Ex-Green Beret Colin Doyle has the most maddening, frustrating job in Washington D.C.—protecting the First Daughter of the United States. Erin Anderson is irresistibly beautiful, quick-witted and cunning, completely untouchable—and apparently bound and determined to lure him out of his dark shades and neutral suit.From the moment Colin took over her security detail, Erin has felt their sizzling … sizzling connection, and caught glimpses of a heart bigger than his protective streak. Yet the cool, no-nonsense mercenary has resisted every temptation her wit and cunning can cook up.
When she’s targeted by a home-grown terrorist, and Colin is forced to take Erin and run, keeping his distance is no longer an option. But as their attraction melts into desire, it becomes horrifyingly clear Erin is just pawn in a much bigger game—and it’ll take calling in the world’s most dangerous backup to beat a fast-ticking clock on the President’s life.
If they fail, all hell will break loose.

This is one amazing book! I loved the chemistry between Colin and Erin. There is so much action in this one I thought it was almost over and saw I was only 50% into the book! It has a hot backups agent, a bratty president’s daughter, shootouts, car crashes and chases, things blowing up, a President who is mad as hell and ready too kick some butt, hot steamy sexy scenes and love. We also get a look at what happens down the road for our Red Team and their families. Loved the wrap up.
Red Team Rocks
The final story for the Red Team is everything I expected and MOREErin and Colin have great chemistry, Erin’s father Tom aka US President is my kind of man – funny, kick@$$ and a gentleman with major skills
I loved the insight to the team as the years progress at the end and with their families….gave me goosebumps I look forward to reading more books by Riley and especially looking forward to more books including Zane and his team of SF men
Rescuing Erin is quite possibly one of the most suspenseful romance I’ve ever read. Talk about being invested. I gasped, held my breath and sat at the edge of my seat as events unfolded. I could not put the book down in anticipation of what might happen next. Colin Doyle was a man possessed as Erin Anderson became more than just a job. His fierce loyalty, caring and protectiveness was powerful. Erin’s journey to self awareness of her attitudes and actions as well as the sacrifices of others was pretty remarkable too. Having all the Z Corps Teams, Red, Gold and Blue, in addition to two Susan Stoker Delta Force teams involved was icing on the cake.
Riley Edwards does not disappoint!! Love love love this writer and this book!! Highly recommend!!
I am so excited to read this book. It is a great story and quite entertaining and engaging there are totally unexpected scenes, twist and turns with realistic details.
There is so much I could say but would not want to give away any spoilers.
Riley Edwards went above and beyond on this one. This one is absolutely amazing!!!! All the teams coming together just made it even better.
HOLY shhhhhhhhhmokes…what a heart thumping, rollercoaster ride we get to go on in this book. My heart didn’t know whether to race, jump or stop in this action packed, special ops romance between Colin (an Alpha man who didn’t have a clue about what was about to hit him) and Erin (a feisty, strong, speak your mind woman).
I have devoured everything this author has written and this book is no exception. In fact I am pretty sure I have burns on my fingers from frantically flipping pages.
If you love black ops stories, your men strong yet gooey centred…kinda like chocolate and caramel…yumm…anyway.. and your women determined yet soft – then this is THE book to one click. There’s action, drama, suspense, steam, laughs and amazing relationships that will keep you engaged in Erin and Colin’s story.
This is part of the Special Forces: Operation Alpha/Red Team series a well written story that held my interest throughout. This is Ex-Green Beret Colin Doyle and First Daughter of the United States Erin Anderson’s story. The last book in this series and I can hardly wait until the next series starts.

What a great chapter to the Red Team and Z Corps. I’ve read all the books and am absolutely in love with this series and author. It was a page turner, from the first page. The things that Colin says to Erin and swoonworthy and perfectly normal for an alpha male. I laughed, I cried, I couldn’t wait to find out what would happen next.
There is a wonderful description of what/who/how the military works, that was very beneficial to someone like me who did not know. The other parts that I Ioved was when Colin thought – “All I needed for her was to take the first step, and I’d lead her where I wanted her”. Another was when he said to Erin that Tom was not disappointed in you, it’s us, the situation we are in. Colin was a gentlemen, through and through and Ms. Edwards gave several examples in her descriptive writing. I was inside the story, and that’s what I love about a good story and author, they transport you.
I loved the interaction with all Ms. Stoker’s characters, it was great to see them all again. I absolutely recommend this author and any of her stories. One CLICK all the way.
I received this advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.
If you don’t get hooked into the book within the first chapter, what is wrong with you. The tension jumps off the page and intrigue keeps you glued to the pages. I loved the intensity, the mystery as well as the attraction. The characters were strong and very well rounded, so much so that I will go back and read the book prior to this so I can catch up. One of the best books I have read so far this year.
This author’s books are always very well written and enjoyable. It is mesmerizing, suspenseful, emotional, surprising and has lots of danger and twists and turns. I couldn’t wait to turn each page to see what is happening next. I hated to see it end as I love it. She is the president’s daughter and he is assigned to guard her. They have interactions between them where they butt heads. Then things go from bad to worse and they go on the run. I highly recommend it. I received a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.
This is probably one of the best “military-exmilitary” books I’ve read. The author has a gift of being able to develop both her characters and storyline extremely well. I have read one of the previous ones which was good, but this one far exceeds it. Definitely a superior read!

Omg where do I begin with this book? First of all holy smokes this book will have you sucked in after the first 2 pages and keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you there until the end of the book. Riley Edwards know how to write these characters that make you want to be them or be with the men. If you haven’t read her books please do because you will be addicted right away lol.
Great Job Riley. There is so much drama and action going on. If u have read the previous books u know what the Red Team is about and the men in the group. This book is about Erin and Colin (ex-green beret and part of Red Team. There is so much going on in this book, if u have read the previous books you know who Erin’s father is and the trouble Colin has had in protecting her. But she’s not what she seems as Colin finds out later when trouble strikes. U will meet the teams from other groups you have read about as well. Sure there is some heat between them, but doesn’t go the way Erin wants it too, it’d be a spoiler if I told u. But she’s not the only one in danger. This book was great, it wasn’t all about the sex.
A testament of a good author is someone who managed to change the views of the reader during the course of reading the book (for the better!). This is true when it comes to Riley Edwards books. To be honest, I went into this book with prejudice. I did not like Erin and I find Colin to be an asshole, I have to grit my teeth and tell MYSELF not the be the asshole and have an open mind LOL. As I delved further into this book I began to understand Erin’s point of view and I understand why Colin acts the way he acted. Ms Edwards successfully marries the world of Red Team and Susan Stoker’s SF:OA and we see many of our beloved characters from that series making cameos.
This book is go-go-go. It doesn’t have a downtime or when you might think that everything is a-okay, something happened and it gets your adrenaline pumping again. It is by far, her grittiest book and I winced at some of the scenes. It is also one of the saddest for me as this is the end of the Red Team series. Riley Edwards gave us the sweetest of epilogue (thank you!) and I teared up. I’m hopeful that Ms Edwards will continue with the 2nd Generation just as she did with the 707 series. However, all is not lost as I am very positive that we will be getting the Gold Team series in the near future.
I really hate to see this series coming to an end but as the saying goes “All Good Things Comes To An End”. However, Ms Edwards, as one of your ardent fan/readers and I’m not above begging here, I really would LOVE to read POTUS Tom Anderson and FLOTUS Clarrisa Anderson’s story. Even with limited appearances in the book, their chemistry just sizzles.
Do you need to read the books in order? You don’t have to but I highly recommend that you do. You will not regret picking up this series, the only regret that you have is having to read “The End”.

What an amazing story!
Riley Edwards has quickly made her way to being one of my favorite authors. The stories she writes are utterly fantastic! They are raw, real, and emotional and will keep you wrapped in suspense on the edge of your seat from the first word to the last. I can never turn the pages fast enough but I am always sad to see the stories come to an end. Reading her work, I feel like an old friend coming home, catching up on gossip and family when visiting her characters in their world. There is always such a strong, steady bond that flows through them all, whether it is from being brothers’ in arms or being the strong, resilient women who stand by their sides, there is an unspoken thread that holds them all together; they will go above and beyond and do whatever it takes to protect the ones they love.
Rescuing Erin is a fabulous read. I loved Colin and Erin, both are great characters and they complement each other well. I enjoyed that their relationship was not an instant one; it was one that had to be fought for on both sides. They had a rocky start, always arguing and frustrating each other. Erin for just wanting to be treated as an adult and given information so it made her seem like a spoiled, petulant princess throwing a tantrum when she did not get her way and Colin for being gruff and abrupt and always staying tight-lipped, trying to keep her at arm’s length doing his job and wanting to keep her in the dark. Their relationship was not roses and rainbows but when they each finally let down their guards and listened to the other and understood what they were saying and where they were coming from a wonderful, trusting unbreakable bond stated to form. I liked the fact that they took the time to really get to know each other, making sure being together was what they both truly wanted not just taking advantage of the high emotions and situation they were thrust into before they dove into bed. And I also liked the fact that the sex did not take over the book. Colin and Erin’s encounters were well placed in the story and fit perfectly with what was happening in the storyline, though their chemistry was sizzling throughout the read. It was also a delight to see a lot of Susan Stoker’s characters added in the mix. This book is part of Stoker’s Special Forces World so I did expect to see a few pop in, but wow, there were many and it was awesome! Edwards did a great job of including her Delta, SEALs, and even the new Legacy boys in the story. There is tons of alpha testosterone and serious ass-kicking action to keep you engrossed in this book. Edwards’ other characters from the previous stories in the series are included, as well, and we get to catch up with them all as forgiveness is sought, new friendships are formed, battles are fought and won, rescues are made, new relationships are solidified, good news shared and celebrations enjoyed and, of course, some bad guys annihilated. We are even given a bonus look into the near distant future and what it has in store for these incredible characters and their families. And I have to admit, it was one of my favorite parts of the book (and I may have even teared up for a moment or two). This book contains everything you could possibly want in good romantic suspense. It is full of fun, laughs, deep-hearted conversations, life, and death, shock and awe, twists and turns, romance, mystery and more. It does not disappoint!
