Rescuing Mary

Delta Force Heroes, Book 9

By: Susan Stoker

Narrated by: Stella Bloom

Ford “Truck” Laughlin and Mary Weston have weathered their share of storms over the last couple years. Truck’s job, Mary’s health. His bossiness, her bitchiness. All while dancing around their intense attraction. Mary’s tried to push him away for his own good but Truck won’t let her give up…on herself or on them. Just when she decides they deserve a fair shot, disaster strikes.

Truck has wanted Mary since the moment he saw her. The prickly woman pushes all his buttons and looks beyond his scarred exterior, something few women have managed. His plan to take their relationship to the next level is stalled when he’s injured on a mission. And he’s barely feeling like his old self again before the couple is dealt another blow, one that could permanently end their chances…and their lives.

*Rescuing Mary is the 9th book in the Delta Force Heroes series. Usually my books are stand-alones, but in this case, I feel you would get more enjoyment out of the story if you listened to the other books first, since Mary and Truck’s relationship evolves throughout the series. If nothing else, I recommend listening to the first book in the series, Rescuing Rayne, where their relationship began.

Proud Mary!!

They saved the best for last! Though I love each and every team member and their women, I’ve been dying for this story. I’m sad it’s come to an end but I’m so glad to see the how/where/where/why of Mary and Truck’s togetherness.

This story has it all. Fun, serious and tearful moments surrounded by a helluva lot awesomeness in between. Truck has been one of my favorites from the beginning. He’s the big, scary looking Delta but that’s why they say don’t judge a book by its cover. He may look hard on the outside (and he is or can be) but he’s just as much of a teddy bear to the right people.

Tragic events happen in life, it’s never easy and god knows Mary has been through something every woman (and a lot of men) fear. cancer. It sucks the will to stay strong right out of you. Going through it a second time, well that’s just kicking a sick person in the guy while they’re down.

Through out it all Mary had Truck to hep her get through it. So when Truck needs her to return the favor she does. Times get hard, relationships are put to the ultimate test but in the end Mary and Truck can overcome anything as long as they do it together.

I also love how Susan added each couple into the Epilogue (as she did with the seal team books) its always great to see how everyone ends up after a series ends.

Mind Blown!

I knew this was going to be the last book in this series and I was worried it wouldn't live up to the expectations I had but I was wrong. So good! I loved it.

Be still my heart..

We meet Truck and Mary in book 1 (Rescuing Rayne) and they grow throughout the series. This book is one of my favorite by Susan Stoker. Truck and Mary face ups and downs throughout the series and their story, but their story wraps up in THE best way imaginable. The narration was on point yet again. Stella Bloom is by far my favorite female narrator. There isn't any background noise and the dictation is clear throughout the entire book. Happy reading!

Love the whole series

This is the best book series ever!!!! I have listened to all of Susan Stokers books and love that they are all intertwined.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the epilogue!!!! I love hearing about all their lives down the road.

Wow. Just wow!

This was a beautiful end to the series. I am never disappointed in a Susan Stoker book and this is one of her finest. I can't wait to start on the next series.

Rescuing Mary was it worth the wait?

Yes I believe it was worth the wait. Susan Stoker bought a great ending to a great series. Truck and Mary’s journey wasn’t and easy one but they had each other and their friends.

What an awesome ending..

Mary has always been a wise ass and prickly when pushed, but Truck loves her from the start and stood by her when she was at her worse and fighting cancer. Now that their secret marriage is out in the open, their friends are mad and Mary is at her wits end on how to fix it. To add more stress, Mary has finally acknowledged that she loves Truck, always had, but is it too late? Will she have a chance to tell him and get her marriage to work for real even after Truck is seriously injured in a mission? It’ll take all of her strength to save the man she loves and fight for the life she wants.
After so long, we finally have Mary’s story and the story behind what she and Truck have been keeping from their friends all of these years. The story was good and while we know and understand Mary a lot better now, she was working my nerves through the whole book. I’m sure there are many people similar to her in real life but damn, you had to dig deep to like. She was a handful and Truck is a freaking saint.
The story was great, but the glimpse into the future for the team and their families was the best. I absolutely love Annie😆 I can’t wait to see the new team find what the Delta team has- the journey continues.

Must read!!

Such a good story! I didn’t want it to end. Stella Bloom has spoiled me for any other narrator. She is amazing!

Great wrap up for this series!

Perfect ending for this series, leaving the best for last. Also left us with a complete update on all the characters while leaving some mysterious questions unanswered.
