Her safety.

Jake Burns was taken with Brynn the moment she walked through the door. The woman’s beautiful figure is beyond impressive, but it’s her determination to keep herself protected that he’s most attracted to. He’s never met anyone as driven and focused as her.

Well Written and Narrated Story

I adored this novel so much! All the good feels here. Brynn and Jake were so wonderful. I loved Brynn's maturity as she helped Jake navigate his feelings about his brother's death when he was a teenager as Jake helped Brynn learn self defense moves after she was approached by some guys who knew her from her online fitness videos. So many touching moments that brought tears to my eyes and the epilogue ended in such a poignant way. The narrators were awesome and brought this book to life in ways reading it silently never can.

The story was read in such a way one could imagine being a part of the book.

Yes please!!

One of my favorite things is when a woman stands up and takes care of business, but also knows when to be taken care of too. It was nice to see the connection between Brynn and Jake. I think Stephen Dexter has to be my favorite to listen too!!

Brynn & Jake's story is full of adventure, emotion

Brynn and Jake's story is full of adventure, emotion, and love. One of the things I really liked was how much the two had in common, which helped them build their relationship with adventures they both enjoyed. There is also a tragic story in the past, that will pull at your heart strings and takes the characters on an emotional ride as those old wounds are healed through new love. The narration was great at bringing the story to life.

Intention may be my favorite HSO couple yet!

Brynn and Jake couldn't have been more perfect for each other! Their relationship was truly swoon worthy. He may have saved her when her life was in danger but, for all intents and purposes, she really saved him. Brynn was a bada$$ "angel" FMC that healed all the broken parts of Jake. Jake was the badda$$ "big guy" on the outside, but a broken man on the inside that never healed from losing his brother and ultimately his family when he was younger. Brynn found herself at Harper Security Ops when her online presence started to se her being recognized in public and she needed to be able to protect herself. Jake ended up being her trainer and their attraction was instantaneous. They fall hard and fast for each other, although I would argue he fell first. I really enjoyed getting a glimpse of all the other Harper Security Ops couples in this installment as well. Another fantastic book from AK Evans!

Harper Security Keeps Getting Better With Book 12

A.K. Evans’s Harper Security Ops series just gets better and better with Book 12, “Intention.” Jake is a beautiful broken soul who is as hot as they come. Brynn is the confident friend we want in our crew - gorgeous, strong, and independent, yet smart enough to see that Jake could be her forever if he lets her. Such a great story to add to the collection—steamy, a bit suspenseful, relatable characters, and all the good stuff I love and have come to expect in an A.K. Evans novel, this one is a gem! The plot in this one is really well developed as well! And I can’t wait to get my hands on the audiobook because I have a feeling some of those scenes will wreck me! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! UPDATE: I was so right about the audiobook! Stephen Dexter and Maxine Mitchell. Oh. My. WOW!!! These two nailed it as Jake and Brynn, and man…ugly crying in scenes that I already knew were coming. The narrators packed a huge punch into some truly touching scenes.

where can I find an ops of my own!?!?

Where can I find a real life Harper Security Ops?!?!? Brynn Allen wanted to be proactive about keeping safe and being able to defend herself. Enter Harper Security Ops and Jake Burns. The attraction between the two characters was instantaneous. I mean, what's not to like?!?!? They were smitten with each other from first meet. I like how the author can write books in the same genre and tropes, and keep the stories fresh. Casting Maxine Mitchell and Stephen Dexter as the female and male leads was amazing. They brought the characters' personalities out and gave them some kind of multidimensional realness.

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