“Martin keeps the twists and turns coming in the sensuous and spirited first Maximum Security romantic thriller.… Readers will find it hard to wait for the next book in this tantalizing series about detectives, bodyguards, and bounty hunters.” —Publishers Weekly

New York Times bestselling author Kat Martin raises the tension and the passion when family ambition turns deadly…

Harper Winston’s brother has disappeared. Pursuing his dream of sailing the Caribbean, Michael hasn’t responded to texts or emails in days. When even the Coast Guard can’t find him, Harper is forced to take desperate measures. Which means going to Chase Garrett, once her brother’s best friend, now the only man she can trust…or so she hopes.

As the successful owner of Maximum Security, Chase has learned to trust his gut. He knows Harper’s father is mixed up in a deadly business, and suspects there’s more to Michael’s disappearance than meets the eye. Getting involved again with the Winstons goes against everything he stands for, yet old loyalties die hard. As the case draws him closer to Harper and deeper into the Winstons’ snarled crime family, he is forced to put everything on the line to keep Harper safe…and both of them alive.

Review

Kat Martin is a fast gun when it comes to storytelling, and I love her books.

-- "Linda Lael Miller, New York Times bestselling author"

Narrator Ryan Turner ramps up the voices of the two Texans featured in this romance audiobook...Turner has their commanding tones range from Chase's lower register to Harper's lighter, more feminine tone...The audiobook is enhanced by Turner's delivery of the sweet lilt of the Caribbean Islands and by the Spanish accents of the dangerous Mexican cartel. Listeners will hear how it all turns out in this well-rendered audiobook.

-- "AudioFile"

[A] master of suspenseful romance...Martin doesn't hold back on the page-turning thrills or steamy love scenes.

-- "Publishers Weekly"

[Kat] Martin is a terrific storyteller.

-- "Booklist" --This text refers to the audioCD edition.

DISJOINTED WRITING AT ITS WORST

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

MARTIN NEEDS TO READ A FEW GOOD BOOKS BEFORE TRYING TO COMPETE WITH ANY SUSPENSE AUTHOR. THE FIRST 8 PAGES WERE COMPLETELY FULL OF INCOMPLETE "FEELINGS", THOUGHTS (NONE) AND READ LIKE A VERY BAD MOVIE. NO CONSISTENCY IN STORY WITH WOMAN OUT OF THE BLUE WANTING SEX WITH MAN....WHO WAS NOT OPENLY INTERESTED. THOUGHTS DISJOINTED. LACK OF COMPLETE THOUGHTS ON ANY PAGE. ACTION WAS DONE BY OTHER AUTHORS 8 YEARS AGO AND EVERY DAY SINCE. SHE NEEDS TO READ COES, GREANEY, HOOD OR EVEN BALDACCI FOR THE BEST TO LEARN THESE STEPS. IN ROMANTIC SUSPENSE CYNTHIA EDEN'S TORN SERIES IS BEST EXAMPLE OF GREAT ACTION AND ROMANCE. THIS BOOK A SORRY EXCUSE FOR ANY AUTHOR

Pretty disappointing

Did not like this one at all. If you're into completely implausible, sometimes ridiculous situations and a good bit of random sex, this book is for you. If you're more interested in an actual plot and some believable action, skip this. I think this is part of a series. I won't be reading the rest of them. Bleccchhh...

With good verses evil- good should always triumph.

Chase and Harper, both born wealthy, both good people. Chase came from old money but followed in his mother's family tradition- the military and protection. Harper came from new and illegal money- but having been kept unaware of where her father's money came from. Although the two families' fathers hated each other for years- the strong children still formed strong attractions and friendships despite the hostility. This was well written, engrossing, with multiple suspense throughout. The ending was wrapped up well and very satisfactorily with even a bit of a breath stealing surprise. I do recommend this book and will be reading more.

Bonus book- Wait Until Dark
This is described as a prequel to the series on the single copy page. It definitely came before the first book as there's no mention of Chase's wife Harper, but it's not detailed enough to be a true prequel. It is good, but I'm glad I read it after book 1. Jonah and April have a somewhat insta-attraction but it's easily accepted with the high emotions of her almost being killed multiple times. Like in the first book the female lead- April- is feminine, gorgeous, and very strong willed. And Jonah is the ultimate open-minded, but protective, yummy alpha male. It would've been nice if there was an epilogue but hopefully we'll find out more about their lives in future books. I highly recommend this series and author.

Family loyalty, deadly criminals and romance….

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019

This author has ventured into a new series and I love it. The research and imagination of Ms. Martin makes this book one of the best thrillers I’ve read recently. There are kidnap victims, criminal activity and romance that finds it’s way into their lives. This Maximum Security Agency featured in this series can take on the duties of detectives, bodyguards, skip tracers and the deadly business of mob activity. Michael Winston disappears while on a cruise; his sister, Harper, seeks help to find him; Max Security owners, Chase and Brandon, take on the challenge; and, the adventure begins. If you want heart stopping action and never a dull moment while reading a great book, I can recommend this story. Thanks to this author, I’ve hardly put the book down until I see the final page. It’s a great read!

A other great book and start to a new series for Kat Martin!!!

Other hit for Kat Martin, anyone who has read any of her books know you can't go wrong .
This is other suspenseful, fast moving story about some of the people we meet in her Texas Series,
Harper is looking for her missing brother, knowing something is very wrong. She goes to Chase
head of Maximum Security who use to be her brother's best friend till he got into drugs.
She has always had a crush on Chase but hopes she and he can work together to find Michael.
There is bad blood between her father, Chase's father and Chase himself.
There is lot's of action, danger, twist and turns and or course romance. Everything we love and except for Kat.
Grab and copy and get started, my son bought mine and I loved it, can't wait for the next one.
I was a little surprised that the other two preview books, "Wait until Dark " and After the Sunrise"
both written before this book stories didn't carry over to this one. The man from both our here but the women in both stories are not and the guys seem like they are single ?? That was a little disappointing.

Riveting story with intriguing characters

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020

A relevant story about a despicable drug lord involved in much more heinous crimes. His exploits have serious consequences on his family and it’s Maximum Security to the rescue. There are some interesting and unexpected relationships revealed in Ms. Martin’s romantic suspense as it unfolds from Texas to the Caribbean and on to Colombia before landing back in Texas. This is Chase and Harper’s story as the start of an interesting and entertaining series.
