CLAIMING FELICITY is the fourth book in the Ace Security
series where the three Anderson brothers learn they have a
half brother. When Logan, Blake, and Nathan Anderson meet
Ryder Sinclair old wounds are reopened and some blank spaces
are filled. Ryder always knew about his half siblings but
the three Anderson brothers had no clue about him. The
Anderson triplets had a horrible life with their abusive
mother but their father was a buffer for them. Ryder didn't
have his father in his life but he had a wonderful mother
who loved him. This is an amazing, well written series that
deals with some horrible situations. As always, Susan Stoker
writes a story with perfect insight into the characters.
Ryder is a former mercenary who makes the decision to leave
him career in order to establish a relationship with
his new family and create new roots in Castle Rock,
Colorado with his brothers. The first time he lays eyes on
Felicity Jones he knows he's where he wants to be. It's
amazing that Ryder immediately sees the fear and need in
Felicity that her friends, who have known her for five
years, had no inkling about. Felicity has been hiding
behind a false identity for ten years and now the threat has
returned and she wants to run again because she
needs to protect her friends. Ryder has no intention of
letting her run away because he has met the person who he
knows is meant for him. From the previous books in this
series, you see the horrible things each of the women go
through. Felicity has suffered alone because she couldn't
risk putting her friends' lives in danger. For the first time
in ten years she feels safe enough to open up and share her
fears with Ryder. Ryder also finds a kindred spirit in
Felicity because he shares some painful memories with her
regarding his missions as a mercenary.
Ryder along with his brothers and Cole do everything they
can to protect her. He even uses his resources with his
Mountain Mercenaries Team (Ball, Gray, Meat, Arrow, Black,
and Ro) along with their handler Rex (who has a powerful
reach) when the threat becomes a reality. I am excited that
Susan Stoker mentioned at the end of this novel that she
will be writing a new series about the Mountain Mercenaries.
These will be some very interesting characters.
Falling in love could expose a woman in hiding, in the
fourth Ace Security novel from New York Times
bestselling author Susan Stoker.
Former mercenary Ryder Sinclair’s stunning discovery that he
has three half brothers in Castle Rock, Colorado, is giving
them all the chance to color in the spaces of their tragic
pasts. For Ryder, establishing roots is made all the more
desirable by Felicity Jones. But if Ryder’s instincts are
correct, this breathtaking beauty is in trouble.
Castle Rock isn’t Felicity’s home. Like her false identity,
it’s just a cover. All she wants is enough cash to keep
moving to another temporary hideaway—to stay on the run from
a secret that’s haunted her for years. As safe as Ryder’s
strong embrace makes her feel, she fears that falling for
him, and staying in Colorado, will put everyone she’s come
to love in danger.
The more Ryder learns about Felicity, the more determined he
is not to let her go. It’s time for her to stop running—even
as a relentless danger closes in, threatening their love and
their lives.
