About this listen
Aria Todd is the new girl in town. She doesn’t mind the title. In fact, she’s thrilled that she’ll have the chance to start over in a place where nobody knows her. Where nobody can get to her. And where her new neighbor has her peeking out her window regularly.
Paxton Fields is Steel Ridge’s resident nice guy. He’s kind to everyone, even the injured and abandoned animals he rescues on occasion.
That’s why he catches Aria’s eye, and the pair explore the chemistry between them.
But Paxton’s big heart is just a small part of who he is. When it’s necessary to be foreboding, he rises to the occasion.
And that’s precisely what happens when he learns that there was a reason for Aria’s recent move to his town. Discovering she’s been coerced from her home, Paxton’s protective instincts kick in.
Escaping her past was her plan, but if Paxton can’t find her, Aria may never get to see her future.

Story
Royce Blackstone has one rule: Never get personally involved with his clients. As the owner of Harper Security Ops, Royce is well aware of everything and everyone inside his building. When he’s about to go in after the biggest lead on latest case that’s landed on his desk, Royce didn’t expect he’d have to abort the mission early. It might have seemed like Tarryn Hendrix was simply looking to learn some new skills, but dedicating two years of her life to training her mind and body is all part of Tarryn’s plan.

Story
Six years ago, Maria Romano got her birthday wish—a kiss from Enzo Costa. A man she could never take her eyes off, but who seemed as haunted as her favorite book boyfriends and strictly off-limits. Just one unforgettable moment in the dark and then he was gone. Now Maria is a divorced single mom, moving on and open to romance again. Fatefully, it’s with the new head chef at her sister’s restaurant: Enzo. A gentler man than the one she remembers, yet fire still burns. And a warning still lingers: don’t get too close.

Humanity is rebuilding after a devastating invasion. But the growing towns all have walls to protect them from the monsters. Created in alien labs, the monsters hide in the swamps, rivers, and forests—breeding, mutating. Every now and then, they crawl out of the shadows. That’s where I come in. I’m Jameson Steele, the leader of Hunter Squad—the toughest group of soldiers in New Sydney. It’s our job to keep people safe and secure.

Until he rescues a half-drowned, beautiful brunette from his river. Gemma Newhouse is the daughter of the richest man in America, and from the abrasions on her wrists and her drugged state, she’s on the run from someone dangerous.

Teddy Hamilton is one of my go-to narrators as is Maxine Mitchell! I don’t think any others would have been able to pull Paxton and Aria off like these two working together. Incredible audio book!
I love how AK Evans gives her books a storyline! I love to read about everyday life with a hint of a twist somewhere in the midst of strangers falling in love and I really love it when the guy falls first!!
Tropes:
• Small town
• Neighbors
• Slow burn
• Alpha male
Paxton is Steele Ridge’s protector of all. He has a heart of gold and wants to protect anything he comes into contact with, in comes his neighbor.
Aria moves to Steele Ridge to get away from her family and have a fresh start in living her life for herself.
Instant attraction brings these two together but will their relationship withstand what comes next when danger shows up?
I can never get enough of this series!
Paxton and Aria!

I absolutely LOVE the addition of all the animals in this book. I think Paxton's love for animals, especially rescues, really just makes you love him even more. He is so patient with Aria even though he knew there was more to her move than she was willing to share.
Another thing that really stuck out to me was how Aria's best friend kept her secret but knew when it was important to share that secret with Paxton. Everyone needs a best friend like that! This story kept me pulled in until the very end.
Even though I knew there would be something big happen eventually, I was not expecting the heartbreaking way things went for Aria in the end. Sometimes the ones we love the most hurt us the deepest and I think so many people can relate to this deeply touching story in one way or another.
A series that just keeps getting better

Aria went through a tough emotional journey with her family, and they were not worthy of all she gave to them over the 5 years she was sacrificing herself for them. When she finally decided to take her life back onto her own hands, and ends up in our favorite small town, Steel Ridge, I was thrilled that Paxton was going to be her guy. She needed a gentle alpha male in her corner that was going to love and cherish her like no other.
If we've learned anything about the men of HSO, it's that they fall fast and hard for their woman, and will stop at nothing to protect them. Paxton lived up to the pedestal I keep these men on and then some. I adored the strong woman that Aria was and was so happy to see her not only get her guy, but one of the good ones.
A.K. Evans is the queen of slow burn but when things get steamy, they get steamy! The storyline and characters are so lovable that we don't need extra spiciness to understand and get their emotional connection.
I will forever love the HSO crew, and always enjoy that we get cameos from other couples and characters in each book. Teddy Hamilton and Maxine Mitchell were fantastic as Paxton & Aria! I love everything they team up on.
Paxton and Aria were utterly loveable!

This time it’s Harper Security Ops operative Paxton Fields who finds love when he least expects it. Paxton is known as the nice guy in the neighborhood always willing to help others. Kind not only humans but also to the stray animals around.
Aria Todd recently moved to town hoping for some anonymity and to have a chance to start over with her life.
A sort of friendship and relationship starts developing between these two and just when things seem to be going great, Aria’s past threatens not only the relationship , but also Aria.
Will Paxton be able to keep Aria safe? Will these two get a chance to have a future, or will the evil that follows Aria end it all?
This was another engaging story filled with good hunky guys, bad guys, suspense and of course, romance.
Narrators Teddy Hamilton and Maxine Mitchell do an excellent job of bringing the story to live.
