Deserving Ryleigh

The Refuge, Book 7

De: Susan Stoker

Narrado por: Mackenzie Cartwright, Jason Clarke

Leaving wasn’t an option. She had to stay to protect everything, and everyone, she’d grown to love. Especially him.

Ryleigh Lodge has secrets. Her new friends, the men and women at The Refuge, already know that for months she lied about her name, her hacking skills, and how she got the job in the first place. But there’s one last secret. One so explosive, it could cost her everything…her friends, her new home…the man she’s been falling for since the day she arrived at The Refuge. Not that she hasn’t already ruined any chance with Tiny. Fact is, she should have left a long time ago. Now Ry’s brought evil to their door—and she’s the only one who can stop it. Leaving is no longer an option.

Spencer “Tiny” Denny has trust issues. And no one can blame him; even if he hadn’t seen his fair share of hell as a former Navy SEAL, the last time he loved a woman, he barely escaped the relationship with his heart intact—figuratively and literally. He should’ve known the pull he felt toward Ryleigh was too good to be true. So the second he heard about her lies, he put her on lockdown, watching her like a hawk and treating her like the enemy…until he discovered her actions were borne of deep fear. Now Tiny’s keeping her close for different reasons. Partly to keep her safe…and partly because his feelings for her have only grown stronger.

When the threat that’s been hunting Ryleigh for ten long years finally makes a move, for the first time in her life, she’s not fighting alone. Tiny’s got her back, and with his love and support, she’s ready to do battle…for their friends, their found family, and for The Refuge.

Deserving Ryleigh is the 7th and final book in The Refuge Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

another great series comes to an end.

As always another great story. I always love and am sad to see the end of a series. it is so great to see how everyone in the series ends up as well as a last great new couple.

The refuge is my very favorite series

I love the entire series but this book was the most heartfelt of them all. Ryleigh's brother coming to the rescue was a wonderful twist. yeah the dad had to die, I was cheering What? Miracle healed all the sorrows in Ryleighs story. Thank you!!

Romance

loved how the male character, Tiny, turned himself around and started treating Ryleigh better. Always nice to see a character admit a mistake, own it, and change for the better.

The whole story

This was the last book in the series and it was the best. Susan Stoker rocks! The narrators were amazing. McKenzie Cartwright and Jason Clarke are two of my favorite narrators.

oh my god

Love this series, lots going on the edge of your seat. Sorry to see the series end

Every book so far

You really can't go wrong with a Susan Stoker book series! I have enjoyed the Refuge books and have even got my husband into them as well! Any series that I already listened to and he hadn't, I had to re listen to them and I was okay with that.

Tiny & Ryleigh

<strong>Tiny & Ryleigh</strong>

Susan Stoker has never disappointed me and this book is no exception! I have been anxiously anticipating this one. Ryleigh has been at the Refuge and helping everyone for a while. I’m so happy to get her story and see her own happily ever after come to life. So good! I am so happy now. And I think it may be time for a reread of the Seal of Protection series! So happy to visit with old friends!

This narrator duo was amazing. They are definitely both favorites of mine so that made the audio version even better!

Good End to “The Refuge” Series

I loved that each of the guys were from different types of military and/or public service jobs. Each book brought a different type of story line. Each of the females were strong in their own way which makes interesting characters. Great epilogue that brought all the characters legacy’s together. Great job Susan!

Happiness

I enjoyed everything about this book, about this series. And I might be a little biased because, oh my gosh it takes place in NEW MEXICO, my state.
Susan doesn’t know how to create a bad story, her talent is a gift.

Exciting story

I devoured Deserving Ryleigh by Susan Stoker all in one day and what a great way to end the series. The story was exciting with non-stop action without missing a beat. I really enjoyed Tiny and Ryleigh together and I loved how kind and smart Ryleigh was throughout this book. I enjoyed seeing the friendships at the Refuge and loved seeing some favorite characters make cameo appearances. Narrators Jason Clarke and MacKenzie Cartwright were fantastic bringing the characters and this story to life. I’ve loved The Refuge series and it will be one I re-listen to again.
