One minute, Casey Shea was minding her own business, doing her job, teaching entomology to college students, and the next she was in the middle of the Costa Rican, jungle fighting for her life. Troy “Beatle” Lennon has watched his friends fall head over heels in love, but never thought it would happen to him. Until he sees a picture of his teammate’s sister. That was it. The absolute joy in her … joy in her eyes calls to him in a way he can’t understand.
But that joy is currently being threatened by an unknown person who had Casey kidnapped and hidden deep in the jungle. It’s up to Beatle to find her and keep her safe until the threat can be neutralized. Surviving the dangers of the jungle turns out to be the easy part…staying ahead of the killer is much more complicated…and deadly.

I was completely captivated by this book from the opening scene. It was such an emotional, pulse pounding hit from the start and the action, suspense and adventure were great and lasted from the beginning to end of this book. I was stunned to learn who the bad guy was and the warped reason behind it all. Shocking and twisted…and just wow! The author does an amazing job of drawing this out and keeping you hooked until the big reveal. The characters were all fantastic, as usual, and the storyline was fast paced and well-written. The author also does a phenomenal job of portraying the love, devotion and family between these guys and their women in every book and I am looking forward to the next adventure with these remarkable characters. There are also three separate teasers in the back of this book for the upcoming books in this series and they all sound amazing…so make sure to check those out. This is another great addition to the Delta Force Heroes.
Beetle is definitely my new favorite! There is nothing about this guy that I was not enraptured with…he is totally swoon worthy. He is upfront and honest with Blade regarding his intentions and feelings for his sister, Casey and upfront and honest with Casey, herself, regarding his feelings, where she stands with him and that he wants them to have a chance. He is caring, protective, gentle, compassionate, understanding and patient with Casey in every way and does a wonderful job of showing her support and lending her an ear to listen and shoulder to cry on. He vows to stand by her side regardless of how things progress with them on a personal level, never pressuring her, and stands true to his word. He is always there when she needs him most. And Casey is just astounding. She has such an inner-strength to her that is amazing to see. Even with all the trauma she has faced and the continued uncertainty of her safety as well as the upheaval of her entire life she stands strong and perseveres. She does not whine and cower or question and argue with Beetle or any of the other guys regarding her safety or their plans where she is concerned. She listens, processes and accepts what is happening or she is told to do, knowing it is all for her benefit and to protect her. And through it all she manages to remain herself and keeps her sense of humor and pleasant disposition. She works with the guys to solve the mystery behind her kidnapping but knows when to step aside and let them do what they do, no questions asked. I also loved the fact that she was not a damsel in distress; she took action and stayed true to herself. It was also great to see her welcomed into the fold of the Delta’s and their women and the interaction between them all. There were also a few celebrated secrets that brought a smile to my face and you cannot help but love little Annie, she is precious, and her surprise gift was awesome. You can feel the love, devotion and family between all these guys and their women in every book. This book is a win-win all the way!
*I voluntarily read/reviewed an ARC of this book.
Casey Shea is a professor of entomology who os in the jungles of Costa Rica with three other students when things go south, and now and the other students are fighting for their lives.
Troy “Beatle” Lennon has seen all his friends fall in love, but never thought that this would ever happen to him, that is until he sees a picture of one of his teammates, and that was it fir him, the things he saw in her eyes called to him in a way he did not understand.
It’s up to Beatle to find her and keep her safe until the threat against her can be stoped and he can bring her home, but it does not stop there, and now Beatle not only finds that he loves her, but he has to keep her safe and well loved.
Will they neutralize the person or persons that are after Casey, will they find their happily after, trust me its a great, touching and funny at times story, all the characters we have come to love are back and as good as they can be.

Blade has just found out his sister and 3 of her students have been kidnapped. The team head out to find them. Beatle is instantly attracted to her by just her picture and tells Blade. He gives his blessing. Now they just need to find them and rescue them. They need to find out why they were kidnapped in the first place.
Another amazing story from Susan Stoker. The teasers at the end put you on edge waiting for her next release. Hope you love them all as much as I do.
This is book 7 in the Delta Force Heroes Series, and is such a GREAT READ!!
This is Beatle’s and Casey’s (who is teammate Blades sister) story. In this story, we find Casey has been kidnapped, and the Deltas go in to rescue her. This is NOT your normal kidnapping… Absolutely nothing was normal at all… Then why was she kidnapped? Why are they still after her? Who is behind all of this not-normal behavior??
These are just some questions that you will have as you read it. This story is well paced (like usual), and is another can’t-put-it-down masterpiece.
Her teasers at the end??? Truly Susan Stoker Genius and evil. Bwahahaha Now, I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE LAST 3!!!!! UGH!!!!! lol I am alittle perplexed by the Chase (Raynes brother) and Sadie one, but it is just piquing my interest that much more. Blades story sounds soooooo gooooooooood!!! And that leaves Truck and (ahem) Mary (LOL)…pure genius and sooooooooooo mean with that darn tease!!! U G H ! ! ! ! ! How could she do this to me?? I thought I was her favorite stalker of all time? LOL he he he
You will really want to read this book to see how the bug lady deals with the Bug Man (Annies name for Beatle)… Also…How did Beatle get his name? Is it because he screams like a little girl when he sees bugs???? Hmmmmm?
Pure genius of Susan Stoker to put these 2 together and how she did it is so perfect!!!
Get the book already…why r u still reading this? Go… 1 click… NOW! *wink*
Wow! I loved this book. I started it one night, and had to put it down because it was getting very late, and I needed to get some sleep. I wasn’t able to read the next day, but when I picked it up again I finished it because I didn’t want to stop. Twists and turns that just made the story better and better.
Beatle had fallen for Casey just by seeing her picture, and there was a real connection from the moment he rescued her. He wants to protect her and keep her safe, but also understands that there are things she needs to handle on her own. Never underestimate a “bug lady”. Annie makes an appearance and is as adorable as ever.
There are teasers for upcoming books, making bits of this story even better. Just read it, you’ll be glad you did.
Oh WOW! This one hit the deck running! The setup was started in Rescuing Bryn (Book 6) and picks up in a race against time. Strong leads and backup characters support a fantastic story line with a twist I didn’t see coming. Love Susan Stoker’s books and this one is way up there on my list of favoriets
