Tanner “Maverick” Richardson has learned the hard way not to take life too seriously—except for his job as a member of an elite United States Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance Unit. This calling gives him a purpose and helps to cleanse the stains of a past he’d rather forget . . . at least until a previous mission returns to haunt them, thrusting him right back into the middle of his most painful … painful memories . . . but this time, maybe he can find his way to salvation with the help of one tiny, beautiful, blonde package.
Rebekah Keegan takes pride in being an independent woman. Orphaned as a child, she supports herself and her ailing grandfather, and it’s just them against the world—but even she can admit it would be nice to have someone to help shoulder the burden, especially when she starts to feel someone watching her. Little does she know she’s not as alone as she once thought. She had no idea she had a family, much less a long-lost cousin who is none other than John “Tex” Keegan, one of the most beloved and badass Navy SEALs of all-time.
So who is this handsome stranger who claims her cousin sent him to save her?
Can she trust him? Can she trust her heart?
Ultimately, she may not have a choice. He’s there on a mission to protect her from the newest Kingpin of the deadly Mexican drug cartel that has put the Marines and SEAL team that took down his mentor, and everyone they care about, in his crosshairs. This leader is more brutal, more blood-thirsty, and more hellbent on revenge than his predecessor, and he’s already begun his devious plot of vengeance by contracting the most dangerous hacker around—the only one who can rival Tex, and who has already figured out how to hit the team where their heart is.

This story was soooo good! I fell in love with Maverick and Rebekah and I WANT MORE!! LOL!! This story has it all, excitement, mystery and a whole lot of lovin’!
Maverick was going back to Mississippi to protect Rebekah from the Drug Cartel, a place he had no good memories of. The drug cartel is back in business after their last bust and they are out for blood. They are targeting the seals and their families and the marines and ones their related to. We get to see Tex and his family again and Wolf’s team. Lost of action and love at the end. Great read.
A Great Novella in the Special Forces: Operation Alpha World!
What a great novella in Susan Stoker’s Special Forces: Operation Alpha World! If you are familiar with Susan Stoker’s SEAL of Protection Team – Wolf, Caroline, Abe, Alabama, Cookie, Fiona, Mozart, Summer, etc. this is the story of how Tanner, aka Maverick, meets Tex’s new-to-him cousin, Rebekah. Tanner and Rebekah could be an amazing team, as long as Tanner can protect her from a drug cartel intent on eliminating her. I love all of the characters, but I love Rebekah’s grandfather the most!
It was an easy read and shorter than I expected, but that’s on me for not realizing it was a novella (100 pages)! It absolutely could have been much longer, in my opinion, because it was so well written with (obviously) great characters and a fast paced plot. I wish it was a bit longer and wrapped up the drug cartel drama better, but then it would have been a novel and not a novella, as all of the books in this Kindle World are! Kudos to Shauna for taking the framework of Susan Stoker’s SEAL characters and writing an excellent companion book that I couldn’t tell wasn’t one of the original series!
Rescuing Rebekah is part of Susan Stokers kindle world and can be read as a standalone. This book would be enhanced if read along with previous books as the characters build up with each book. Life is hard enough, but when your past comes to taunt you, it is even worse. In a previous mission, the team was sent to eliminate a target, the leader of the drug cartel. Now his predecessor steps up and plans on getting his revenge. Rebekah ends up in his crosshairs, and Tanner is sent to protect her. Little do they know, they are going to find more than just security. This story was amazing, and I highly recommend it!
This is the first book I have read from this author, but will definitely be reading more. Ms. Allen does a wonderful job balancing the action, suspense and mystery in this intriguing story. All the characters have a strong presence and are well developed with a flowing storyline containing non-stop action and some romance. She does a great job of blending the characters from the Special Forces world into her story; lots of familiar characters make appearances. I adore Tanner and Rebekah, they make such a great couple. Despite his misgivings about returning home he puts that aside to help his fellow teammates in a crisis. He dives right into the fray of danger, not giving it a second thought. He has a strong commanding presence with a take charge attitude when necessary and a sweet side for romance. And she is a sweetheart. She is genuine, kind and determined with a heart of gold. She fights through her hardships to take care of her dying grandfather the best way she knows how. Rescuing Rebekah is an action packed heartwarming romantic suspense you will definitely enjoy.
