For Sidney Hale, rescuing dogs is more than a hobby. It’s a calling. A deep-seated need. An unstoppable compulsion. For reasons so unsettling, she shares them with no one…until she meets Decker. After coming to her rescue while Sidney battled to save a dog—literally—the gorgeous SEAL proves he can be trusted with her secrets, her safety…maybe even her heart. Saving an abused pit bull from a … from a suspected dog fighter brings Decker “Gumby” Kincade not only the dog he’s always wanted, but the first woman in ages to catch his interest. Sidney’s reason for rescuing Hannah, and animals like her, is shocking…but it makes Gumby want her even more. Her harrowing past has made her the strong, brave, compassionate woman she is today. She could be The One…if Gumby can help curb her habit of putting herself squarely in danger’s path.
But he may be too late. Hannah’s previous owner is enraged over her loss…and looking for revenge.

loved this story
Enjoyed this book.
Loved the book. Sidney has a one track mind about abused dogs, she’s not concerned about her safety. Hey life hasn’t been easy, but Gumby is worried about her and frustrated. The main action happened at the end of the book. HEA
Susan Stoker writes amazing stories. They are happy and entertaining and I highly recommend.
Susan Stoker always delivers a good read! I feel like I know the characters and want to keep up with each of them.
this story makes you realize and think about how much a family impacts your life and deals with the strength it takes to become your own person
Loved this book !!! Couldn’t put it down, and after finishing it, I bought the next two books . Read this , you’ll LOVE it ,
I love all of Susan’s books and this is another one to add to the list! As usual I also learned something new from her book. Pit bulls, dog rescue and dog fighting. Her books are always well researched and because of that I learn something new. Not to mention a romance with a Hot Navy SEAL!!!
Great book!!
This book is full of action from beginning to end. It is a book you have trouble putting down once you start reading it. Sydney takes dangerous risks trying to rescue dogs from an evil man who trains dogs to fight. She meets Decker, a Navy Seal, when he saves her and the pit bull she rescued. When they become a couple, Sydney reveals why she risks her life to save dogs. If that isn’t enough to keep you reading then what happens to Sydney when the dog fighter kidnaps her will really keep you reading. I highly recommend this book.
Just wow. I love animals. So I’m right there with Sidney on several occasions but not all. She obviously suffers from psychological trauma from her childhood and needs professional help and it manifests in this compulsion to help even tot he detriment of her safety. I love Decker “Gumby”. He is hot and steamy but gentlemanly. And in love with her and Hannah their pup. Mild spoiler: I do think he had every right and should have been a little bit mad at her after the danger that she put her self and others in. But I can see how her safety won over that and he was just happy to have her alive. Love their fur baby Hannah and how she bounces back. Love this author and her alpha- hero series. This the third series have read.
Thank you for an interesting story about a horrendous sport. It was action packed and kept my interest to the very end. I cannot wait to read the next installment about another rescue!!!!!
“Securing Sidney” is the second book in the SEAL of Protection: Legacy series and it is a fantastic book that grabs the reader from the very first page and doesn’t let up. It is the story of Decker “Gumby” Kincade and Sidney Hale and features an adorable pit bull puppy by the name of Hannah.
Sidney is a strong, independent and somewhat compulsive person but she has a heart of gold. A lot of times she doe’s what she feels is necessary without thinking things through and this leads her to trouble more times than not. One of those times is how Gumby meets Sidney, while she is trying to protect a little abused puppy. Gumby is a protective, possessive alpha that has recently been through a mission gone sideways. A mission where his one regret was not having a dog and he has no problem rescuing the little cutie that Sidney has just stolen. Gumby is shocked to find out that the spitfire named Sidney has also stolen his heart. Now if he can only get Sidney to agree to not tackle dog fighters without him with her. That is going to be a tough job for sure.
This was a great book, dealing with a sad situation so it has all the feels. Five stars all the way!!!
I loved listening to Securing Sidney on audiobook. It had great narration, an engaging storyline, a swoon-worthy alpha hero, a heroine that I could like and root for, and Hannah, a rescue pit bull who was an absolute love bug!
Susan Stoker audiobooks are my go to listen when I need something I know will keep me entertained and invested.
-5 Stars-
Oh my this one had my heart pounding. Sidney has such a huge heart it hurt what she had to go through, but Decker was there for her the entire way. Definitely recommend.
Honestly I thought my heart was going to come out of my chest it was beating so hard and fast in the climatic scene in Securing Sidney. Whew! Susan Stoker really poured edge of your seat drama and suspense into this one. Sidney Hale is so tragically scared by unimaginable events in her childhood that her behavior is recklessly dangerous. But, her heart is in the right place and hugely compassionate. If you’d told Decker “Gumby” Kinkade that he’d meet the woman he’s been longing for in the middle of a fistfight with a man no less, he would have laughed out loud. Now convincing her that she’s more than worthy of his love may be the hardest thing he’s ever done.
The second book in the series, Sidney Hale fights her past and Decker “Gumpy” tries his best to help her. But those who that are almost to far gone are hard to be helped – and when shit hits the fan and Sidney is about to fight for her life, she only can hope for Decker and his team to arrive in time… Great story.
Action packed read full of great characters and a plot that is suspenseful and heart stopping at times .I love dogs and hate that this sort of thing goes on in real life, that they are treated so badly and deliberately bred to be vicious and given a bad name. Most dogs are loyal and loving, if given care and proper training, even those rescues who haven’t had the best starts if given the chance will turn into a humans best friend. This story shows both sides of that, it also shows compassion and an abiding need to help save those at risk. Intense at times, loving at others and downright scary a few times as well, it can be a bit hard to take for dog lovers but this happens for real and the plot just highlights what lengths those in the business will go to, yes this story is fiction but I know it could just as easily be true. I loved Sidney, her past defines who she is and how she behaves, her love of dogs and any animal is unshakeable. I love the guys and just how fast they not only accept but take her as family. Fabulous story as always from Susan Stoker.
Good story. What Sidney went through as a child scarred her, but with the love of Decker, she will overcome.
I love this author and can’t put down her books. Never been disappointed by any of her books.
