Publisher's summary
She needed to win him at the bachelor auction to save her friend, but she didn't plan on falling in love.
Cora Rooney desperately needs to win the representative from The Refuge at the veterans’ charity auction—it’s literally a matter of life or death. Of course, as is so often the case for the ex-orphan, nothing goes according to plan, and Cora loses her bid. Yet, she still finds herself in a diner with Bryson Clark, telling him about her best friend, who she suspects has been kidnapped and held against her will. After exhausting all other options, Cora’s convinced Pipe and his former military friends are her last chance to rescue Lara.
Bryson “Pipe” Clark had no desire to participate in a bachelor auction. Hell, most women run in the other direction when they see him coming. Why in the world would anyone spend good money for a night in his company? Still, he lets himself be talked into supporting a good cause, and as it turns out, the auction is the start of a mystery he’s now determined to unravel. Mostly because of the woman he’s strangely attracted to from her very first bid.
Finding Lara Osler is the easy part. Determining if she fled DC with her boyfriend of her own free will—and breaking her out of his estate if she didn’t—isn’t quite so cut and dried. Along the way, Pipe finds there’s much more to Cora than meets the eye...kind of like him.
Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan, but Pipe’s not going to let anyone or anything get in his way of making Cora his own and rescuing her friend—not even a serial killer hiding in the wings.
Deserving Cora is the fourth book in The Refuge series. Each book is a stand-alone with no cliff-hanger endings.

I’m not looking for a hero, and definitely not a fake relationship with my new boss, nightclub owner Dante Fury—over six feet of dark, hot, and dangerous. But he isn’t taking no for an answer. The plan was to run, live under the radar, survive. My life’s been destroyed by some very bad people and everything I know is gone—career, friends, family. I thought I could hide as a bartender at New Orleans’ hottest new club, Ember.

There wasn’t a lot that surprised me. My years in the Navy taught me a lot, my years hunting human traffickers taught me the rest. Meeting a beautiful woman in a bar and spending the night with her should’ve been a blip on my radar. Instead, I spent years trying to forget her. In the middle of a rescue operation, fate dropped her back into my life, but there was a twist—she wasn’t alone.

This may be my toughest mission yet. None of my SEAL training or my time in the CIA has prepared me for this: a prickly, five-foot-nothing hellcat Jasmin Smith. She was mine. She can fight it all she wanted, but in the end, I would have her every way a man can have his woman. She was a sassy little thing, making me work to bend her to my demands. But I will! I will bend her and tie her to me so tight she would never be able to get free. Only problem is I had to break her first. I had secrets that she needed to know.

Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores.

When introverted cartoonist Remi Stephenson dumps her cheating ex and goes on their Hawaiian vacation solo, even her creative mind can’t imagine being purposely stranded in the ocean…with a handsome, muscular, brave Navy SEAL. Even more unbelievable is the spark between them. Surely this is just rebound hormones. Right? Because who finds their soulmate in the middle of a life-or-death situation? And what would a SEAL want with a curvy, nerdy artist, anyway? Of course, none of those doubts stop Remi and Vincent from making plans to get together back in California, even before they’re rescued.

Owen Cullen was a dream. Not a dream come true though, because I’d never dared to dream. He was my wildest fantasy, a hallucination, a delusion. The handsome man who’d saved my life—twice. He was a real-life hero, and I was...what was I? Filth, that was what I was.

Great story
Another great story by Susan Stoker in The Refuge series. Pipe and Cora were great together. I also liked what a loyal friend Cora was and that she did everything in her power to help rescue her best friend, Lara. Great seeing everyone again. Ryan West and CJ Bloom did a wonderful job with their performances in bringing the story and characters to life.

great listening to this book
Absolutely loved this book, it had me hooked the first page in. I am getting into the audio books and reading along with the Kindle e book version. Loved Pipe and Cora both broken in away, but finding each other and having an HEA. Can't wait for Lara and Owls story, plus to find out who the mystery hacker is. This or any of Susans books are a great read.

Great story!
Wish we could all go to the Refuge and find our own family by choice and a place to be accepted the way Cora found her people there. I can’t wait to here Lara’s story! I hope this series continues for years! Hope Susan adds a community in the nearby town so we get to interact with the Refuge and these characters for years!

Repetitive
Once you get to the 4th book (in a series) and you realize you don't have to listen to surmise everything the couple is saying to each other, you realize you have read enough Susan Stoker for a while. Her people essentially keep saying the same things. They are motivated by the same things, feel the same things, are hurt by the same things. I don't need to read the next one to know what's going to happen.
Of the books in the series, this one was better than most because there was more action in it. I liked how tough Cora was, never pitied herself or went on about what she's insecure or afraid of. Unlike others in the series.
The female MC even got her digs in against the bad guy, which was VERY refreshing for this series.
I do enjoy how Susan Stoker heroes are all tough and alpha in general, but that they ALWAYS put their women first. That part of the repetition, I can live with.

Another good addition to this series.
I really liked the characters personalities. It is insta attraction and so if that isn’t your thing you may not enjoy it. But I love the story woven here starting with a women trying everything she cans to help a friend she knows is in trouble even if no one will listen or believe her. I am actually looking forward to the next in the series from the ending to this one. Another well done story. The narrators were great with their portrayals.

Stoker does it again
I adored Cora and Pipe. As a tattooed person myself I got Pipe's healing through ink very much. I admired Cora's kind heart after everything she went through and her fierce loyalty; as well as trusting her gut and not giving up. It was fun to see the other characters too. I also wish the books were closer together because of the arc story but know that art takes time (note this is NOT a cliffhanger, I hate those). The narration was wonderful!
