Defending Allye

Mountain Mercenaries Series, Book 1

By: Susan Stoker

Narrated by: Stella Bloom

Love is a life-and-death risk for the Mountain Mercenaries in New York Times best-selling author Susan Stoker’s explosive series of alpha heroes, hot action, and hard passion....

Ever since his rescue op off the Pacific Coast, Mountain Mercenary Gray Rogers hasn’t been able to forget his latest “job”—Allye Martin. Any other woman would have panicked during a rescue, but the wily dancer kept her cool—even after being kidnapped by an elusive human trafficker. And Gray couldn’t be happier when a grateful Allye follows him home to Colorado Springs.... For Allye, finding sanctuary in the arms—and bed—of the former Navy SEAL is only temporary. People are disappearing off the streets of San Francisco, victims of the same underground trade that targeted her, and Allye could be the key to dismantling the entire operation. She’s willing to do anything to bring them down. Gray isn’t—for good reason. But you don’t say no to a tough girl like Allye who refuses to play it safe. Now Gray is risking more than ever before. The Mountain Mercenaries have his back. But is it enough to keep the woman he loves out of harm’s way?

Not a bad start to another badass series

Allye has been kidnapped. She’s not sure by whom or why, but it’s her lucky day that a savior appeared out of nowhere. Gray is on a mission to bring down a human trafficking ring and while following a lead he comes face to face with a beauty that wasn’t supposed to be there. While saving her is a given, he isn’t prepared for how much he will want to protect her and keep her safe. Unfortunately, the one man who paid for her to be his won’t stop searching for her and killing anyway in his way.

I enjoyed the book and it’s an excellent start to the series. The only issue I had was how could Allye go back to her life while the man who had her kidnapped was still on the loose? This baffled me from the start. Otherwise, meeting all of the mercenaries and learning a little about each one is going to be a thrilling ride.

Defending Allye

This was a great start for this series. It is a suspense that has a dark element to it. Allye was kidnapped off the streets of San Francisco one night and found herself of a boat chained to a bed. Gray was on a mission of getting information on a known human trafficker. He found her on the boat after he had taken care of the two men and got her off before it sank. Their story revolved around an unknown TB who sold women into slavery. This has dark information that could trigger someone. I was intrigued by the story line and the narration.

Loved it!

This was a great listen. It kept me interested throughout. What’s not to love about a strong, caring man and a strong, stubborn, loving woman. Did I mention that they both have issues. Sounds like a recipe for a good story and it was.

Defending Allye

I loved this book and can't wait for the next installment in this awesome new series by Susan Stoker!

Dark but great!

I'm a huge fan of Stoker novels. The details and alpha male protectors. This was about a sadistic trafficker of women which was dark...but it was a really great start to the series.
