When love cuts like a knife...

K19 Security Solutions Partner Tabon Razor Sharp has seen his fair share of tragedy, but one thing is for certain: He never forgets a face. Agreeing to be his buddy's groomsman means he'll once again reunite with the enchanting and gorgeous Ava McNamara. Unable to finish what they started last time, he's more than ready to reignite the spark with Ava.

But the wedding brings on more than he bargained for. Meeting Ava's father throws a wrench into his plans. Her father isn't who he claims to be. And Razor is determined to uncover all the facts. Torn between exposing a criminal and protecting Ava, he struggles between duty and desire. Now, it's up to Razor to protect the woman with the haunted eyes even if it means destroying everything she's ever known. Will they recover from the truth or will Razor's cut wound her too deeply?

While each book in the “K19 Security Solutions” series is a stand-alone with its own HEA, they may be more enjoyable listened to in order.

Razor's Edge is the first book in the “K19 Security Solutions” series. Even though the synopsis said it can be a stand alone, it really doesn't work very well that way.  It is the first in a series, but there are so many characters from a different series (Butler Ranch) that show up in this one. I kind of felt like I was missing important information. They kept making references to things that happened in the past and I really needed more context. So I'm seeking out the first book in the reading order suggested on the author's website (Brodie's Promise).

I did really like Razor. However, Ava drove me crazy.  She was so insecure.  How many times did the guy have to tell her he was into her before she believed it?  Especially for someone who practically raised herself.  She didn't seem very confident or independent.  I'm not sure I was completely sold on their relationship at the end. Still, I liked this one enough to read the next one and to start at the beginning. I listened to the audiobook and the dual narrators really worked well.
