Renting out the apartment over his garage shouldn't be a life-changing decision, but when Delta soldier Cormac "Fletch" Fletcher meets Emily Grant, he feels an instant connection. He can't stand the thought of Emily and her young daughter living anywhere unsafe. Offering cheap rent is a small price to pay for their safety…and Fletch's peace of mind.
Being a single mother is difficult at best, but renting the extremely affordable space from Fletch makes Emily's life a lot easier…until it doesn't. Suddenly all the money she's saving thanks to Fletch's generosity is going into the hands of a blackmailer. And what little food Emily can afford goes to her daughter Annie, so the girl doesn't go to bed hungry…leaving Emily weaker and weaker.
When miscommunication has Emily assuming Fletch is in on the blackmail, he not only has to gain her trust, but also deal with a man holding a grudge against Fletch and his entire Delta Force team. A task made more difficult when the dangerous man gets his hands on Emily and Annie...

My Thoughts:
Cormac “Fletch” Fletcher is a man who doesn’t give up. He’s also a man that cares about the welfare
of others. Emily Grant is looking for
something better for her daughter. Her
daughter’s name is Annie and she will steal your heart right from the
beginning. Emily reminded me of how much
enjoyment I got out of having my mother read to me.
Our author has created a villain that seems to have a screw, or
maybe even a couple, loose. With our
current terrorism issues going on, he would fit right in. He’s also not afraid to bully women – he’s a
great advertisement for self defense classes.
There’s a point in the story where references are made to a couple
from the previous book. So even though
the book may be considered a standalone, to keep true to the series you may
decide to read them in order. But since
this is only book two, you could read Rayne’s story right after you finish this
one.
I thoroughly enjoyed Emily’s tale but once I got started I just
couldn’t stop. Had to know that Emily
and Annie were going to be all right by the time I got to the end. It really broke my heart with how Emily had
to survive. I think we have to be more
aware and without talking to someone don’t just assume based on what you
see. She’s willing to give up a lot for
her child but sometimes it’s not enough and we have to be willing to extend a
hand.
I’m going to leave you with a beforehand warning. If you are one that doesn’t keep a tissue
close at hand, you will need it before the ending. Once I was able to get through that, the
author had me wanting to know if Annie is going to have her own story – she stole
every scene she was in. My sad news for
you is that the author’s next Rescuing book will not be coming out until
November. But our author has created a
Kindle World for her Special Forces. She has several other authors that have added
to this world so you may want to see what books are included in this series.
