Blurb: Love is the best defense in New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker’s explosive Mountain Mercenaries novel.
Gorgeous women don’t just stumble onto Ronan Cross’s remote property. But this one—vulnerable, victimized, and needing the kind of help only Ronan can offer—tells a story that makes his blood boil almost as hot as his need to protect her.
Since her father’s death, Chloe Harris has become a prisoner. Her own brother, a flesh peddler and low-level player in the Denver Mafia, is forcing her to sell her body for an endgame Chloe never saw coming: control over a vast fortune. Her only way out is to run—straight into the arms of the one hard-bodied man she can trust.
Defending Chloe could rain punishment down on the Mountain Mercenaries. Her brother has Mob connections and the local police in his pocket. But Ronan still has an edge—the unshakable loyalty of his deadly teammates. As well as an unquenchable thirst for retribution…and Chloe.
Favorite quote(s): “There’s something between us, Chloe. Tell me you feel it. Tell me I’m not the only one,” he ordered.
Thoughts: Defending Chloe was a good edition to the Mountain Mercenaries series. I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as the first book, but it was still a great read. The premise of the book was set up at the end of book one, so we kind of already know what to expect with this book. For me, it started out really strong, but was a bit slow in the middle for me. Gradually, it picked back up though.
Overall, a good book – but then we expect nothing less from Susan Stoker…J
