Claiming Felicity by Susan Stoker
4.0
This was not my first Susan Stoker novel, however, this was my first Ace Security novel. Normally I have not had trouble jumping in mid-series when I've read her books since most Stoker novels can be read as standalones. I love that fact that I can decide to read the books in order or jump around if I really fall in love with a secondary character she brings to the forefront. That being said, I found I had a little trouble "catching up" to the backstory that followed Ryder Sinclair into this novel since I had not read the previous Ace Security books. Luckily Susan Stoker is a great writer and doesn't leave us, the reader, hanging from all mystery and wonder what everyone is talking about forever. If you are like me and want to jump into the book/series like I did with book 4, you will eventually find out what baggage Ryder has brought with him and how it affects those closest to him, just know it might take a few chapters and that it doesn't take away from the overall plot of what is happening between Ryder and Felicity.
So, now that I've hopefully explained my 4 star rating, I do want to tell you what I did love about the book. Ryder is the perfect combination of Alpha and sweet male. Protective, yet sensitive. Probably the ultimate male fantasy, but that is why he's perfect, right. Then there was Felicity another combination of tough, part-owner of a gym and then sweet, everyone wants to be her best friend female. The perfect couple you want to hate in real life, but couldn't because they are awesome. Together they have great chemistry and that makes a book very hard to put down.
Felicity "Megan" Jones has been on the run for years. She has become adept at hiding the real her so much that she wonders who that is anymore, but when Ryder Sinclair steps into her world he makes her feel more like herself, her true self, then she has in a very long time. And that is dangerous. Not because she doesn't want to let Ryder in, but because of what he could expose. She can't take that chance on letting someone else close get hurt because of her. Not again.
Ryder "Ace" Sinclair wants to settle down, especially now that he's found his three half brothers. He'd walk away from the hard life he used to live for his family, but even more so he'd do it for Felicity Jones. From the moment he met her he knew she was the woman for him. He also knew she was in trouble. His background as a mercenary rescuing women and children from the dredges of society showed him all the signs of a woman in trouble. He wasn't about to let anything happen to her, not while he was alive to protect her.
Together they can bring Felicity peace and make sure she never has to run again. Together they can find a future surrounded by family and friends if danger take everything they hope and dream for from them first.
