Rescue Angels #4
Keeping Penny: Rescue Angels, Book 4
They taught him what family means…now he’ll risk everything to protect it.
Raised in the foster system, Kylo “Pyro” Mullins knows what it’s like to have nothing to call his own. Parents, siblings, friends, possessions…growing up, he had none of these. Now an elite Night Stalker pilot, Pyro considers his teammates family—but he doesn’t truly understand mine until he meets Penny and Bowie Burns. The widow and her blind daughter show Pyro a kind of bravery he’s never seen on any mission, and for the first time in his life, he wants the family he’s never had.
One day they’re living in Africa, destitute and in danger thanks to her deceased husband. The next, Penny and her six-year-old daughter find themselves being airlifted away from devastating riots by one of the Army’s finest. Despite having no family in the States, Penny’s happy to be returning…and even happier for Pyro’s attention. The handsome pilot is kind, generous, beyond amazing with her daughter, and seemingly determined to spend even more time with Penny and Bowie when they reach Norfolk.
But if there’s one thing two adults raised in the system know well…happiness and stability can be ripped away at a moment’s notice. And the sins of her dead husband are about to come back to haunt Penny, Pyro…and especially little Bowie.
**Keeping Penny is the 4th book in the Rescue Angels Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Have the tissues ready because the last third of this book will strain all your emotions! The build-up to that moment, it was beautiful and hopeful. The instant connections between our characters, cautious and careful. The happiness and joy in their moments, contagious and infectious. These three, because we have a single mom and her wonderful daughter, as well as our pilot, were amazing to watch as they grew, together and individually, and were brave in their own ways. They expressed their emotions, they learned to rely on others, and they made the most loving family by the end <3

Woah! Emotion overload!
I don't know where to start with this book, every page is awesome, Pyro completely stole my heart and I fell deeper with every page I read, every interaction with him and Penny, but it's his bond with Bowie that really blew me away....so cute, powerful, sweet, awesome....not enough words!
Penny is strong and has faced more than many ever do, but Bowie is by far her greatest achievement and the love, encouragement and strength she shows her girl has made her the most amazing child ever. Bowie is by far the hero of the book in so many ways and she brought me to tears more than once, sometimes with sweet, innocent comments, sometimes with laughter and sometimes with fear and pain, but you cannot help but love her.
If these moments didn't pack enough emotion then we also have the terrifying blood bath of a fight scene, a fantastic romantic proposal and a heart pounding introduction to the next book too.
A great read and part of a fantastic series.

Great Story! While I enjoyed the two MC I have to say that Bowie stole the show! I absolutely loved every scene she was in and looked forward to the next. That being said she does interact very well with Kyro and his “brothers” so they really add to her charm. I did love the relationship between Penny/Kyro which also includes Bowie. Narration is well done!

Keeping Penny is the 4th book in the Rescue Angels Series. Each book is a stand-alone but I recommend starting with book 1 to meet all the Night Stalker helicopter pilots.
In this book, it’s Pyro who meets his future love, Penny, and her blind, 6 year old daughter, Bowie. They are rescued by the Night Stalkers and Pyro falls hard for both Penny and little Bowie.
Bowie will steal your whole heart. Full stop. Pyro is amazing of course, a true hero to both Penny and Bowie especially when danger strikes. This may be my new favorite Susan Stoker Rescue Angels book. It’s truly a heart melting five-star suspense tale.

Keeping Penny is a fast-paced, steamy, standalone, romantic suspense novel.
Penny and Kylo “Pyro” are perfect (supportive and positive) for each other, and Penny’s 6yr old daughter, Bowie… OMG! Cuteness and positivity overload. Add in the amazingly supportive friend group, and the justice served out to absolute villains… yes, this is a new personal favorite. I could not love this book more!

Susan did it again!
The 4th book in her Rescue Angels series, Susan Stoked once again makes us fall in love with her characters. Penny and Pyro draw you in with their innate goodness and strength. And 6 year old Bowie proves that amazing can come in small packages. And that if you keep moving forward, even we are scared, that you can do incredibly hard things!

Bowie stole my heart! I loved this book. It grabbed my heart right from the start. I recently read her series based in Australia and the evolution of the writer’s work is fascinating to me.
