~~Review~~ Protecting Alabama by Susan Stoker

Title: Protecting Alabama (SEAL Of Protection #2)

Author: Susan Stoker

Publisher: Self Published

Published Date: October 31, 2014

Genre: Romance/Military

Page Count: 258

**Protecting Alabama is a stand-alone love story. It’s Book 2 in the SEAL of Protection Series.** 

Alabama didn’t have a good start to life. Emotionally and physically abused by her mama, Alabama spent her high school years in foster care. People let her down, time after time, and she’d learned to rely on only herself. 

Christopher “Abe” Powers earned his nickname because he tolerated nothing less than absolute honesty from the people around him. Finding the bar scene stale and having watched his friend and teammate, Wolf, find the woman of his dreams, Abe was determined to find someone to share his life with too. 

Alabama and Abe had no idea their paths would cross and their prayers would be answered, but like most things in life, nothing is ever as easy as it seems at first. Two words would change both their lives and they’d have to fight hard for their happy ever after. 

Protecting Alabama is by far my favorite book from Susan Stoker. We follow Alabama from her tortured childhood at the hands of her mother. The way she was treated as a child will leave you cringing. We finally meet her as an adult. She has struggled hard to rise above her past and become an independent woman. Kudos to her. Alabama as a character is skittish and a loner. She seems to prefer her life that away because she is fearful of being her again. At the same time she has grown as a person who can stand up for herself and is willing to put herself in harm’s way to help others. This is where she meets Abe.

Abe is a character that expects honesty from everyone. He values it. Hints his nickname Abe for Honest Abe. Abe is great for Alabama. He is protective of her and shows her that she is truly worthy of love and affection. He brings out a side of her that she never knew existed. I loved Abe’s character until his “honesty above all else” mentality got in the way. He sees things only one way and refuses to understand that he could be wrong. Poor Abe, didn’t realize that men are not right all the time. =)

Stoker pours the emotion into this book. You can feel what Alabama is feeling. It jumps off the page. You feel very empathetic for her character. Not many books make you feel the characters pain, heartbreak and happiness. This one is definitely one of the good ones. There is a letter that Alabama’s character writes that will have you balling like a baby.

If you are looking for an emotional romance, pick this book up. You will not be disappointed.

5 out of 5 Stars!!!!

~~Review~~ Safe by Ryan Michele

Title: Safe (Conquering #1)

Author: Ryan Michele

Publisher: Self Published

Published Date: December 6, 2013

Genre: Contemperray Romance/Suspense

Page Count: 324

Moving to Williamsfield, Georgia is not what she wants … it’s what she needs. An escape—from him. 

After being brutally abused for years, Sadie seeks sanctuary and safety. But can she ever be safe when evil has his eyes on her from afar. 

Landon doesn’t want a relationship. He’s been burned too badly to want anything more from a woman than the physical, but one look at Sadie and he’s rethinking everything. 

Can trust be formed when it’s been so beaten down? Can love conquer fears? What happens when evil doesn’t give up? Can Sadie ever really be safe? 

**Please note. This book contains the very difficult subject of physical abuse and has a nonconsensual sexual scene. It also has a very strong woman who learns to heal from these acts and finds the kind of love we all dream of having.

Safe opens with Sadie being told by her mom that she needs to escape to safety. Her mom only wants the best for her and if sending her away is it, then she’ll do it. It’s a heartbreaking scene to read. The mother just wants her daughter safe from her abuser. It is one of the first times I cried at the beginning of the book. We cut to Sadie has moved with her aunt and uncle. She is trying to pick up the pieces of her life. Then in walks the man who will change her life forever, Landon. Landon is a bit of a playboy and you think that they are not good together. These two people change each other. You forgive Landon’s whore-ish past when you read how her changes her for the better.

Life is not always perfect for the couple. You are introduced to one character, whom you think is the one that will end their relationship. Then you realize that Sadie’s past is still out there with a big smug look on his face. As the story builds up to its climax, it takes twist and turns that leave you wondering “What happened?” and “Who can anyone trust?”.

All in all the story is emotional and heartwarming. It leaves you falling in love with the characters and wanting more at the end.

Michele did a fantastic job at writing this story. Sometimes when people write about abuse it has a cheesy Lifetime movie feel, but not with this one. I gobbled this book up in one seating, even through my ugly cry tears. Michele was able to write this in a classy way so that you do not have to have the gruesome details of abuse. It is still told in a way that you can feel the force of the character’s pain. To see another side of the author, that is not MC related, is refreshing. Not that I don’t love her other books, because I do love my MC series. =)

This is a definite recommend. Please not that it is for 18+ due to themes.  

5 out of 5 Stars!!!!

Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream. Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.
