About this ebook

Meeting the right person is rare, but when the opportunity calls…you answer.

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.

Ratings and reviews

GREAT STORY!! I have read all the books so far in this series and I'm addicted! This is Blade and Wendy's story and it was intriguing, captivating, steamy and will keep you on the edge of your seat. I could not put this book down!! The way Blade handle Wendy's insecurities and was right there for her when everything comes to a head, had me swooning.

4.5 Stars Rescuing Wendy is the eighth title in the Delta Force Heroes series, and feature Blade and Wendy. A connection is sparked between this pair via a marketing cold call, and builds into a special friendship. Blade and Wendy are endearing, realistic and relate-able characters. Blade aka Aspen is an honest, open and honorable alpha. Wendy is sweet, kind, caring and compassionate, but she harbors secrets. She's put her life on hold in order to raise her younger brother. A few figurative bombs are dropped within the story line in regard to Truck and Mary, that has just made me even more eager for their story. Although their is action, intrigue and suspense within this title it's not quite as prevalent as in some of Ms Stoker's previous books. Blade and Wendy's story is well paced, with a character driven plot. I found their connection to be realistic, and their chemistry is quite palpable. Once again the other members of Delta Force, who have appeared as previous heroes of the series, are prevalent within this story line, and we get to see more of them and their other halves. I will be eagerly awaiting Mary and Truck's story next!

This is the 8th book in Susan Stoker's Delta Force Heroes Series. This is Aspen/Blade and Wendy's book. Blade "meets" Wendy during a phone call when she (as a telemarketer) tries to sell him life insurance. He likes the sound of her voice, and they start talking for a bit. She appreciates that he didn't cuss her out and hang up on her (like we all seem to do). Over the next few weeks, they keep talking, and then decide to meet in person. Wendy is such a nice girl, and due to being a nice girl, misses out on meeting Blade face to face. The confusion and hurt that ensues is written perfectly!! Anyways, they actually meet in person, and it's like...BOOM! WOW! Hello connection. She has a dark secret though. She is the guardian of her little brother (which is NOT her big secret). Blade meets the brother. Her brother is having issues from a bully at school. Blade and Wendy have a perfect dating life... that is until questions about this big secret start popping up. Truck gets hurt during the drama and lets it slip that he's married to Mary. OMG! The drama that ensues from that alone is written PERFECTLY!!! Can Blade and Wendy survive her secret? Can her brother survive this school bully? Do Blade and Wendy even have a shot at forever? Can the team survive what Truck and Mary did? Does the team get broken up and spread out to other teams thanks to those 2?
