MY REVIEW.
3.5 Stars from Tiffany!

Something about this one…
In Silenced, A.K. Evans gives readers some romance and some suspense with Kit and Maxie. I’m gonna say, I had a hard time with the name Maxie, it rubbed me the wrong way from the get-go.
Maxie finds herself in a precarious situation at work and just as quickly, finds herself in the arms of Kit, a member of the Harper Security Ops team. Maxie learned some sensitive information about a company merger and when someone goes missing, she’s warned she’s next. Her friend told her about Harper Security and that’s how she meets Kit.
While I have read and enjoyed several of the Harper Security Ops books, there was something about this one that I wasn’t connecting with. I liked Kit and Maxie, however, didn’t feel they had much chemistry. That on top of the insta-love, made the romance part of the storyline does not work for me. That said, I did like the angst with the work situation, even if it was cleared up quickly.
The book is well written and not my cup of tea. I enjoyed that all the previous Harper Ops team members were present and accounted for. Silenced reads well as a standalone.
