This is the first book I’ve read of Susan’s. I enjoyed it very much. Love Allye. Those two were fated mates. Great read.
Intense!! I love how intense Susan writes. You get so engrossed into the story and feel all the ups and downs. Heart pounding drama. Great love story and intrigue! Off the charts!!
Another amazing story by susan. The plot is literally as it is in almost every book by the author but every time it’s exciting and suspensful to get to the bottom of the story and read about the hero/heroine overcome their insecurities with themselves an go for it.
What an amazing start to this series.
I always have complete faith in Mrs. Stoker even when she starts a new series. I know that I’m going to enjoy it. This book was the same.
This new group of men who go out of their way to save women and children is a series that should be read.
Since I picked up my first Susan Stoker book I have been hooked. She does a great job of creating strong alpha males who love fiercely and are loyal to their teams. Defending Allye is no exception. From their first meeting to their happily-ever-after, Gray and Allye’s topsy turvy story will keep you enthralled. It’s definitely a must read and I’m looking forward to more stories in this series.
What an exciting and fast paced book! It is a great read and I hope you will pick up yourself a copy and read it! I’m sure you will like it! Thanks Susan.
I love her writing. Development of characters happening while the book is moving along with the story. Starts off with Action.
Another fantastic book. Allye is unique, with mismatched eyes, white streak in her hair. She’s a fabulous dancer, and she has an admirer. He collects items, and he wants her. Gray saved her once can he do it again. What the women had to go thru and ones who didn’t make it. It just makes u want to cry at the injustice of it all. The story will capture u until u finish it to the end.
I loved this book. Super entertaining, and action packed. You can’t go wrong with a Susan Stoker book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley and I also purchased a copy.
I just loved this book. The plot flowed so well and was beautifully written. I could hardly put it down. Gray was a wonderful male protagonist!!! His character was drool-worthy. Allye was fantastic as well. I loved the dual POVs that this book is written in. I really hated to see this story end. I could have kept reading about these two.
This book is about a woman who is kidnapped with the intent to sell into slavery. This is a hard subject to read about. Unfortunately things like this happen in real life. That is what makes the story so believable. Yes, there were some graphic details on the violent happenings and the cruel deeds that some heinous people do to others. So yes, a word of warning to those that don’t care for such things.
The story also contained graphic sex scenes. I normally don’t care for erotica and I really don’t consider this erotica. To me, there was a story here and the sex scenes between the two protagonist was a PART of the story. The story was not just sex scenes.
I can’t wait to read more stories about the men of Mountain Mercenaries.
Who doesn’t love to be protected? Be still my heart.
Susan Stoker has created another world populated by alpha males who will do anything to love and protect the kickass heroines in their lives. The men in Mountain Mercenaries are Grayson, Black, Ro, Meat, Ball Arrow and their mysterious leader Rex. This is Grayson Rogers and Allyson Martin’s story. Alley and Gray meet in the Pacific Ocean on a sinking fishing boat and that starts the incredible rollercoaster ride. I didn’t get much done around my house after I started Defending Allye. It is full of adventure, an evil villain, Nightingale and hot sexy scenes that will keep you reading late into the night.
As with most of Susan Stoker’s books, this one can be read as a standalone but the Ace Security series and Ryder Sinclair’s story first introduced me to Mountain Mercenaries. The book is not for the faint of heart. It is graphic both in violent and sexual situations but all part of the gripping story. I cannot wait for book two in the series, Ro and Chloe’s story. Thank you Susan Stoker for sharing your stories with us. I would read anything written by you!
Gray Rogers has been to hell and back and now finds solace in Colorado Spring. He has joined a mercenary group to root out evil in the world, particularly sex trafficking. Allye Martin is a dancer with unique physical attributes. Those attributes have caught the eye of The Boss and now he wants her for himself. Gray found Allye by accident the first time. Now he wants to protect her at all costs. The cost is to high for Allye and she decides to go on the offense. With the group of guys that work with Gray, she feels safe with them having her back. I love the ending and that we are introduced to Gray’s mom Penne. She is a blast.
Emotionally thrilling, sexy, engaging, action packed romantic adventure filled with danger, mystery and undeniable passion…. could not put it down.
Gray Rogers and Allye Martin are both very smart, strong and courageous individuals with the common goal of taking down the bad guys…. This is a highly entertaining and exciting summer afternoon read that was perfect for relaxing in the backyard with a cold drink.
A Susan Stoker fan…But…NOT my favorite!! Love the mercenaries storyline! Really enjoy the beginning of this story, but then it fell apart for me, didn’t like the lack of romance and conflict/interactions between Grey and Allye towards the end.
This story surprised me. It kicks right in from the start. It drew me in immediately. Allye is sassy yet almost timid while Grayson is rough and determined. Such a captivating story. I’m looking forward to Ro’s story.
This book keeps you guessing and deals with a sad subject human traffickeing. I got so mad at the evil in people I hated and fell in love with the characters my emotions were all over the place
I could not put it down.
