Publisher's Summary

Protection leads to passion in New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker’s dangerously hot Mountain Mercenaries adventure.

Dispatched to the Dominican Republic to rescue a kidnapped child, former Navy SEAL Archer “Arrow” Kane makes a startling discovery: another hostage - Morgan Byrd, a very beautiful and very well-known missing person who disappeared off the streets of Atlanta a year ago. She’s brave, resilient, and unbroken. All Arrow wants to know is why she ended up in a shack in Santo Domingo. All he feels is the desire to protect.

Morgan is done being the victim and is determined to find out who hates her so much that they want her gone - but not dead. Until then, she has Arrow, an alpha stranger who’s offering a warm and safe place to hide. But as the passion between them flares, so does the fear that whoever took Morgan will do anything to get her back. For Arrow, protecting this woman with a mysterious enemy is the most dangerous mission of his life. And it’s worth every beat of his heart.

Critic Reviews

“Stoker thrills with the sizzling hot, fast-paced, and occasionally heart-stopping third contemporary Mountain Mercenaries novel…Stoker sensitively deals with tough subjects such as [assault] (and its devastating aftermath) and parental kidnapping, and draws readers into a richly woven tale, ably setting up the next story. This series is perfect for romantic thriller aficionados.” (Publishers Weekly)

Loved

I loved Arrow and Morgan and all the Mountain Mercenaries characters. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. I would recommend all of Susan Stoker’s books.

Not one of my favs..

Morgan has been missing for a year..just by happenstance, the Mountain Mercenaries find her while on an op for someone else. When they save both parties, Arrow found that their new hostage is well know . Getting her back home is on,y 1/2 the battle. Finding who wants her dead and getting her to realize that she’s his, that’s a whole other story.

Ok, the general concept of the Mountain Mercenaries meant that we were going to be involved in some hard, in some instances, triggering scenarios, but for me, there are some things that can’t be rushed or “pushed aside” for the sake of the story.

Morgan was held captive, repeatedly raped, starved, and brutalized..just the fact that she was attracted to another man never rang true for me. Even if her attending therapy and talking about her ordeal was part of the story, none of it rang true for me in the short time the story was written. I mean an awful lot occurred I; the span of about 2 months..then 6 months later. While I understand that people heal differently, this just didn’t work for me.

Now with that said, I didn’t hate the book. The twist of who wanted her captured and gone was crazy. I’m still digesting that one. Otherwise, I enjoyed the book.

Needless to say, we’re all waiting for Rex’s book and I can’t wait to see if my guess of who he’s is correct.😄. On to, the next book.

Enjoy!

Steamy suspenseful romance

This book is a solid 4.5 star book. The characters were well developed. While the previous one in the series I gave a solid five stars this one I nicked it a little bit just because of – I’m not really sure. While it was still a very good book I just felt the need to ding it I half a star because I think the middle love it became a little discombobulated. Look forward to reading her next one. The narration was excellent.

this was a great read

this book was deep and it shows how you can go through hell and come out on top

Defending Morgan

The story is okay but by the time you get to Book 3 you can anticipate the story line & the book becomes boring.

Great Series

I a real Susan Stoker fan and this Mountain Mercenaries series is a prime example of her talent. Awesome storyline with intriguing characters. I can't wait for the next novel in the series.

Surprisingly Good

The story is a nice mixture of romance, mystery an action. This is an exciting new series. The narrator Stella Bloom did a stellar job. This practical unassuming woman is one tough cookie. The alphas of this series are unbelievably perfect and solid. The bad guy turns out be irrational and crazier than twelve loons, a complete surprise..... too me anyway.

Defending Morgan

Just when I thought the Mercenaries couldn’t find themselves in a more intriguing situation. Sent to find a kidnapped little girl and come back with an extra missing/kidnapped person. I love this series, each book has s touch more crazy than the last!

Morgan’s Story was great

Narrator was a FIVE! Could not get the fifth star to light. This story was very exciting with twists and turns! Surprise ending!!! Susan Stoker is becoming a favorite of mine. I have the next Mountain Mercenaries and will start it now. I hope Susan writes stories for all 6 mercenaries!

Outstanding

susan Stoker never lets me down. Great tale with characters I fell in love with. Will reread this book and recommend to my friends.

Loved it!

Thought I knew where the plot was going and I was right but I still enjoyed the ride to get there!! Good story. Love the characters. Well written.

I enjoyed the book Defending Morgan

I enjoyed listening to this book and how the story evolved. Without giving the plot away it concluded with an unexpected twist.

Another fab listen

Love everything about this series.
The story line is very descriptive allowing you to be able to visualise the situations and characters, it’s almost like your there they are your friends and your part of what’s happening.
Narration is good very clear, good pace and intonation.
On to look for the next in series...
