Can Declan keep her safe, or will they sever the ties between them forever? 3.5 Heart Review by Ashley After catching the blurb for And Then We Sever, I knew it would be my first read from A.V. Asher. This one was go go go from the start and didn't let up until the end. I liked Cressida. She was smart and willing to do what it took to get the job done. She knew when to hold her tongue and when not to back down from a challenge. The one thing she could never quite figure out though were her feelings for Declan. Oh that Declan. He kept things close to the vest, especially his feelings for Cressida. But when a job takes a dangerous turn that puts her in the cross hairs, all bets were off. I loved seeing his protective side. How he stood beside her and fought with her to get to the bottom of and stop things. While Cressida and Declan's high on danger, low-ish on drama, friends-to-lovers, workplace romance was a hair predictable, my heart was still racing while everything hung in the balance. I couldn't read those final few chapters fast enough to see how everything played out.
