Incredible Slow Burn

Just when I think there's no way I could love another Harper Ops couple more than the past couples.... along comes Harlow & Blaze. I absolutely loved Harlow's sweet, shy personality. I think she can be related to by many women her age, feeling stuck in the ordinary with no sense of adventure or true living. While joining a dating app may not have gone the way she originally hoped, it led her right to Blaze which turned out to be exactly where she needed to be. And Blaze?! Is he not the PERFECT book boyfriend, ever?? Every woman needs a man like Blaze. He's protective, patient, kind, encouraging, and always up for checking off every item on Harlow's list of "things I've never done" without expectations of where the relationship is going. His gentle, loving personality won Harlow's heart over quicker than he expected, and it was just the most beautiful love story, until danger threatens everything. What is an Evans book without some suspense and action? This whole story was amazing beginning to end, and each book makes me love Harper Ops Security men more and more. This is a series I dread coming to an end. Audio version was OUTSTANDING! The narrators were the perfect pair to bring this story to life.

Blaze and Harlow's story is packed with the sweetn

Blaze and Harlow's story is packed with the sweetness you expect from a Harper Security book. Then you get the action and suspense as harrowing events occur at the end to potentially derail the HEA...but no worries the guys come to the rescue and HEA is finalized. Narration brings the characters to life.

Harlow and Blaze

I loved how Harlow and Blaze met and that they were not in a rush to move things along quickly as they got to know each other first. Add the suspense and seeing the rest of the Harper Security team as they try to find who is targeting them and this made for a great story full of action and love. The narrators did a marvelous job bringing this sweet couple to life.

Blaze and Harlow were so fun and endearing!

A.K. Evan’s delivers yet another great addition to the Harper Security Ops series. I cannot get enough of this series, these men, and the woman they fall fast and hard for. Blaze and Harlow were a great addition to this group. She was so sweet and inexperienced, and not many men would have been as kind and gentle with her as Blaze was. But we know by now that the men of Harper Security are the good ones. It took a crazy person to go against the men of HSO and target their women. There was no way that was going to end well for them. My heart broke for Blaze when he realized it was Harlow that was the “chosen one” for the big take down. When he found her in her shop like that…heart skipped a beat. The way the team jumped into action for Blaze and Harlow shows why this group is unmatched. A.K. Evan’s delivered with this super sweet and a little spicy romantic suspense as sad I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the remaining men standing.

Sweet Romance, Mystery & Intrigue

Sheltered is a sweet romance with some mystery and intrigue thrown in! Harlow and Blaze’s story is so touching. I love their random meeting and the slow burn building of their relationship. Harlow is kind and funny, shy and naive, definitely living a sheltered life. Blaze is the perfect gentleman, willing to go at her pace and respectful of her journey and boundaries whether Harlow realizes what those are or not. The growing intrigue surrounding their story keeps us engaged and guessing, and I love how the narrators build the suspense, connection, and chemistry through their voices and inflection. This was a great audiobook with all the feels!

Must listen

I could relate to Harlow as I’m sure many can – thinking life is passing by and looking for love. She was lucky finding love, but will it last or will someone snuff it out. This is a must read. If you prefer audio, check out JF Harding and Melissa Moran‘s performance.

No longer sheltered!

What happens when you try to make changes in your life?!?!? You might end up in a like Harlow at a date with someone you'd rather not be with. Luckily Blaze was around to step in and make things better. Whew! Harlow's been pretty sheltered; she hasn't dated much or experienced much. However, she decides that Blaze is a good person to come out of her shell with. He's kind, considerate, respectful. That slow burn leading up to the start of their physical relationship was something! Melissa Moran and JF Harding were perfect as Harlow and Blaze. They brought the characters to life and added to the romantic suspense of the story.

I received a complimentary copy of the book at my request and voluntarily left this review.
