Trusting Molly by Susan StokerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Technically flawless romantic suspense
This is the third book in the Silverstone series and although we do meet characters from previous books, this can be read as a standalone. While Molly and Smoke (Mark) meet in the Nigerian jungle, the story plays out when they are back home. But, similar to a meet-cute, this suspense meet is only the start.
Smoke steps in to give Molly a safe place to land, given her previous kidnapping troubles and coming home to her only family (grandparents) murdered. Although Smoke is enamoured from the start, I did appreciate that this was not an insta-lust situation. Instead, he gave Molly the space she needed to both come to terms with what has happened to her but also for them to get to know each other better. Although Molly is strong and brave, she does have a decidedly negative inner dialogue- but this forms part of the story and the impact that Smoke has on her worldview.
The story has all the same elements as other Susan Stoker books: Possessive hero, Sassy heroine, Good action and, of course, Romance, all neatly tied with technically flawless prose. Although this read will probably not blow your mind, it is always good to know Susan Stoker is an author you can pick up without worrying about the quality. You will always have a good engaging story to sink your teeth into.
