Vanished

Harper Security Ops, Book 20

De: A.K. Evans

Narrado por: CJ Mission, Kit Swann

Reagan Stuart is happy being alone. It’s hard to be disappointed if there aren’t any attachments.

Hart Anderson knows that love hurts. He learned it as a kid, he learned it again as a teenager, and he learned it from his time in the military.

Two broken souls, Reagan and Hart are on the same wavelength when it comes to relationships. It’s best to keep what they’ve got between them strictly physical.

But things change. When Hart heads to Reagan’s for a night of fun, she’s gone.

Vanished.

Hart knows that Reagan would never just disappear, and he fears she’s in real trouble. It’s a race against the clock to get her back. And Hart can’t screw this up.

Because even if he told himself she meant nothing to him, he knows it’s a lie. He’s in love, and Reagan’s the one who showed him how good it could be.

4.5 stars!

When they first meet, neither Reagan nor Hart are looking for anything long-term. It's purely physical and they don't share personal details about themselves. But the more time they spend together, the more they need to get to know one another. Except why ruin a good thing? Even as Reagan begins to ask questions, Hart keeps her at arm's length. Maybe it's the nature of his job at Harper Security Ops? But as women in Steel Ridge start to disappear, Hart becomes concerned about Reagan's safety. Those feelings he's trying to tamp down keep wanting to rush out and tell her how he really feels. When Reagan vanishes it takes everything in Hart to be patient and not rush the process of getting her and the other women to safety. But Reagan only sees betrayal.

Kit Swann and CJ Mission really brought this book to life! I felt every emotion that ran through the characters. The moment things changed for Reagan and Hart could be felt as Kit and CJ narrated the story. The nuances in their voices, the tone and inflection, all gave this book the emotions and suspense. Reagan and Hart's story will linger for a while.

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

Reagan & Hart were exceptional!

I am blown away that we're on book 20 of Harper Security Ops, and they just keep getting better and better. Reagan and Hart broke my heart and then pieced it back together. They were both so broken, and had no idea when they started up their purely physical relationship that they were going to come to mean so much to one another, and ultimately heal with each other.

CJ Mission and Kitt Swan were outstanding as Hart & Reagan. Their storytelling will have you loving these characters from the very beginning. The raw emotion and hurt that they portrayed through their storytelling was so raw and honest you will feel it deeply. Outstanding duo to tell this couples story.

Vanished was not the slow burn I've come to love from A.K. Evans, and I loved that it was different. Reagan and Hart started off with a bang, hot and heavy, and swore no attachments or feelings would come from it. How they made it so long without more was surprising because it was obvious the connection they shared from the start. It took Reagan vanishing for Hart to realize just how much she meant to him, and what a wake up call it was.

You know the men of HSO will stop at nothing to protect their woman and Hart proved that to still be true. You can't possibly not fall in love with these men and how hard they love and protect.

It's always great catching up with the HSO family. I don't know what I'm going to do when the series is complete because it's impossible not to be attached to these couples and the family that the HSO team is.

Another incredible story and audiobook from A.K. Evans!

Vanished

I read the book before listening to it and I really enjoyed the story. Usually I end up listening first but this time I felt the performance after reading the book let me think more on the descriptions and what’s happening in the story. Left a review on Amazon on more detail on the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns

Reagan and Hart's story grabbed my attention. You of course knew the arrangement would develop to more, but the way these two were catapulted into facing those feelings of love was crazy. Jolted into instant danger and high suspense, the story became even more as the Harper Security team fight to find Reagan in time. No spoilers, but I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns the story took from there, and although it was was slower than I personally would have liked, they got their happy ending. The narrators brought the characters to life from the pages.

Deserves more than 5 stars!!!

5 stars isn't nearly enough for how much I loved this book. Not only have I read and/or listened to every single HSO book, but I've also read and/or listened to ALL of A.K. Evans series...Vanished is BY FAR my favorite to date. This book was just next level intense on every single emotion possible. CJ Mission and Kit Swann did an exceptional job on the audio. I truly believe they took the story to another level with the emotions they poured into Reagan and Hart's characters.

Reagan and Hart's relationship was truly a special one. Even when they spent a year saying it was only a friends with benefits type of situation, you could feel the relationship blossoming into so much more. Hart shows just how amazing of a person he is when he risks it all just to make sure Reagan was safe. THAT is true love!! These are the only things I want to say about the story itself, as I went into this book pretty much blind and I'm SOOO glad I did. I feel like not knowing what I was walking into really made it even better.
