The Senator's Daughter

Heritage #3

by Ciana Stone, Amy Brantley (Editor)

There are choices to be made in life and often it means choosing between what you want and what you feel is the right thing to do. The Walker family understands that. So does the love of Russell Walker's life, Naomie Taylor. Maybe she understands it better than any of them.

She'd do anything she can to help someone she loves, even if she disagrees with with them. Like Senator Walker's daughter, Amber. As far as Naomie is concerned, she owes Amber and she always repays a debt. The problem is, this one might get them in a mess no one can extricate them from.

Amber has her sights set on an FBI agent, John Rushing. The problem is, John has a thing for someone else. A woman who is on the wrong side of the law, but who lights a fire in him like nothing he's ever experienced.

The Senator's Daughter, an FBI agent, a criminal and a woman trying to repay a debt and not lose the man she loves in the bargin. What could possibly go wrong?

Everything.

Unravelling the mysteries❣️

The first two books of this series focus on the Walker family based at the ranch mainly, but this book takes place in Washington DC and jumps to the Walker ranch occasionally. Much like the first two books Naomie and Russell are a prominent couple, but Amber takes up a bit as well as her parents.

I really enjoyed this series, one of the mysteries I guessed very early on but doubted myself until it was revealed😁 This story is suspenseful, full of twists and turns at the highest levels, some action and some heartbreak 💔 I did like that some of the characters had such loyalty and honour and were honest about actions that they’d undertaken...I won’t say more without spoilers😜 I’m now wondering if there will be more on the Walker family and if we will learn more about Riggs as he’s only featured a little in this series...?

Thank you to Ciana for my advanced copy for which I voluntarily leave my honest review💕

Excellent Read

Another excellent and masterful storyline bringing forward characters that you can almost see and feel. So many facets to the development of the storyline made it a book that I had difficulty putting down for even a moment. Another great installment in this excellent series.

[Heidi Lynn’s BookReviews · Rating 5 out of 5]

First, I want to thank Ciana Stone for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

I am so glad that Ciana Stone is back with another installment in her Heritage Series! The Senator’s Daughter is an incredibly different take on the fairy tale Robin Hood. Mix that up with mystery, suspense, incredible sex scenes (Ciana is the queen of this talent), investigations, and many twists you don’t see coming-and you have a must-read book. The best book in the series in my eyes.

Being that this is a series I highly suggest you read this in order so you don’t get lost. Ciana updates you in beginning on what some of the characters have been up to since the last book. She even gives you a recap of what happened in the last book incase you needed your memory jogged.

As I stated earlier this book is a different take on the fairy tale Robin Hood. Well…Ciana made Robin Hood be a woman. Wrap your head around that one! A very incredibly sexy alluring Robin Hood who did steel from the rich and gave to the poor. However, in the modern-day way. It was a very unique and very clever storyline that kept me on my toes. In the end I was quite shocked to find out who she really was.

Not only was the Investigation Hood going on but there was another one going on as well. This case with the surgeon was incredibly fascinating to me as it was something out a psychological thriller book/movie I would watch or read. Totally freaky, interesting, yet my heart went out to the families of the victims that were affected by this. This was definitely one sick man who was doing this to innocent people!

I couldn't help but smile ear to ear when I read Ciana's special thanks to her wonderful group of readers section of the book. Reading that we are all dear to her-and-she thanks us with all her heart-makes what I do so much more rewarding.

Not What I Expected And Yet The Outcome Is...♥🔥💥♥🔥💥

Another ride that leave you breathless as you journey with the Walker Family and friends!!! I have to admit Ciana ripped my heart out and I bawled like a starving baby during more than one episode in this story, but she built it back up stronger than before. There are more than one storyline going but it meshes together so well as you get lost in the happenings you can't help but turn the page to see what is going to throw a wrench into the happiness. Secrecy, evil, danger, love, blackmail and loyalty are just a few things exposed in this story but how far is one willing to go for power or to prove their love can be underestimated by the wrong person. I'm sooooooo glad Russell finally made the right choice to show Naomie what she truly meant to him....but did he really have to mess up AGAIN??? I know Ciana has reasons only she can understand why or how a story plays out and what happens next, I can only soak up her words like a sponge to water and hydrate my mind. Some things play out differently than I expected but it doesn't deter from the final outcome...explosive. I was happy to see the appearance of Wiley, Riggs and Linc and their help in the sensitive situation getting the senator's daughter away from true evil. I am confident we will see Naomie, Russell, and quite a few other Walker family and friends in the future that I'm smiling while I write this. Can't wait for Riggs to tell his story and hopefully John will get one too. I definitely recommend this book along with the entire collection from Ciana Stone. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book and purchased a copy for my favorites collection. It's tough not giving spoilers but you'll just have to read to get the full impact.

I would give this 4.5 or 5 stars stars. If there had been an epilogue.

I enjoyed this series, and I am not 100% sure it is over. No worries. This book did not end in a cliffhanger. The loose ends were tied up for the most part. It just seems like there may be more stories from the Heritage Ranch.

There were some subplots that were wrapped up in a neat little bundle much more quickly than I anticipated. I honestly thought there would be more detail surrounding them, for example, the Petrov and Delaney situation.

I really liked Naomie's character. She was tough, strong, intelligent, kind, and generous. Yet, at the same time, she was a little broken and vulnerable. I liked Russ when he finally got his head on straight and was able to offer her the love and support she needed.

I did not care for the Senator's daughter, the Senator's wife, or the "Hood" at all. I would like to say more, but I'm trying to avoid having to do a spoiler alert. I was very glad John ended up handling things as he did.

There was a good amount of deception, secrecy, and suspense. I had a suspicion about one aspect of the book, and it was confirmed later on. Some of Naomie's more clandestine activities allowed crossover characters to appear like Wiley & Linc, from the Heartbreaker &Heroes series, and Riggs.

I did enjoy reading this book. Once I got started, I read straight through to the HEA at the end. Like I said earlier, I can still envision stories left to be told in this series. I guess we will have to wait and see.

I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy received from the author.

I want to be clear, I really do like this book, but a couple of the characters I just do not like. It’s not the fault of the story, which is great, or the characterizations, which are spot on; it’s that they are just not very likeable people. Because of this I had trouble feeling connected to their part of the story. However, it didn’t stop me from devouring every word, feeling anxious for what was to come or the despair of a broken heart, and ultimately rejoicing when all is said and done at the end. I believe the real issue for me is I don’t like bullies or people who act selfishly at others’ expense, so I tend to distance myself from those types. But it’s the “in your face” realness of this storyline that keeps you fascinated and holds your attention from beginning to end, and desperate for the next adventure for the Walker family because I have a feeling there's more to come, and I can’t wait!

[Sharon Grow · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book three in the Heritage series. I don’t know if this is the conclusion to the series, but if so, the author has done a wonderful job of tying the various story threads together. Richard Walker, a United States Senator, is planning to run for president and when his family is threatened with obviously faked photos, Naomie will do what is necessary to take down the person that is threatening the family. Petrov is furious that his plans to force the Walker family to sell him land has failed. He has since ingratiated himself with Russell Walker’s daughter, Delaney. Meanwhile, Richard’s daughter, Amber, is involved in plans of her own that may, if discovered, harm the family. There is suspense, intrigue at the highest levels and romance…this book it all. An exciting and intriguing story of the many facets of this powerful family. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the author. (by paytonpuppy)

[Eileen McCall · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this entire series and am now anxiously waiting for the next installment! Naomie and Amber are working so hard to put the Russian bad guy in a position that he can’t recover from. But Amber (Senator Richard Walker’s daughter) is also playing a dangerous game with FBI Agent John Rushing – someone who she has fallen head over heels in love with as well. The twists and turns, heavy suspense and mystery in this tome, make it almost impossible to put down! WOW! Are Naomie and Russell Walker going to make it? How about Amber and John? Then we also have Russell’s daughter who is with the Russian, even though we know the hell he put Naomie through several years ago. Can she be rescued? The characters in this entire series are wonderful and many are larger than life, but have quirks and attitudes that make them eminently relatable. WONDERFUL!

[Annette · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fair warning, I read this straight through, once I got started, I couldn't stop and was up to 1am. Very intense and emotional, had my stomach in knots of anticipation. 😊 Love Naomie, first of all, she is a genius, dedicated, brave, has a big heart and is such a special sacrificial person that always gives 100%. Russell is so cocky and full of pride; I think he's a good family man but it just always seemed like he just wasn't as 100% driven to be in a committed relationship with Naomie. The drama was jaw-droppingly shocking and sad, although I realize that all that does shed more light to some of the mysteries in the series but Naomie has endured so much that I really wanted her story to have more happy moments. Fascinating story from beginning to end. Love Riggs, can't wait for his story. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the author.

In the name of love

Nobody is who they're supposed to be. Amber is The daughter of a senator, soon to be President - elect. But she leads a secret life as a cyber criminal. Anne's mother, Sharon Walker, is the Attorney General. She's also the mastermind behind a number of black ops. Then there's Naomi Taylor, a brilliant scientist, who is actually the mastermind behind some major espionage coups. Put them all together, stir, and watch the sparks fly.
When you see the name Ciana Stone in the credits you know you're about to spend a lot of time curled up with a book (or e-reader). She weaves a magical web that pulls you into late night sessions, waiting weeks (sometimes months) for the next chapter, and ruing the end while hoping that the characters you have become so involved with will find their way into the next saga. Thank you Ms. Stone!

ARC for honest review with no compensation

The Senator’s Daughter is book 3 in the Heritage series by Ciana Stone and another awesome addition to this series! These books flow from from to the other seamlessly, keeps you on your toes, suspenseful, secrets and is full of twists and turns...

Love how Ciana recaps what has happened in the prior books to lead us into the new one...FBI agent John Rushing is determined to figure out who the Hood is, realizes it’s a woman and through her journals he fall for the mysterious woman...

Amber Walker, the Senator’s daughter has secrets, wants John and will do what is necessary to have him...

What happens next is so not what I expected...questions answered but more keep coming....

[Anita Fuhrmann · Rating 5 out of 5]

So much happened in this book it was a little hard to keep track of everyone and everything! I certainly hope we continue to keep up with this incredible family. I know all the loose ends seem to be tied up and there were a lot of HEA's but I can't help but feel Ciana has more in store for this family and I for one can't wait to find out if that is true!!

Anytime I pick up a book written by Ciana Stone I know that I am about to get my mind blown! It doesn't matter what series it is from since we often get to see characters from all the series make cameo appearances and I really love how she always seems to have them seamlessly blend into the story-line!

Naomie is front and center as she and Russ are finally together, or are they? Naomie must go to Washington to help Russ's niece Amber, but she can't tell him why. So with an ultimatum if she goes, and a broken heart when she does, will they ever find their way back to each other? Other family members make appearances as the intrigue of Naomie's op brings things to a conclusion with Petrov. There is so much suspense, deceptions, and wonderful characters involved, both past and present, it makes this one a real page turner. I did find it sad that Naomie had to make a choice and give up Russ, without giving him reasons, but finding their HEA was worth it in the end. **I was gifted "The Senator's Daughter" and voluntarily give my opinion based on my reading.**

[Patricia Baxes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Without a doubt, magic flows from Ciana Stone’s pen. Everything she gifts us with is wonderful and magical and amazing and all the other words you can think of. The Senator’s Daughter is Book 3 in the Heritage Series—and it’s a stunning story. The storyline is magnificent; the characters are so real you see them from the corner of your eye; and the plot twists and turns...Ohmigod. There’s danger and intrigue and lies; but there is also the greatest gift of all—love. The HEA literally will take your breath away. You definitely need to add this one to your TBR list!
(I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and and absolutely loved it.) ❤️❤️

📒🗞 This is intriguing, suspenseful and entertaining. There are many facets to this story, there's the family drama, the bad guy take down and ongoing romances. The pace of the story is fairly fast, there is hardly anything that is unnecessary for the story taking up space. Once you get into the story, you'll have a hard time putting the book down. Ciana's stories are always intriguing, romantic and gripping. I can't wait for the next book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion.

[Cheryl Drake johnson]

Naomi puts her life on the line for her man's family while her friend and the Senator's daughter seems to be stalking and seducing an FBI agent while playing a deadly game. Russell seems to be at odds with Naomi and turns his back on her after an ultimatum. But when he finds out about what happened to Naomi he puts on his big boy pants and handles the situation. Characters were wonderful and story line intriguing. I was given an Advance Readers Copy as a gift from the author without obligation. I am providing an honest review.

The Senator's Daughter
Ciana Stone

I love this series. Always explosive action, adventure, romance and drama. I never want this series to end. You definitely need to read these books in order of the series or you'll be lost.
Naomie is on the hunt. The hunt to finish a job she knows that needs to be done to protect her families. Only at what cost? Russ is in love with Naomie and doesn't want another heart break. But with him being so stubborn, will he be able to make a stand a fight for what he wants?

[Denise · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this one you will get surrounding by the characters that will pull you into their world. Once there you have to see where you are taken with the drama building waiting to explode. Naomie still takes a lead with Amber doing so also. The mystery still plays but some answers give a breath. Suspense comes from the high and lows with as this one unfolds we are lost into flow soaking up every step. Even though your heart is guarded it will still get a crack because just like life there is sometimes alittle rain. This will leave you with a lasting impression.

Another great book by this author. I really enjoy immersing myself in her world. I liked the characters and enjoyed watching the saga play out throughout the pages of this book. I think others would really enjoy reading this series as well. I like that it started where the last book left off. I also enjoyed the balance of drama and romance in the story. One thing is for sure I will continue reading her books as long as she writes them.

I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
This book is a continuation of the Walker family series.
There was so much going on, but it was fascinating.
Naomie wants to help, but how ?
Amber is playing a dangerous game.
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can't wait for the next book in this series.

[Susan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this Heritage series of stories. Is is over? I think there could be more to come with this rich cast of characters, many of whom are lovable, admired - but a couple I loved to hate. Two of those the books namesake, the senators daughter and her mother; both selfish and bullies.
This series caused me anguish, tears and then finally a HEA. There is plenty of mystery and steamy scenes too.
You are missing a great read if you miss this series!!

[Vivian Chrisman · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is what I enjoy....

This type of story is what I enjoy about Ms. Stone's writing. This story has plenty of twists, turns, mystery and heartbreak. Like I said...a true story by Ms. Stone. The characters and plot keep you so engaged that you don't realize how long you've been reading until it's the end of the book. Besides...who needs sleep?!?

Finally, we find out what happens with Amber, Naomie and Russ.

Lets just say if it could go wrong and it did. The story will grab your attention and imagination while the characters will either make you love or hate them.

Family is just as treacherous or loving as they can be. By the time the book ends you may want to see a few people walk off a short plank never to return.

Amber's story is a welcome addition to the Heritage Series.

[Sue · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another exceptional read. Not surprised by Sharon's attitude toward Naomi and of course Amber is Sharon's daughter. Two peas in a pod. Dealing with politics there is always lies and deception. I'm beginning to wonder if Naomi and Russell will ever be together. What will tear them apart next. Naomi always does what's right and pays for it in the end.

[Patricia · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good addtion to the series

Wow. Lots of twists and turns I didn't see coming. Good suspense and intrigue.

A very bumpy road for the Walkers but thungs do work out for some, not so much for others.

I REALLY REALLY hope Riggs story is coming.. he deserves a HEA too, but I just want more of the Heritage Walkers!!

The third book in this series is action packed and full of emotional drama. Characters from the previous books make appearances interacting with the main characters in this one. Lots of twists and turns to get to the HEA.

Drama and intrigue

This series gets better and better. Ms. Stone is a master of moving facts and information to propel the storyline. Loved the intrigue sub plots and information that is scarily like today's politics in Washington. What's next?

[Nancy Long · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amber

Amber becomes a Robin Hood going against companies giving back to people. She helped Naomi and makes her feel guilty because she helped her. This story has a happy ever after but it has a story of greed and someone who loves with all her heart.
