(Delta Force Heroes Book 2)

Date of Publication: July 19, 2016
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.
4.5 Stars
I love a military romance, and Susan Stoker's Rescuing Emily ticks all the boxes for a great romantic suspense story. A great mix of romance, drama, suspense, angst and action mixed with love, loyalty, humor, friendship and family.
This is the second book in the Delta Force Heroes series. Whilst I enjoyed the first book in this series, I have to say this story was so much better in my opinion. I really enjoyed Fletch and Emily's story. I loved their interactions and the chemistry that sparked between them, and the love scenes were quite hot and steamy. Annie added another layer to this story and in herself was an unique and endearing character. Overall the characters were interesting, likeable and I was definitely able to relate to Emily's actions being a mother myself.
Although this book can be read as a stand alone, you will get more from the story and the characters banter and interactions having read the first book in the series Rescuing Rayne, as some points in the timeline overlap. Fletch and Emily's story is a friends to lovers romance, and is quite a slow burn.
Fletch and his male comrades are complete alphas. I cannot wait to see how the rest of the delta force heroes get their happy ever after and the women who will be their counterparts. Overall this is a sweet romance that is an enjoyable and entertaining read.
New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Susan Stoker has a heart as big as the state of Texas where she lives, but this all American girl has also spent the last fourteen years living in Missouri, California, Colorado, and Indiana. She's married to a retired Army man who now gets to follow her around the country.
She debuted her first series in 2014 and quickly followed that up with the SEAL of Protection Series, which solidified her love of writing and creating stories readers can get lost in.
