But she was skittish, and seemingly not interested in any kind of relationship. But … relationship. But he slowly wore her down and convinced her to take a chance on him.
But when the reason she fled her hometown shows up unexpectedly, Lucky has a feeling the woman he loves more than anything is ready to bolt once more. But when danger strikes out of nowhere, Lucky, and the rest of his Delta team, have to band together to find one of their own.

This is Lucky and Devyn’s story and it’s good! Devyn is Grover’s younger sister and she’s been through a lot in her life. She comes to Texas trying to avoid a situation that could throw her family into turmoil. She doesn’t expect to find Lucky, her brother’s team mate, or to long for something deep with him.
Lucky knows instantly when he meet Devyn that she’s special and that he wants her. He knows she’s reticent about opening up to him, but he doesn’t know why. Deltas are really good at getting to the bottom of things and achieving their goals and Lucky is one determined Delta.
This is book 6 in the Delta Team Two series. Lucky, a Delta force operator, met Devyn, the sister of one of his teammates, about a year ago. Devyn moved to be near her brother. The reason she gave was an unwanted advance from her old boss but that was not the real reason. For Lucky it was love at first sight but Devyn has put up barriers so he’s settled for friendship. After being friends for a year Devyn decides to stop fighting her feelings and agrees to date Lucky. Watching Devyn and Lucky navigate their fledgling relationship while dealing with rescued animals and family secrets is an engaging, emotional, heart breaking, uplifting, loving, heart pounding roller coaster ride of all the feelings. On their way to their HEA, Devyn and Lucky grow and strengthen beautifully as individuals and as a couple. This book shows that sometimes the things in our lives that first appear to be disasters turn out to be unexpected blessings instead. This book has a little bit of everything just like you would expect from a Susan Stoker story – sweet moments, strong friendships, fan your face sexy times, real life issues, imperfect characters, dangerous high stress situations, and so much love. Susan Stoker continues to be the queen of military romance. And Lucky loving on traumatized animals causes all the swoons.
new release from Susan Stoker!!!
I love this series. Finished this book in less than a day. Cannot wait for the next one.
Amazing series!!!!
i am never ever disappointed in a Susan Stoker book and I’ve read them all of them (some more than once.) Shielding Devyn is another winner! How can you not adore Lucky? He’s patient, caring, empathetic, loyal and loving. To top it all off he’s a Delta…swoon. Oh and he loves animals. Devyn has had to be a fighter most of her life because of a childhood disease. Now she just wants to be “normal.” Being in Texas with her brother Grover, his team and their women has made her feel that. Most of all her ever growing feelings for Lucky make her feel safe but does she dare to give into them? Finally trusting enough to let Lucky shoulder part of the secret burden she’s been carrying for what seems like forever, the past comes calling and not in a good way. Lucky and the Delta team go all out to rescue Devyn and bring her home safely.
Well, what can I say – very wonderful story. As expected. Too Bad there’s only two books left in the series 🙁
Omg I loved lucky. He has amazing and total book boyfriend material. Wow. Hotness and so sensitive and caring. Him with the pets was adorable and made me want to cry. Ugh. I really liked devyn but it was annoying when she took so long to tell anyone what was going on. I mean I get not wanting to rock the boat but come one for the safety of your brother when you found about a $50k return I would be worried for his life and safety. Yes I’d stop talking to him and cut him out of my life for my own sanity and protection but not until I knew someone else could offer help. Hiding it only put herself and Spencer in jeopardy. Loved how the girls brought her into the fold. Lucky and Devon were so perfect together. Just having this effortless connection. Laughing and being about to easily coexist. Loved it and can’t wait for ember and sierras book!!!
Loved this book. Lucky and a visit to an animal shelter. Bravo. This is Lucky and Devyn’s story — full of family and complications, friends who are family and their support. Romance and strength, fun and warmth, shared hugs and tears. So much more. This is another page turner by Susan Stoker. Huge bravo!! I need to add to my Susan Stoker library!
It’s another great book in the series!
Sexy, funny, touching & suspenseful.
Lucky, has cared for Devyn from
moment he meet her.
Devyn, has been hiding a secret.
Will she be able to open up & trust
someone, especially Lucky.
From the first chapter until the last
I was totally captivated.
This book is a must read!!
He’s more than Lucky
Shielding Devyn is book 6 in the Delta Team 2 series and I can admit I did not want to put it down and if I could’ve gotten away with not doing chores or dropping the kid to school, I probably would’ve finished it in one sitting
Suffice to say I really enjoyed finding out why Devyn left Missouri and moved closer to her brother but I also loved the hints for what’s coming next. There was also one moment where Devyn’s brother Spencer does something really selfless that had me close to balling Spectacular story and a must read

Ever Susan Stoker book is five stars, imho. Shielding Devyn is no exception. If you’ve read the series (it’s not necessary to enjoy this book) you’ve met Devyn already. I must confess that I sort of didn’t like her. Of course I changed my mind because her story is as compelling as every other storyline Susan writes. I loved Lucky and his persistence in making Devyn his. Angel and Whiskers, the pets Lucky adopts, are great secondary characters as are the rest of the Delta Force team. The intrigue was intense as always. The teaser for the last two books in the series leaves you wanting more.
Can I first say how much I love Susan Stoker’s books!! And Shielding Devyn is a definite favorite! They make such a fantastic pair, just reading it you could feel the love between Lucky & Devyn and the heartache Devyn felt from the issues she was involved in. Susan Stoker is a rock star!
I devoured this book all in one sitting and loved every minute of it. This story had romance, action and heart that I couldn’t get enough of and had me flipping the pages to read more. I loved Lucky and Devyn together and how their relationship developed throughout this story. I loved Lucky’s kind heart which he showed time and time again. I enjoyed Devyn’s friendship with the other women and how they helped her. Another great book in this series and looking forward to reading the next one.
Characters feel like they are part of your circle. Lucky and Devyn are awesome. The book makes the characters experience a range of emotions.
Susan Stoker hits another one out of the ballpark with this great novel that is full of action and romance while dealing with real life issues like addiction. Love the relationship between Devyn and Lucky. Stoker makes us all wish we had a “Lucky” to take home!
Lucky & Devyn’s story itself isn’t as intense as others by this author. They’ve known each other for about a year, we’ve seen them dancing around each other throughout the series, and when they get together, it’s a sigh of relief. We’re ready for them to have their HEA! I adore Lucky & his interactions w/ Grover & the rest of the team. Devyn’s relationship w/ Grover (Fred) is also done really well, and I enjoyed the banter she & Lucky have with each other.
Their relationship just … fits. And there are some SUPER CUTE scenes with them & the pets Lucky adopts. I love love love Angel & Whiskers!!!
The trouble that comes knocking on Devyn’s door, however… although she doesn’t think it’s as serious as what the other women have been through, for me, it was almost MORE frightening because of the way it’s executed. You’ll have to read & let me know what you think!
Excellent story, as always, and the look into the next two books made me – as always – want them both NOW NOW NOW. LOL I can be patient, tho.
: )
