Trusting Skylar

Silverstone, Book 1

By: Susan Stoker

Narrated by: Lucy Rivers

Length: 10 hrs and 15 mins

Publisher's Summary

From best-selling author Susan Stoker comes a sizzling new series about four former military operatives who rid the world of the worst of humanity while fighting to protect the best part of their lives: the women they love.

Former military operative Carson “Bull” Rhodes hasn’t dated seriously since he and his teammates left the army. Since then he’s opened Silverstone Towing - which is a front for his other job: hired killer. When kindergarten teacher Skylar Reid calls for help while stranded on the side of the interstate, the attraction is instant. The problem is Bull’s career has jaded him. Skylar’s innocent, and he wants to keep her that way.

Cautious by nature, Skylar never expected to fall in love with her tow truck driver. Even so, once Bull reveals what he really does for a living, she’s not sure she can handle it. When Skylar faces threats that have nothing to do with Bull’s job but are just as deadly, the stakes are higher than ever.

With the help of the Silverstone team, Bull will use everything he’s learned over the years to bring the woman he loves home - because the alternative is unthinkable.

Narration was Aweful!!!

I am a HUGE fan of Susan Stoker's work and have read and/or listened to everything out there. I was so excited for this one to be released. While the story is great, I really wish I had bought the book to read myself instead of the audible version. (which I will be buying) At times I felt like I was listening to a computer generated voice reading an instruction manual. PLEASE bring back Stella Bloom or Savannah Peachwood to narrate the other books in this series!!!

could have been better

the narration was Alwful i was use to stella bloom but the women who did this should find a different profession

daily dose of shame

I don't need the lecture about white privilege in a romance novel. Save your political bias for the dinner table.
I get enough in the news.
The narration was disjointed. but the voice was pleasant.
The story was very very slow and lacked real substance for 8 of the 10 hours.
I get it, she is an innocent kindergarten teacher, 5000x's...

You will LOVE the men of Silverstone Towing

5yrs ago an elite Delta team was disbanded because they killed an HWT without authorization. Instead of being split up, the team accepted an FBI offer to perform black ops...and so, Silverstone Towing was born. A legitimate business as a cover for highly skilled mercenaries. This is book one and is the story of team leader, Bullseye aka Bull, meeting his forever girl on the side of the road. It is a quick story with romance and bad guys...perfect combo. Looking forward to the next book!

Terrible Narrator!!

I had to return it. Could barely make it 2 hours into the book! I love Susan Stoker, and have never NEVER returned her books, but this narration was so terrible I just couldn't handle any more! She made the men sound like Bullwinkle from Rocky & Bullwinkle... Just terrible, I'm sorry! Ugh!

Good....mostly

The story line was decent, a little predictable but good. The book would have gotten a solid 4 maybe five stars, but the narrator was not so good. Almost robotic at times. After awhile I was able to overlook it, but would have been better with a different narrator.

Entertaining

The storyline was interesting and entertaining. although would have liked a little more action throughout the book.

Excellent!!

I’m delighted with this new series. Looking forward to everyone’s story. I like that it follows Rex/Raven’s story

entertaining

not a huge fan of the narrator as she tended to end every sentence on an "up slope" and didn't use a lot of different tones for male and female voices, but great story!!

great story

love the characters and storyline. Also shows all walks of life and how they have one rule among them. like that in the story

🎧 Carson (Bull) and Slylar 🎧

First in series about ex-military alphas running a towing business as the legitimate cover for their anti-terrorist activities. Skylar is a naive schoolteacher with backbone who finds herself in a bad situation.
Lucy Rivers is wonderful.

Pretty Average

A friend recommended reading or listening to this, my opinion is listening to it was pretty disappointing - flat tones mostly and reading it was just as flat the hype factor deflated very quickly.

Good

I was happy with the narrator Lucy Rivers.

This is a enjoyable story. An ex Delta and a kindergarten teacher. I loved the neighbours.
