The O’Reilly brothers are back with a vengeance in another riveting novel overflowing with mayhem and murder. Dace O’Reilly is in for the fight of his life to clear the name of the woman who stole his heart. The fourth installment of the mysterious saga of forbidden love, second chances, and twists of fate is finally here! Just when you think the O’Reilly Brothers can’t get any better—Pursuing … can’t get any better—
Pursuing Dace:
Ivy Kimble wasn’t just the one who got away. She was taken.
Vanished without a trace and has remained elusive for years. When she finally returns, beaten within an inch of her life, the need to protect her is overwhelming. So is his hunch that she’s hiding something.
Dace O’Reilly spent years searching for his fiancé, and with every victory and disappointment, the alpha badass adds more ink, another piercing. A tribute. A battle scar. When she shows up out of thin air, she’s not the innocent woman he once knew. Ivy is at the top of a suspect list.
Conspiracy, murder, cartel, arms dealing and drug running— the crimes stack up like bodies leaving Ivy standing in the middle. He wants to believe her story, but the evidence reveals she’s more villain than victim, a criminal mastermind in a high stakes game.
A game Dace intends to win.
He’s fiercely protective and loyal to a fault. As former “off record” special ops he’s used to playing by a different set of rules.
His own.
Rules be damned, revenge is coming. Dace and Brother’s Keeper Security fight to clear Ivy’s name and bring down those who tried to destroy him and everything he stood for by taking her. Just when they think they’ve accomplished that…plot twist.

OMG…SSK has done it again! Just when you think this series can’t get any better, BOOM…SSK proves you wrong! Dace and Ivy’s story is by far my favorite book in the series!!!

With the help of his brothers, they unfold the mystery of Ivy’s disappearance and reappearance and realize in doing so that nothing is as it seems and they can’t trust anyone, including Ivy! Amazing storyline with lots of action, mystery, and hotness from the members of Brother’s Keeper! I highly recommend that you…READ…IT…NOW…you won’t be disappointed!

As she heals and Ivys story is told the crazy world the O’Reillys just gets better and betterm The way Stephanie tells us the answer to these questions has you turning page after page waiting to see if they get their happily ever after. This is a must read and youbonly have to start the waiting again for the last book..
O…M…G… What a rush! From the first page until the last, this book captured my attention. Dace is the fourth book in the Brother’s Keeper series by Stephanie St. Klaire. It is a stand-alone novel (I know this because this is the first book I have read in this series) and is intended for a mature audience due to adult language and intimate scenes. However, the sex scenes were tastefully written which I appreciated.
This book is the story of Ivy and Dace, who at one time were engaged. But while Dace was on a mission, Ivy disappeared. Years have passed and when Ivy returns, Dace is shocked. She has been beaten, shot and in critical condition. Where has she been? Why was she almost killed? What is she hiding? If you enjoy romantic suspense with a little spice, this is a must-read book!
Worth waiting for !
What a rush ! All the pent-up emotions , the sadness and frustrations Dace has been carrying around for years are all coming out with a bang when he sees the woman he’s been searching for all those years. He’s all about work , ink , piercing and meaningless affairs. Ivy is carrying a lot of fears and secrets along the years and she trusts no one. She’s used to running and protecting what’s hers. Dace and Ivy’s story is packed with unanswered questions, buried secrets and misunderstanding that keeps us wondering what will happen all the way till the end. Lots of suspense, a little mistery , a strong family bond and undeniable love. I really liked the police, cartel and mafia mixing all together in the story bringing it an ever better twist ! Can’t wait for the next book in the series !
Superb!! i could not put this book down!! From the first page this story had me on the edge of my seat and Dace and Ivy’s second chance at love had me swooning. This was an intriguing, keep you on your toes and guessing what’s going to happen next.If your a fan of romantic suspense and second chances you will want to read this! I now have a book hangover and this will be on my re- read list!
Stephanie St. Klaire writes amazing romantic suspense filled books. I was so happy to return to the O’Bro’s and get Dace’s story. This is definitely a story in a series you will want to read in order. I love Brother’s Keeper & how the brothers all work together which was greatly needed when Dace’s ex came back into his life in an unexpected manner. There were twists & turns throughout the story & I could not put it down!
Stephanie St Klaire continues to amaze and enthrall readers with every book.This is a fast pace, suspense and surprise filled story with tons of heart and heartbreak that I could not put down.Dace has searched for Ivy and then she suddenly turns up with secrets and surprises of her own. St Klaire’s books are filled with heart and intrigue like no other.She is always a must read.I have loved the O’Reilly’s since the first story and am anxiously awaiting Wylie’s book.A can’t put down rollercoaster ride of emotion, secrets and suspense.
I really enjoy this series and couldn’t wait for Dace book to come out. It didn’t disappoint, it sure starts of with a punch and doesn’t stop until the end. There are some great twist and unexpected turns to keep you guessing. Really love the pace of this book. It was over before I want it to be. This book was totally worth the wait!
Yes!
This story was so worth the wait! A lip-biting, heartbreaking lead-in to a fantastic story! This story is gut-clenching and seriously gets you guessing just who the enemy is right from the beginning. The mighty O’Reilly clan may have met their match in secret, state-of-the-art technology. Who has access to their super spy stuff? How can anyone fly under their radar and end up on their doorstep?
It appears that Ivy has had a journey through hell, but has she? I absolutely loved the mystery of the who, where and how she is involved in so much, yet she is so severely injured, how could she possibly do what she’s being accused of? I applaud Dace’s loyalty and protective stance against his brother’s and their need for him to keep his head in the game. He can’t afford to let his heart dictate his actions.
As the players are discovered, the bodies pile up and the questions multiply. Who is capable of doing this right under the nose and one step ahead of the Brothers’ Keeper organization? How will Dace ever trust Ivy again? Maybe she isn’t the sweet girl that left so long ago. Maybe she is the enemy. So many thoughts swirl around in my head trying to second guess the author and read her mind as to how this story will unfold!
I love this O’Reilly family. They can be under siege and fighting an unseen war, but the women are behind them, holding down the “fort” and maintaining their support system in a way only family can, with regular family dinners, baby showers and gab sessions. Family is definitely a top priority no matter what any one of them might be going through, they have your back unconditionally.
This is an intense, intricate evolution with so many twists and turns to keep you riveted and doing anything but reading until it says The End. Brothers’ Keeper is a one-of-a-kind series and I love it!
What can I say about this book? Stephanie St Klaire has this scary ability to weave a suspense that pulls you in and has you on the edge of your seat through the entire book. I questioned everyone’s motive and what they had to gain and was still wrong on all counts. Dace has been searching for Ivy for years, never giving up on his love for her. When she finds him, all is not what it seems and the past was all made up. The brothers keepers are a series that will stay with me forever and I will look back and sigh fondly at the stories they were a part of. This is the second to last and I am anxiously awaiting the last but don’t want it to come to fast.
Brother’s Keepers IV: Dace was action packed!! I was so happy that the brothers were back, I missed them!! Dace finally gets his story and so much more than he ever dreamed!!
This book deserves all of your attention. Dace is not a book that you want to grab a chapter here and a chapter there. When you open this book, you are going to be sucked in to a world of intrigue beyond comprehension.
Dace has been looking for Ivy for years. His searches have been highlighted in previous books and finally we get to meet her when she drops out of no where into an alley near the Watermark Tower. Is it fate?? Is it a setup? Is it the end of everything Dace has remembered about Ivy, the woman he has put on a pedestal?
Ivy is just the beginning of a story that has so many twists and turns that you will need a map if you go a chapter here and a chapter there. The author does an amazing job of keeping this reader on her toes. Every time I would think I had it all solved another situation would occur. Secrets would be revealed. The Author teased me and teased me.
I searched each chapter for answers. I read each page looking for holes in the stories of those involved. Along the way I found myself hoping that Ivy and Dace would find their way back. Let’s face it we all want a happily ever after especially when the author has made the characters and the reader work for it over and over again.
I have been waiting for this book.
Ivy has been missing for years and Dace and been looking. Every time he come close to finding her but some how misses her he does something painful to his body as in a tattoo or a piercing. Guess what it is this time. Well let just say you will find out in the first two minutes of the book. Then Ivy just shows up. She has been beaten with in an inch of her life and has Dave’s name on her. Now it is up to the brother’s to put all the pieces together and find out what is going on.
The biggest twist in all of it is Ivy has a son. That is Dace’s that he just now is finding out about that is missing. Her dad is still missing till he shows up lookin for help. What happens when Ivy slips though Dace’s hands a second time? Will he be able to save her and the son he has yet to meet all at the same time or will the Brother’s Keepers be to late to safe them?
You must read this very exciting fourth book in this series. It will not leave you disappointed at all. You do not have to read the other book to read this one but it will help to give you a better understanding on how this family works and how close that all are. And a bigger back story but is totally not needed. Stephanie St. Klaire is a fantastic author and does a fantastic job with this series.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I don’t know how Ms. St. Klaire comes up with all the stuff she puts in her books (think Black Ops), but it makes for a really exciting read. These books just keep on rocking my world. The O’Reilly boys are all big, tough and handsome, and when they fall for a woman it’s like a redwood coming down.
Dace has been hunting for Ivy since she walked out of his life several years ago. He didn’t give up on her and now that’s she’s back he’ll do anything to protect her, because she’s one of the “good guys”–or is she?
This book is full of the twists and turns that St. Klaire is so good at. It’s fast paced and full of enough suspense that you’ll find yourself putting off going to the bathroom while you read just one more page…
I was given a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
There are a few books that can actually capture my attention to where I read the book in one sitting. This one fit the bill.
Was it because it is from Stephanie St. Klaire? YES.
It is because it was fully of sexy, romantic sense along with suspense and mystery that kept me captivated? YES!
We get Dace O’Reilly story of his long lost love who surprisingly resurfaces. While some believe she just left one day, Dace knew deep in his heart she had been taken from him. But how and what is Ivy hiding? Is it guilt or something bigger? This book will knock your socks off so set back and be prepared as Stephanie tells us Dace and Ivy’s story.
A long awaited reunion for Dace and Ivy. He’s been searching for her since she disappeared years ago, and is going to be shocked when she comes back. An action packed story, filled with a great happily ever after! I loved Dace in all the previous books. He as broody and alpha. Ivy is the perfect match for him. Very excited for the last book!
The Brother’s Keeper series is about the O’Reilly’s, ex-military security experts that are highly in demand. Dace has been spending his down time looking for his girlfriend that disappeared years ago. Every time he has a promising clue, it doesn’t pan out. If he only knew how close he’s been!
Ivy was excited about a future with Dace. She wanted to stay safe for him so she ran when her father said she was in danger. She just didn’t expect to still be running years later. Now, something’s gone wrong so she heads to Dace. Now she’s in the hospital severely beaten & Dace has to try to figure out what’s happened & what’s coming after them.
This story is non stop action & emotion. From the beginning, you are drawn in by Dace’s despair & the action & storyline keep you reading. There are unexpected twists that keep you on your toes. I can’t wait for the next story.
Ivy’s back in Dace’s life, but not in the way he ever wanted or expected. There’s a lot going on. Not only are they dealing with life-changing secrets & life-threatening danger, but with the rekindling of their trust and deep abiding love for each other. This is a fast-paced, action-packed tale that’s been a long time coming, but well worth the wait. I didn’t realize how much I missed the O’Reilly Clan, but as soon as I started reading it was like we’d never been apart.
Dace and Ivy’s story is filled with lots of drama, excitement, suspense, moments of steamy passion and a few unexpected surprises. It’s not easy to figure out who’s to be trusted (other than the O’Reillys and those close to them, of course), which adds to the excitement and suspense. From the very beginning, it will grab your attention, keep you enthralled throughout, and not let go even at the end. This is one you will definitely not want to put down, and it’ll leave you anxiously awaiting what’s next for Wylie and the O’Reillys because there is definitely more to this story .
Stephanie St. Klaire is one author who keeps herself at the top of my romantic suspense list! Her Brother’s Keeper series is such an incredible keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat series! DACE is the fourth book in the series and is so intense that it will keep you up reading because you will not want to put it down!
After years of searching for his fiancée, Ivy, she instead finds her way back into Dace’s life, beaten, and bringing with her a lot of mystery and secrets…
“Oh my God!” she shouted. Shoving the blankets off her, she tried to raise to her knees to better scan the space as if she’d lost something and desperately needed to find it. “Where is he? Where is he?” She looked around Dace to see if whoever, or whatever, she was searching for was there. “He’s…He’s…” A sob escaped her.
Dace O’Reilly ‘s name says it all…he is an O’Reilly…
“Okay. So this is how this is going to play out.” Dace rolled his eyes. “I know what you are trying to do, darlin’, and it isn’t gonna work because you’re right – I’m one of the notorious O’Reilly brothers, and we don’t give up on shit, and we certainly don’t give up this easy. You remember that part, right? You remember who I am and how I am, right? You know that I’m not going away. You know my brothers aren’t going away. You knew that when you came to town. You knew that when you made it blocks from our building. You knew that when you wrote my name on your arm.”
This book and series has it all…suspense, technology, secrets, heat, murder, romance, lies, plot twists, family, swoon-worthy characters, humor…I mean there is a perfect blend of everything in this story! Author Stephanie St. Klaire has done an amazing job! This series *should* be read in order…I guess you could read it as a standalone, but with the backstory and the family and … NOPE. Just start at the beginning and read the series in order. (Wink, wink). I cannot recommend this enough!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! 5 SOLID STARS!
