Little does she know that she’s going to find that happiness in the hands of this sexy former military man, who with every word and gesture, shows her that she’s worth more than she thinks and, furthermore, she’s no bad luck as everybody has been telling her all her life. Although, before all this happens, they have to find a way to vanish new threats that are following Molly.However, with the Silverstone guys, Molly will find soon enough that she has people to rely on that will always have her back.
This fast paced, sometimes sweet and sexy story, will keep you on the edge of your seat and you won’t let go until you read every last word. I’m looking forward to reading Gramps' story next in this amazing world created by Susan Stoker.

***Disclaimer: I’ve applied and received this book as an ARC via NetGalley and this is my honest review***

This next installment in the Silverstone Towing series is guaranteed to be another hit. It already is in my books. Rescued by Smoke and his team, Molly adjusts to healing and adjusting to all the changes in her life since being kidnapped in Nigeria. I loved the way not only Smoke, but the entire team and their girlfriends help out, making Molly feel at home and wanted. Of course there is a strong attraction between Smoke and Molly and with a danger out there, this book has it all.

Susan Stoker never writes a book I do not love. I truly does not know how she does it. Smoke was left a large inheritance and with his 3 best friends and former special ops buddies created Silverstone Towing. They actually do towing but also do special ops operations that are off the books. This is the 3rd book in the series but can be read as a stand along. Smoke (Mark) along with his 3 best friends are in Nigeria hoping to rescue the school girls and kill the leader of the group. Molly was working in Nigeria and was kidnapped along with a large group of school girls. Smoke was not exactly looking for Molly but was aware she was missing. Smoke literally falls right on top of her. Molly always feels she is bad luck and her family always teased her about being "Folly Molly". Unfortunately the hits keep coming for Molly as she finds out her Grandparents have been murdered and their home burned down. She has no were to go and Smoke invites her to stay at his large house. Molly's trouble aren't over as she find out her ex is still stalking her. She does not want to see anyone get hurt because of her bad luck. I love how Susan Stoker weaves the romance and does not have them fall directly in bed together. She takes time to build the relationship. Loved the book and you can never go wrong with anything Susan Stoker writes.

I received this ARC for an honest review from Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC.

When I read the synopsis for "Trusting Molly" I became enamored with the premise of these Delta men. So much so that rather than jumping straight into this one (the third in the series) I straight away bought and binge read the first 2 in the series (in 2 days mind you!). WOW I can safely say that I was not disappointed and I have now found an author to add to my automatic purchase list!!!! Can not wait until the next book comes out!!!

"Trusting Molly" tells the story of Mark aka Smoke and Molly who meet after the man who can get in and out of places unseen manages to fall into the hole Molly is being kept down. From the Nigerian jungle and ruthless terrorists to back home in Indiana (with a brief Chicago visit) with a psycho ex boyfriend turned stalker this is a fun, sweet and sexy story.

I absolutely loved that the characters and group we fell in love with from the first two stories are all here and we get to see their lives continuing.

The end of every story really starts the next book which really draws you in. I can't wait to read Gramps story.

There was nothing at all that I hated or disliked about this story - aside from the fact that I now have to wait for the next in the series!

Susan Stoker has a way of writing that really engages you and which is hard to find - it's also annoying when you need to go to sleep but NEED to finish the book first. The dialogue and stories are really well written and full of good humour and fun despite the exstalkers, serial killers and in general bad guys.

This is the third in the Silverstone series. Molly Smith has been kidnapped in Nigeria whilst there to escape a stalker. Smoke feels an instant connection to Molly, and after he helps rescue her, she comes to stay with him. This is a good book, much like Susan Stoker’s other books, with alpha males and damsels in distress. If you like her books, you’ll like this one.

Another very incredible story. Not only within the Silverstone-universe itself, but the whole Susan Stoker series. Molly's such a sweet girl, that has a Lot of self-issues though. Namely, bad luck wherever she goes. It seems everything she puts her mind to comes back to bite her in the a**. So it's a good thing Mark literally falls atop of her in the middle of the jungle. From the she seems to be good to go, but her past catches up with her and the whole Silverstone-crew might just be to late to safe the day. Very, very good story - though you might think there Just could be no more stories to be told with all the great books Susan already released. But again, she proved me wrong!

RC received for review

Mark/Smoke falls for Molly...literally. Smoke and the rest of the team rescue her after she's been kidnapped in Nigeria. They help her get home and she finds out her grandparents (who raised her after her parents died) and dead. And the main suspect is her crazy ex. Molly goes home with Mark and the rest of the team. They help her recover and figure out what exactly happened to her grandparents. Along the way they fall in love and then the bad guy makes his move. Love how the previous heroines welcome her and help her adjust.

Can't wait for the final member of Silverstone to get his HEA.

Trusting Molly is the latest installment in the Silverstone Towing series by Susan Stoker. The Silverstone team is in Nigeria to deal with a terrorist that has kidnapped a number of schoolgirls and Molly, an American environmental engineer who was at the school when the raid occurred. Smoke falls into a deep hole, right on top of Molly, during the action to apprehend the terrorist leader. When she helps him out of the hole so he can rejoin the team, Smoke is impressed by her emotional strength and attitude, especially after he shares the news that her grandparents were killed while she was captive. Molly goes with the Silverstone team as they make their way back to the Nigerian capital, and while she is attracted to Smoke, Molly thinks it is just her since Smoke isn't showing any signs of being interested in her. Molly doesn't realize that Smoke is head over heels for her and is trying not to pressure her. Molly goes to Indianapolis with the Silverstone team to figure out what her next steps will be. Smoke convinces Molly to stay in his guestroom and their attraction builds as they spend more time together.
Molly took the job in Nigeria to escape a stalker - who reappears. Luckily, Molly has Smoke and the Silverstone team behind her.

Trusting Molly has the perfect blend of suspense and romance. Susan Stoker excels at creating realistic, well developed characters that I quickly find to be my new best friends. The plot pulls events out of current headlines and weaves the strands together to keep me completely engaged through the end of the book. Although this book is part of a series, it is easily read by itself. If you like action packed romantic suspense, I highly recommend Trusting Molly.

I received a early readers copy of Trusting Molly via Netgalley, and I am providing my own impressions of the book in this review.

You can never go wrong when you pick up a book written by this author, and this one proves this reader’s point of view.
The story centers around Mark/Smoke Chamberlain and Molly Smith.
Smoke and his Team are sent to Nigeria to eliminate a human trafficker. The aim was to go in , do their job, and get out. But when they hear about the kidnapped school girls and their teacher, Molly who is also an environment engineer, he and his team are determined to rescue them. The attraction is evident when they meet.
After the rescue , Molly discovers her grandparents have been murder and trying to help her, Smoke offers her a place to stay.
In the midst of the danger and intrigue that follows, the love story is wonderful. I especially like that both main characters are strong perfect individuals in the midst of their imperfections.
Another winner in the series.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley. the opinions expressed are solely my own.

Susan Stoker's books are all a rehash of the same story told with new names and locations. They are formulaic and lack any new material. Even with all of this I still find myself reading them! For some reason I always want to find out what happens to the next team member. They are an easy read and pass the time when I can't decide what to read next.

Mark, a former member of the Special Forces, now works and co owns, Silverstone Towing. No one but a select few know what they really do. They go on a mission in Nigeria, to kill a trafficker. They rescue some girls that were kidnapped and Mark literally falls on Molly. Molly is an environmental engineer and was kidnapped along with the school girls. She left the states to get away from an ex boyfriend. She’s been in a hole for about three months. When the team rescues her, Mark is amazed at how strong she is and is attracted to her. Mark must break the news about her grandparents being murdered. Since she has nothing and her only relatives are dead, he offers to let her stay with him. Mark’s uncle left him millions and he lives in a five bedroom house so it’s no problem with letting her stay. The longer he’s with her, the harder he falls. Molly’s ex pops up and attacks her and vows to get her back. Hen Molly is taken ( again ) she is sure this is the end. Mark and his team will do anything to get her back.

This was an excellent story. You’ve got action, mystery, and romance. This will keep you glued to your book or reader. Be prepared for a little crying. And steamy sex.

Wow this girl needs a hug, and along comes hunk Mark ‘’Smoke’ Chamberlin to give her them. Fleeing from an abusive ex Molly gets kidnapped from her job in Nigeria, dropped down a hole and abandoned by her employers, she is rescued by Smoke and his team on their mission to rescue kidnapped schoolgirls. They are on hand when the abusive ex reappears, who after killing the only relatives Molly had left and in his delusional stalker state wants her to pay and shoots her twice. A fantastic tale of a gutsy lady who discovers herself and the love of a good man, and as his team become her new family the hints for the new in series captures your attention, can’t wait for the next book.

Molly Smith is working in Nigeria when she is captured by terrorists and held in a hole dug into the jungle floor. Mark "Smoke" Chamberland is sent by the US government to rescue the school children that were taken along with Molly. When Mark accidentally stumbles into Molly's hole, a rescue occurs. Unbeknownst to Molly, during her captivity her grandparents are murdered and their house destroyed. Smoke takes Molly home to his house and the two get to know each other while trying to uncover the mystery surrounding her grandparents death.

Trusting Molly delivers on romance and excitement in a big way. I love the way author Susan Stoker is able to capture feeling and emotions into words on the pages. This book is an absolute winner.

Although this is the third book in the Silverstone Series, Trusting Molly can be read as a stand-alone novel.

An excellent story that will keep you on the edge of your seat and wondering what will happen next. The story makes you feel as if you are right there with Molly and going through what she is, from the time she's kidnapped in Nigeria with the school girls, to her crazy ex boyfriend. Smoke is her strength through all the turmoil. You won't be disappointed in getting this book. HEA.

When I think of romance, I think of books just like this one, that gives all the feels and satisfies every romance junkies' heart. This is a perfect books to snuggle up with on any day.

I'm a fan of Susan Stoker who I think blends action and romance beautifully. This book, the third in the series, is another great example of this. From the beginning, Molly's story is full of action. Storm is in the middle of a rescue mission, specifically of the Boko Haram girls. Molly was also kidnapped because she was a teacher at that time. It was exciting and a great start to the book. After the rescue, the excitement continues with another arc involving a stalker but my favorite parts of the book were how she and Storm, or Mark, really got to know each other I adored Storm. He was sweet, protective and alpha, just like I love my book boyfriends. Molly was strong, brave and resilient and I loved her character. The book itself had some fantastic supporting characters, couples that were featured in the first 2 books, which I did not read but now, are on my TBR or even TBL list (since they are read and listen on amazon). Really, for anyone looking for a romantic suspense/action book with heart, every one of Susan Stoker's book seems to fit the bill in my opinion. Thanks to NetGalley for an early read.

I loved this book. Molly had some of the worst luck, but she also had some of the best luck. After all, the guy who disappears and gets things done managed fall into her lap when she’d just about given up hope for survival. And that tumble was the best thing that could’ve happened for Molly...and Mark. Her determination to live, his need to keep her safe and sound, and their friendship slowly becoming so much more grabbed me and held on. Even when Molly’s luck takes a terrifying turn, she knows she’s going to be okay eventually. And when she is, it’s nothing but sunny skies ahead for her and Mark.

I really enjoyed the emotion and the worry Molly had, as well as the blunt honesty that Mark hit her with a few times. He pulled no punches about what he wants with Molly, and the fact that he played no games made him all the more likable. Add in her friendships with the rest of the Silverstone crew and I’m only sad that I’ve hit the end of their story. But there’s still more to come with Gramps, so I know I haven’t seen the last of this couple by a long shot!

Eagerly anticipated continuation of this fantastic series, Smoke’s book is everything you want it to be and more. Protective badass former soldiers, unknown threats and danger, amazing friendships and smoking hot intimacy building a beautiful romance and a fantastic HEA.

The book begins unusually for the team with them mid rescue, having heard about the missing Nigerian schoolgirls and the lone American woman with them, at the end of the last story they had decided to spend some time in the area searching them out. By the start of this book they found them and Smoke discovers where Molly is being held.

The team dynamics are well written and the closeness of the 4 friends comes off the page. The rescue being a perfect chance to both learn more about Molly and Smoke, but also how the team interact with each other. Their care for Molly was so heartwarming.

Molly is, unknowing to her, an extremely strong individual and after having challenges thrown at her makes serious life decisions to try and change her path. Upon discovering after her rescue she has nothing left of her past life, she takes up Smoke on his offer to recuperate at his home.

I loved how their relationship developed and how Molly went on a journey of discovery, eventually being strong enough to say what it was she really wanted in life. Then how Smoke immediately have her everything her heart needed. His love for her was so deep and it was given so freely.

Emotional at times, the exciting and suspense filled story takes using a journey through which we learn more about the other characters in the series (Shaun….*sniff*) and fall in love with the 4 leading men even more than before, even their gruff over protective sides.

The ending was nail biting and though you know an SS story always ends well, she does have a habit of leaving our favourite characters with a little more work to do even if they do get a HEA. But no fear, this HEA is lovely and complete and everything you will want it to be.

I am giving this review in exchange for an ARC copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I loved this one so much! I had a hard time putting it down to live life. Lol! Sadly I’m being serious.
These two meet when he’s on a mission and he literally stumbles onto her. He isn’t there to save her, but he knows he will. Him and his team.
These two are perfect for each other and this is almost an insta-love story. I’m so happy they found each other and they complete each other. Now I can hardly wait for Gramps story!

This is book three in the series, but you can read it all its own with no issues. Each story is about a separate couple.

LOVED this book! Molly is an engineer who was kidnapped along with a group of young girls in Niger - however, her kidnappers have no patience for her and throw her into a hole in the ground to stop her escape attempts. Smoke is with the rest of his Silverstone Towing team searching for a terrorist they've been tasked with killing, when he falls over Molly. Their unusual meeting leads to a engaging story, as the real reason Molly was in Niger becomes apparent.

I was totally engrossed in the story and found myself flipping pages just as quickly as possible. Don't start this book too late in the day, as you won't be able to put it down. I loved the characters and the way they seemed to come alive on the page. The author made me feel invested in their story and wanting them to get a HEA ending.

If you are a fan of the genre, you will love this book. While part of a series, this is a stand alone novel, however, it's so good that you really owe to yourself to read them all. This book is a must read - put it at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list.
