Publisher's summary

Maxwell "Maxie" Oliver wasn’t looking for trouble. She would have rather remained oblivious. Now that she has information she doesn’t want, a missing coworker, and a scandal on the horizon, Maxie doesn’t think she can remain quiet.

But being a whistleblower comes at a high price, and Maxie isn’t willing to risk her life.

Kit Sexton knows the lengths some people will go to in order to line their pockets. So when Maxie comes to him, looking for someone to keep her safe, he’s determined to see that she stays that way. Especially when he can’t get the gorgeous woman who took his breath away out of his mind.

But the stakes are high, and the criminals are ruthless.

Kit is going to have to stay focused if he wants to make sure that Maxie isn’t permanently silenced.

Maxie and Kit #HarperSecurity. #UnexpectedLove

Silenced: Harper Security Ops, Book 10 by AK Evans is a terrific read that contains a mystery, intrigue, and a slow-burn romance that will singe your kindles or ears when listening to the audiobook. Troy Duran and Addison Barnes read the audiobook. Their voices drip with sensuality as the story unfolds. The audiobook brings the book Silenced to a whole new level of enjoyment.

Special guests from other books make cameos (My Violent Heart #Iamafan!) along with characters from other books. Suspense builds throughout Silenced as two pharmaceuticals are planning a merger. If sensitive information leaks before the merger occurs, it could be detrimental to the two companies as well as impact the public. Maxie was contacted by a co-worker about an issue that could put a kink in their company's upcoming merger. Maxie's life becomes upended when she discovers what her collogue accidentally ran across. Kit, who works at Harper Security, meets Maxi after being attacked during a home invasion that brought her a "whistle-blower" message she's not likely to forget. Kit of Harper's Security becomes assigned to protect Maxie, and their lives change as they get to know one another and uncover a love that lasts forever. A.K. Evans is a reader favorite for romance that always uplifts and highlights uniqueness through her characters with sensitivity.

Maxie and Kip

4 Stars

Silenced was an easy and enjoyable listen with a storyline that kept my attention. As usual there is a light suspense mixed in. Maxie and Kit were both very likable and I loved their easy relationship from the beginning. Although they came up with a fake relationship plan when Kit was on protection duty, they were both in from the start! I do wish we had a little more of the security ops side and action but overall still a book I could enjoy.

Narrations - Addison Barnes and Troy Duran were both great bringing Maxie and Kip's story to life and delivered a smooth narration.

Fantastic Audio!

Book 10 of the Harper Security Series. While these books could be read as standalone, I do recommend reading in order since characters do overlap some.

Maxie is an accountant at a pharmaceutical company, but is quite the introvert in her personal life. She enjoys staying home and keeping to herself. When a coworker asks to speak to her about something, but disappears before they are able to meet up, Maxie gets pulled into the middle of work secrets. Maxie becomes a target and turns to a place she hopes will keep her safe.

Kit, at Harper Security, is determined to make sure Maxie is taken care of and kept safe. Close proximity bring these two closer with each passing day.

Maxie is anxious to visit family without them knowing the details of things that have been going on. Kit isn’t up for leaving her unprotected. Can these two pull off a fake relationship in order to keep her family from learning the truth?

Both narrators did a fantastic job! I could listen to these two together many more times. I highly recommend! I have yet to be disappointed by any of the narrators in this series. Looking forward to book 11!

Harper Security Ops never disappoints!

Maxie's just a regular girl not looking for trouble when a missing co worker brings it right to her doorsteps. Literally. Thrown into a dangerous situation she knew nothing about, Maxie finds herself in danger, kidnapped, and thankful to be alive albeit injured. Her troubles see her rescued by a sweet older couple and delivered to Harper Security Ops, right into the arms of Kit. Their mutual attraction is instant, and just like we know these Harper Security Ops men do, Kit goes right into alpha male protective mode. While things quiet down for a a few weeks the sparks between Maxie and Kit fly and they are soon falling in love. Only danger is still on the horizon and Kit has to protect the woman he loves from a deadly fate. Kit's devotion and protection of Maxie is swoon worthy. Their HEA was perfect for this sweet and sexy couple. I absolutely love Tony Duran and Addison Barnes narrating Kit an Maxie.

captivating from the first words

Captivating from the first words, this story held on to my attention and I didn't want to hit pause! Maxie found herself in the middle of a very dangerous predicament...and when that scenario turns potentially deadly, she finds her way to Harper Security and luckily Kit. Kit finds his way into the role of personal bodyguard as a stepping stone to a more personal role he wants in her life. As these two dance around each other and their mutual attraction, danger continues to lurk in the shadows, striking just when the peace and quiet lulls them into a false sense of security. Then the race is on for Kit and his pals at Harper Security to find Maxie before it's too late. No worries, after some tense moments and suspense, these two get their HEA. Narrators were excellent with bringing the story to life.

Instant Attraction!!

Another great story done by Troy Duran and Addison Barnes! I absolutely love to hear Troy narrate a book and how he takes on the character’s role is just incredible! Addison does just as good! Putting them both together on this one, amazing!!!

Book 10 of the Harper Security Op’s Series by A. K. Evans, Silenced is just as powerful as the books that come before! While these can all be read as individual books and each have their own HEA, you would enjoy them more if you read them in order simply to catch the overlapping characters and their stories!
Silenced brings us Kit and Maxie.
Maxie finds herself in trouble and doesn’t even understand why someone is after her but finding herself being kidnapped from her home and freeing herself, she flags down an older couple that drives her into town, to Harper Security for help.
Kit sees the distraught woman and is instantly drawn to her. Hearing her story, he vows to keep her safe and get to the bottom of the reason she is in danger.

Kit and Maxie has an instant attraction to one another and being surrounded with each other for weeks at a time, only caused it to intensify!

Maxie and Kit's story was great!

Maxie and Kit's story was great! The Harper Security Ops men keep finding women that test their strength in patience, as well as their ability to not be and Alpha hole that demands that they obey their every request.

Maxie is a kind, quiet, woman that keeps to herself and enjoys being alone more than being out in public, but when her life is in danger, her entire world changes and her views on being alone all the time change as well. When Kit steps up and offers to help her, her mind starts to doubt all that she is seeing and she wonders if any of it is real.

Kit is ready for some down time and enjoying the fact that their lives at Harper Security Ops has been quiet and slow, but when he returns with his lunch one afternoon and finds a young woman in need of help, he's all for stepping up and being the Knight in Shining Armor that she needs. Kit is entranced by Maxie and her quirkiness as well as her beauty and crafty knowledge.

I loved this book and can't wait for more stories with the remaining guys that are single. I love the men of Harper Security Ops and the women that they find to protect for life.

Excellent

This is book #10 of the series and you may think the story was stale as a result but you couldn’t be more wrong. The author delivers an outstanding story that should not be skipped for the suspense alone. If you happen to start with this book I recommend going back to book one and start reading for more outstanding stories. The story is just as outstanding in the audible version.

Engaging with likable characters

Maxie/Maxwell Oliver works in accounting for a pharmaceutical company that is about to merge with another pharmaceutical company. She keeps to herself and avoids conflicts . When a co-worker sees some sensitive information that may hinder the merger and Maxie realizes there truly is an issue she believes it needs to be brought up. From that point on, things get dangerous. Her friend disappears and Maxie is attacked and left a message .
To protect her, Harper Security assigns Kit Sexton is assigned to her. Feelings develop, but first, Kit must keep Harper safe.
The plot was engaging and the characters likable. Characters from other stories make an appearance. That said, for those like me that have only listened/read one or two stories, at times I felt I was missing information of the interrelationships.
Still, it was a very entertaining audiobook which was brought to life by Troy Duran and Addison Barnes.
I was entrusted a copy of this audiobook. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
