Defending Allye

My favorite so far.....

I like this book. I’ve listened to a few of her books and enjoyed this story and narration the best. I really like the women characters in her books, they are all real.
I’ve read some of the other reviews and all I have to say, is if you’re looking for a totally realistic story line, then romance novels aren’t for you. Also, some of the reviews say that the men in these books are a little too Neanderthal, macho, and dominating. Of course they are, they’re all Special Forces! But all the men treat the lead female character with respect and I appreciate that.
This book does have some explicit sex in it, but again, it’s a romance novel so don’t expect anything more.
It’s a good story line and it is the first in a series. If you like romance novels and a good adventure story rolled into one....you will enjoy this book.

Eh, it's ok.

All the men seemed to be a little neanderthal-ish.
The book moved along slowly. It seemed the team seamed to be good at what they did, but only in the beginning and the end.

Storyline ok.. writing was horrible

got through the whole thing because the storyline kept you wanting to know what would happen. the sex writing could be alot more intellectual. Dont get me wrong, I love good sex scenes, 50 Shades is one of my favorites, if written well but unintelligent wording is just laughable for a suspense romance.

Captivating plot

Loved it!! Great storyline and wanted to continue listening even when I had other things needing done

The narrator ruined it...

I listened to the Audible version via KU and I think that may have been a big part of the problem. The narrator was so distracting I couldn't even finish listening. She would often suck in a breath at the end of sentences and it became very annoying. Additionally, to the point where I gave up there are a LOT of male voices and only one female. I’m not sure why they opted for a female narrator because she was stretched to create unique voices for all these men and many became odd, nasally, or otherwise grating. Minimally they should have had a male narrator or preferably dual narrators.

Stoker is hit or miss for me so I keep trying each new series. I’ll walk away from this for a while and maybe try the ebook once I won’t have this narrator in my head while reading.

Kept me on my toes! Great story!

Allye and Gray met in less than ideal circumstances, but you could feel the chemistry between them from the very beginning. This story was action packed and kept me on my toes. I knew it was coming and was hoping it wouldn't and yet it was a total thrill ride.

Allye is so well written. She has led an awful life, but has made the most of it and is such a positive person. I loved how strong she was and could see why Gray fell so hard for her. She is the perfect heroine. And of course, Gray, he is an awesome badass who I loved watching fall hard for Allye. This was a great read and I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

The narrator was really good and I thought added a lot to the story. I would have enjoyed listening to a guy as Gray, but it was very well done.

Fantastic New Series

Defending Allye by the very talented Susan Stoker was one fantastic start to a new series. This was a story with intrigue, suspense, drama and love. All I can say is wow couldn’t stop listening to the talented Stella Bloom she along with Susan Stoker’s writing brought this story to life and kept me on the edge of my seat and made me want more. The characters are strong, smart and definitely sexy. Ms. Bloom made it easy to fall for these amazing people. Gray is on a mission for the Mountain Mercenaries to rescue Allye Martin who has been abducted. This is where the real danger and excitement begins. I absolutely loved and recommend this great book

Defending Ally’s

I enjoyed this. The beginning the middle and the end. Grayson was impressive! When he and Allye first met. Kudos to both of them for being so calm and collected.

Stella Bloom does a wonderful job! I loved how she did Graysons voice.
