Have you been inside Susan Stoker’s world?

Susan Stoker is a well-known author from Texas, who has written several successful military-themed novels featuring the US Delta and Special Forces, Navy SEALs, Texas Rangers, and the like.

She has successfully written a couple of novel series that which has helped her to establish herself as a reputed author.

Susan Stoker’s first-ever series, written in 2014, was called “SEAL of Protection,” and was self-published. It featured the lives of six Navy SEALs led by Mathew Steel and his lady, Caroline.

Giving in to popular demand, especially after authors and readers alike started clamoring for crossover stories, Susan Stoker created what is now known as the Special Forces Alpha World, where authors get to write stories based on her beloved characters.

To date, the Special Forces Alpha World—which features some of the indie author world’s best military and suspense writers—boast of a total of ___ authors, collaborating with Susan every month.

One notable thing about Susan Stoker’s books, besides her use of characters based on the different branches of the Armed Forces of the United States, is her unapologetic take on real-world issues.

Bullying, rape, human trafficking, physical and mental abuse, homelessness, addiction, obesity, cancer, war, and of course, post-traumatic stress disorder, even suicide—Susan Stoker does not shy away from these topics.

Her characters, while some might find them over-the-top, are no less human enough for us readers to relate to.

My first foray into Susan Stoker’s world of badass alpha men and the women worthy enough to stand up to them, came when I stumbled into Rescuing Rayne, the first of her Delta Force Heroes.  

Rescuing Rayne

A flight attendant used to cancellations, Rayne Jackson never dreamed her latest stop would lead to a whirlwind tour of London with a handsome stranger…or a life-altering night in his bed.

Heading home after a mission, Delta Force soldier Keane “Ghost” Bryson never planned to seduce Rayne during his layover, but she was too sweet to resist, even if it was only one night.

Both Ghost and Rayne were shocked when, months later, they meet again–under the worst possible circumstances. Rayne is taken hostage, and it is up to Ghost to rescue the woman he realized was made perfectly for him.

Rayne and Ghost’s story was the book that led me down the rabbit hole. From the first page to the last, everything that happened to Rayne and Ghost gripped my attention, and I felt like I was on a roller coaster of emotions—happy (and envious) when Rayne got to spend the night with Ghost, sad when they had to go their separate ways, scared when Rayne was taken hostage, and glad when Ghost came through at the end.

The story itself was fast-paced, so much so that even for a lengthy story, I could not put it down.

Today, dozens of Susan Stoker’s novels—both in e-book and audiobook format, the only thing I can say is, I cannot wait to get my hands on hard copies of all my favorite Special Forces heroes.

Last but not the least, I would like to thank this author for giving me an appreciation of the sacrifices the men and women in uniform do just to make sure that the rest of us sleep soundly at night. My heart is filled with gratitude for their service!
