    About this audiobook

    For Logan Anderson, moving on from a traumatic past means moving back to his hometown of Castle Rock, Colorado, to start a personal-security business with his brothers. But it’s not long before Logan runs into Grace Mason, his best friend from high school…and the woman who never answered his letters during his Army years.

    Grace was pleasantly surprised to see Logan return to Castle Rock, despite their falling-out ten years ago. Everyone always assumed they would end up together, including Grace, who had eyes only for him. But as Logan eventually escaped their town, Grace got pulled further into her family’s controlling grasp—and farther away from the man she loved.

    Now, united by scars both visible and not, the two must fight to free Grace from the suffocating hold of her family. But the Masons won’t let go easily—and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep the couple apart.

      This story really touched me, there was just something about Grace that made me ache for her. Even as the story unfolded and she gained her confidence, every time something hurt her, I wanted to make it all better. Logan was, is, the best man, partner, for her, as he felt much the same as I did, and was able to help her transition from victim to survivor. These two had been through so much, their HEA attempted to be thwarted, but they could not be stopped. Loved it for them, loved their story <3

      small town trouble

      Logan & Grace have long history, it’s plenty messy from his abusive mother to her controlling equally disfunctional family.
      Feels like a good start to Ace Security series, sadly there’s no ties to other Stoker World series yet. As with prior series, there’s strong character building.
      One thing that was disappointing was the attitude expressed that hacking was Sci Fi and not relevant to security, seemed short sighted and closed minded, guess we’ll see how that plays out.

      I've kinda gotten addicted to Susan Stoker books and already have finished quite a few but I have to admit this one was hard to listen to. I gave it 5 stars because like other books it's very good but in this book the subject of emotional abuse is a particularly hard subject. I hate anything to do with emotional, mental abuse, manipulation, gaslighting etc, I'm not a religious person but I truly believe that the body may recover some from physical abuse, mental emotional abuse doesn't only damages the mind it also fractures the soul and that is a hard one to recover from. Especially when the abuse comes from a close family member like a parent. As always Stoker deals with the subject well and with sensitivity but though it's good I'm not sure will ever listen to it again!

      Claiming Grace by Susan StokerBook #1: Ace Security SeriesSource: NetgalleyMy Rating: 4½/5 starsMy Review: Hello, Susan Stoker and welcome to my world!! As you already figured out, Claiming Grace was my first Susan Stoker read, and holy hell, am I glad I started here!!As the story opens, the three Anderson boys, Logan, Blake, and Nathan are standing beside their father’s grave lamenting not only their loss, but the unfortunate circumstances of their shared lives. The boys and their father, Ace, spent a lifetime suffering physical abuse at the hands of their wretched mother. Ace’s death was the result of her madness reaching a horrifying conclusion which has left Anderson boys orphaned and looking for a way to help others in situations much like their own. Out of tragedy is born Ace Security, a firm dedicated to helping abuse victims in a wide variety of ways including personal protection, court appearance companions, and rescue should the situation call for it. Never, in a thousand lifetimes could the boys imagine how in demand their services will be and how close to home they will be working. Coming home wasn’t something Logan Anderson ever saw himself doing, but the chance to reconnect and work with his brothers was too hard to resist. Additionally, coming home means once again seeing Grace, the woman who broke his heart a decade ago. As a teenager, Logan fell hard for Grace and thought she had done the same with him. Time, distance, and a slew of unanswered letters proved otherwise. Seeing Grace again, as a beautiful and curvy woman, is more than Logan could have every hoped for, but talking to her is a cat of a different color. He doesn’t understand how and why Grace abandoned him so many years ago, and the only way he’s going to find out is if he talks to her. Swallowing his pride isn’t easy, but getting answers is worth it. The answers Logan gets from Grace and her only two friends not only disturb him, but cause him to reevaluate his definition of abuse. As it turns out, Grace has been living her life in fear, in fear of her parents, their harsh words, and threats to the safety of herself and her two friends. Every aspect of Grace’s life, from the moment she was born has been monitored, controlled, and abused by her parents. Any attempt to free herself from their control has resulted in limited physical violence and threats her well-connected, wealthy parents could certainly pull off. Getting away from them is of the highest priority and it’s going to take the help of Logan, his brothers, and her two friends to see to Grace’s safety and security. The Bottom Line: Holy crap did I LOVE this book!! From the beginning to the end, which I managed in one sitting, I was wrapped up, consumed by this read. All three Anderson brothers are yummy, nerdy, sexy, and honorable which makes their chosen profession so very appropriate. While the book contains information about all three brothers, Claiming Grace is Logan’s story, and what a story it is. Logan must readjust his thinking and call on all his resources to save Grace which creates a real sense of evolution in his character. Grace is likeable character, especially when she takes control of her own life, but this story was all about Logan for me. Grace is a nice compliment to Logan and enhances his character and his life. I see these two being the nucleus of the group as the series continues and each only getting stronger as the series continues.
