Trusting Skylar is the first book in Susan Stoker’s new Silverstone series and it is a wonderful story. I was completely captivated by the two main characters Carson “Bull” Rhodes and Skylar Reid and from the glimpses of the rest of Bull’s team – Eagle, Gramps, and Smoke – I am really looking forward to reading their stories as well. If you enjoyed Stoker’s Mountain Mercenaries series, you will definitely enjoy this new series. It’s like the Mountain Mercenary guys and then some. They are also briefly mentioned in the final book in the series, Defending Raven.
Silverstone’s mission is to deal with the worst of the worst, to rid the world of the depraved and evilest of humanity and they work to do this while running a legitimate towing business in the forefront as a cover, and taking on missions in secret. From their years’ in the army, these four men work like a finely oiled machine and are closer than blood. So when one falls fast and hard, it affects them all both personally and professionally. Even more so when the sweet, innocent teacher finds herself in a heap of trouble no one saw coming and it’s up to Bull and his team to find her and bring her home safe.
These two were an odd pairing, but they worked. I enjoyed the honesty Carson and Skylar had with each other while building their relationship along with the easy conversations and chemistry they shared. You could tell the attraction was instant and electric and they both, for their own reasons, worked to build something solid at a steady pace instead of rushing in full steam. I really liked the rapport Skylar had with her kindergarten class and Bull and his team’s interactions with them as well; there were some cute moments with the kids. There were also some fun moments when she first meets the guys at Silverstone.
Since Trusting Skylar is the first book in the series, some of this story was setting up the overall background along with Carson and Skylar getting to know each other and letting us get to know them. There are adorable kids, some fun and laughs, alpha gruffness, swoon-worthy alpha sweetness, great friends and family, a bit of drama, danger, and, of course, a rescue with a happy ending. It’s the perfect mix of suspense and romance. A new series not to miss especially if you are a Susan Stoker fan.

Trusting Skylar is the first book in the Silverstone Series. Once again, Susan Stoker has created a world of alpha men who fight for the good of the world and the beautiful women that they are called to protect. Carson “Bull” Rhodes has been out of the dating scene for quite a while. He and his friends have found a way to continue their military work off the grid and they are using their towing company as a cover. After a dangerous mission, Bull meets a beautiful woman named Skylar as he tows her car to safety. Skylar is a Kindergarten teacher and is quite taken by Bull. Although, a school teacher and an assassin may seem to be a very unlikely pair somehow these two just click. With passion and romance blooming, there seems to be nothing that will keep them apart!Told in multiple POVs, Trusting Skylar is another winning read by Susan Stoker. It never fails to amaze me how much I adore the instant connection her characters form and the way in which the plot slowly builds and unfolds. The Silverstone series promises to be another blockbuster series for romance fans everywhere to devour!Overall, Trusting Skylar will appeal to contemporary romance fans who enjoy military men and strong heroines! Stoker books are always full of action, passion, and flirty fun!
