Shielding Riley

Delta Team Two, Book 5

De: Susan Stoker

Narrado por: Virginia Rose

Porter “Oz” Reed knows as well as anyone the damage words can do. So while he’s not looking for a relationship, he has no problem standing outside his apartment looking intimidating as his sweet neighbor finally kicks her verbally abusive ex to the curb. Just in case. But it’s Oz who’s punched in the gut when, at that precise moment, his 10-year-old nephew Logan is dropped on his doorstep.

After finally ditching her ex, Riley Rogers is ready for a break from men. But her plan to stay single takes an immediate hit when Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome from next door comes knocking, panicked at the prospect of caring for a nephew he never even knew existed. Riley’s only too happy to help. After all, Porter had her back when she needed him. And she feels a kinship with Logan...whose story hits a little too close to Riley’s own.

As they team up to make Logan feel safe in his new environment, Riley and Oz quickly fall hard for the boy and each other. But they’ve barely adapted to their altered lives when Logan shares a secret that changes everything - again.

Shielding Riley is the fourth book in the Delta Team Two series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliff-hanger endings.

Emotional

This story was very emotional for me because it touched quite a few of my hot buttons. However it is one of , if not my favorite Susan Stoker stories to date. I enjoyed every chapter immensely. Lots of tears lots of laughter well written story. Loved it!

Fantastic

As usual I love this series the characters and narrators were excellent the family dynamics were spectacular it was great to see the relationships and love shown by this group and I love how protective and caring the men show for their women and kids and backup to each other thank you to the author she is such an excellent and entertaining person 💖💖💕💕💞💞

Great Story

This book was fast moving and entertaining. It follows the pattern of the other stories in the series.

🔹RILEY & OZ - Hott-R than a Brush FIRE! 💥

🔹WARNING STOKER FANS- this particular book is Over the top FUEGO... With a side of Ecstasy! AHHH!

🔹This book was pretty much perfect Stoker fans! 6 Starz amigas! I LOVED how Susan laid out Riley & Oz's love story...smooth and sexy!

🔹I was rooting for them right off the bat since both main characters are very LIKABLE!! (These are the kind of characters I fall in love with and want to see get married and have children!) Sweet Jesus!!!!

🔹I adored Logan (Oz's Nephew) What an adorable and humble child! My heart went out to him and his situation! I just wanted to hug em! AHHH! What a sweetie!

❓My only question was ....why didn't Riley simply call the cops when her Ex was trying to bust into the apartment? The phone was right there on the table. Besides, who has their "ring" tone cranked up THAT LOUD???( Most people use vibrate not ring tones.) Anybody would have called the police if someone was breaking in! Not sure if this would be a writing error by Susan...or if she intended to make Riley look a bit "off"? Since Riley was an intelligent/ street smart woman...this part of the book didn't make any sense to me amigas! I would have grabbed my phone - turned the stupid ringer off, dialed 911, snagged a weapon and locked myself and Logan in the bedroom! UHHH! Cristo Bandito!

🔹I dont want to ruin the added adventure - but lets just say its OVER THE TOP! Heart pounding, soul jerking, grasp ya pearls kinda shocking! No worries, Riley ( aka: Wonder Woman) and her guapo Delta Oz - SAVE THE DAY!! YESSSS!

🔹Overall this book is fun, thrilling, sexy and intriguing! BOOM-sha ka La ka!!

🔹Fantastic narration by Virginia - as usual! Thank you Susan! ~ Namaste!

Great addition to delta

Love the addition to delta series each one has there own problems while staying as delta group

Very enjoyable

I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by this series. Despite each book being about a team member, it is by no means a cookie cutter series. I’ve enjoyed the threads that connect each book but have loved the unpredictable story of each one

Wow

I have read almost all the stories and some how I skipped this one and went to read 5. Well I went back to read the 4th and it was fantastic. I got ALL the feels from smiles,laughter,swoon and tears. what a great book.

ITS GOOD BUT IT WAS HARD TO GET THROUGH!

*****spoilers******





I loved the relationship between Porter & Riley and it was definitely spicy however there is some heavy topics in this book. Please see spoilers for triggers that may cause you choose to not read. I only made it through because majority of Stokers books have HEA!! And thank God it did!



----- Spoilers - Triggers -----









- Child Abuse
- Child Neglect
- Mentions of Child porn, grooming and pedophilia

roller coaster ride

I hardly ever cry during a book but this one had me reeling. The love between the two characters and the children are incredible. My only thing was there was way too much drama on the kids. What the ex boyfriend turned out to be, my heart was gripped by literal fear.
I had to take a calming break part way through just to get my emotions back in check. The poor kids!!!!

Spoilers ***
between the boys mom dying, getting suspended, finding out there was a sister, finding the little girl trapped in a cage, the ex trying to break down the door, AND the ex kidnapping the kids: it was all waaaay too much. It would have been 5 stars if there was a little less abject fear/heart break and just a little more happiness. God those poor kids...
