Trusting Cassidy by Susan Stoker

Trusting Cassidy by Susan Stoker

In this final installment of New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker’s Silverstone series, a battle-scarred assassin must rescue an old flame from ruthless drug lords.

What was supposed to be a short trip to Jamaica becomes a years-long nightmare as Cassidy Hewitt and her son fall into the grip of an infamous drug kingpin. Desperate for rescue, Cassidy risks everything to send secret letters to the FBI, hoping someone, anyone, will answer her call.

When secret operative Leo “Gramps” Zanardi sees Cassidy’s letters, he knows this isn’t just another covert mission. The two had electric chemistry back in high school, and Leo finds himself eager for a reunion—even if the circumstances aren’t exactly ideal.

After arriving back in Indiana, Leo and Cassidy think they’re free to start a new life together. But the kingpin’s goons won’t let go of Cassidy so easily: they follow her from Jamaica, leaving carnage in their wake. Before the pair can fully embrace the love they’ve been missing all these years, they’ll need the entire Silverstone team’s help to be victorious in the showdown of their lives.

Cassidy is trying to live her life while living in a prison of fear. She loves her son, Mario, and knows that if they can't escape soon, they never will. She cautiously creates a plan and hopes beyond all hope that someone will come to help them.

Gramps, AKA Leo, is the last man standing amongst his group of friends. When they receive a letter from the FBI and he knows the author, there is nothing that's going to stop him from going to her. Every job is personal, but this one is extra special.

As we watch the Silverstone Towing Company work their magic, Cassidy learns to trust and love and her son learns what true acceptance looks like.

I won't get into too much of the story, because it will give away all of the fun parts, but know that these men have a way of worming their way into your heart and you won't be disappointed. I suggest that you read all of the Silverstone Towing books in order, as you'll get the most out of them that way.

I can't wait for the next series!

This is the fourth book in the series – and I would definitely recommend you read them all, as they are really good, and whilst each one was a new romance, the men of Silverstone Towing and their missions make for excellent reading.

Gramps, aka Leo, is the last man standing in the quartet. He can see that his friends are settling into married life, but he doesn't really think that he has that desire within him. Then a call from their handler in the FBI brings them a potential mission and a very familiar name is the person in need. I really liked the set up here – each story has been so individual, even if the woman in question has needed their help. Cassidy is stuck in Jamaica, as the childminder for a drug lord, her son also held on virtual house arrest.

The plan to free them is hatched and we get to see how the men work together to do good. Both Leo and Cassidy recognise the chemistry between them, that was there when they were at high school decades ago. However, Cassidy, in particular, is worried that it is circumstances that have made her feel that way, and you can hardly argue that men have been good to her in the past. It is delightful watching them find themselves as a potential couple.

I will not reveal more of the drama, but rest assured that we get some real insight into how the four men and their families move forward with their lives – compelling reading. Thank you, Susan Stoker.

Trusting Molly by Susan Stoker

Trusting Molly by Susan Stoker

From New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker comes a heart-pounding installment in the Silverstone series about a love-shy ex-military man and a beautiful scientist reeling from a family tragedy.

When Mark “Smoke” Chamberlin ventures into the Nigerian jungle with his team of government assassins, his mission is clear: get in, kill the target, and make it out alive. With his extensive military experience, Smoke has no problem heading into dangerous territory. When it comes to love, though, he’s always been a little wary. But then he meets the beautiful, intrepid Molly Smith.

Schoolteacher Molly has been trying to outrun a lifetime of bad luck, and now she finds herself kidnapped along with a hundred schoolgirls in the jungle. But when Smoke finds them, Molly thinks her luck might be turning around—until she returns to the US to find her beloved grandparents murdered.

Devastated by their deaths and mystified by the turn of events, Molly turns to Smoke for comfort. But as Molly and Smoke grow closer, a different threat emerges… one that will put their relationship to the test and their lives in grave danger.

Molly has known bad luck her whole life. Even through all of her bad luck, she knew she was loved by her grandparents. When a bad breakup turns into something more sinister, Molly takes a job overseas. What she doesn't plan on is to be taken hostage and left for dead by the company who hired her. Molly is a character that you can relate to. She's real, realistic, and, despite her somewhat hesitant beginning, you can see the spine she has.

Smoke knows that there are some really bad people in this world. He's seen it. But when he heads to the jungle to find kidnapped children, he knows that he's going to see humanity at its worst. While on this mission, he falls for Molly. While he sees that she's not quite sure of herself and wants to put her at ease, he also knows that sometimes, what we want doesn't matter. Fate has a way of spitting in your face when you're down. Smoke is a guy who sees what he wants and isn't afraid to fight for it, protect it, savor it.

Molly has trust issues and rightfully so. But she can see that Smoke and his friends are genuine in their attempts to help her, comfort her, and she knows that she can rely on them for anything. When push comes to shove, she knows that Smoke will always find her.

This was a quick read that was enjoyable and had some great character development. You have a fantastic bad guy, a damsel who gets into a lot of distress, and a hero who will stop at nothing to save her. I really encourage you to read the previous books in this series too.

This is the third book in the series, and somehow I missed the earlier two , but will be catching up soon. They link into other series, and I would recommend them all to you! Stoker has a great talent of writing strong women, who often don't recognise their strengths, until meeting good people, and often one man in particular gives them a chance to believe in themselves.

Molly's strength in surviving being held captive in the Nigerian jungle is impressive, dealing with the nightmare of a crazed stalker on her return to civilisation is even more so. Thankfully, Smoke (aka Mark), named for his stealth, fell into the hole where she was captured, and fell for her too. Now he has the challenge of giving her agency, but also being her shadow as she confronts her demons.

The team all band together to give her all their help, friendship, and in them, she finds the family she had never had and a future restored after so much loss. Though Mark has the power and the funds to solve many of her problems, her stalker is determined and ruthless. I loved the drama, although no one person should suffer so much in one book! Thank goodness that there was a much brighter future by the end!

If you like your heroines strong and selfless, and your heroes kind, strong, and mindful of others, then you will love this story, and this group of men and women who have blended into family.

Trusting Skylar by Susan Stoker

Trusting Skylar by Susan Stoker

From bestselling author Susan Stoker comes a sizzling new series about four former military operatives who rid the world of the worst of humanity while fighting to protect the best part of their lives: the women they love.

Former military operative Carson “Bull” Rhodes hasn’t dated seriously since he and his teammates left the army. Since then he’s opened Silverstone Towing—which is a front for his other job: hired killer. When kindergarten teacher Skylar Reid calls for help while stranded on the side of the interstate, the attraction is instant. The problem is Bull’s career has jaded him. Skylar’s innocent, and he wants to keep her that way.

Cautious by nature, Skylar never expected to fall in love with her tow truck driver. Even so, once Bull reveals what he really does for a living, she’s not sure she can handle it. When Skylar faces threats that have nothing to do with Bull’s job but are just as deadly, the stakes are higher than ever.

With the help of the Silverstone team, Bull will use everything he’s learned over the years to bring the woman he loves home—because the alternative is unthinkable.

This is a great start to Stoker’s new military group. When things don’t go quite the way the Navy wants, they decide that Bull and his group are expendable. But with another option thrust in front of them, Bull and his men will decide on another course.

Skylar is an amazingly dedicated teacher. Her students may not come from the wealthiest families, but she does her very best to make sure that they start their school year out with every advantage. When she meets Bull due to her car acting up, she is pleasantly surprised.

Skylar and Bull form a relationship based on attraction, but also respect. I loved how Bull did small things for Skylar and her class.

Bull knows that his secret could ruin his chances with Skylar, but he believes in what he’s doing. Can Skylar accept those people in her life who might not be who she thought? And when someone with less than honorable intentions puts Skylar in danger, will Bull be able to help in time?

I am excited for this new series and can’t wait for more!
