** This story examines the stark reality of dogfighting and other animal abuse, and includes brief descriptions that may be unpleasant for some readers.*** <--- Keep that in mind when you consider whether or not to read the book. Some scenes are not pretty and some might find them very disturbing. The animal abuse was heartbreaking and made me wonder what kind of monsters do stuff like that to animals.

Here is a brief introduction to the book. Securing Sidney is the second book in the SEAL of Protection: Legacy series by Susan Stoker. Each book can be read as stand-alone, but when it comes to SS you want to read all the books in the series. I loved the book! I always do when it comes to this author. What was surprising is that Sidney had not gone through something horrible at the beginning of the book and actually was the one doing the rescue, even if she was saving Hannah who is a dog. Sidney's story is not pretty in so many ways and it explains the motivations behind her actions, so I couldn't stay mad her even when she did some not so smart things.

The only problem I had with the book is the way it started. It was very abrupt and it felt like a continuation rather than the very first chapter of a story, which threw me off. I was not a fan of everything that had to do with the warning above, but it made the story more realistic and it's a great way to motivate people to learn more about animal shelters and animal abuse.

Do I need to comment on the rest of the book? Because SS is one of the handful of authors whose books I adore no matter what. I love her male characters because they are protective, caring and loving and they are not your average male characters. Sidney was a good heroine with a big heart who is not afraid to do anything she can in order to help the poor animals. I couldn't be more satisfied with the main (and the secondary I might add) characters and I liked the romance.
