Blog Tour – Securing Jane by Susan Stoker

Securing Jane, an all-new must read Seal of Protection: Legacy Series Novella from New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker and 1,001 Dark Nights is available now!

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Susan Stoker comes a new story in her SEAL of Protection: Legacy Series…

Over the years, Storm North has witnessed two teams of Navy SEALs under his command find true love. He doesn’t expect the same for himself. He’s too old. Too jaded. Too set in his ways. Until a woman who’s been right in front of him for years manages to impress Storm in a way very few women—or men—ever have.

Jane Hamilton knows it’s ridiculous to have a crush on the charismatic and handsome commander. She’s the divorced mother of a twenty-six-year-old daughter. Too old for crushes. Too old for a lot of things. There’s no chance she’ll ever catch the eye of a man like Storm North.

Until someone delivers a bomb to the base.

As the civilian contractor in charge of the mail room, Jane finds herself in the direct line of fire, enduring a series of events that leads to a budding relationship with the very man she’s been longing for. She couldn’t be happier, and Storm feels the same.

The only one unhappy, in fact, is the thwarted bomber. Unhappy enough to do something drastic. Now Storm and Jane have to work together to save innocent sailors—and themselves—from an explosive situation threatening their happily ever after.

**Securing Jane is the 7th book in the SEAL of Protection: Legacy Series and a part of the 1001 Dark Nights collection. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

**Every 1,001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Read Kay’s Review: Securing Jane

Excerpt

She was sure Storm had to have a girlfriend, though he wasn’t married, as far as Jane knew. She constantly checked out his left hand for a ring. On the outside looking in, Storm North was the perfect catch, and she was…simply Jane. Plain Jane, as her ex used to call her. It was a nickname their daughter had picked up and taunted her with for most of her mean teenage years. Raising Rose by herself hadn’t been a walk in the park. At first, Jake had wanted to co-raise their daughter, but as the years went by, and he moved from one base to another, his trips to see her had become fewer and fewer. It affected Rose greatly. She’d felt abandoned, blaming her mom for the fact that her dad wasn’t around. She’d snuck out of their apartment all the time in high school and graduated by the skin of her teeth. Jane hadn’t been surprised when she’d moved out on her eighteenth birthday. There were even a few years when Jane thought she’d wake up to a knock on the door from the police, letting her know that Rose was dead of an overdose or because she’d hooked up with the wrong man. But finally, after several painful years for them both, things had at least leveled out when it came to their relationship. She was twenty-six, had a steady boyfriend—who Jane didn’t know at all—and was at least making an effort to be a little nicer. She wasn’t sure what her daughter was doing for a living, but when Rose did reach out, she was no longer begging for money. It was kind of pathetic that Jane was taking that as a good sign. In the near decade that she’d been living on her own, Jane had felt as if she’d been learning who she was as a woman. At first she’d been Jake’s girlfriend. Then his Navy wife. Then she was the woman who’d been dumped and a single mother. She’d struggled for so long and so hard that she still felt as if she was finding herself. Which was somewhat silly after half a century, but there it was. And she wanted to find love again. Find a man who would support her as much as she supported him. Wanted someone to laugh with…and do all the naughty things she’d been fantasizing about for years and years. But Storm North wasn’t that man. Jane knew it, but that didn’t mean she could stop fantasizing about him. Pushing the mail cart down the hallway, Jane felt her heart rate increase as she got closer to Storm’s office. It was silly. Ridiculous. But she felt as if she was in middle school again, about to see the boy she had a massive crush on. But Storm was no boy, that was for sure. She entered his administrative assistant’s office and smiled at the man sitting behind the desk. “Good morning,” she said cheerily. “Hi, Jane,” the young man replied with a smile. “Go on in. He’s not in a meeting.” “Thanks,” Jane told him, hoping she didn’t look as excited as she felt. She didn’t get to see Storm every day, since he was a very busy man, and whenever she did, it made her morning.

Arrow and Salem by Saffron A. Kent – Arrow and Salem have made it through a lot, but their wedding is finally here, however, Salem’s sister reaches out one last time. This short is intense. Also, for fans of this series, Saffron gives us a peek into what’s coming up. Squeeeee!!!!

Dash and Holly by Susan Stoker – A new short story that is suspenseful and steamy. It is the perfect story to be read back to back with Riley Edwards, Magic and Stella.

Review – Securing Jane: A SEAL of Protection by Susan Stoker

Securing Jane: A SEAL of Protection: Legacy Series Novella

Securing Jane: A SEAL of Protection; Legacy Series #6.5 
(A novella within a series)

Publication Date: February 9, 2021

Genre/Tropes: Military/Contemporary Romance

Author: Susan Stoker

Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars

Review/Synopsis:

Review:

I love Susan’s action and adventure novels, and this novella certainly contained heart racing moments, but what I loved even more than that was the comfortable moments in between. This relationship was about connecting on a deeper level beyond just the hot times. I really, really enjoyed this book!

Storm North and Jane Hamilton are both seasoned. While Storm had never been married, aside married to his job, Jane is once divorced and has a grown daughter. They both love their jobs and aren’t really looking to settle down, but when Storm finally notices Jane, like really notices her beyond just as another woman on base and as the mail carrier who delivers his mail, he is certainly interested.

It doesn’t take long for Storm to decide he would like to take Jane on a date, again, he’s older and I like that he doesn’t play games. I also respect that even though Jane has had a crush on Storm for quite a while, she doesn’t beat around the bush when it comes to letting him know that she is interested.

I don’t want to give away the suspense leading up to their date, but once these two get together, I absolutely loved that Stoker included having them spend time snuggling, deeply respecting that not only were they just a bit older, but that they both had high pressure jobs and might be a little tired at the end of the day. I totally understood that. Yes, Susan had seriously smexy times included, but I LOVED the realism in this book too!

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Susan Stoker, comes RESCUING MACIE, a passionate and thrilling novella from the Delta Force Heroes Series, brought to you by 1,001 Dark Nights! Grab your copy today!

About RESCUING MACIE:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Susan Stoker comes a new story in her Delta Force Heroes series…

After years of estrangement, Mercedes Laughlin has finally reconciled with her older brother. It should be the happiest time of her life, getting to know Truck and his new wife…and it would be, if an ex wasn’t causing her trouble. Add in Truck’s boss, Colonel Colton Robinson, an amazingly distracting man whom she met under embarrassing circumstances, and Macie’s got a bit more on her plate than she can handle.

From the moment they met, Colt was fascinated by Macie, and helping her through an anxiety attack at her brother’s wedding didn’t diminish the appeal. He’d do his best to sweep her off her feet, if not for a little voice telling him to tread lightly—until a frantic phone call changes the plan. Macie’s being targeted, and Colt’s determined to keep her safe while he and her brother eliminate the threat.

Colt isn’t about to let his friend lose his sister again so soon…or miss his own chance at a happy ending with Macie before they’ve barely had a beginning.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

EXCERPT:

He sat Macie gently on the counter in her bathroom. He leaned close and placed his hands on the cool tiles next to her hips and waited for her to open her eyes. It took several moments, but when she finally brought her beautiful brown eyes up to his, he wasn’t prepared for the jolt of electricity he felt.

Bringing one hand to her cheek, he was encouraged when she tilted her head and rested it on his palm. “You okay?” he asked softly.

She nodded and said, “No.”

He smiled at the contradiction. But he had a feeling she was being completely honest. “Where is your first-aid stuff?”

She lifted her head and gestured to a cabinet behind him.

Colt got to work getting the Band-Aids and hydrogen peroxide ready. When he turned around again, he had to take a deep breath. He’d purposely kept his mind off the fact that she was wearing only a tank top and a pair of short-shorts. But she’d dropped the blanket, and he couldn’t stop his eyes from tracking from her feet up her long legs to her curvy thighs. Her belly wasn’t flat, but she wasn’t overweight either. And her tits were lush and full. Even as he stared at her, he saw her nipples tighten under the cotton.

He finally looked up and saw she was examining him just as openly. Waiting until her gaze had traveled the length of his body, he finally said, “Let’s get you cleaned up so we can get out of here.”

She blushed when she looked up at him, but nodded.

Turning his thoughts away from how sexy he found her—but loving that she seemed to be just as interested in checking him out as he was her—Colt concentrated on cleaning the scrapes on her body. He put the bottle down on the counter and picked up one of her hands. The palm was scraped and red, and he hated knowing it was because she’d leapt out her fucking window into a tree. He hated every single bruise and mark on her smooth skin. Throughout his ministrations, she didn’t cry and didn’t make a sound. He knew he had to be hurting her, but she was stoic and calm as he tended to her wounds.

When he was finally satisfied that he’d cleaned the worst of her scratches, he helped her stand and wrapped the blanket back around her shoulders. “You need help packing?”

She considered his offer for a second, then shook her head. “How long will I be staying with you?”

Forever was on the tip of his tongue, but he held back the word, knowing it would stress her out…and that it was crazy.

New Release – RESCUING MACIE by Susan Stoker

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Susan Stoker, comes RESCUING MACIE, a passionate and thrilling novella from the Delta Force Heroes Series, brought to you by 1,001 Dark Nights! Grab your copy today!

About RESCUING MACIE:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Susan Stoker comes a new story in her Delta Force Heroes series…

After years of estrangement, Mercedes Laughlin has finally reconciled with her older brother. It should be the happiest time of her life, getting to know Truck and his new wife…and it would be, if an ex wasn’t causing her trouble. Add in Truck’s boss, Colonel Colton Robinson, an amazingly distracting man whom she met under embarrassing circumstances, and Macie’s got a bit more on her plate than she can handle.

From the moment they met, Colt was fascinated by Macie, and helping her through an anxiety attack at her brother’s wedding didn’t diminish the appeal. He’d do his best to sweep her off her feet, if not for a little voice telling him to tread lightly—until a frantic phone call changes the plan. Macie’s being targeted, and Colt’s determined to keep her safe while he and her brother eliminate the threat.

Colt isn’t about to let his friend lose his sister again so soon…or miss his own chance at a happy ending with Macie before they’ve barely had a beginning.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Read Kay’s Review: Rescuing Macie

EXCERPT:

Macie had no idea what Colt was doing with her brother at two-thirty in the morning, but she couldn’t deny that she was extremely grateful. She didn’t even flinch when Colt called her brother Truck. He’d apparently been given the nickname when he’d joined the Army. She was trying to remember to call him that, but because he’d been Ford to her as long as she could remember, it was tough.

And as much as she knew her brother would’ve helped her, hearing Colt’s steady voice kept her grounded. She remembered after Truck’s wedding, when she’d been having an anxiety attack, he’d held her against him and talked to her in his low, rumbly voice. How much it had helped. He’d calmed her and helped pull her out of the dark place her mind had gone.

The same was happening tonight. She’d been panicking and running headlong through the parking lot, with no idea what to do or where to go, when he’d forced her to pay attention to her surroundings. He gave her something to concentrate on, and it felt good to let him take over and tell her what to do.

She had no idea why he hadn’t called her after her brother’s wedding. He’d asked her out and she’d badly wanted to spend more time with him, but he hadn’t called. Hadn’t gotten in touch with her. His rejection had hurt, but she really wasn’t surprised. She was a pain in the ass and no one as amazing as Colt would want to be with her.

At the moment, however, she had more pressing issues to think about. Looking back toward the building, Macie didn’t see any sign of the men who’d broken into her apartment, but she could hear their footsteps. Macie ducked behind a car and dropped to her knees.

She winced but ignored the pain and crawled between a row of cars, making sure to stay out of sight. Then she lay down on her belly and crawled under one of the cars in the lot. She was wearing a tight tank top and her sleep shorts, because she hated to feel constricted by clothing when she slept.

“Macie?” Colt asked.

She opened her mouth to respond when she heard one of the men saying to his friend, “She has to be this way. We’ve checked all the other cars.”

It felt like she was having a heart attack. Her chest was tight and she couldn’t get enough air into her lungs. But she couldn’t gasp for oxygen because they’d hear her.

Macie mentally berated herself for calling her brother and not the police. If she’d called 9-1-1, they’d probably be here by now.

Review – Rescuing Macie by Susan Stoker

Rescuing Macie; Delta Force Heroes #9.5 (Series)
by Susan Stoker (Author)

This review is from: April  12, 2019 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥

I love the 1001 Dark Night novellas because they are typically a quick read. Most of the books I’ve read under this umbrella are stories that the author wants to tell, but the characters are either in an ongoing series and don’t quite have enough meat to make up a full novel, or it’s a great way for the author to introduce a new character that has a chance in a new series without having to begin a full novel all on their own.

Rescuing Macie is the perfect example of both options above. Macie and Colt are both characters who straddle two storylines and Rescuing Macie makes this a perfect place to bring two very likeable characters and two worlds into focus.

Rescuing Macie touches base with the old Delta Force world which includes Ghost, Truck, Beatle, and the rest of the force, but it also introduces us to another Delta Force currently under Colt’s command. A force of soldiers that are younger and all currently single. This is exciting news. This means a whole new set of men who have their own stories and we get to be a part of that adventure.

What’s also exciting is Macie is Truck’s sister. This means we won’t lose touch with the old Delta Force because; #1 she’s related to them and #2 Colt is the commanding officer over both units. So, if you love Stoker’s Delta Force world and are invested in them, this is a book you don’t want to miss.

Rescuing Macie may be a novella, but it is full of so much. Even though you may have met Macie and Colt in previous books, you get a deeper understanding to what makes Colt tick. This was an emotional moment between Macie and Colt and once again you understand the magic of how Stoker writes the perfect pairing for every book. Also Stoker has a way that makes you understand impairments or setbacks, like Macie’s anxiety, so you are compassionate about whatever someone is dealing with, she has an amazing gift.

I’m looking forward to read more about the future of the Delta’s.

Freak. Witch. Ugly. Abomination.

Having grown up with a port-wine birthmark on her face and neck, Quinn Dixon’s heard them all. Her own mother couldn’t bear to touch her, let alone strangers. Years of stares and insults from everyone from classmates to foster families have made her understandably reluctant to trust.

John “Driftwood” Trettle was captivated by Quinn the moment they met. After months of skirting around their attraction, one pivotal evening finds John seizing the reins and refusing to be denied a chance to prove he’s worthy of Quinn’s time, her trust, and her love. To show her he’ll have her back, always, and defend her against anyone cruel or stupid enough to hurt his woman.

But he can’t protect against an unknown threat. Even if it wears a familiar face…

Review – Shelter For Quinn by Susan Stoker

Shelter for Quinn; Badge of Honor, Texas Heros #13 (Series)
by Susan Stoker (Author)

This review is from: February 5, 2019 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥

This is the 13th book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series. I love Susan Stoker’s writing and no matter what series I read of hers I love the action, romance, and worlds she creates. However, I did not connect with Quinn and Driftwood right away. I tried to move past the feeling like I need to have read the book just prior to this one, which unfortunately I did not. I missed Hope’s book, but I’ve read other Stoker books and have been able to jump right in, but unfortunately this was not one of them.

Right from the beginning Quinn wakes up in John’s bed having already agreed to be his girlfriend. I felt like I missed steps 1-5 on how they arrived at this point. I kept waiting for a flashback or reminiscing that would have given me an insight on how they got there, but I’m sad to say it never happened. So as I finally let that nagging feeling go and finally told myself, “ok, they are here, let’s move on.” The chemistry was still extremely slow. I love a slow moving book with mounting chemistry, but I suppose since I’d already told myself to hush where their relationship was concerned it wasn’t happy about the chemistry. All in all, their relationship just didn’t add up in my brain. BUT that is just my opinion. Eventually, everything fell into place and my romance brain was happy, but it took awhile for it to finally settle down.

As for the actual suspense of the story, this was like nothing I’ve read from Stoker before. The creepy vibe was all there and she always delivers when it comes to the creepy, evil characters. I don’t know what she eats for breakfast, or maybe it’s dinner and she dreams up these wicked people, but whatever it is the formula it works.

I also continue to applaud the strength of the women characters she creates. Perfection doesn’t exist and I love that hers are flawed. She writes about strong women who have this inner beauty and strong men who appreciate and love that.

I will continue to read Susan Stoker even if this particular book didn’t hit a homerun for me. Like I said initially I love her writing and she more times than not writes amazing stories.

Susan Stoker

Defending Chloe

Mountain Mercenaries Book 2

Release Date December 4, 2018


Love is the best defense in New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker’s explosive Mountain Mercenaries novel.

Gorgeous women don’t just stumble onto Ronan Cross’s remote property. But this one—vulnerable, victimized, and needing the kind of help only Ronan can offer—tells a story that makes his blood boil almost as hot as his need to protect her.

Since her father’s death, Chloe Harris has become a prisoner. Her own brother, a flesh peddler and low-level player in the Denver Mafia, is forcing her to sell her body for an endgame Chloe never saw coming: control over a vast fortune. Her only way out is to run—straight into the arms of the one hard-bodied man she can trust.

Defending Chloe could rain punishment down on the Mountain Mercenaries. Her brother has Mob connections and the local police in his pocket. But Ronan still has an edge—the unshakable loyalty of his deadly teammates. As well as an unquenchable thirst for retribution…and Chloe.


Read Kay’s Review: Defending Chloe


Excerpt:

“What’d you find out?” Ronan Cross asked impatiently.

Ro and his friends were sitting in their usual spot in The Pit, the pool hall/bar they frequented. The six of them were all members of Mountain Mercenaries, a group of men who worked for their handler, a man named Rex. The cases they took on were all about saving women and children from the dregs of humanity who wanted to enslave and rape and murder them.

But at that moment, Ro only cared about one woman.

Chloe Harris.

She’d stumbled onto his property in Black Forest just north of Colorado Springs, wearing ill-fitting clothes, and the story she’d told him simply hadn’t added up. Ro still would’ve let it go . . . if not for the large black-and-blue mark on her lower back. Someone had hit her. Hard.

He couldn’t let that go. He’d spent the last few years doing whatever was necessary to get women out of danger; there was no way he’d let the only one who had intrigued him on a personal level in a very long time disappear from his life like a puff of smoke, especially if she was being abused.

He’d given her his card, knowing he most likely wouldn’t hear from her. He also knew, better than most, that battered women rarely reached out until they were at rock bottom, and sometimes not even then.

But he was afraid battered-woman syndrome wasn’t the reason she hadn’t contacted him. He had a feeling it was because she was being prevented from calling him.

How he knew that, Ro couldn’t say. But he did.

Review – Defending Chloe

Defending Chloe; Mountain Mercenaries #2 (Series)
by Susan Stoker (Author)

This review is from: November 25, 2018 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love this new series!! I loved Defending Chloe so much I just had to go and read the first one in the series once I was done (I missed reading Defending Allye-it’s also amazing, but know each book can be read as a standalone or out of order, which I obviously did). I love these Mountain Mercenary men so much that I need the next one stat!!

Who are the Mountain Mercenaries? They are honorable men-veterans actually, dedicated to save women and children from abuse, prostitution, sex trafficking and other such evils from all around the world or even if it is in their own backyard. They are led by a Charlie’s Angels-mysterious type of man-named Rex who contacts the team through voice encrypted phones and has the knowledge, contacts, and power to locate where and when most of the deals take place. The men don’t question how Rex comes by his knowledge they just follow his lead and help the people break free from the terror they have fallen under.

Ronan “Ro” Cross is one of these brave men, a man who up until he met Chloe Harris, hadn’t made any connections or ties to anyone in his life, but something about Chloe draws him in like no one he’s ever met. Just in the few minutes he spoke to her in his garage, the vulnerability she displayed told him she needed his help, but the strength she showed also drove home that she wasn’t a wilting flower. He liked both sides to her and he knew he wouldn’t rest until she was safely in his arms, but that also meant the real danger was only beginning.

Chloe Harris was living a real nightmare. She went from having a great job, living in her own apartment, owning a car, paying her own bills to somehow living in fear of daily beatings by her own flesh and blood. The day her brother convinced her to move back home was the day her nightmare began. Her independence slowly stripped away until she was threatened to becoming one of his whores earning her “keep”. The day she happened upon Ronan Cross in his garage was one of sheer dumb luck. She didn’t give into to hope, since her brother was only bound to take it away, but when Ro shows up to and makes her want to try again it hardly seems possible that it couldn’t be a dream.

Ro and Chloe are both so timid, yet so perfectly matched for one another. Ro needs a strong woman to stand by his more brutish side and Chloe needs a caring man for her vulnerable sensibilities. Together they fit and complete each others missing spots, but will they get a chance to make it work, or will evil snatch it away before they get their HEA?

Blythe Coopman never imagined she’d be homeless, but a series of events has landed her on San Antonio’s streets…hungry, tired, and scared. She clings to her most precious possession, a phone accidentally swiped from a local firefighter, who, instead of canceling the number, starts texting her.

Blythe refuses to be his burden—until a vicious attack takes the decision out of her hands.

Now, he’s not taking no for an answer. While his friends rally round Blythe, Squirrel’s bond with her grows stronger by the day, until he realizes he’ll do anything to keep her safe, healthy, and happy…even as his own lifelong insecurities work against him.

But despite leaving the streets behind, Blythe and Sawyer discover old dangers still linger, threatening to end the couple’s new bliss before it’s barely begun.

** Shelter for Blythe is the 11th book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.


Read Kay’s Review: Shelter for Blythe


Excerpt:

Squirrel was on his knees at her side before she’d finished talking. He put one hand on her knee and the other on the side of her neck. “Nothing’s wrong. I swear. Sophie wants you here. I was just…” He took a deep breath before continuing, then laid it all on the line. “I’m attracted to you, Blythe. I know you’re hungry and I need to feed you. I can tell you’re in pain and that you need rest. But seeing you in my shirt, and your bare legs…it’s all I can do not to scoop you up and carry you to bed. That’s why I swore, because you’re almost impossible to resist, and the last thing you need right now is to have to fend off a horny male.”

She stared down at him in surprise. Her mouth open, eyes wide.

Squirrel moved his hand to the top of her head and ran it over her now clean short hair. He continued his gentle exploration, running his hand over her shoulder then down her arm. He took hold of both wrists gently and held them in her lap. “Can you forgive me for being a letch?”

She smiled then. A grin so big it completely lit up her face. Her gaze dropped and wandered down his body. Squirrel forced himself to remain still, to let her look her fill. He knew with the way he was kneeling next to her there was no way she’d be able to miss his erection, so he didn’t try to hide it.

It was obvious when she noticed how hard he was by her quick inhalation of breath, but she didn’t yank out of his grasp. He patiently waited until she was looking him in the eye once again. Her face had a deeper hue of pink from her blush—and it only made him want her all the more.

“I…I don’t know what to say.”

“You don’t have to say anything,” he reassured her. “You have nothing to worry about with me. You’re safe here. From me, from those assholes who tried to hurt you, and from anything that might try to bring you down. This is your safe haven. A place to regroup and jump-start your life. Got it?”

Blythe bit her lip and didn’t look reassured in the least. Squirrel sighed and moved to stand and give her some space.

He didn’t get far as her good hand shot out and grabbed his forearm.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve even thought about sex. It’s hard to think about that when you’re hungry, cold, and trying to find a safe place to close your eyes for an hour or so.”

Squirrel winced, but she continued.

“It’s weird for me to go from thinking I was going to be raped and murdered, to being surrounded by people who say they only want to help me. Even weirder to be sitting here in front of the man who has literally been my lifeline for months, and to realize that my libido picked a hell of a time to kick back in. I…I think I want you too, Squirrel. But I’m not ready.”

“Then we’ll wait. We’ll wait until you’re sure you want me, baby. There’s no rush. I’m an ass for even bringing it up. You’ve got enough on your plate right now.”

Review – Shelter For Blythe

Shelter for Blythe; Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes #11 (Series)
by Susan Stoker (Author)

This review is from: June 15, 2018 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥

I was intrigued by Blythe’s character when I read Justice for Milena. In that particular book given the high stake circumstances surrounding Milena’s character, it was hard to be sure if Blythe was good or bad. She had to make a tough decision based on her own circumstances which ultimately affected Milena and resulted in her kidnapping, but what you find out is that Blythe made that decision not because she is a bad person, but she is just as much a victim as Milena was at that time. She has a big heart and her homeless circumstance is a story you want to learn about.

In a Shelter for Blythe Susan Stoker brings a tragic living condition to light and gives it a humanity.

“Most of the time when I was homeless, people would look right through me. “

Bringing a human condition out from the darkness, shedding a light on the invisible is the true beauty of this story. The love story that Sawyer and Blythe share is just the cherry on top.

Ending up with Sawyer’s phone as the only way to communicate, Blythe felt human for the first time in a long time. She didn’t know why she kept his phone once she discovered she had it, except for the reason he actually talked to her. Really talked to her. He was sweet, and nice, and decent, and in her crappy everyday life she needed just a little bit of what he offered.

Sawyer hated that Blythe lived on the streets. Accidently giving her his phone when he left it in his sweatshirt while on a fire rescue one night he didn’t have the heart to turn it off when he realized the mistake. Instead he purchased a new phone and began texting his old number hoping she would respond. There was something about her from the first moment he met her. He didn’t know what brought her to living on the streets, but he desperately wanted to get her off of them.

When Blythe gets hurt Sawyer is there to help. Can these two finally find a happily ever after or will Blythe’s past haunt her forever?

Shelter for Blythe is a wonderful human story that will touch your emotions on every level.

New Release – Rescuing Wendy


Susan Stoker

Rescuing Wendy

Delta Force Heroes: Book 8

Release Date May 8, 2018 



Aspen “Blade” Carlisle is the last of his Delta Force team to find love…and he’s pretty bummed about that fact. Which might explain why he finds himself chatting up a telemarketer as if she’s a long-lost friend. But Wendy is surprisingly easy to talk to, so when they go from occasional calls during her work, to nightly conversations on their cells, it somehow feels right. So right, Blade eventually convinces the funny, sweet woman to meet him in person.

When their first face-to-face meeting gets high-jacked, Wendy Tucker is sure she and Aspen made a big mistake in taking their relationship to the next level. But the man is nothing if not persistent. Before long, Wendy’s allowing the handsome soldier to spend more time with her and Jack, the teen brother she’s raising, than anyone she’s ever dated. Though she knows there are limits to how close she can get to Aspen, no matter how much she likes him. Limits carefully constructed to protect Wendy and Jack from a past they’ve been running from for years.

But dating Blade means having an entire team of Deltas at her back. Which may come in handy not just with Wendy’s past…but also when her brother faces a current threat.

**Rescuing Wendy is the 8th book in the Delta Force Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Fund Information:
The Keith Milano Memorial Fund was established to help raise awareness about the devastating and deadly disease that is mental illness. Keith’s spirit and laughter is kept alive through our efforts to increase awareness about mental illness and to raise money for education and imperative research. Keith often struggled with society’s perception of mental illness. Our hope is that by having the strength to say that Keith was “Bipolar” we can strip away the stigma and help others to be more open about their disease.

If you want to know more about Keith or why Denise does what she does, here is short video/interview that speaks to that!

The Keith Milano Memorial Fund benefits the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). At the end of the event, participating authors will pay AFSP directly.

AFSP is the only national not-for-profit organization exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through research and education, and to reaching out to people with mood disorders and those affected by suicide. AFSP is a fully accredited 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization incorporated in the state of Delaware with primary offices in New York City. Federal tax ID # is 13-3393329.

Another Hopping Month of Releases

Released This April

In case you missed any of the fabulous releases this past month I’d like to take a moment do a quick recap of some of, not only my favorite books, but also top sellers that were published this past month.

Contained on this list will be books that I’ve read and books on my TBR lists. I swear my TBR pile gets bigger every day with so many delicious authors and books hitting the market, yet I promise I will never to steer you wrong when it comes to cozying up with a good book.

So, without further ado…I’m beginning with one of my favorite reads from this past month. A sexy, heartfelt jock who is looking for love, unfortunately he falls in love with a woman who is in the business of ending relationships. 

Ditched; A Sports Romance 

by R.C. Boldt

He’s playing for the heart she’s had sidelined for years. 

IVY HAYES
Dating can be a rocky journey. Once the new shine wears off, you may end up with a case of buyer’s remorse.

That’s where I come in. I set the backdrop and coach you through the breakup.

Don’t want overblown drama, hard feelings, or a drink tossed in your face? Then I’m your fairy godmother, child.

BECKET JONES
As an NFL quarterback, endorsement ads and the media pandering after me are all part of the game.

Ivy Hayes is the first woman who doesn’t care about my money and the notoriety that goes along with it.

But I’m a long-term guy, and she operates strictly in the now. Which means I need to bring my A-game.

Otherwise, I’ll end up getting ditched.

**Ditched is a sports romance/contemporary romance with a bit of a twist. It is a standalone, full-length novel.**

This next title is the second in the Summerhaven series and boy was it good. Okay, let me start again, the first was good, the second was amazing, and I believe the third, which is set to release in June will be explosive. Katy Regnery has a magnetic pull with her series.  They draw you in and keep you enraptured.

Smiling Irish; The Summerhaven Trio #2

by Katy Regnery

Tierney Haven and Burr O’Leary come from completely different worlds…

…but there’s a reason they say “opposites attract.”

Bookish Tierney Haven has always preferred places to people, and she especially loves the peace and quiet of Moonstone Manor, an estate museum located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where she is head docent, chief historian and live-in caretaker. The very last thing she expects to find on the doorstep at midnight is bruised and bloodied stranger, Burr O’Leary, in desperate need of her help.

Against her better judgement and at the risk of her brothers’ wrath, Tierney offers Burr sanctuary at Moonstone Manor, and nurses him back to health, surprised to discover that the dashing, enigmatic stranger loves the history and peace of Moonstone as much as she. But Burr has a dark history, and those who hurt him will stop at nothing to eliminate him…placing Tierney in grave danger until he is well enough to find them first.

Geeky hero, smart heroine, and a masquerade ball where anything goes. This story is one to fall in love with.

Come As You Are 

by Lauren Blakely

I couldn’t have scripted a more perfect night.

For one fantastic evening, at a masquerade party in the heart of Manhattan, I’m not the millionaire everyone wants a piece of. Fine—multimillionaire. But who’s counting all those commas? Not me, and not the most intriguing woman I’ve ever met, who happens to like dancing, witty banter, and hot, passionate up-against-the-wall sex as much as I do.

There’s no need for names or business cards. And that’s why I’m eager to get to know her more, since my mystery woman seems to like me for me, rather than for my huge…bank account.

Everything’s coming up aces. Until the next day when things get a little complicated. (Newsflash — a lot complicated.)

***

He’s charming, brilliant, an incredible lover, and right now I want to stab fate in the eyeballs.

I’ve had one goal I’ve been working toward, and lo and behold, my mystery man is the very person who stands between me and my dream job. A job I desperately need since my hard-knock life has nothing in common with his star-kissed one.

But it’s time to put that fairytale night behind me, and focus on learning what makes him tick. Too bad it turns out his quirks are my quirks, and his love affair with New York matches mine.

And as we spend our days together, I discover something else that feels like a cruel twist of fate — I’m falling for this naughty prince charming, and that’s not an ending I can write to our story.

Part of a series, the Royals Undercover set fire to April releasing two books in one month, one at the beginning of the month and the other right at the end. Let’s hear it for a Cheeky Royal King.

Cheeky Royal and Cheeky King; Royals Undercover

by Nana Malone

All they want is everything they can’t have.

Penny…

Yes, yes, I’ve heard the rumors.
The prince is royal, and cocky and has a—well never mind about all that.
The problem is, he’s also my job.

When the King called on me to retrieve the wayward prince, I was ready to walk away.

Then I caught my boyfriend cheating—and suddenly leaving never felt like a better idea.

Sebastian…

I never wanted the throne.

When I left behind my gilded cage of a palace, it all sounded so simple: find my long-lost brother & make him the prince so I don’t have to rule the kingdom like my father expects.

Then I meet my new neighbor, and quickly realize I’ve found the queen of my heart—and bed.

Just one problem, I can’t let her find out who I really am.

What good is a King without his Queen?

Sebastian…

I never wanted the crown, but now it’s mine.
Instead of my freedom–instead of her.
But even though she’s not mine to keep, I can’t seem to stay away.

Penny…

The moment he became king, I knew we were over.

Now I’ve returned home some kind of conquering hero.
If only they all knew that we’d both lost our hearts.
If only I could stay out of the royal bed.

What good is being cocky if you can’t get what you want?

♥Expected publication: April 2nd and April 30th 2018♥

This book has not received enough attention. For a new adult read it touched on every emotion and dug out feelings on top of feelings. Written as a duet, it ended on a huge cliffhanger, which can leave readers a tad wanting and waiting for the second part to be released until they even pickup the first part, but…there is light at the end of the tunnel. The second half of the duet is due to be released this summer, so what are you waiting for…it is so good.

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills kicks off a brand-new, sexy, heartfelt contemporary romance series with I DARE YOU!

Badass Athlete: I dare you to…

Delaney Shaw.
Good girl.
Lover of fluffy kitties and Star Wars.
Curious.

His dare? Spend one night in his bed—a night he promises will be unforgettable—and she can solve the mystery of who he is.

Just ask him.

Too bad for him Delaney’s sworn off dating athletes forever after her last heartbreak.

Review – Rescuing Wendy

Rescuing Wendy; Delta Force Heroes (Series)
by Susan Stoker (Author)

This review is from: April 30, 2018 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥

Another win in the Delta Force Heroes series! Although this is every bit a Susan Stoker novel, Rescuing Wendy is different from the other books I’ve read so far, which is a good thing in keeping her audience entertained, yet still coming back for that same comfort feel. There are small follow ups on past Deltas, but if you haven’t read the other books you will be able to jump right into this one and pick up the plot with no problem. (Although, once you pick up one Stoker novel you will become addicted and want to catch up and everyone else.)

Wendy and Blade, or Aspen as Wendy prefers to call him by his given name, met when she cold called him asking if he would like to buy life insurance. Typically this is not the way you would meet the love of your life, but that is the genius of Stoker’s writing.

Wendy was working in a call center, a job she hated, but alas there she was making cold calls to people who hung up on her, were most times rude, made lewd comments, you name it she’s heard it, but on one night in particular she happened to call Blade and he did none of the above. He was kind and they found a connection. He asked if they could talk again. Needing a kind voice on nights when Wendy needed to hear it she broke company policy and would dial his number and ask if he wanted to buy whatever she happened to be selling that evening. A bond formed and months later they were still talking.

The last Delta among his buddies to be in a relationship, Blade sometimes felt alone. He could spend all day surrounded by his buddies but still feel lonely. That was until he began to talk to Wendy. He didn’t know why her voice soothed him or why talking about their days quenched the lonely thirst he’d been feeling, but he knew he had to have more. When he found out she lived not far from him he knew it was destiny and that he had to meet her in person. He wanted more from just their nightly chats. He wanted more from the one person who made him happy. He wanted Wendy.

Wendy hadn’t let anyone into her life for good reason. Raising her younger brother alone had taken top priority. Somehow, Blade made her forget and that’s dangerous. As much as she would love to have a life with the perfect man and forget about her past, somethings just aren’t possible. She has a reason to keep a part of herself locked away, which has nothing to do with Blade, but her secret creates distrust and without trust it’s hard to build a future.

Blade can tell Wendy is hiding something and she won’t open up enough to tell him what that is. He wants to spend the rest of his life with her, but she makes that near impossible when she isn’t honest with him. Can Blade rescue Wendy from herself before it’s too late?

Release Date April 10, 2018

Blurb:
Sadie Jennings was used to being protected. As the niece of Sean Taggart, and the receptionist at McKay-Taggart Group, she was constantly surrounded by Alpha men more than capable, and willing, to lay down their life for her. But when she visits her friend in San Antonio, and acts on suspicious activity at Milena’s workplace, Sadie puts both of them in the crosshairs of a madman. After several harrowing weeks, her friend is now safe, but for Sadie, the repercussions of her rash act linger on.

Chase Jackson, no stranger to dangerous situations as a captain in the US Army, has volunteered himself as Sadie’s bodyguard. He fell head over heels for the beautiful woman the first time he laid eyes on her. With a Delta Force team at his back, he reassures the Taggart’s that Sadie will be safe. But when the situation in San Antonio catches up with her, Chase has to use everything he’s learned over his career to keep his promise…and to keep Sadie alive long enough to officially make her his.

What a Lucky Month of Releases

Released This March

In case you missed any of the fabulous releases this past month I thought I’d take a moment and list a quick recap of some of my favorite books that were published this March.

Contained on this list will both be books I’ve read and books on my TBR lists. I swear my TBR pile gets bigger every day with so many delicious authors and books hitting the market, yet I promise I will never to steer you wrong when it comes to cozying up with a good book.

So, without further ado… 

Tap That 

by R.C. Boldt and Jennifer Blackwood

The beer’s not the only thing getting tapped. 

CALLIE

I have a secret. It’ll get me fired if my boss ever finds out…which shouldn’t be a problem except for one thing: my coworker, Reid Morgan.

He’s cocky, aggravating, and that hot-as-sin mouth simultaneously makes me want to slap him and melt into the mattress.

Now that he’s discovered my secret, he’s doing everything in his power to take my job.

REID

I have a problem: my pint-size spitfire of a coworker who’s primed to take my promotion.

She’s infuriating, sexy as hell, and I just can’t seem to keep my hands off her.

Now we’re both vying for the same position…and only one of us can come out on top.

I am behind on reading this next series, but I LOVED her last one, so is it too punny to say I’m dying to read this next series of hers considering her last series was titled Love at Stake. Anyway…

Ride Dirty (Raven Riders #3.5)

by Laura Kaye

Caine McKannon is all about rules. As the Raven Riders Sergeant-at-Arms, he prizes loyalty to his brothers and protection of his club. As a man, he takes pleasure wherever he can get it but allows no one close—because distance is the only way to ensure people can’t hurt you. And he’s had enough pain for a lifetime.

And then he rescues a beautiful woman from an attack.

Kids and school are kindergarten teacher Emma Kerry’s whole life, so she’s stunned to realize she has an enemy—and even more surprised to find a protector in the intimidating man who saved her. Tall, dark, and tattooed, Caine is unlike any man Emma’s ever known, and she’s as uncertain of him as she is attracted. As the danger escalates, Caine is in her house more and more – until one night of passion lands him in her bed.

But breaking the rules comes at a price, forcing Caine to fight dirty to earn a chance at love.

Wanderlust (Compass Boys #3)

by Lauren Blakely

From #1 NYT bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes a sexy new standalone romance! 

The first time I met him, his sexy British accent almost talked me into giving him my number on the spot. The second time, he nearly charmed the panties off me with his wit. Then I learned he’s the key to success in my new job in Paris. The man who tempts me into fling-worthy dirty daydreams has turned out to be my personal translator, and his accent is the hottest thing I’ve ever heard.
My mantra is simple — Don’t mix business with pleasure. I do my best to resist him as he teaches me how to converse with my co-workers, navigate the metro and order the perfect bottle of wine at dinner. But I also figure out how to tell the charming and clever man what I most want to say — that I want him to take me back to his flat — tonight.
Except there’s a catch…

***
One more assignment before I take off on my big adventure…

And it involves the toughest work ever — resisting the fetching American woman I spend all my days with. But you know what they say about best intentions. Soon, we’re spending our nights tangled together, and I don’t want to let her go. The trouble is, my wanderlust is calling to me, and before we know it I’ll be traveling the globe to fulfill a promise I made long ago.

What could possibly go wrong with falling in love in Paris? Nothing…unless one of you is leaving.

This next book has received a lot of attention. Between social media, news stations, newspapers, and yes, even buzzfeed; Mrs. Daws had writers block and one day, her car needed some work. Enter, Tires, Tires, Tires. The inspiration for Mrs. Daws’s writing mojo. She used every excuse to return back to TTT so she could write her book and what emerged was a hit of a book.

Wait With Me

by Amy Daws

From Amazon Bestseller Amy Daws, comes the {Tires Tires Tires} story that was featured on Buzzfeed, Babble, Scary Mommy, Canada’s CBC Radio and even network television.

When romance novelist Kate Smith suddenly gets writer’s block as she’s beginning the final installment of her international bestselling erotic Bed ‘n Breakfast series, she’ll do pretty much anything to get her groove back. 

Like sneak into a Tire Depot waiting room because her words flow there just like complimentary coffee-smooth, sweet, and scorchingly hot.She manages to fly under the radar until the rugged and charming mechanic, Miles Hudson, notices the quirky redhead slinking in and out of the employees only entrance.

But she’s way too intriguing to blow the whistle on.

Doing a test-drive of her new book idea sounds like a much better option.

♥Expected publication: March 20th 2018♥

The Fever series first released twelve years ago. I began reading it probably about ten years ago and was instantly addicted. There are authors who can write twenty books a year, but once you read them you have a hard time remembering the exact plot, but others who release one or two books a year and the quality is there every single time. It’s been a decade and I can still remember being blown away by this series. Moning’s world is like none other I’ve read before and if you haven’t come across it yet you seriously need to start at the beginning with Darkfever. Do not read this next recommendation unless you have read the prior books, unless you really like doing that sort of thing, but her world will make much more sense if you do.

High Voltage (Fever #10)

by Karen Marie Moning

There is no action without consequence…

Dani O’Malley was nine years old when the delusional, sadistic Rowena transformed her into a ruthless killer. Years later, she’s tough, hardened, yet achingly vulnerable and fiercely compassionate, living alone by her own exacting code. Despite the scars on her body, driven by deeper ones carved into her soul, no one is more committed to protecting Dublin. By day, she ensures the safety of those she rescues, by night she hunts evil, dispensing justice swiftly and without mercy, determined to give those she cares for the peace she has never known.

There is no power without price…

When the Faerie Queen used the dangerously powerful Song of Making to heal the world from the damage done by the Hoar Frost King, catastrophic magic seeped deep into the earth, giving rise to horrifying, unforeseen consequences–and now deadly enemies plot in the darkness, preparing to enslave the human race and unleash an ancient reign of hell on Earth.

There is no future without sacrifice…

With the lethal, immortal Ryodan at her side, armed with the epic Sword of Light, Dani once again battles to save the world but her past comes back to haunt her with a vengeance, demanding an unspeakable price for the power she needs to save the human race and no one—not even Ryodan who’d move the very stars for her—can save her this time…

I love reading tough men who are mushy-gushy about their women. This next pick has it all. Plus a beautiful tie in to one of my favorite authors.

Justice for Milena (Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes #10)

by Susan Stoker

It’s been years since Milena Reinhardt has seen TJ “Rock” Rockwell. The last time, he was nearly a shell of a man…but he was her man…and he tore her heart out of her chest. Circumstances unbeknownst to TJ have ensured Milena’s never fully recovered.

TJ left his sniper days behind—for the most part—when he left the Army and become a respected Texas Highway Patrolman. He also left behind Milena. He’s convinced it was the right thing to do at the time, but that doesn’t mean he’s ever forgotten the woman who loved him in his greatest time of need…or has stopped thinking of her since.

Neither thought they’d see each other again, until a pedophile’s operation is taken down and the evil man sets his vengeful sights on Milena. This could be their second chance, even though TJ and Milena have enough secrets and trust issues to end any relationship before it starts. But when the bad guy closes in, they’ll have to set aside their fears and trust in each other, to save the one thing that means the world to them both.

** Justice for Milena is the 10th book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

** TJ and Milena face a truly nasty foe. While his sins are never described on the page, certain basic information is included for the characters to grasp the full breadth of the villain’s evilness. For my more delicate readers, please remember…good always triumphs over evil.

***If you like crossovers, this leads nicely into Susan Stokers next book, Rescuing Sadie, which is a crossover into Lexi Blake’s world. I do love ending a month on a Lexi Blake note it seems.
