AVAILABLE TODAY!!   

BOOK INFORMATION

Mountain Mercenary Hunter “Meat” Snow has a mission: eliminate the human traffickers scouring the barrios of Lima for vulnerable prey. But it’s Meat who’s taken down. Separated from his team, and beaten within inch of his life, he’s left for dead. When he wakes, it’s to the intimate care of a beautiful stranger who knows all about survival.

Zara Layne was a child when a brutal murder left her orphaned and abandoned in Peru. Ever since, she’s fended for herself on the streets, outrunning its predators. Trusting men is not in Zara’s blood, until it warms to the exhilarating touch of the wounded hero who promises deliverance. As each other’s rescuer, they return to Colorado for a new normal.

But when Meat disappears, Zara discovers how ruthless the past can be. With the help of the loyal mercenaries, she’s drawing on her own skills of endurance to find him. And for Zara, there’s no danger too great to come between her and the man she loves.

When I met Susan!!

   

I have had the privilege of meeting Susan several times - the first being at the RT Convention in Atlanta, however, it was very brief due to my leaving early for a family emergency.  Having some preorders I needed to pick up from her, she graciously met me early to deliver them.  She was so wonderful and offered me support during that time of crisis.  Next, I met her at Readers on the River in 2018 and 2019.  I was so excited to meet her under better circumstances.  Susan is down to earth and so gracious to her readers for their support.  Susan has been one of my favorite authors since reading PROTECTING CAROLINE several years ago. She continues to WOW me with her work and I anxiously await each new book until it releases.  Susan has a Facebook Fan group and, just like Susan, the members are delightful.  They offer support and encouragement, make me smile with silly memes, and have become online friends, all thanks to Susan.

SHELTER FOR QUINN by Susan Stoker ★★★★★ GET YOUR COPY TODAY!

BOOK SUMMARY

Freak. Witch. Ugly. Abomination.

Having grown up with a port-wine birthmark on her face and neck, Quinn Dixon’s heard them all. Her own mother couldn’t bear to touch her, let alone strangers. Years of stares and insults from everyone from classmates to foster families have made her understandably reluctant to trust. So when John comes along, of course he couldn’t be interested in more than a brief affair. He’ll get sick of all the gawking and whispers soon enough and leave her…just like everyone else.

John “Driftwood” Trettle was captivated by Quinn the moment they met. After months of skirting around their attraction, one pivotal evening finds John seizing the reins and refusing to be denied a chance to prove he’s worthy of Quinn’s time, her trust, and her love. To show her he’ll have her back, always, and defend her against anyone cruel or stupid enough to hurt his woman.

But he can’t protect against an unknown threat. Even if it wears a familiar face…

CAT'S REVIEW

SHELTER FOR QUINN by Susan Stoker is a story filled with love, hurt, danger, suspense and heartwarming friendships.  Quinn, living her life constantly being judged and ridiculed due to a port-wine birthmark on her face, still manages to be a strong, independent woman with a heart of gold.  John, a sexy firefighter, sees beyond the birthmark to the beauty within.  I adored both of these characters and seeing them together makes the heart sing.  John was ever so patient with Quinn as she struggled to believe he could see beyond the birthmark and watching Quinn grow and blossom was a joy.   Ms. Stoker certainly knows how to write a villain and she did not disappoint in this one.  It is romantic suspense at its best and keeps the reader on edge as to what will happen.    Having read the previous books in the series, it was fun to "catch up" with some other characters, although certainly can be read as a stand alone with no issues.  If you enjoy a tale that has edge of your seat suspense and danger as well as tug at your heartstrings love, you do not want to miss this one.  (received ARC for honest review)

CAT'S REVIEW

JUSTICE FOR HOPE by Susan Stoker.  This tale tells the story of Hope, Calder and Billy.  Hope and Billy, mother and son, haven't had an easy go of it as of late and Calder, being the alpha male he is, does all he can to swoop in and save the day.  Yet, Hope is independent and strong willed.  It was enjoyable to see these two navigate their relationship and to watch Hope give in to her feelings, despite her fear.  And to watch Calder recognize that he has met the One!  The first half of the book moves along at a leisurely pace and we get to know each character and where their heart and mind is at.  There isn't much happening except for the journey of the love story and then BAM!  Ms. Stoker certainly knows how to throw a curveball to any relationship.  This story has a little bit of everything - a touch of humor, sweet love, the beauty of youth and even a surprise or two along the way.  Oh, and did I mention a little bit of suspense and mystery too.  As seems par for the course, Ms. Stoker even made me tear up - her ability to put down in words the heartfelt emotions her characters feel simply touches my heart.  I highly recommend reading JUSTICE FOR HOPE.  Yes, this is book 12 of the series, but can easily be read as a standalone, although many characters from the previous books make appearances.  On that note, I also encourage you to read the other stories in this series as well.

Blythe Coopman never imagined she’d be homeless, but a series of events has landed her on San Antonio’s streets…hungry, tired, and scared. She clings to her most precious possession, a phone accidentally swiped from a local firefighter, who, instead of canceling the number, starts texting her. Soon, the man’s calls and texts are the highlight of her days, but she declines his frequent offers of help. Blythe refuses to be his burden—until a vicious attack takes the decision out of her hands.

When the woman he’s already begun to care for ends up in the ER, Sawyer “Squirrel” McClay is livid—and ashamed. He should have insisted she accept his help long ago. Now, he’s not taking no for an answer. While his friends rally round Blythe, Squirrel’s bond with her grows stronger by the day, until he realizes he’ll do anything to keep her safe, healthy, and happy…even as his own lifelong insecurities work against him.

But despite leaving the streets behind, Blythe and Sawyer discover old dangers still linger, threatening to end the couple’s new bliss before it’s barely begun.

Cat's Review

SHELTER FOR BLYTHE by Susan Stoker is an emotional tale that brings to light the plight of homelessness in our society.  Ms. Stoker does a tasteful job of making the reader aware of the not so nice world of homelessness - the dangers and the emotional turmoil those in that predicament face.  This story is about Blythe and Sawyer, a/k/a Squirrel.  I loved both of these characters.  Blythe, being homeless. certainly has a sour look about herself, yet Sawyer, being a super duper alpha man, sees beyond her dirty clothes to the beautiful human being underneath the dirt and grime.  I adored Sawyer.  While he is an alpha, he has some issues of his own. Yet, he's super protective and caring and tender too.   It was nice to see a Hero not be so full of himself (although I love those Heroes too!).  This story has some suspense and danger, family, friends and love.  Once again, Ms. Stoker has taken me on a journey that warmed my heart and soul, made me laugh and cry, feel all the feels, and opened my eyes wider to the helplessness the homeless feel.  (received ARC for honest review)

CAT'S REVIEW

JUSTICE FOR MILENA by Susan Stoker.  Wow!  Ms. Stoker blew me away with this one!  I simply adored all the characters and the storyline grabbed on and wouldn't let go.  Milena and TJ are perfect together.  TJ is a super sexy man of the law but beyond that, he's tender and kind and loving - just made me swoon.  Milena is my type of heroine - she's strong yet knows when she needs to lean on others.  And JT - stole my heart!    Ms. Stoker fills the tale with action, suspense, a bit of mystery and some really, really evil bad guys.   Being a fan of Ms. Stoker and having read the previous books (although completely not necessary to enjoy this one), it was also fun to meet up with previous characters and this author is such a tease - there are hints of what is to come in future books and I, for one, cannot wait.   For readers that like tales that are filled with heartwarming characters, maniacal bad guys, and a story that keeps you invested throughout, do no miss JUSTICE FOR MILENA!  (received ARC for honest review)
