***4.5 Stars***
Can I have Ronan?
Or at least someone kindasortaexactly like him? (No accent isn’t a deal breaker, but will garner more points if there is one)
The swoons and head shakes were real with with this one, but that didn’t surprise me at all. These books, all of the authors books ~ not just this series ~ are filled with characters that I find it so easy fall in love with, even if they drive a little batshit crazy at times, but they always suck me in to the story and never want to say goodbye.
Ok. I ADORED Ronan (if that wasn’t already obvious). The man is all kinds of alpha AF and has honor branded on his soul. But what endeared him to me was how he could reign himself in, take stock of the situation as a whole and do what was best instead of what he thought was best. Chloe. This woman is a fighter. She’s had her world turned upside down and has been put through hell and yet she’s come out of it with her spirit in tact. It’s a little bruised and battered, but she still comes out swinging when everything is said and done.
Ronan and Chloe’s journey to their HEA was definitely an interesting one. Their beginnings definitely wouldn’t fall into the ‘meet cute’ arena, but it does prove that fate and karma are sometimes on your side. I loved watching the trust grow between them and how that deepened their attraction to each other in every way. The smexy was on point, their bantering was a lot of fun and I loved how everything worked out for them in the end.
This was a fun read, though it did take me a bit to get into the story in the beginning, which was more of a “it’s not you, it’s me” thing since I ended up devouring the book. I liked how everything played out and getting to know the rest of the Mercenaries a little better, though, I have to say that Allye definitely stole the show in this one. But, now to wait for Defending Morgan because after that little tease at the end, I cannot wait to see how things play out with Arrow and Morgan!

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.
Release Date: December 4th, 2018
She debuted her first series in 2014 and quickly followed that up with the SEAL of Protection Series, which solidified her love of writing and creating stories readers can get lost in.
