I love Susan Stoker and her super-protective men. I wasn't sure how I would feel about "assassins", but the men of Silverstone were anything but. A little heavy handed with the message, but great story and I'm ready for the next one.

I was so happy to start a new Susan Stoker Series because I've read everything she writes! This series is going to be just as good as her others. Trusting Skylar is the first book in the Silverstone Series. Skylar and Carson have tons of chemistry. Once you read the book you will understand the word, "Trusting," Skylar and Carson each make the world a better place but in different ways. I can't wait to see how this couple continues to grow and the other members of the team find their perfect matches.

Carson, 'Bull', to his friends leads a double life. He has a towtruck company with his 3 ex Delta Force friends. They also go undercover eliminating people who are bad:people traffickers, terrorist leaders etc.
Skylar is a Kindergarten teacher, gentle and kind.
When they meet, the attraction is instant.
But will Skylar accept Bull's other life?

Bull and his best friends own Silverstone Towing, a cover for what they really do. When he answers a call to help a stranded motorist, he’s immediately drawn to Skye. She’s beautiful but naive and doesn’t understand the dangers lurking in plain sight.

Kindergarten teacher Skye always tries to see the good in people, even the grouchy and rude Bull. She feels a pull to him and decides to let her guard down. He soon has her getting tangled up with his life and friends. But will the bubble burst once she finds out what he really does for a living?

This is a great start to a new series! Looking forward to reading the rest of the crew!

Thank you Netgalley and Montlake for the opportunity to read a copy.

I love the premise of this series and really enjoyed this first book. Bull and Skylar were great together. I didnt predict the suspense aspect which was new for me (and a good thing)! I also liked that the main characters are in their thirties. I’m excited to read book 2!

I loved the characters. And immediately felt for Bull and his team as they are reprimanded for protecting their country. There’s a dark side to this cute love story. I love how protective Bull is of Skylar and how all he wants to do is keep her safe and preserve her innocence. This is the first book in a series I am going to have to watch out for.

Thank you to Montlake for this advanced copy.

Trusting Skylar is the first in a new romantic suspense series from the fantastic Susan Stoker. In this installment we are introduced to the men of Silverstone and how they came to be. We meet Carson “Bull” Rhodes and the woman who tames and inflames him kindergarten teacher Skylar Reid. Skylar is the reason that Bull does what he does even before he met her. Now that he has he is smitten. I read this in one sitting and am so looking forward to seeing who the other guys find.

Buck’s Delta Force unit leaves the military and starts to work in another government capacity in secret. They also run a towing company which allows them to support their community. Buck is called when Skylar’s car breaks down. He has almost given up on finding a woman who will accept him but is instantly drawn to her. Skylar is a strong, self-supporting woman who can’t help but fall for his kindness and protective instincts. When her self-sacrificing puts her in danger, Buck and his team will leave no stones unturned to bring her safely home. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I am a huge fan of this author and this new series has really started off with a bang! It never gets tiring as Ms. Stoker always manages to give us brave and protective new heroes, kick butt heroines and amazing new stories. I love Bull (Carson) and the other guys and their whole dynamic. All are such likable people. Skylar and Bull are perfect together. It took meeting someone like her to make Bull stop and see what he was missing and wanted in his life, someone special to share the time he wasn't working with. And meeting Skylar, the attraction and need to know her was immediate. Great story, fantastic characters and the way it is all put together. The bonus is all his buddies, his family, love her too! I love this book!!

I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy through Netgalley of Trusting Skylar . This is the first book in new series Silverstone . This story is absolutely Outstanding . It's full of suspense and intrigue along with romance . It's definitely action packed . Carson (Bull) Rhodes meets Skylar Reid when he is towing her car after it breaks down . They both find themselves attracted . They soon start dating but Bull isn't sure if he can trust Skylar to stick with him . Bull has a big secret about what he and his buddies do behind the towing company . When Bull finally tells Skylar she sends him away . Skylar is taken before she can talk to him . Bull will do whatever it takes to find and rescue her . This is a fabulous start to the series , that I think will be as spectacular .
I look forward to reading the next . Mrs Stoker never disappoints . I highly recommend taking the time to read .

Great Beginning!! This is the first book in Ms. Stoker’s newest series Silverstone Towing and it was GREAT!! I loved getting to know Carson “Bull” Rhodes and Skylar. The relationship between these two had my heart betting double time. It was loving and sexy. Bull’s protectiveness was swoon worthy and Skylar’s sunny outlook on the world was refreshing in a world filled with chaos right now. Also, the suspense kept me on my toes and actually surprised me with the little twist toward the end. I like when a story keeps me on my toes and this was perfect.

This is book 1 in the Silverstone series but this team was mentioned briefly in the last book in the Mountain Mercenaries series. Carson “Bull” Rhodes is a former special forces military man who doesn't really date since he and his friend's left the military. He and his friend's opened Silverstone Towing and while it is a legitimate business, they use it as a front for what they do on the side. but it also helps to ground him when he is not off being a paid killer. Skylar Reid is a kindergarten teacher who calls for a tow after being stranded on the side of the road. The attraction between them is instant but Bull doesn't think that he should tarnish Skylar. She is too innocent, too sweet for a man like him. And once she finds out what he truly does, she doesn't know if she can handle it. But when she faces something that is beyond her comprehension, she finally starts to understand. And knows that people like him are necessary. And prays that Bull can find her and save her in time.

I absolutely loved this book! This is the perfect way to start a series! Bull has so many hangups about what he does but he does it knowing that it is truly needed in this world. And reading about how it makes him feel just made me love him even more than I already did. He and his "brothers" have hearts of gold and the drive to do the things that keep people safe. Regardless of how that affects them. Skylar definitely comes across as naive about the things that happen in real life. But she has this spine of steel. And when it comes down to protecting someone that needs it, she might be afraid but she still does what needs to be done. They compliment each other perfectly! I loved every part of this book and I cannot wait to see where this series takes us!!

A new series by Susan Stoker and I couldn’t be more excited! Four Delta Special Forces guys, who leave the military and open a towing company in Indiana are the focus of this new series, Silverstone Towing. As with all of Ms. Stoker’s male characters, these guys are hardcore alphas, and of course still dealing with bad guys. Carson (Bull) is the focus of this first story and it was very romantic and entertaining. Skylar is a kindergarten teacher who is surprisingly sweet and a little naive, and Bull falls for her hard. The courtship and romance were sweet to read, and the conflict was believable. I am very happy for a new series from the author, and although i still love her previous ones, this is a welcome new addition.

A new series from Susan Stoker and I am all for it. I love the book so much that I read it in one seating, it set its hooks on me and I couldn't put it down.

Some might say that Carson is over protective but that is exactly the kind of Hero that I love and Susan Stoker writes the best kind of OTT Alpha Heroes. I also like Skylar, she is one of the sweetest if not a tad too trusting and innocent heroines that Susan Stoker has written. The scene where these 2 met was one of my favourite scenes. Not only do I love the hot sizzling chemistry between Carson and Skylar, I am loving the interactions of the secondary characters too. Susan Stoker never fails to give her readers such wonderful world building. Sometimes it makes you feel that you want to live in her book and never want to leave.

Thank you to NetGalley for this advance copy, the thoughts above are all of my own.

I had a hard time getting into this story; insta love just isn't my preference. I don't mind it in some books, depending on how it's written, but in this case, everything is just too perfect. During their first scene together, Bull and Skylar are already excited for her to meet his friends. I wanted to tell them to slow down, you just met each other! I had, coincidentally, just finished my first Susan Stoker book ever, prior to starting this one. That one, I thought, was absolutely amazing, so maybe my expectations were a bit high.

While it wasn't a hit for me, anyone who loves a sweet romance with few, if any, barriers or tension between the main couple, will surely enjoy this story.

My thanks to NetGalley and Montlake for the opportunity to read and review Trusting Skylar by Susan Stoker.

A new series centered around a group of brother working to rid the world of evil and running a tow company. This is a slow burn romantic read. Bull is tired of nothing but work, he loved his work but something is missing. A chance meeting with Sklyar and Bull knows what's missing. But will Sklyar accept Bull's job, it's too much a part of who he is but for the primary school teacher this might be too far out of her comfort zone. A super sweet, slow burn read that make you root for Bull from the start. A bit of action, suspense throw in to keep the Susan Stoker theme alive. I totally enjoyed and want more stories from the Silverstone group!

A new series from Susan Stoker? Yes please!!! You get a whisper of the the possibility of a new series in the Mountain Mercenaries and am ecstatic to finally be reading the first book in the series. I loved when Bull just laid it all out for Skylar on their first date. His words he speaks to her are beautiful. I want/need a Bull in my life. I truly enjoy a book where a man is man enough to know what he likes and doesn't beat around the bush. Susan Stoker always gives you the action and suspense you crave along with romance and a HEA. So cannot wait for the next book in this series, actually I cannot wait any book by this author

This is book one in The Silverstone Series and it is Carson (bull) and Skylar's story and omg what a story it is. Bull left the army and opened Silverstone Towing company and it was a front for there job as hired killers along with his best friend and teammates and they took out the dregs of society. Kylar is a kindergarden teacher and she absolutely loved her job and when her car starts to play up and made funny noises she called Silverstone Towing and it was Bull who went to her rescue. Kylar and Bull had an instant connection but Kylar had led a sheltered life and Bull was so jaded but they were so perfect for each other and it complimented the light and the dark that was Skylar and Bull. There are twists and turns that you don't see coming but you have to keep turning the pages to see what would happen next and you are definitely not disappointed as the characters and storyline pulled you in and you can't put this book down as it is so addictive. This is an amazing start to a new series and I can't wait to read the next book. I loved Bull, Eagle, Gramps and Smoke so much as they were so connected and had each other's back regardless of the situation and who wouldn't want these men in your corner. Susan Stoker is an amazing author and writer and every one of her books are true masterpieces and you definitely need to read this book and others by her and you will not be disappointed.
I voluntarily reviewed an Arc copy of this book.

Cute Romance with some Darker Elements.
Skylar Reid is a naive and trusting kindergarten teacher and it is her innocence and goodness of heart that draws Carson “Bull” Rhodes like a moth to a flame. She makes him feel good about himself and some of the ugliness that inhabits his world has less of a hold on him. But how will she react when she learns the truth of his secret life? An intriguing start to an new series about an off-the-books black ops group who also run a towing service in Indianapolis.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It's always exciting to read a new book from Susan Stoker, and when it’s a new series, well double the excitement! Trusting Sklar is the first in the Silverstone series. Back from Peru, helping out an old friend, the guys from Silverstone Towing are ready for some normal days, especially “Bull” Carson Rhodes. When he takes care of a tow meeting Skylar and can’t get her out of his mind.
Skylar, whos innocence can be dangerous for her, and when she finds out what the guys really do, has a hard time accepting their being “assassins” in her mind. When danger finds Skylar, it is a suspense story leaving you on the edge of your seat. And as Bull rushes to rescue her, you are hoping it’s not too late for their Happily Ever After.
