Salvaged

Harper Security Ops, Book 9

De: A.K. Evans

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Maxine Mitchell

When Maren Casey’s best friend was kidnapped and held for ransom, one name came to mind. She just wasn’t sure her high school sweetheart would want to see her again, not after the way things ended between them.

But Maren would endure anything to save her friend.

Magnus McCoy would have been okay with forgetting that Maren ever existed. Unfortunately, when she shows up at Harper Security Ops looking for his help, he can’t pretend the woman doesn’t still have a hold on his heart.

Magnus does what he does best and rescues Maren’s friend. She owes him a debt of gratitude, but Magnus is only interested in one thing. He wants their relationship salvaged.

But foiling the kidnappers’ ransom attempt only made them angry. And the next time they strike, they have their sights set on Maren.

Another great Harper Security story!

I'm not going to give spoilers, but I want to say I really enjoyed this reading. The voice actors really brought the characters out of the 2 dimensional book in to 3d real life! The storyline is pure A.K. Evans: second chance romance, and the heroine gets herself in trouble by trusting the wrong person. And our hero must rescue her. But I felt like the hero should have made her work a bit harder to get his trust back as part of the second chance romance, but I did enjoy the story. It's always a comfort to visit a storyline where the characters are as familiar as your own family, and see where the author takes story and how the plot lines interact. I love audiobooks because I travel around for work, and always have an audiobook playing. I did get an ARC of this Audiobook, but I purchased the ebook version.

Magnus and Maren are Perfect!!!

Oh my gosh! I knew Magnus would have an amazing story and this is perfect for him! Connor Crais and Maxine Mitchell were phenomenal as Magnus and Maren! Connor has an incredible voice and him being Magnus chills my skin and Maxine is perfect for Maren!

Book 9 of Harper Security Ops gives us a look into Magnus and just how strong and hard this tough Alpha male can love someone!

Magnus and Maren were high school sweethearts and Magnus knew she was his forever love but Maren made a decision that left him devastated and he vowed to never give that kind of love and power to anyone else. He didn’t expect to come face to face with her again but 15 years later….

Maren’s best friend was kidnapped and she went to the one person that she knew could help. She didn’t realize how much pain she caused him or how much anger he still held on to. She now thinks coming to him for help was not the best decision.

Magnus realizes he still loves her just as much now as 15 years ago but can he get past the pain that she caused him? Can they salvage the relationship they had years ago and rebuild a solid foundation again and continue building to it?

This book broke my heart but healed it back for both of these characters!

Second chance done right!

Now this is how you do a second chance love story!!!!!

This story pulled me in instantly and would not let me go. It had all the elements I love. It had the angst, it had heartbreak, it had second chance love, it had so much to swoon over and I could not get enough. I loved the high school flashbacks to understand how the love started and where it all began. It was when Maren came back into Magnus' life that things heated up and he realized he didn't wanted to lose her again that all the fun began. There was sweet and spice and times you even were furious with one of the characters but it was all worth the ride. You will really enjoy Salvaged, I know I did!!! And with the added bonus of Connor Crais and Maxine Mitchell you know it's a hit!

Love second chances

I just love second chances!!! Well written, and I love how it involves people from past books and that we sometimes get to meet at least one of the characters in an earlier book.. first time I listened to a book, and I have to say it was different but made it easier to pass time while washing dishes..

Second chances are sometimes worth the wait.

Second chances exist for a reason, but can Magnus and Maren overcome their past and put aside the hurt to make a life together? Magnus wants a second chance with Maren, but he wants answers too. Will Maren give him what he wants on both counts? They are both hurt by their past, but want to put aside the past and look to the future where they have the life they talked about.

Maren wanted to be close to Magnus even though she was the one that ended their relationship when they were younger. She knows she was young and didn't know how to deal with her hurt and selfishness, but now she's older and she's never forgotten about Magnus. When she best friend is in trouble, Maren knows there's only one person that she can turn to for help, but will he be able to put aside their past to help her now?

Magnus hasn't been able to move on from Maren even though their relationship ended fifteen years ago. He will never commit to another woman ever. His heart still belongs to Maren even if he is angry at her and she broke him. When he walks into work and his sister seems to be upset, he isn't prepared for what he's going to find in the conference room. However, he is a professional and he still wants Maren, so maybe this will work out in his favor.

I enjoyed this story and I've loved the books in this series from the start. I love A.K. Evans' characters and her books, they always take me on a wonderful ride while reading them, and each one is better than the last. I look forward to more of the Harper Security Ops books to come. The narrators were great and they did a great job with the dual POV and telling the story. I give this book a 5 - star review.
