Samantha Jacobs is just trying to lead an average life. Her family has always been in the spotlight, and she’s tired of all the unwanted attention. She decides to work as an assistant at Williams & Company, a private security firm that specializes in protecting families and employees for major corporations. But after an affair, unplanned pregnancy, and tragedy upset her escape for normalcy, Sam runs back home to her parents for what she hopes is safety.

Jason Morgan, a retired Navy SEAL, is second in command at Williams & Company. He’s the special-ops person that’s called upon to rescue people from dangerous situations. Jason’s world is turned upside down after a failed mission leads to him being held captive by drug lords in South America. Once freed, he endures a long road to recovery, both physically and emotionally.

New tragedies catch up to Sam even as she attempts to outrun them. She must team-up with Jason and Williams & Company to uncover the facts surrounding her mother’s untimely death.

As Sam and Jason get closer to the truth, can Jason overcome the memories of his capture, and can Sam handle everything that’s been revealed before it overwhelms her?

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Military Romance
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2016

Mysterious car accidents, strange voices in the night, ex-Navy SEALs... This book has it all! Never Lose Hope is a contemporary military romance, but it's also a suspenseful thriller. The plot was fast paced and easily held my interest from start to finish. I was up reading until 1:30am!

The characters were complex, strong, and very likable. Jason and Jefferson are ex-Navy SEALs, now operating their own private security company. Samantha (Sam) is Jefferson's personal assistant and the daughter of a wealthy businessman. When Jefferson's wife walks out on him, a relationship develops between Jefferson and Sam, and Sam finds herself unexpectedly pregnant. Then Jefferson's wife returns, and the three hatch a plan to pretend the baby is actually Jason's. The odds seem stacked against any lasting relationships. What will become of Sam and the baby? And who is behind all of the sudden deaths surrounding Jacobsen Industries? Can Jason protect Sam, or will his PTSD overcome him?

This was my first book by Anne Stone and the first book in the Williams & Company series. Anne Stone has really wowed me with her writing! I look forward to the rest of the Williams & Company series!

I’ve read several books by Anne Stone, and have enjoyed all of them. Never Lose Hope is another story that has more real life than dream life in it. Bad things do happen, spouses die, our children sometimes die before us, but hope is what keeps us going after these things happen. The hope that comes from knowing we will see them again someday. I love happy endings, but I also believe in some reality thrown in and that’s what you get with this book and her other books also. A great read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Brimming with heart and a whole lot of mystery!!
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2016
Samantha Jacobs has always been surrounded by wealth and privilege, and while she is thankful for the life she had growing up, in recent years it has become so overwhelming that she needs a break from it. So she decides to relocate and find a way to separate herself from it for a while, even going as far as to change her name in hopes of keeping the vultures that feed off of her families fame and notoriety at bay. She takes on a job as a assistant at a security firm, and soon finds herself falling for her employer, never expecting anything to come from it, but with his marriage fastly approaching divorce things between the begin to heat up. She begins to think things in her life might just be looking up until things in her life take a very unexpected turn, and she's left shattered and alone, so she decides it might be time to return home where things are safe...or so she thinks!

Retired Navy SEAL Jason Morgan has found a way to put his training to good use by working at Williams & Company providing security to those who find themselves stuck in dangerous situations. Coming to the aide of those in need is fulfilling work, and makes him feel like he has a purpose in life, gives him something to look forward to, especially since he doesn't really have any family of his own to care for. But when a mission goes wrong, and he finds himself in the hands of some dangerous people he begins to put his faith into the face of angel that he works alongside at Williams and Company. Sam has always been a good friend to him, and before he left he began to realize he may have feelings for her, but now with nothing else to look forward to returning to he begins to start envisioning a life with her when he's finally able to return home. She is his saving grace, the one thing keeping him alive right now and he wants nothing more than to return home to her and tell her how he feels about her... question is will she be there when he gets home?

From the moment I started this story it took a hold of me and had me on the edge of my seat flying the through pages, it was so addictive! Every time I wasn't reading it I found myself thinking about it and wondering how things would turn out for all those involved, and wondering who would get the girl. I will admit it wasn't as steamy as the books that I have been reading as of late, but with that being said not all reads have to have a overwhelming steam factor to be considered romantic, this one had a intense feeling factor that kept the romance alive throughout. The story line was inventive and had a nice flow to it, and kept me guessing right up until the very end! I can tell a lot of time and care went into the character development, they were described so well that I was able to visually picture them as I was reading the story and got a good feel for each one of them. Overall I would say it was a very enjoyable first read, and I am certain that I will be checking out more books from this author in the very near future!

If you life your fairy tales brimming with mystery and heart then I suggest you give this read a try, it is sure to warm your heart and keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through!!

3.0 out of 5 stars OK
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2016
I received Never Lose Hope as an ARC. I voluntarily reviewed. I liked majority of the story line, In the beginning I just wanted to slap Sam. I know she went through horrible events but I just did not like her. She did get better. I also did not feel that she would be that buddy, buddy with her ex boss given their past and how it all played out. I do not feel like the book had proper flow. It was hard to stay focused and I continually found other things to do rather than read.. Maybe I am too picky.
