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.
REVIEW
Reviewer: Christi
Rating: 4 Groupie Stars
Coerced is the 17th novel in the Harper Ops series by A.K. Evans. This novel is a standalone in the series and while some characters overlap from other books, it is not necessary to read all of the others. (Personally though, I have read all of them in order and it does enhance the story when you know all of the characters and some of the background story.)
Harper Security Ops operates as a self-defense training and tactical training center as well as a security firm with a kidnap and ransom team, which is the unit our MMC works. Paxton, while skilled in his job, is also the neighborhood nice guy and animal rescuer.
Aria is a new resident in town, who is looking for a chance to start over, where her past can't find her. And luckily for her, she happens to have moved in next door to Pax. Cue the cute pets and voila, we have a story.
This novel is well written. Sweet and a little spicy with a protective MMC and a courageous FMC. It was a pretty quick read, but it has a nice plot and doesn’t really feel rushed. If you are a genre person this taps the following: Romantic suspense, military romance, neighbors/friends to lovers, forced proximity
