Defending Chloe by Susan Stoker
4.0
This is book 2 in Susan Stoker’s new series Mountain Mercenaries. I have not had a chance to read book 1 but after reading this one I may just have to.
This is the story of Chloe Harris and Ronan Cross. These two meet for the first time when Chloe happen to come knocking on Ro’s secluded mountain home asking to use his phone. Ro is part of a group who defends and protect women and children. What he saw in Chloe was someone who is obviously being abused. When he offers his help, she refuses and leaves. Ever since that meeting Ro has not been able to get Chloe off his mind. When he digs a little, he finds her in a strip joint and again offers his assistance. What ensues is a bit of misunderstandings, suspicions, but slowly into trust and eventually into love.
I knew reading the prologue that this was going to be a difficult journey for Chloe and it was. Her brother is such a horrible human being that at times I was a bit apprehensive of what he was going to put Chloe through. But Chloe was such a woman of strength, she was able to endure. And I loved Ro! His need to protect and defend is so strong with Chloe. He had a hunch that Chloe needed his help and even though it may cause issues with the group, he was all in.
I enjoyed this book quite a bit, I can not wait to find out about the stories of the other members of the team and who this mysterious Rex is and what his story is about.
Thank you Netgalley and Montlake Romance for giving me the opportunity to read this complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
