Review - DEFENDING MORGAN by Susan Stoker

Defending Morgan
(Mountain Mercenaries #3) 
by Susan Stoker

Protection leads to passion in New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker’s dangerously hot Mountain Mercenaries adventure.

Dispatched to the Dominican Republic to rescue a kidnapped child, former Navy SEAL Archer “Arrow” Kane makes a startling discovery: another hostage—Morgan Byrd, a very beautiful and very well-known missing person who disappeared off the streets of Atlanta a year ago. She’s brave, resilient, and unbroken. All Arrow wants to know is why she ended up in a shack in Santo Domingo. All he feels is the desire to protect.

Morgan is done being the victim and is determined to find out who hates her so much that they want her gone—but not dead. Until then, she has Arrow, an alpha stranger who’s offering a warm and safe place to hide. But as the passion between them flares, so does the fear that whoever took Morgan will do anything to get her back. For Arrow, protecting this woman with a mysterious enemy is the most dangerous mission of his life. And it’s worth every beat of his heart.

4.5 Stars

I have completely enjoyed the Mountain Mercenaries so far and Susan didn't disappoint with this addition. I love the strong heroines she gives us. Yes they are beaten down and not in a good place when we find them but they fight, for their lives back, they aren't ready to give up just because of something bad happening.

Morgan earned my respect from the very beginning, doing what she could to protect that little girl. The lessons she learned the hard way while captive helped to keep her alive and made the escape that much easier. Her concern with find out who would have done this to her in the first place. Fighting hard when they Mercenaries start looking to her friends and family first.

Arrow knew right away that this woman was different than most. He has done enough rescues and most women are beyond thinking and in hysterics by the time they find them. She was still in fight mode. The more he gets to know her the more he wants to be there for her. He has never understood the instant connection that Gray and Ro had found with their ladies but he is feeling it now. He is ready to embrace it and move forward with it as it takes him.

There was a great level of suspense with a great mix of romance. I am looking forward to more of this series in the future.
