Caleb

by Bella Stone

She’s being stalked by her ex.

Rose North carries many secrets, and none of them are good. When the crazy ex she’s been running from ups the ante, she’s determined to disappear to keep everyone she knows safe. But how can she walk away from the only man willing to put everything on the line to keep her safe?

He’ll break his own rules to protect her.

Former Navy SEAL and Black Ops Operative for Nemesis Inc. Caleb Hunt has never given his heart to any woman, but there is something about Rose North that calls to him on every level possible. For her, he’ll break every rule he has when it comes to women, and maybe if he’s lucky enough, she might just love him back.

She loves him enough to leave him. He loves her enough to follow her.

From sunny Riverton, California, to the snow-filled blizzards of Crazy Mountains, to the stunning Villa del Vesuvio on the windswept coast of Italy’s Castellammare di Stabia, Caleb and Rose are going to need the combined efforts of Nemesis Inc. and the SEALs if they want their shot at their happy ever after.

Escape into a steamy action-packed romance series with swoon-worthy characters, Alpha Hero/Strong Heroine relationships, Susan Stoker’s Seals, found family, and more.

As the great Randy Jackson once said “That’s going to be a no from me dawg.”

Caleb and Rose almost lose it all

I love when the authors of Susan Stoker’s world come together to cross storylines and share their worlds with each other and the beloved operators of Susan’s world!

Bella brings her A-game when her Nemesis Inc teams cross paths with the Riverton families and the 4-Xs. Caleb never thought he would find the happiness his teammates have found. Then he meets Rose at Draven and Indy’s wedding. She is on the run, in hiding from her ex. He immediately falls and when her Ex finds her she trusts (reluctantly) in Caleb and the Nemesis team to keep her safe.

Not going to give to give spoilers. But watching Caleb navigate a whole new world of love is just the cutest dang thing I have read in a good while! The twists and turns of this story will have you bawling one minute while you heart is ripped out of your chest then going googly eyed with an “awwww” when Dalton does something sweet to keep then together. Y’all, this one was just an awesome story. I can’t even. Now we wait for the rest of Bravo team to fall. And what a long strange trip it will be!

15/10 recommend. Read. This. Book.

With a chance encounter at a wedding of mutual friends, Rose and Caleb hit it off, but her standoffish way has him wondering what she is hiding. With danger surrounding her and a man who will not let her go stalking her, Rose knows she cannot put anyone else's life in danger. But when Caleb realizes the danger will never leave her alone, he takes it on himself and the men along with the men on his team to keep her safe. But what happens when she has to walk away from the safety of Nemesis to start over again. Bella Stone once again gives her readers exactly what they expect: heart stopping drama, beautifully written characters and the sense of brotherhood that can never be undermined. Another fabulous read in the series.

A self described Casanova and a woman in hiding while on the run make for an interesting pairing in Bella Stone's latest, Caleb. A chance meeting at a friend's wedding has Caleb Hunt six kinds of intrigued by a very skittish Rose North. I loved the way he was able to calm her and make he feel safe if only for a few minutes. Rose is self sacrificing and refuses to put anyone in danger because of her messed up life. Giving her a glimpse of what could be was both heartwarming and heartbreaking but in the end she chooses to do the right thing, at least in her mind. It takes a swift kick from an old friend to make Caleb realize what hexs missing in his life. Great story!

Oh WOW, Bella you did it again! Caleb and Rose are perfect together.

Loved this book and wish I could give it more than 5 stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Was so wonderful to read how the Nemesis Inc group just took Rose right in and helped her. Then getting the treat of Susan Stoker's characters just made the story great!! Had to read the book in one setting and just loved it. Thank you so much Bella!!!💜📚🔥🎉😺🌟

I love the characters in this book, and it is nice to have a little "re-visit" from the Susan Stoker characters. The characters have depth, loyalty, and skills along with a bit of humor. It is an entertaining story with a lot of suspense and a bit of angst and a very happy ending. It's a very enjoyable book.

[Wendy Hodges · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved how empathetic Caleb is to Rose and her situation, right from the first conversation. He picks up on even the smallest of her nuances, sensitive to any change. The combination of Bella's characters and Susan Stoker's is well blended and combined to give fans of both authors a story worthy of reading. There is suspense and action expected from both, sparks and teasing, heat and love. Supporting team and family add dimension. Fabulous and powerful

Book not complete!

I just got to the good part when it just cuts off in the middle of a chapter. I don't know what these other reviews are reading but its not this... Fix your book. I wanna finish reading the story!
