Wanted

by Susana Mohel

He doesn’t remember, but I could never forget…

A small-town girl like me was way too practical to expect a fairy tale, but that’s exactly what happened when Lionel Kral walked through my honey stand.
He swept me off my feet with just a smile. I had no idea who he was, but I knew we were from two very different worlds.
I tried to resist him, I really did, but the damn man was persistent. He promised to love me forever… I believed every single word.
Then one day he just vanished and in my search for the man who stole my heart, I discovered that my happily ever after was an evil fabrication.
The perfect future I envisioned for us collapsed in front of me like a house of cards.
The man I barely knew was more a stranger than I ever imagined.
Lionel asked for answers I didn’t have, and he couldn’t give me the only thing I craved from him. Trust.
A gravity-like force drew us together, but deception tore us apart.
I refused to fall for another lie.
Could he offer me the love I’d always wanted?

I know what some of you are thinking, this is outside my normal. On the positive, I do like contemporary romance. And I love to be outside the norm. Wanted is no different, and I absolutely adore it.

We start with Stella being one hot mess and married to Lionel after a whirlwind romance, only to have changed his spots, and now she is undecided what to do and just goes along with him to keep the peace. Until a horrible accident lands Lionel in the hospital and he is not who he claimed to be. Stella with so many questions and feels betrayed.

From the start, I didn't like Lionel and I came up with so many scenarios. However, all is not what it seems and there are some major twists. In the end, I fell head over heels for him.

Poor Stella, she is far from a doormat, but she doesn’t know what is real, what is a lie, and how to process everything.

I love Susana’s writing and her quirky heroines. I was wondering how she was going to spin the story and without fail she did a fantastic job. Wanted is a Must-Read.

This took me on a rollercoaster of a ride while reading. I was on edge and couldn't put it down. The chemistry and connection between Lionel and Stella is intense but the twists and turns had me wondering where the author was going and if they could survive. It did and now I am in more in love with the characters than when I first started the story.

Susana Mohel has stepped into Corinne Michaels Salvation Society World flawlessly. She has penned a fabulous book full of feels; you will be absolutely hooked from the opening pages. Lionel and Stella have an undeniable connection with great chemistry. Wanted is not only a love story but has some surprising elements that will have you saying “oh snap.” It is one not to be missed by the author. She has honed her craft so much in the time that I’ve started reading her and I look forward to more from this author.

[Mandy Reads Indie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was all over the place with my thinking with this book. A book that absolutely had me second guessing myself or trying to remember if I may have missed any hints. The twists and turns will leave you breathless. Sure, I may have guessed the ending at some point, but truly it was 5 guesses back. My mind kept thinking of more and more crazier scenarios. Mohel really got me me with this amazing, suspenseful story.

And let’s forget about the suspense for a moment, and focus on that romance. I just came from one sweet romance by Mohel, only to step into another of hers. But this one wasn’t sweet. It was angsty and the slow burn was a delicious torture. I was consumed by this romance. Give me a dozen more books with both Lionel and Stella.

I believe this was my first read from the Salvation Society world of Corinne Michaels. And I don’t see it being the last. A brilliant, fiery suspense that really swept me off my feet…I give WANTED all the stars.

OMG I can't believe I just finished the book 😍😍 with a baby at home I find it a bit difficult to read because she keeps my hands busy most of the time.  LOL.

But Susana you did it again!!!
This book was so intense that I was literally biting my nails to know what was going to happen next 😬😬.

I'm walking on unknown ground, and this is where I'll find what I was looking for. -Stella, Wanted by Susana Mohel.

This book is about a married couple, who after an unexpected event changes the life of our beautiful heroine, prompting her to change her residence and everything she was so used to.

   You will find Stella and Lionel's relationship full of lies, despair and you will see that second chances can always end with a happily ever after.

"I don't want to clip your feathers," he says. I look him in the eye and I only see honesty shining in them. "I want you to fly." -Stella, Wanted by Susana Mohel.

btw I'm so glad there's a POV of Lionel!!! I was almost praying to know what he was thinking 🙃 love ya for that 🥰

I really recommend Wanted 💖 I am very satisfied with the end of this beautiful love story.

[Bibliophile Chloe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! This story is going to grab you from the get-go!  The mystery and intrigue will keep you riveted until the very end.

This is the story of Stella and her husband. She meets him and he seems to change. She works hard to try to make this marriage work. 

She may look weak but she has a strong inner strength that carries her through the web of lies and deceit. 

Stella's husband is a man of many faces, but which one is his true one. 

This story kept me guessing until the very end and holy heck what an ending it was!

Spun in the world of Corinne Micheals' Salvation Society, it flows seamlessly with the rest of the world that has been created.

If you are looking for a fast-paced romantic suspense, get your hands on this newest story by the talented Ms. Susana Mohel.

Another 5 star read by Susana

I read this book in one sitting, I loved it that much🥰 I love that this story grabs you from the start.

Stella world is turned upside down when her husband is injured, she rushes to his side to be faced with a mother in law from hell.

I love that Stella becomes this strong women when events change in her life and she has to move to LA to be with her husband who has been hurt, but her husband has changed he is not the domineering man she married, he cares about what she thinks and what she want.

Then bam the mother in law strikes and things change what she though she knew about Lionel makes her run away from him.

Can Lionel win Stella back? Can things return to normal now she knows everything.

Download wanted and you will not be disappointed

A roller coaster of emotions

Wanted by Susana Mohel
Wowza this book was a total roller coaster of emotions. I mean wow. It will captivate you from the jump and keep you on the edge of your seat unable to put it down. I mean the way the author wrote the connection between Lionel and Stella was palpable. Oh and the chemistry was sizzling. This story has some really good twists and turns that you will enjoy. This was first for me from this author and I was very pleased with it. I recommend this book to any one it is so good.

[Tammy · Rating 4 out of 5]

New to the Salvation Society series.
Lots of crazy twists and turns, I had an idea but it wasn't how the story turned.

[Victoria Wyatt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Susana did a great job incorporating the Jackson and Catherine, Mark and Charlie into this story. Stella thought her life with Lionel was one way to be hit with the surprise that he was not who she thought he was and how she found out was an emotional roller coaster for her. They had to get past the secrets to get know each other and find their happiness only to be hit with another bombshell. It was riveting and draws you in, I kind of thought who it might be but not to the extent of the backstory. A really good well written story.

I received this Advanced Reader Copy and my honest review is voluntary.

[Shedevilreads Bookstagram · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wanted by Susana Mohel is a romantic suspense that is set in the Salvation Society world.

I absolutely love Susana's books! They always leave me with a smile.

The relationship between Stella and Lionel can only be described as messy without giving in of the storyline a way. Their relationship took me on an emotional rollercoaster.

I would recommend this book if you like romantic suspense or contemporary romance.

I am always so amazed at how Susana can take you along for the best read of your life time and time again, new characters and returning characters in each and every book that she writes. She is truly climbing in the book world and I for one can't wait to get the next Susana Book in my hands.💗

Great Book!

I loved the book. It had a different twist to it that added to the intrigue and romance. Lionel and Stella had a wonderful love story and HEA.

[Latifa Morrisette · Rating 4 out of 5]

We are back in Corinne Michaels' Salvation Society with Wanted. Now I admit that I was lost for most in this book and was so confused until the last five or six chapters. This story definitely does a good job of convincing you of one thing and the pulling the rug from under you. I can't wait to see what's next from this amazing author.

[Ariadna Basulto · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love when an author I love takes their craft to the next level!

Susana Mohel’s writing has become better and better with each book and it shows! If you loved her last release, Fated, (run and do it if you haven’t) she’s going to SLAY you with her upcoming romance, WANTED.

[Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

You know how you get a book and you start it thinking it will be good and then you get to chapter 2 and realize that there is no way to put the book down? This is one of those books! Susana did a fantastic job keeping me 100% engaged in this story that the last thing I wanted to do was put it down. I finished this book in just a few hours because I needed to know what was going on. The plot twists were written perfectly, and I never would have guessed where any of them would go until it happened.

As the book begins, we are introduced to Stella. She seems to be a simple woman that is happily married to Lionel Kral. She lives a life that is comprised of being a beekeeper and using the honey she collects for products to sell. That is how she met Lionel and fell in love. The problem is, Lionel appears to have not told her everything when she finds out he has been attacked in Los Angles, when she is in Kentucky, and he was supposed to be in Texas. She flies out to his side immediately and that is where the twists start. He has no idea who she is, though she holds the wedding certificate and the ring to prove the wedding. As these two try to unravel that questions that they both have, they find that they have an amazing bond and connection. Can that connection keep them safe when everything seems to be falling apart around them?

Susana has done it again with another amazing book! I love her writing and how engaging it is. These two together are straight up fire. You can feel the kindle burning as you read about their connection. Lionel may be a billionaire but watching him as he supports Stella. His sweet nickname for her is all the heart eyes or maybe star eyes is better. Stella shows her true strength and absolutely amazing smarts through this book, but the best is towards the end when she really shines. This is a book you need to read and enjoy!

[Kari Hansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

When Stella met Lionel, it didn’t take long for her realize that he was the man she wanted to spend her life with so marrying him was her dream come true. When Lionel is injured it changes everything and she realizes that the man she married was not the man she thought he was, and their lives will never be the same.

Lionel is a man with secrets which need to be unraveled that causes some further strain on their relationship. They must decide if what they share is enough to overcome all the challenges they must face.

Intrigue that keeps you on edge, surprises you don’t see coming and two characters who find themselves fighting for answers and each other.

[Christina Adkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

this was a very good read at first I didn't get it and then when it all started to come together I did really enjoy the read very much I've never read a book from this author before but I will read other of there and this series if there is one too the charters were very good and in tune with each other I didn't care a whole lot for the mother but she was ok in the end but I still don't prefer her much I liked the lawyer and his wife they were very good people in the book.

[Victoria Gonzalez · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was such a good and quick read! I read this in two days I couldn’t put it down!
The chemistry between the characters is so well portrayed and is just beautiful you want to dive right in.

The lies, the twists, I kept finding myself wondering where this was gonna go, in the best way!

This romantic suspense will have you guessing! Will they survive?

[Jennifer Militti · Rating 5 out of 5]

I had the pleasure of proofreading this book. Such a great story. I don’t know what to say that won’t give away the story. The lies, suspense, and love story are enough to keep you wanting to read till the very end.

Lionel will forever be my favorite book boyfriend. Lol
