Loved

I first read the mountain mercenaries series. So I really liked this book. The writing style is a little different from the first three, but we still get a great story. The wrap up we get in the epilogue was interesting, I was surprised knowing that there is another book as this one. But I still enjoyed it.
Loved Ace and Felicity.

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Felicity gets her HEA

Finally!! We got to see Felicity’s story. Honestly, I’ve been waiting for this since her appearance in the first of the Ace Security series.

Tough as nails Felicity finally meets an Anderson brother who can keep her safe and let her hold on to the life she’s built after a terrible explain college that has had her on the run for ten years. Ryder was a little less complex than the other men in Susan Stokers world but a badass none the less.

I’m a huge Susan Stoker fan and wait (not so) patiently for her books to be released. I loved how we got to meet some of the men from her next series and I’m hoping that Cole gets his own book soon.

I thoroughly enjoyed this mix of romantic suspense, drama and steam, all mixed into one well written and engaging story. Felicity(/Megan) and Ryder are both nicely rounded, likeable and best of all believable characters.

I wasn't too keen on Ryder's 'insta-love' declaration, but this was balanced nicely by the author allowing the relationship between Ryder and Felicity to develop naturally. This is a little slow-burn, which really suited the story line, though the pair had intense chemistry from the outset. Their pairing was sexily sweet and Ryder's loving intensity was enough to make you melt. I adored that Felicity wasn't like the 'stupid girls' in horror films, mindlessly running into danger. No, that girl had survived 10 years on the run from a psychopath and wasn't about to deliberately put herself in the path of danger.

The plot loops and turns with some very surprising twists thrown in for good measure. The last chapter and epilogue nicely rounded off the Ace line of books but also opened the door for several other stories to emerge from this. I also loved that little nod to Roman “Chief” Proudfit (from Shelter for Sophie) and wondered if there's a story for Maria in the ether.

I was lucky to have an early read of this one.
Ryder and Felicity are a great couple, plenty of action, drama and imminent romance. When the book got to almost half way and I was teary, then I was really invested in the story. By the end tears were running down my face, were they happy tears though? You'll have to read to find out, I can tell you my heart was in my throat for a while.
A new offshoot series coming from this one sounds intriguing.
