Protecting Addison

SEAL of Protection: Alliance, Book 5

De: Susan Stoker

Narrado por: Savannah Richards, Ryan West, Noel Harrison

She never expected a marriage of convenience to give her everything she ever wanted…love, family, happiness. But a threat from her past could change everything.

When Addison Wentz agreed to a marriage of convenience, she thought it was a reasonable, rational decision. After all, her new husband was already a friend of sorts. He’s also kind, respectful—and a badass Navy SEAL with excellent health insurance, which she desperately needs for her 12-year-old daughter, Ellory. In exchange for coverage, she’ll help Ricky foster three small children from the Ukraine. But just a month into their arrangement, Addison also discovers that Ricky’s sweet, supportive, a wonderful father to all four kids…and the sexiest man she’s ever met. Suddenly, she’s in danger of doing the one thing not allowed in her situation: falling in love with her husband.

Ricardo “MacGyver” Douglas thought his fake marriage was a win-win. Addison got healthcare for her daughter, and he got a mother for the three children he hopes to adopt. Never in a million years did think he’d be lucky enough to choose the one woman who’s actually perfect for him in every way. Addison’s an amazing mother, a savvy businesswoman, a supportive Navy wife…and she turns him on with a single glance in his direction. The ink’s barely dry on their marriage license before there’s no longer anything “fake” about his feelings for his new wife. But how to convince her that he wants to change their arrangement into something very real?

Addy and MacGyver are barely beginning to explore what could be, when her past rears its ugly head, bringing a little more chaos into their lives…and attempting to break up their newfound family for good.

**Protecting Addison is the 5th book in the SEAL of Protection: Alliance Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

All the stories are great!

just have one thing Susan should think about... maybe don't have the man say after forcing her to cum..... its the Forcing word that is sounding a little bit controlling

Their chemistry was amazing.

This book shows you that family doesn’t have to be blood. Sometimes blood doesn’t make you family.

Another hit!

I found myself fully absorbed into this exciting love story. Macgyver and his 3 rescued children fall in love with Addison and her daughter making this such a beautiful, emotional story of finding family. I loved his devotion to these children and Addisons strength. This book was intense at times and swoony at others. Definitely a 5 star listen!! Narration was the icing on the cake. They did fantastic.

The characters' confidence really blossomed in this book

I loved this story as I always enjoy Susam Stoker books. The character growth and the relationships are a great journey to experience. The narration of this book are able to separate out the characters as they talk, making it easier for me to follow what was going on and who was talking in conversations.

Loved it!

I have loved all of the SEAL series! Thank you Susan! Looking forward to the next book.

Aww love this book

As always, Susan did not disappoint. The story had twists and turns and held my attention from the start to the finish. Love, MacGyver and Addison’s story this book had me laughing a lot and crying too. I have nephews who have ulcerated colitis, which is kind of like Crohn’s.

Wow

This book has everything that we have come to love about Susan Stokers books. I LOVE how many of the other characters cross books. Tex and Wolf ROCK! This story keeps you engaged for the entire book.

Loved this family

I devoured Protecting Addison by Susan Stoker and this is my favorite so far of this series. I loved the family dynamics with MacGyver, Addison, her daughter Ellory and the three Ukrainian kids. The narrators were wonderful bringing this story to life and I’ve already re-listened to this audiobook for the second time.

Addison and Ricky=Swoon!

Another great one in this series!! I love Addison and Ricky! They easily fall together and have a wonderful family! I love watching them learn together as the relationships between all sway as the story progresses. I enjoyed all the action, suspense and sweetness that is filling this book. I can’t say enough good things about these six characters! We fell for those adorable kids in the last one. Now we get 3 other characters that we come to adore. This is one to be listened to again! I was filled with love and gratitude with the kids and parents actions!

In here, as most times, we get to see the rest of the team and their significant others. They all help, aid and add fun to the story. Its so fun to see them and how their lives are progressing.

I listened to the on audio. Savannah Richards, Ryan West and Noel Harrison are the narrators. They all do an excellent job and I loved listening to all three.


I look forward to the next in the series!

The author writes a compelling story…she never disappoints.

I loved the content. Am always a Susan Stoker fan. The audio version did not hit the right notes for me. The performance was just not to my personal taste. I typically don’t do audio books by this author but the audio came out earlier than the print version and I couldn’t wait. I loved the story just not the telling.
