Defending Allye by Susan Stoker

5.0

Grayson “Gray” Rogers has a boss that reminds me of Charles Townsend. He also gives me my first and second shiver moments. But with the second I have to add an “oh gawd! Plus I had to close my eyes because it was not hard to picture the scene as it played out. Allye Martin is in a very sticky situation. Their first meeting was perfect because it shows the type of man Gray is and that Allye’s not some “dumb blond” character.

From there the story got addicting and very difficult to put down. I liked where this story was going so I can’t wait to see what the author’s plans for the rest of the series are going to be. Each scene seemed to connect to the next, which made everything progress nicely. Nothing felt rushed or out of place. There’s a lot of emotion here and at times it may practically scream at you. Speaking of screams, my next shiver moment is when our “villain” lets us see him. As you get to know him you’ll realize how creepy he really is.

My shiver moments may be triggers for some of you. Especially when you see the violence and what treatment some of the characters receive. Because of the way the author treated this, I ended up having to read this in one sitting. If you do take a chance and read this you may end up with a smile on your face like me when you see how the author treats the ending. And speaking of treats, the ending will give you hints as to the next book in the Mountain Mercenaries series. I’m so ready for book two but not sure if I can wait until December though.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
