He stayed away to protect her… now he’s done letting her face the world alone.
After months of pining for a man who didn’t want her back, Jennifer Williams, vulnerable and lonely, fell victim to a predator. Now, having barely survived his vicious attack, the search-and-rescue expert has mostly healed…physically. Mentally and emotionally, she still suffers, hiding from a brutal world that’s mistreated her since childhood because of her alopecia. So if she’s not working, she’s in her apartment, her only company her beloved search dog. Avoiding all calls from her friends…and especially from Roman, the handsome pilot she’s always wanted but can never have.
Army Night Stalker Roman “Edge” Aldrich has wanted Jennifer from the moment they met. And he stuffed those feelings down deep, because with an obsessed ex-wife making his life hell, Jen was safer far, far away from him…or so he’d thought. Instead, his inaction left her vulnerable to a killer. Now the brave, beautiful woman is suffering, and Edge is done letting his ex dictate his actions. He’s going after what he wants—Jen. He’ll prove that her condition doesn’t stop her from being the most stunning woman he’s ever known, inside and out.
But if either of them think his ex is going away without a fight, they’re wrong. If she can’t have Edge for her own? Then she’ll do anything to take him down—literally and permanently.
**Keeping Jennifer is the 6th and final book in the Rescue Angels Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Susan Stoker has a heart as big as the state of Tennessee where she lives, but this all American girl has also spent the last fourteen years living in Missouri, California, Colorado, Indiana, and Tennessee. She's married to a retired Army man who now gets to follow her around the country.
Oh my goodness, Edge! Bless that big protective alpha heart of yours — sometimes keeping a woman safe means actually being *with* her, not just pushing her away! And Jennifer? Girl, let me just say, this amazing woman deserves all the happiness in the world! Life’s thrown some seriously tough punches her way — way more than anyone should have to deal with. She’s strong but real, facing battles most people don’t even see. Between the cruelty she’s faced because of her alopecia and the trauma she and Kara survived, she’s spent way too long feeling anything less than incredible. Somebody *please* remind her how truly extraordinary she is! Roman “Edge” Aldrich — who finally woke up and said, “Enough of this fear business!” This guy is on a one-man mission to show Jen just how beautiful, worthy, and loved she really is. ABOUT TIME, EDGE! And can we just talk about Trinity? Oh boy, TRINITY! The ex-wife straight out of a nightmare who totally missed the memo that EX means “exit”! This lady doesn’t just have issues — she’s got a full subscription service, complete with all the drama and then some! Somebody get her a one-way ticket ASAP, preferably somewhere *far* away — and NO return! And last but absolutely not least, Fred — Jennifer’s loyal search-and-rescue dog! While the humans are busy making questionable choices and totally overcomplicating their love lives, Fred’s just there being a total sweetheart and reminding us all that unconditional love? Yeah, dogs basically invented it. Somebody give this good boy ALL the treats! What makes this story so awesome is that it’s not just another alpha male swooping in to save his lady. Nope — it’s about healing, learning to trust again, finding strength when you feel shattered, and realizing that being different doesn’t mean you’re any less worthy of love. Susan Stoker delivers everything I adore in a book — fierce military heroes, strong and inspiring heroines, pulse-pounding danger and suspense, emotional growth, and moments that’ll have you wanting to hug someone one second and shake some sense into them the next! Keeping Jennifer, was the sixth and final book in the Rescue Angels series, it brings all the heart, all the heat, all the suspense, and every single bit of those feels! Because sometimes the strongest women aren’t the ones who never fall down — they’re the ones who find the courage to stand back up and finally let someone stand *right beside* them. ❤️
Time is precious and you have to claim every moment you can
The team are always going to be overprotective....
...but Jenn being kidnapped and left for dead makes Roman realise how much time with her he has wasted. Jenn doesn't believe Roman could possibly like her, she doesn't believe she's worthy of attraction, affection, friendship or love. Roman is determined to prove her wrong and finally realises that she is safer with him than she is on her own. Jenn has a tough history and it makes you heartsick to hear about the abuse and trauma she has suffered, especially that at the hands of her parents, but I love seeing Jenn and Roman together. We also get a cross over with Eagle's Nest and a peek 25 years into the future.... fantastic! I listened to this on Audible but will also read the book when it is released next week.
I loved that this had some twists on a well known formula! I loved that these two finally got over all their insecurities and fast-forwarded into their relationship. I loved that they didn’t need the other to be themselves, but being together gave them that confidence. I always love the peek into the future in a series finale, and what has been happening with all our couples <3
Keeping Jennifer is Jen and Edge/Roman’s HEA tale. It’s also the last standalone story in the Rescue Angels series. Keeping Jennifer is a heartfelt, steamy and full of found family, friends and acceptance story all wrapped up in a romantic suspense tale. I loved every second.
