About this ebook

She was only supposed to be a tenant, but when she was threatened because of him, she became so much more.

Renting out the apartment over his garage shouldn’t be a life-changing decision, but when Delta soldier Cormac “Fletch” Fletcher meets Emily Grant, he feels an instant connection. He can’t stand the thought of Emily and her young daughter living anywhere unsafe. Offering cheap rent is a small price to pay for their safety...and Fletch’s peace of mind.

Being a single mother is difficult at best, but renting the extremely affordable space from Fletch makes Emily’s life a lot easier...until it doesn’t. Suddenly all the money she’s saving thanks to Fletch’s generosity is going into the hands of a blackmailer. And what little food Emily can afford goes to her daughter Annie, so the girl doesn’t go to bed hungry...leaving Emily weaker and weaker.

When miscommunication has Emily assuming Fletch is in on the blackmail, he not only has to gain her trust, but also deal with a man holding a grudge against Fletch and his entire Delta Force team. A task made more difficult when the dangerous man gets his hands on Emily and Annie...

** Rescuing Emily is the 2nd book in the Delta Force Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

When she sees an ad for a small one bedroom apartment that is within her budget she makes the decides to go and check things out.

When he discovers she has a daughter who has been tormented by others he makes an instant decision to rent them the apartment. Little did he know this decision would change his whole future. I loved watching Fletch and Annie's relationship grown. He was so patient and understanding with the little girl, never losing his cool when she asked him a million questions. You can see the instant love these two have for each other and how protective Fletch feels towards the child. When a misunderstanding causes him and Emily to pull away from each other before even getting a chance to see how their mutual attraction would play out you feel this heartache and pain each go through. Luckily these two are able to work things out and we get to see how these three grow together into a close unit. When danger threatens Emily and Annie's life, Fletch knows it is up to him and his elite team to save these two and make them part of the family he never knew he wanted. This book was absolutely amazing, I loved it so much. While the heat level was very mild compared to most of the books I read, I have to say the story is so well written that you don't miss it at all. I would highly recommend this book to others and look forward to reading the next book in the series as well. I received an eARC of this book compliments of the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.

I like Susan Stoker's books. I was enjoying the free sample & considering buying this book when the plot turned too ugly for me. I didn't want to live through this evil plot. Others will love it, but I didn't want those pictures in my head. I hate liars. I also hate the miscommunication trope. I recommend many of Susan's books. This one just upset me so much, maybe because a child was involved, that I had to write my gut reaction to it.

I’m not sure what it was about this story, but it hit right in feels the whole way through. My heart ached for Emily, and as much as Annie gave some levity, the weight of the burden Emily felt through almost the entire book weighed on my feelings. It took quite a bit for things to work out right for the characters involved, and I kept rooting for them, waiting for them to get on the same page, the right foot. There was only a few moments when it happened, and you knew the trouble was going to strike before too long. It did, and surprisingly, the weight lifted, because you knew it was finally going to be set to rest. Loved Emily, loved Fletch, and loved little Annie!
