Awe....say it isn't so....what? It's not? (I'll get to that later) What a way to finish off this series.

Felicity is the badass friend who's been helping the other Ace Security woman through their troubles. But beneath all that hard exterior is the Felicity we didn't know. The woman who's been running from someone. The woman who's willing to give up her new life to save those she's grown to care about. But there's just one problem. It doesn't look like her friends are willing to let her go. Especially this "new" friend who has attached himself to her hip. There could be worse things, right?

Ryder is the family secret. The brother no one knew about. That is, until he walked in to Ace Security and told his brothers exactly who he was. It also turned out to be the same day he went face to face with his new obsession. He noticed things about Felicity, even her closest friends couldn't notice. And now, there was no way in hell he was going let her out of his sight, because there's no way he won't protect her with his life.

I'm so happy Felicity got a story. I was wondering what it was and now I know. More importantly, I'm happy she got her hands on Ryder. Why? Because she really needed someone to protect her. To take care of her. And most importantly show her that there was a reason to stop running. These two were perfect for each other and it's a perfect way to end this series.

But wait!!!! There's more!!!!

During this story, we meet Ryder's "friends". And OMG!!!!! I'm already chopping at the bit to get my hands on the new spin off, Mountain Mercenaries. Yes please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susan Stoker’s newest and fourth novel in the Ace Security Series is called Claiming Felicity. The men of Ace Security are three brothers, triplets, who joined together to form a Security agency. Imagine their surprise when they find out they have a fourth brother, granted a half brother. Ryder Sinclair surprised the Anderson brothers with his presence. He had decided it was time to find the rest of his family. His brothers accepted him, and then he met Felicity. In her he saw something the others did not. Felicity was scared and hiding something, but what? Ryder is determined to help her. He fell for her at first sight!

I like Susan Stoker’s books. I enjoy her writing and characters. I was not enthralled with Ryder and his first encounters with Felicity, but he grew on me. The twists and turns of the story made it fun to read as you waited for more information! Claiming Felicity by Susan Stoker was a good read.

TERRIFIC!!! This is a definite page -turner! There is lots of mystery, excitement and it is definitely steamy! I have been curious of Felicity's past from the previous stories and finding out what she was hiding was so worth waiting for! I also loved how Ryder was this big alpha hero with such a hugh heart you couldn't not love him! I am not going to say anymore because I don't want to spoil it BUT, if you love a really good romantic suspense you will NOT want to miss this story!!

This was my favorite of the books for this series. There is intrigue, suspense, and so much chemistry the book is smoking. I love that it is set in Colorado where I live so I can really see the place setting. Felicity may be seen as a broken woman but she is anything but. Ryder comes on really strong with his feelings but that seems to be common with Susan's male characters.

I had read and enjoyed 2 of the previous stories in this series, and was curious about this new one.
As with the others, it has an engaging plot , complex characters, bad guys, good hunky ones and romance.
Well written, without a doubt.
This story centers around the Anderson half- brother, Ryder Sinclair and Felicity. The brothers were all clueless of his existence and when he comes to Castle Rock to meet them, the greeting was a tad tense.
When Ryder meets Felicity Jones, he knows she is in trouble and is determined to help her..
All that said, I had mixed feelings about this story. It was thought provoking and a reminder that our opinions of the books we read are subjective and our beliefs and upbringings affect those opinions.
Ryder’s over the top possessiveness of Felicity from the moment they meet and saying she was his, rubbed me wrong . All good , but hey, no one “possesses” another person. The fact that his profession as a mercenary, later former mercenary, was more on the darkest side of gray , made me uncertain of how I felt. Makes you wonder how you would feel if put in a position of needing the help these mercenaries offered. Never say never.
So, as much as I didn’t particularly enjoy the book, it deserves a 4 star for all the feelings it stirs and the thoughts it provokes.
I was gifted this copy by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

I received a free copy of Claiming Felicty Jones through Netgalley for my honest and fair review. I have been looking forward to reading this book for months. Once I started reading it I couldnt stop except to sleep. This is the story of Felicity and Ryder Sinclair. Ryder is a former mercenary and hr discovers he has three half brothers in Castle Rock, Colorado. He wants to establish new life in Colorado and meeting Felicity makes that easy. Felicty is running from something Felicity is a false name and identity.

Felicty feels safe in Ryder's arms. However she still is scared staying in Colorado everyone she loves will be put in danger. She needs enough cash to run and start new life. The more Ryder gets to know Felicity the more determined he is to not let her go. Even though danger is close threatening their new found love they need to figure out how to defeat the the demons that are chasing her.

I really loved this book. Seeing Ryder and Felicity fall for each other and also fight to get away from her past was enjoyable. Getting to see past characters and finally see Felicity's story was great. It was a great story with love, action, drama and read it in less then a day. I would reccomend reading this to anyone. Even though I receieved a free copy I am still buying a copy since I loved it so much.

This is book 4 in the Ace Security series and helps kick of the Mountain Mercenaries series. I recommend you read the books before this one so you understand all the connections and the history of the characters that they talk about. This one is about Felicity Jones who is Grace's best friend (from Claiming Grace) and Ryder Sinclair who is the half-brother of the brother's from the first 3 books that we see at the end of the last book. Felicity is in trouble as we see at the end of the last book as well. The brother's are drawn in when Cole calls them for help to make her stay. But she won't tell them what is going on. Ryder can see that she is running from something, he just doesn't know what. He also knows from the moment they meet that she is the one for him. And he is determined to not only find out what is going on but to make sure she is safe for good. He knows that no matter how far she runs, the danger will still be there. That it's time to face it head on.

I absolutely loved this book! From start to finish I was hooked! I have liked Felicity from the other books and thought her snark and humor were great. And this book just highlighted it even more. Once you find out what happened to her and why she is running, it just makes you love her even more since she is still such a caring person. Ryder is definitely that Alpha male but the ones you love! He is protective and loving. And even after just meeting his brother's, he already cares about them and treats them as the family they are. This book definitely had some twists that I wasn't expecting and it made it even better for me. I loved every minute of it and read it in less than a day. I can't wait to read the spin off series from this one and to see more about Ryder's friends!!!

What a fantastic ending to a wonderful series!

Claiming Felicity is the last book in the Ace Security series and picks up where book three, Claiming Bailey, left off. At the end of book three we are briefly introduced to Ryder Sinclair when he shows up on the doorstep of Ace Security in Castle Rock, Colorado. Ryder grew up with the knowledge of his three half-brothers and their father through his mother but was not aware, until meeting them, that they had no knowledge of him in return. The realization is a shocking turn of events they all must come to terms with in their own ways and emotions run high as Ryder and the others navigate the familial waters. In the midst of their meeting and understanding what this means for them all, Ryder meets Felicity and instantly knows she is the one. He sees the fear hidden in her eyes and knows she is battling demons of her own and he immediately, upon meeting her, steps up to be her champion; to put himself between her and the rest of the world. He vows to her that he will protect her and keep her safe, aside from knowing her secrets, with the hope that she will confide in him and open up to the possibility of a future for them both. Even though Ryder is instantly drawn to her the more he gets to know her and understand the tragedy of her past the more he wants to break through her walls to see the woman hidden underneath the disguise. When that woman does emerge he is in awe of her strength, courage and determination and is unwavering in his belief that she is meant to be his. With the help of his newfound family and his handler and team (Rex and Mountain Mercenaries) Ryder helps Felicity to rid herself of threat from her past, setting her free once and for all, and giving her a new hope for the future.

Felicity Jones has been on the run for years. Never getting attached, packing light and always ready for a quick getaway. That is until she temporarily lands in Castle Rock, Colorado. Here she finds something she has always longed for, a place she can call home with friends she adores and who adore her in return. She has become so good at shielding herself and hiding in plain sight that none of them knew the danger she was in or the threat she faced until Ryder appears out of nowhere and breaks down her walls. The connection she feels to him is undeniable and the promise for more too tempting for her to ignore. She is terrified her trouble will bring danger to her friends’ doors but with them all standing vigilant behind her and Ryder at her side she is determined to be free once and for all.

There is plenty of emotion, including heart pounding gasps and tears, suspense, danger and romance in this final book of this series. This last book is also a great introduction to the upcoming Mountain Mercenaries series and the strong, alpha men we will get to know more about as the new stories unfold. They look like some interesting men and I cannot wait to read their stories. Also, while reading this book, do not miss the sneak peeks at the end (which Ms. Stoker is famous for), there are some nifty tidbits to look forward to. *I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and am leaving my honest review.

I was lucky to have an early read of this one.
Ryder and Felicity are a great couple, plenty of action, drama and imminent romance. When the book got to almost half way and I was teary, then I was really invested in the story. By the end tears were running down my face, were they happy tears though? You'll have to read to find out, I can tell you my heart was in my throat for a while.
A new offshoot series coming from this one sounds intriguing.

There’s something very addictive and seductive about Susan Stoker’s various series of courageous and brave soldiers, their fight for justice and the fierce protectiveness of their loved ones.

“Claiming Felicity” book four in the Ace Security Series is another exemplary work of Susan Stoker’s creative writing as she brings the surprising secretive half brother to the Anderson brothers, a twist to their family dynamics.

Ryan Sinclair comes to Castle Rock, CO, after the discovery of the half-brothers he never knew about. Wanting to know his newfound family, and leaving his mercenary life behind, Ryder is more than ready to plant roots and with Felicity Jones.

Feeling from a dangerous past, Castle Rock was supposed to be a temporary stop for Felicity Jones. But the Anderson family has tied her strong to family and friendship, and leaving was becoming a far fetched idea until the past catches up with her and lands her family and friends in danger.

But Ryder and the Anderson brothers will protect their own and will do anything to keep Felicity safe. With Ryder as her self appointed bodyguard and with sparks of attraction fanning between them, and passion igniting the sheets, Ryder will do anything to protect and keep Felicity in Castle Rock for a future with her.

“Claiming Felicity” is another courageous story of a woman trying to defeat her past for a future with the man she loves. A wonderful story of family and friendship, support and care, brotherhood and kinship, Susan Stoker gives her readers another captivating thriller.

Susan Stoker is one fine writer that I was glad to have come upon and enjoyed reading her stories. From her Badge Of Honor Series, Delta Force Heroes Series to Seal Of Protection Series and now to Ace Security series, I’ve literally enjoyed every single one of her books. Protecting Caroline, Protecting Fiona and Protecting Alabama are my top favorites of her books that I’ve visited innumerable times…chicken soup for the soul!!!

Received an ARC from Montlake Romance via NetGalley for an honest review.

Loved it! Can no wait to see more of the mercenaries. Can not remember if the firehouse is a established location in any of her other stories, I have read so many of hers I do not recall. I do hope we see the young lady again maybe rex's match?

Susan Stroker never fails to delight with her Ace Security books. She does it again with Claiming Felicity. This was such a solid and interesting story. Ryder is certainly surprised about have half brothers and meeting Felicity is the icing on the cake. Ryder is deeply intrigued by Felicity and vows to help keep her safe. Totally enjoyed it and couldn't put the book down.

Former mercenary Ryder Sinclair heads to Castle Rock, Colorado to meet the 1/2 brothers he just found he had. In the process he meets Felicity, a gym owner and tattooed very tough woman, at least on the outside. Getting to know her, and falling for her he finds out her secrets. She has been on the run from a crazed stalker for years, and it looks like he finally found her. Ryder takes over her security and plans to never let her go. Danger and intrigue follow. This novel is packed with big, muscled and dangerous Alphas. This is the first book I have read in the series, and was able to follow the story easily.

I liked this book, however I would have enjoyed it more if things weren't repeated frequently. I got it, that's going to be used in a future scenario no need to bring it up so often. But I did enjoy seeing all the past characters come together to help Ryder and Felicity out
