Shielding Kinley (Delta Team Two Book 2) Kindle Edition

She’s always been an outsider, but it’s a dangerous time to be alone and he may be her only hope.

Being raised in the foster system has made Kinley Taylor feel like a lifelong outcast, but it’s witnessing a young girl’s last few minutes on Earth that proves just how alone she truly is. Kinley has no one to turn to, no family, no friends…except perhaps the gorgeous Delta Force soldier she met months ago. The one she ignored when he’d tried to keep in touch, convinced he couldn’t really be interested in a relationship.

When Kinley ghosts him not once, but twice, Gage “Lefty” Haskins takes the hint. Clearly the pretty personal assistant didn’t feel the same connection he did. Or so he assumes…until she shows up in Texas, on the run for her life after already surviving an assassination attempt. Lefty couldn’t turn her away even if he wanted to—and he doesn’t. The longer he knows her, the greater the connection he feels. He just has to keep Kinley alive long enough to convince her she’s The One.

Easier said than done, when the man who wants her dead has friends in high places…and a very patient hitman on retainer.

** Shielding Kinley is the 2nd book in the Delta Team Two Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Really enjoyed this book
What an amazing book this was!!! Both of these characters were amazing in there own way.Lefty was a perfect hero in this book. He was strong and protective, but yet caring, concerned and patient. He didn't rush Kinley in any way but yet was very vocal to her about his wants, desires and future plans but he was willing to do it at her speed.I was blown away by Kinley. I could relate to her in so many ways. She has been hurt her entire life and has learned to depend on only herself and because of this has a very little self esteem. Watching her grow and build confidence under Lefty's care was amazing to witness.This story was very suspenseful and kept you on the edge of your seat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Suspense

Shielding Kinley is a fabulous romantic suspense by Susan Stoker. Ms. Stoker has provided readers with a well-written story and packed it full of amazing characters. Kinley avoided Gage for months. Now she's in trouble and on the run. Gage was out on a mission when Kinley sought him out but she stayed in the area and it wasn't difficult to find her. Gage and Kinley's story is cover to cover drama, humor, spice, action and suspense. I enjoyed reading Shielding Kinley and look forward to reading more from Susan Stoker in the future. Shielding Kinley is book 2 of the Delta Team Two Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.

Just wow. Such a good book. And so sad. Linley has had a really hard life and has seen the crappiest side of humans and how horrible they can be. Growing up in foster care and being neglected, abused and forgotten. Gage ‘lefty’ is a kick ass delta and one hell of a gentleman. He is perfect. And after learning more about Linley and her self proclaimed weirdness falls head over heels. He is determined to at least be her friend and get to know her and show her she has people in her corner. Then she is sucked into a horrible situation. And then she turns to gage and his crew for help. So much craziness. But the sad part is that people like the ambassador, her boss and assassin for hire to exist in the world. And bong I wanted to cry for her and gage when they were separated. Wow. Just ugh so painful. The ending was beautiful and I was so overjoyed with it. And then even happier about the delta 3 team being moved. GOD TEX IS AMAZING!! His character is essential to almost all Susan Stokers books. Whether he shows up or not her readers know that when it hits the fan Tex is there for his country and his fellow operatives and those who protect the innocent and weak. LOVED!!

Gage, aka Lefty, and Kinley are perfectly matched. The character development is well done and Kinsey is a remarkable and unique character with great strength and determination. The one drawback of the story is the way-too-much repetition. We get it early on that Kinley is an introvert, lacking in self-confidence and naive in social graces. No need to belabor that point repeatedly in the story. It got old quickly.

Shielding Kinley: Delta Team Two Book 2 is by Susan Stoker. This book continues in susan’s wonderful way of writing. It had suspense, action, and romance, but doesn’t hit you over the head with any of those. The reader finds herself wanting to meet the characters and become their friends.
Lucky is a member of Seal Team Two out of Texas and got his nickname for being very lucky in his decisions while on their missions. If they are looking for someone, he is usually the one to find him/her. However, his luck does not spill over into his love life. Girls just don’t stick with him.
Kinley is the personal assistant to a leading congressman in Washington. She goes with him on all his travels and makes sure things all turn out well. She does not have any friends nor has she never had friends. In her foster homes she would stay by herself and read rather than interact with the others. In none of the foster homes did she feel loved and wanted. She was very introverted and preferred to be alone.
At a mission in Paris, she is up late one evening looking out her window when she sees the US Ambassador to France, Drake Stryker, escort a young lady out the back of the hotel into his waiting limo. She knew he had diner with her boss. She admired the girl’ shoes. The next day was their last day in London. Then it was time to hit the airplane, fly home, and forget the past.
She was awakened by her best friend who told her to watch the news. The girl she had seen was dead. She had been murdered. What was Kinley to do? Who could she trust?

I’ve read a ton of Susan Stoker novels, but this one FAR exceeded any to date! No review I could write will do it justice. Kinley’s backstory is heart wrenching and Lefty is the perfect man to soothe her ache. Have tissues available when you start this MUST read! Mrs. Stoker…..thank you, thank you, thank you. Seriously spectacular!

Second time reading this book as I read through all of SS's work.

Did I enjoy this book the first time I read it 2 years ago? Yes, I absolutely did. Did I enjoy it even more the second time through? ABSOLUTELY!

Lefty actually met Kinley prior to this book taking place while they were on a babysitting mission in Africa. Only, after promising to keep in touch with him, she ghosted him. Why? Because she doubted her appeal? She thought he was only being kind to her and didn't really want to hear from her again. Boy was she wrong. So this time, when they're on a babysitting mission again in Paris, he sees her again. Only this time, she apologizes for ghosting and promises not to do it again. Little did she know that her phone would be shattered into a million pieces and she would be running for her life. Where, you might ask? Right into his arms of course.

Loved this story. But still trying to figure out what marker Tex called in and who took care of her issue toward the end of the book. My mind is wanting to lean toward Silverstone but I just don't know!

This was a riveting read. The thrilling plot was filled with intrigue, suspense, and romance. Moreover, the interesting and believable characters, Gage and Kinley, gushed with chemistry. They were truly made for each other. The author's use of vivid details helped to create a thrilling and suspenseful tone. I enjoyed reading the page-turning narrative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story and awesome characters, loved this book.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 26, 2020

There is no hero quite like a Susan Stoker hero and I love her stories and this book is one of her best. In this book we have Gage/Lefty who is the super alpha Delta Force soldier, who is disappointed that after feeling a strong connection with Kinley she ghosts him. His strong desire to connect with her even if it’s just to be friends gives you all the feels.

Kinley is a force to be reckoned with just as much as Gage is. Kinley has had a hard, lonely life before she meets Gage and his team and does not feel worthy of love. But when Kinley’s life is in danger after seeing a high powered politician with a murderer victim the night she is killed, she seeks out Gage to help her contact the right people to share what she’s seen. This book has a little bit of everything in it - sweet moments, strong friendships, some fan your face sexy times, real life issues, imperfect characters, dangerous high stress situations, and so much love. And Gage doesn't disappoint, he is a growly, protective Alpha whilst also being respectful, supportive and proud of his woman. 'Swoon' we are ruined for all 'real life' men! Great book, I just loved it and can't wait for more from this series.

Whew, that is by far the most suspensful and thrilling book I have read from this author and I've read all the books.... Anyway. The story is quite fast paced - they're just headed back from Paris and "Boom" Kinley's in the run for her life - uncoordinated at first but then straight to Texas and Lefty. Well, I guess Kinley Had to suffer even more than Caroline (Protecting Caroline) had back in the day. A very, very intense story, that will leave you not just a little astonished for what the body can endure and the soul/heart can take. And big, bad Delta Lefty being all mushy-mushy just Shows he's only human too. Best book ever. Well, not quite, because all of Susans books are amazing. And even Tex re-appears. Wonderful!
