Force
Arabella is the lone female officer on the Great Falls Tactical Force. To prove her merit, she volunteers for a mission that turns out to be more than she bargained for. Transported to the Crazy Mountains of Montana, Arabella’s world is rocked when she’s introduced to Keepers and their Soul Sentries.
Force BlackWolf is trying to adjust to his new life in Montana. Settled in a secluded hideaway dubbed the North Fortress, Force and his brethren are relying on Skin Walkers to help them adapt. As part of that adaptation, they require training. But when the soldier delivered to the Fortress to train them turns out to be female, all hell breaks loose.
Arabella becomes Force’s responsibility and in the midst of protecting her, other emotions rush to the fore, the strongest being desire.
Unsure if love can even exist for Keepers, Force is willing to risk everything for his shot at a life with Arabella.
***
No, no, no, no, no! Nooo! Force understood what Belle was saying, and yeah, it made sense, but he didn’t want it. She was trying to keep the peace between the Keepers and the Skin Walkers because she knew trouble was already headed to the North Fortress, but how was his chance at happiness the only solution? They couldn’t separate now. He hadn’t even had a chance to make his move. Sure he’d been pissed at Maxim at first for being so stubborn, but his Soul Sentry had known something Force hadn’t. Belle was his! But now, everything was happening too quickly, and Force was struggling to keep up.
Fatal had ruined everything by inviting the Skin Walkers’ enemy to the North Fortress. Force should have predicted the move. His brother wasn’t the wait around and see if trouble comes to us kind of guy. No, Fatal had earned his name by being proactive when the rest of them would rather wait and see.
Pissed at himself for not predicting Fatal’s move, Force clenched his hands hard and tried again. “Belle stays with me.”
Everyone turned to look at him and he knew the plea was futile. Now that Maxim had returned to him, there was no reason for Monroe to keep Belle at the Estate and there was no reason for Fatal to stay.
Behind him, Fatal spoke quietly, “Priorities, brother.”
Fuck Fatal! Belle was his priority!
Belle closed the space between them and took up one of Fatal’s hands. “Don’t,” she pleaded quietly. “It’s alright. You have Maxim back and I’m…”
Eyes boring into hers, Force asked, “You’re what?”
“I’m all better.”
Nostrils flaring, Force scented her. Goddamn, she smelled like home. Turning to glare at Monroe and Fatal, he gave his attention back to Belle when she squeezed his hand. “Go do what you have to do.” She took a step closer, and her expression went all business when she demanded, “Be smart. You hear me? Be safe.” With one final squeeze, she released his hand and stepped away from him and addressed Monroe. “I’m ready.”
“Good,” Monroe snapped once he was back in human form. Turning to Fatal, Monroe’s tone was terse when he offered an insincere sounding, “Good luck.”
King and Monroe led Belle away. Watching the departure, Force fisted his hands hard to keep from rushing after Belle. Letting her leave hurt worse than being without Maxim. It hurt more than anything he’d ever experienced, and that pain led to rage. He was pissed and he didn’t know at who.

It started with a roar
This book is everything I was hoping for and so much more! As always, the characters are fantastic! I love that we got to see such a strong female character find the joy in softness, and that such a strong dominant alpha learned the hope love can bring. The author brought every bit of her writing prowess to the table when she crafted this story. There are so many layers, and I enjoyed how Stonecrow came into play. The action was high intensity and the dramatic ending left me desperate for more. This book is the perfect weekend read, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Force is a new spin off from the Skin Walkers world and although this was quite short, I really enjoyed it. One could say this was an insta-love only by the fact that the relationship developed very quickly. It's not high on steam and most of her stories aren't, but I don't mind that at all. Ms. Bliler's Hs are always very alpha, protective and although they can be bad at how to handle relationships, they become so possessive of their mate and it is wonderful.
Force's story leaves off on a cliffhanger that doesn't have to do with his and Belle's relationship, but tied with the Keepers' and Skin Walkers relationship and joint enemy. I can't wait to read more from this new series.

I looked forward to another book from this author. I don't usually read books with cliffhangers unless of course the next book is already out. Unfortunately, having been so long without anything new from this author, I started it without noting the reviews. At least this book is short enough to read again when Book 2 comes out to refresh my memory.
Loved seeing more the Keepers world and ways, while keeping up with Monroe and the Skinwalkers.
Some typos and grammatical error, which are a bit uncharacteristic for this author. That being said this book has all the feels anyone would need to enjoy it.
Force was exactly that a "force". Belle was just the right human to come up against. Strong enough to stand on her own, but soft enough to give when needed.
While a bit pricey for the length, I still think it well worth your time & $$. It is a Skinwalker book after all.

Oh my gosh, this book was sooo good. I swear Susan Bliler books are soo fantastic and addicting they will have the reader craving more.
I could not get enough of this book and it had me sitting on the edge of my seat needing and craving more.. I personally hate cliffhangers, but with this one I can not wait till the next book is released... I need to know more.... what happens...
So many new characters were mentioned I really hope they get their own book. Plus I love how all my past favorite characters are always part for the new books.
This story had a sexy alpha possessive and protective Keeper, a strong beautiful woman, action, suspense, and funny parts that will make you laugh.
This is a must read.. cant wait for more

Was really looking forward to this, but...
Force is a keeper who finds his light in a human soldier, Belle, who is sent to train them in human ways. I think. It was unclear, really.
The story is a good concept and the characters are pretty well developed, but the story feels rushed. There could have been a lot more. A $4 book should take me more than an hour to read. I guess I just expected more from Ms. Bliler. I do want to read a story about Fatal, but I hope it is longer than this one.

Promising start
If you're an avid fan of the Skin Walkers, then you'll definitely like this new series focusing on the Keepers. You'll still be seeing the Skin Walkers here as they assist the Keepers integrate into the modern world.
First up, Force finds his Light.
He's the second in command to his brother, Fatal.
Can't wait for him to find his Light.
Story is fast paced and action packed. It kinda ends on a cliffhanger .. So get ready to wait foe Book 2.

And the plot thickens
Another wonderful story that I had to force myself to put down so I could sleep before work. As the book came to an end I was left with one thought in my mind “oh sh*t”.
Next book please.

Great read
This was a great read, I loved that it was easy to follow and different from skin walker series but still continued the flow.
