Trusting Molly by Susan Stoker

4 Star

Molly has always had bad luck.  When she’s in Nigeria she’s kidnapped with a hundred schoolgirls.  Shoved into a hole and left to rut she doesn’t expect to get out alive.  When Mark “Smoke” Chamberlin and his team go into Nigeria to rescue the schoolgirls he literally falls into the hole with Molly.  Once they had rescued everyone Molly finds out her only family had died while she was being held hostage so she opts to go home with Mark to figure out what she should do with her life.  As they get closer there’s someone else out to get her.  Will Mark be able to keep her safe?

I really enjoyed this book.  I enjoyed Molly’s inner dialogue and how she does pick herself up to keep moving.  It was interesting to see how Molly and Mark would work out with her stalker.  One of the best parts of the book is that Molly saves herself.  Overall, it fits well within the series and I enjoyed it a lot.

I usually like reading Susan Stoker books.  This one was like all her others.  It was well written and the story flowed nicely.  The issues I had with the book was there were some very graphic scenes that just didn't seem to be necessary and kind of skeeved me out.  They took me out of the book and I had to put the it down to take a couple breaths.  Overall, it was an ok book but not one of my favorite book by Susan Stoker.

Trusting Skylar by Susan Stoker

 

4 Star

Carson “Bull” Rhodes and his teammates left the army after a mission went wrong.  They started a covert team hidden in plain sight behind a tow company, to take out bad guys when the legal route doesn’t work.  Since starting their company Bull hasn’t dated.  When the tow company is called out he meets kindergarten teacher Skylar Reid.  After giving her a lecture on making sure he was who he said he was Bull asked her out.  When Bull finally reveals what he does for a living Skylar isn’t sure if she can handle it.  When she faces a serious threat will Bull be there for her?

I really enjoyed this story.  It was both different and the same book by Susan Stoker.  I was not expecting her to write a book with the main character being an assassin but she was able to pull it off without it being over the top.  I enjoyed reading it.  One of the best parts was after Skylar found out about his profession and freaked out.  She ends up being talked to her neighbor and being sort of told off by her.  It was interesting how the neighbor explained things to her.  It was a good start to a new series.
