through withdrawals and missing the characters you’ve come to know and love, have no fear. Several make an appearance in Razor’s and Ava’s story. The book begins at Mercer’s and Quinn’s wedding, with Tabor “Razor” Sharp and Avarie “Ava” McNamara both part of the bridal party. At first glance, it appears to be an ideal opportunity for Razor and Ava to get reacquainted and perhaps a bit more, but it quickly turns into a threat against Ava’s life. Although it breaks all the rules for an operative to have a personal relationship with his charge, Razor refuses to leave Ava’s side.
Slade is an author I’ve come to rely on for heartfelt romance and adrenaline-filled action and suspense, and she did not disappoint with this one! The exciting storyline and steamy, emotional romance paired with the superior quality and Slade’s gift for writing make her work a joy and delight to experience. I’m always curious to watch a heroine in her twenties develop, and I must confess, I loved Ava. Yes, she went through a wide array of emotions, as anyone in her situation would, and it tickled me that she called Razor by his given name, Tabor, unless she was mad at him – then he was Razor. One of the things I loved most was how she portrayed herself as confident and independent but Razor saw through that to the real Ava.
Razor is a terrific hero, a whole lot alpha, but prone to the occasional misstep when it comes to relationships, and he and Ava were perfect together. My only negative is that I hated to see this book end. I didn’t have nearly enough of these characters and I want more. Their story is thrilling and exciting, sweet and steamy, and emotional and heartwarming, which all adds up to a phenomenally satisfying read. As with the Butler Ranch series, there’s a piece of the storyline that continues beyond this book, and I can’t wait to return to this fantastic book world and these amazing characters in the next book in this series!
A very well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. I cannot wait to get into this series of hot security people. This being book one is about Razor and the team protecting Ava where both Razor and Ava fall in love. The action is real along with strong characters.
First off, I loved the fact that to everyone else they were Ava and Razor, but to each other they were Tabon and Avarie. To me, that was just part of what made this book special. From the moment they met, Razor seemed to know that Ava was it for him, and I always enjoy that in a story line. She was somewhat insecure with herself and her feelings, but he never wavered and stood by her even when she lashed out and was struggling with her feelings. He was a fierce protector. Looking forward to more from this series!

Hot, exciting, and romance. You couldn’t ask for a better book. I’ll be reading the next book in the series.
Don’t usually read from her. So if I like this book I will read more. Cover had me drooling for more.
