Book 7 of 7: Corps Security

See all formats and editions

There’s a price to pay for a life with a greater purpose. The healing of time is a damn liar when you’re living a life as a dead man with no true home, and the silence couldn’t be more deafening. Counting the days, good and bad, I exist as the world keeps spinning. I can never look back. All I can do is hope I took enough out of that life to carry me forward on those dead legs. Everything that was meant to give the tragedy of my life meaning ended up holding me prisoner in this wreckage of my past.

Until now.

One look into her eyes and I’m completely disarmed. It’s only everything I thought I gave up. These walls I’ve built to protect and shroud me crumble more whenever she’s near. I’ve spent years waiting for a reason to breathe again, and now that I have her within reach, I’m not sure I can keep her. Is it possible to find both the missing piece of my soul and the remedy to my healing in one set of bright green eyes? EverythingI thought I would never have is staring back at me saying … yes, I can.

Welcome Home

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2023

Olivia owns and runs an eclectic coffee shop, and as you might expect, that’s a role that comes with lots of regular interactions, with lots of regular people, and also a few that stand out from the rest.

One standout is the grizzled old man, a vet from the Korean war, who whiles away his afternoons in the store, another is the mountain of a man with the striking green eyes who rarely speaks a word that couldn’t be distinguished from a grunt.

Threre’s also the three friends who occasionally accompany him, but it’s the one they call Drew that always leaves Olivia more than a little flustered.

Other than that he drinks coffee, there’s almost nothing that she actually “knows” about him, but after three years of almost daily, if limited, interactions with the tall, built, slightly older man, she’s fairly sure she’s guessed a few things.

Their barely existing relationship takes a pivotal turn though when, again almost wordlessly, the familiar stranger insists on walking Olivia and her irrepressible five-year-old niece to and from work each day.

There’s an awful lot I could spoil about this book, but I’m going to try not to. It’s labelled as book seven in Harper Sloan’s Corps Security series, and there are good reasons for that, but chronologically, it’s set over twenty years after book six, and after the already published books in the Hope Town series, the second-generation series that is spun off from the CS books.

Thematically though, it very much has the vibe of the earlier books in the series, or even of Kristen Ashley’s Rock Chick series, with strong women characters and the even stronger alpha males that drive them crazy and, in turn, make them swoon. There’s the smoldering sexual tension right from the start, and an ominous undercurrent of danger, and yet throughout there’s a sense of family that ties both groups of new characters together, and ultimately ties both groups to established characters.

As a long time reader of Harper’s books, this one was entirely unexpected and simultaneously was a long time coming, yet getting lost in the pages felt very much like coming home.

A sucker for well written child characters who effortlessly complicate burgeoning relationships I was spellbound right from the start long before I worked out how these new characters tied in with the larger world of Harper’s other works, and while I’d certainly recommend reading the other Corps Security books, and even the Hope Town books before this one, I imagine it would read well regardless.

So worth the wait

Read in March 2023
I read Corps Security many years ago and I still remember Asher and everyone's pain at the death of Coop, I waited patiently to get the rest of his story and boy! Was that wait worth it. This poor man locked his feelings and life uptight for 20 years, it's a little sprite of a woman in danger and the adorable little niece that starts to melt the ice. He was tasked with keeping them safe and taking out the threat, never expecting anything else to come from this mission. I can honestly say this was everything I could hope for and way beyond, emotional in highs and lows, sweet and loving. It shows the raw pain and vulnerability of a man who sacrificed his family to keep them safe and the awakening vulnerability he faces as his heart becomes once more at risk. It also shows the trust, love and understanding from a woman who herself lost her closest family member but gained a niece. Riley is definitely the biggest star of this show, her trust and instant love, her boundless energy and an understanding way older than her 5 years, her take no prisoners attitude of I claim you, you are mine with her gentle giant made me smile. This is powerful in so many ways, there is suspense in various forms and some excitement. Also some surprises but most of all it has a happy ever after. The family be it blood or not stand together. Thankyou to Harper for managing to write this story, it was one most of her readers have wanted and needed, it was important to us as we invested as much in Zeke Cooper as we did the rest of the characters in Corps and Hope Town. I loved every freaking word of this book💖📖

Love this series!

This an amazing series, and I loved this story so much. 'Drew' has been through so much and is truly living as a ghost. I loved how Olivia and Riley brought him into the light and breathed life back into him. It was a very emotional journey, and I loved every word.

While I loved this one, I didn’t need it. In my heart the story we had already known was enough. We did not need this one. As much as the family went through, I thought there should have been some conversations about what happened. A visit to Hope Town would have been fine, we didn’t need it this way. Am I glad we got it? Yes, “Drew” deserved his girls. Riley was a pistol.

This book, this book has left me speechless, tongue tied, flabbergasted, on an emotional roller-coaster!!! It's absolutely amazing beautiful perfection!!! And it means our girl Harper Sloan is back and better than ever before!!! But this book was absolutely perfection in every way possible!!! Like also can it also be perfectly named too because it seemed it took her a long way to get back home and can I say welcome back baby!!! This is exactly where you belong because this book, oh my goodness this book was so amazing that I can't even put into words what it did to me. Like it put back pieces of my soul that I didn't even know I was missing. Like this book made my heart so happy. I mean it made my heart hurt in so many ways but for the most part it made my heart happier than its been in a long time. Guy's Harper is back and I can't wait for her to start putting books out again because I have missed her beautiful words so much!!! I can't say anything else about this book because I don't want to give any secrets away. But I wish I could give this book 1,000 Stars because it deserves it!!! I highly highly recommend it but make sure you have read the Corps Security books first!!! - By Tina

Ok so this book was just everything!! Everything I didn’t know I needed and everything I missed so much about the gift of words from our beloved Harper ❤️
Going back into the Corps Security world was like coming home again! This series was one of the first I read when it came out and I loved every word. To say that I loved Drew and Olivia would be an understatement! Their love was unconditional and held no BS just the way love should be. Then the little ray of sunshine Riley stole my heart ❤️ This story was so well written with just enough angst and scorching heat to make it incredible.
I am so thankful Harper is back blessing us with her beautiful words! I can’t wait for more ❤️❤️❤️

Interesting story, layered characters, deep conversations. From start to the end a completely captivating book. The missing 5th star is for the too perfect Livi.
Really worth the reading!

What a great read from Harper. Olivia and Drew fighting an attraction so strong they cannot stop. A sassy adorable niece . A shadow of a man who feels compelled to protect this woman and child.

The Corps Security series had been a favourite of mine over the years and this addition fits right in. Lots of heartache, drama, humour at times but most of all love. Perfect finale to the series.

I can't express how wonderful this book was. The Corps Security series was one of the first series I read on my Kindle in 2015. I was so devastated when Coop died in the series. I'm so grateful for this book. Thank you for giving us his story. It was gut wrenching but so beautiful. Coop, Olivia & little Riley were wonderful characters. I loved it.
