About this listen

As an event planner, Gillian Romano’s an expert at rolling with the punches and solving unexpected problems. But her flight getting hijacked while returning from a job is definitely out of her skill set. Passengers are being murdered, and when she’s chosen by the terrorists to be their mouthpiece, even more innocent lives rest on Gillian’s shoulders. Only the calm, reassuring voice on the other end of the line keeps her sane, forging a bond with a stranger she’s never seen but trusts with her life.

Walker "Trigger" Nelson and his Delta Force team have spent years training for close-quarter hostage rescue. When they get called to South America to attempt to save an airplane full of hostages, he doesn’t expect to meet a woman who rocks his world in the middle of the op. Gillian’s cool head and bravery in the face of certain terror - and possible death - blows him away. Any outcome that doesn’t include Gillian leaving that plane alive and well is not an option.

After their safe return to Texas, both Trigger and Gillian are excited to find out if their instant chemistry can survive the real world. Neither realizing that someone isn’t happy with the outcome of the hijacking, and is watching, waiting, for a second chance to strike.

Shielding Gillian is the first book in the Delta Team Two series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Holy Hotness!

Trigger is an alpha man who knows what he wants and when he takes it, he TAKES it, hard.
Gillian is brilliant! She's tough, compassionate, and so great under pressure. I'm in awe of the things she came up with to help share information and get help.
Susan Stoker has once more given us a story to think about, revist, and enjoy for years.

Next book, please?

Shielding Gillian, the first book of Susan Stoker’s second Delta Team series, brings us Gillian Romano, an event planner who was forced to become the mouthpiece of a drug cartel when the plane she was on was hijacked.

She is paired with Walker “Trigger” Nelson, member of an elite Delta Force team sent to neutralise the situation and rescue the passengers.

With this first instalment on a new series, I am excited to meet the rest of Trigger’s team! Susan Stoker has never failed to amaze me with her talent in coming up with gripping stories of the men and women in uniform. I know that this batch of new heroes will definitely live up to their creator’s imagination!

Plus points is getting to know a new narrator in Virginia Rose, who I am happy to say gave the story so much life. Bravo! I am definitely waiting for bated breath for Kinley and Lefty to share their story!

An interesting story. I had met the Delta team in previous stories so was really looking forward to hearing about their HEA. I'm not sure that I entirely care for the narrating. Her rendering made the story seem almost cheesy at times. That may not be entirely accurate but the best way I can describe it right now.

Slow Burn Hotness

You just can't go wrong with Stoker. You are hooked from page one- action and romance. Her heroines are never doormats or helpless- they are smart, capable women and you can see yourself in them. Gillian seems like your neighbor, well a very brave cool-under-pressure and super kind neighbor. Trigger is a feminist alpha male (my term for Stoker's men). Their connection is a slow burn which is a nice change of pace for a lot of romances.

You will enjoy this listen and root for this couple, but best of all this is the start to a new series (yeah!)!!

No surprise here

This story started with you getting to know the characters , which I love about Susan Stoker books. I’ve read all of her books since Wolf and Caroline and I am never disappointed except that they ended and I have to wait again lol. I like how at the end she sets up the next book in the series with a lil teaser.

Now back to Trigger and Gillian, the story started out good but by the time it was the bar scene I was hooked and in love and laughing out loud . When you can identify with the character and think to yourself that’s me you know the writer is going to keep you on an emotional roller coaster and this book does just that .

I can’t wait for Kinley’s book but before that Averys book from her Seal of Protection Series is just a few days away . Thank you Susan for another great book and keep them coming .

A Wild Ride

As soon as I read the Summary for this book I knew This was what I never knew I needed and I was right .This is my first book by this author and I loved it . From the very beginning this book engulfed me . I felt that I could feel the fear and anxiety of those passengers . My face completely melted at Gillian's drunken scene . The ending through me for a loop . ( I was not expecting that ) The narrator really portrayed the emotional scenes well . I look forward to more of this series and others .

Hot Delta Force dude!!

Imagine being on a plane, returning from paradise to home, and it being hijacked! This is where Gillian finds herself. Luckily for her, and most of the passengers, Trigger and his Delta Force team has come to the rescue. Now Gillian and Trigger have to navigate a new relationship while keeping her safe from a drug cartel...the main ‘bad guy’ is quite a surprise. Some intense moments at the beginning...and a few close to the end. Enjoyed the love story between this duo. Looking forward to the next book. As always, the narrator does a perfect job with all of the characters.
I accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Another Winner

Great start to a new series!

Loved the slower pace Gillian and Walker took with their relationship. I love stories where the couples actually take some time to get to know each other before getting physical and it definitely makes the L word and talks of forever a lot more believable.

Pacing was great and while I did figure out the bad “guy”, I still enjoyed the story and I can’t wait for the rest of the series.

I highly recommend this for any Susan Stoker fan.
