Veena’s review of Claiming Sarah (Ace Security, Book 5) by Susan Stoker
Romantic Suspense published by Montlake Romance 10 Sep 19
I recently discovered Ms. Stoker and have been reading a lot of her books. When I picked this book up, I didn’t realize that it belongs to yet another series that I haven’t read any books in. These stories are a quick read with a good does of action, adventure, and a lot of romance. The last thing frightened Sarah Butler needs is a self-defense trainer who can’t be bothered to make time for her. Fortunately, Cole Johnson quickly realizes his mistake and follows her to the parking lot and makes good on teaching her all the right moves. He also brings his friends at Ace Security into the loop, even though they originally referred Sarah to him rather than taking on her case directly.
Sarah is a nurse who is being stalked. Her admirer leaves her gifts, and, despite all the profiling and bodyguarding, neither Cole nor the guys at Ace Security can find their stalker, even though they have their suspicions. It’s not until Sarah is kidnapped that Cole realizes how much she means to him and that he will stop at nothing to rescue her.
Be prepared to get emotionally vested in this story and to fall in love with the characters and then go back and purchase the backlist of all the stories in this series.
Grade: A
Summary:
Sarah Butler isn’t flattered. She’s angry and unnerved. She’s been getting intimate gifts from a man she barely knows. Nothing threatening yet, but there’s just a weird vibe she can’t ignore. Her recourse is Ace Security. Their solution: self-defense lessons at Rock Hard Gym with a personal, hands-on instructor. One look at the bearded, tattooed, green-eyed alpha is enough to take Sarah’s breath away.
Cole Johnson is definitely the man for the job. He’s eager to train her. Eager to get closer. And when it comes to Sarah’s instincts, Cole knows she’s not imagining things. He’s also not imagining the intense attraction between them—and his desire to protect her is growing. But so are Sarah’s fears, the worst of which come true when she disappears.
Enlisting the help of Ace Security, Cole will stop at nothing to find the love of his life…before she vanishes forever.
