When forced to make an impossible choice, which do you choose: your life or your freedom?

Harper Davis was faced with that exact challenge on the fateful day when she stumbled into the wrong place at the wrong time.

Her only hope at escaping the monsters now hunting her?
Liam King, one of Auckland’s most notorious criminals.
Cold. Ruthless. Deadly.

The one thing she hadn’t anticipated when being shoved into the back of Liam’s car was the irresistible pull to the man who could just as easily kill her as kiss her.

Can Harper keep her heart safe while under Liam’s protection, or will she lose more than just her freedom?

Love this new start of a series!

Liam jumps straight into the story with our FMC Harper finding herself in a bit of trouble and her potential love interest being the one to help her. I loved Harper's snarky inner monolog and the banter between her and Liam. The story had a steady pace, a bit of steam, and was perfect for an evening read. I can't wait to see what happens next with the Auckland Kings!

I love this author and working on reading all of her books. I did enjoy this one, but it didn't grab me like her other books.

Macey is one of my favorite authors. Her characters and storytelling skills are brilliant. That being said this book wasn't something I was really into. Of course that's on me not the author. I prefer the suspense and anticipation of the story being drawn out and in a standalone you don't get that. These characters and storyline are still amazing though so it's worth the read just not my preference.

A.J. Macey has once again created another story that I completely fell in love with. This story was fast-paced and the characters Liam and Harper have become my favorite M/F couple that I have read in a while. I am excited to see what A.J. Macey has in store for the rest of The Auckland Kings Crime trilogy.

Fast-paced, exciting + steamy romance

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2021

This is the first non-RH book I’ve read from A.J. Macey and it definitely won’t be the last. Liam was a quick read, really fast paced and gets right down to business. I loved Harper’s sassy attitude and her ability to take care of herself when she needed to, not giving up but working to get herself out of questionable situations. Liam, even though he’s the youngest King brother, proves himself to not only be decisive and headstrong, but also protective of what is his. He chose to continue helping Harper even after he could have left her to deal with things on her own, showing his heart from the very beginning.

I really enjoyed this book - it’s well written and sassy, but couldn’t quite give it 5 stars. The connection between Liam and Harper was definitely lust at first sight, but I wanted a little more substance to their relationship built throughout the book. They only had one conversation in the book about themselves (after days together) and it just didn’t feel like enough to support their ongoing relationship.

Looking forward to Hunter next and hoping for more Harper and Liam appearances/continuations of their story as part of his book!

Hello Auckland Kings

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2021

Going from nailing a job interview to being surrounded by a mob family, that's how Harper's day went... how about yours lol.

When harper witnesses a murder she winds up with the Auckland crime family...specifically Liam. While trying to keep her safe sparks along with a whole lot of sass happen that maybe the youngest king brother wasn't ready for.

I really enjoyed Harper in this story. She was surrounded by killers but she didn't not back down. Yeah sometimes she might have had to take it till you make it or pull up her big girl panties but either way should didn't back down. It was quite refreshing...even more so since Liam loved it.

I'm excited to learn more about this family keep them coming.
