Susan Stoker does it again. Rescuing Emily (Delta Force Heroes Book 2) is another amazing story and book. There are so many things to love about this book. There is Fletch and his hot self. Emily and her love and devotion to her daughter as well as how terrific she and Fletch are together. Of course there is the scene stealing adorable six year old going on thirty year old daughter Annie. Put the three of them together and they are such a beautiful family. Add in the members of Delta and Rayne and Mary and this was fabulous. There is a bit of angst which just about broke my heart, but Susan never lets me down so I pushed through. There was then more angst, but it was at that point I knew it would be okay, but as always it still was so interesting to see how it would unfold. I will also say that one of my favorite parts of this book was Annie and her interactions with the Delta team. I loved how she and Fletch were together, but I also loved how the guys fell completely in love with Annie. I will add without spoiling the specifics that her interactions with Truck were unforgettable. The bottom line is that if you love Susan Stoker's writing then you know you have to get this book. If you have never read her work then this is a great book to start with to read because you will love it. It is a standalone, but interconnected with the first book in this series. If you have never read her work I HIGHLY SUGGEST AND RECOMMEND that if you are able that you at least read the first book in the Delta Force Heroes series as it is such a wonderful book. If you are also able to read all of her books in her SEAL of Protection Series and Badge of Honor Texas Heroes Series because they are beyond excellent. For now you will be happy if you are just able to read Rescuing Emily. I read it without being able to put it down and I think you will feel the same.
Rescuing Emily is the second novel in the Delta Force Heroes series, all of her. Oops are standalone books but are connected by the theme and build on the characters. Every time I start one of Susan's books I should now better to make sure I don't have anything going for the the day. Because once you start one of her books you are sucked so far in that you won't want to put it down until the last word. Even then you wish you could have more.Emily is a single mom of a six year old Annie. Emily has been around the military for a while and seemed to find all the jerks. But when she answered an ad for a garage apartment for rent Fletch, as big and scary as he looked made her feel safe.Fletch being in the Delta Force, was good at reading people. When Emily came by to look at his apartment he knew she would be a good tenant. She was upfront and open and didn't seem to back down at his size, the way she handled herself seem to impress him.Being part of a Delta Force team means they are the best of the best, high sometimes can piss of the enemy. But Fletch never thought a training mission would lead to the other team's retaliation. Nor did he think it could or would effect Emily and Annie. Will Fletch be able to stop the retaliation before things get out of hand? Or will someone get hurt in the process?
It was a DNF for me. The beginning started out ok, but somewhere near the middle, I found myself rolling my eyes off an on. For instance, I found it very hard to believe that an adult woman could be so gullable and allow herself to be blackmailed like that. Her blackmailer gave her the most ridiculous story and she just believed him, without question?!! These also seems to be many issues between the hero and heroine that boil down to miscommunication. Using miscommunication is a story plot line just seems so....juvenile to me, almost like something that would belong in a young adult romance. On top of that, shortly after the hero discovers that the heroines "boyfriend" is not her boyfriend, but someone who has been blackmailing her, the hero and heroine start getting all insta-love. They realize they that each have made incorrect assumptions about each other one minute, and the next minute they start declaring that they are in this for the "long haul". There's no getting to know each other, no reestablishing trust, and no developing a relationship, letting it build. It just felt korny to me and too unbelievable so I quit reading.
4.5 stars! Rescuing Emily is another story by Susan Stoker that pulls you in and doesn't let go. I won't rewrite the synopsis because I think you probably already read that before reading the reviews! I loved the interactions with Fletch, Emily, and her daughter Annie. Annie truly adds a special element to the story. I love Fletch and his team! Who doesn't love hot alpha Delta Force men? While I loved the story there were a few minor points that deducted half a star in my rating. I know authors have literary license to change reality in their worlds and most of the time I can gloss over those few points. I think my background knowledge of some of these subjects (single mom, have a child with a military dad, kindergarten teacher) caused a couple of these points to not work for me. Annie is a very intelligent child in the first grade; however, her speech is not consistent with her intelligence level. Emily is a strong heroine but is easily duped by the villain in the story. I also disagreed with Emily’s thoughts about child support especially when you are struggling to feed your child and provide her with a safe environment. Overall, it was a beautiful book about love, friendship, and parenting. While this book can be read on its own, I would highly suggest that you read Rescuing Rayne. There are also characters mentioned in the book from the Protecting series and Justice series. Reading all of these books just adds to the depth of the story. Highly recommend!*I received an arc in exchange for an honest review*
