Searching for Lilly (Eagle Point Search & Rescue)

Searching for Lilly was a fantastic read! I really enjoyed the story and the introduction of the town and its residents; especially the new team of guys. And loved the town map at the beginning of the book – it really helped to visualize the surroundings and understand how small of a town it really was. I grew up in a small town and I am very aware of the busybodies, small-town mentalities, slight unease of outsiders, etc. I gotta say Susan nailed it! The characters are charming, the storyline engaging, and the romance ranges from instant attraction to a sizzling slow-burn to igniting to sexy and fun. I loved Lilly and Ethan together. We get to follow Lilly as she struggles with herself and her thoughts (of right and wrong) related to her job, her feelings of her own self-worth as well as relationships and interaction with others, and her feelings for Ethan. She had amazing inner strength and was well-grounded thanks to her wonderful family. Her relationship with her dad was awesome. As for Ethan- we get a glimpse of why he left the military and the haunting memories that caused his PTSD, along with his daily struggles – especially when it comes to a relationship with Lilly, seeing the town through his eyes as he introduces Lilly around, and his bond with his brother and his team. He was just an all-around wonderful guy. This book is full of laughs, friendship and strong bonds, family, quirky townsfolk, a four-legged friend, steamy bits, chemistry, and romance. I absolutely love the setup for this series and I cannot wait to get to know the rest of the team.

Searching for Lily is the first installment in Susan Stoker’s Eagle Point Search and Rescue series. She introduces her readers to the romantic journey of Lilly Ray and Ethan “Chaos” Watson. Both are independent and strong individuals who are vulnerable. Lilly as the only girl in a male dominated family learned to be tough and independent. However years of being overlooked and taken for granted in Hollywood as a camera operator leaves her emotionally wounded. Ethan, a former SEAl, relocated to Fallport and with his twin brother, Rocky, and former military brothers created the Eagle Point Search and Rescue team. Destiny brings them together when a paranormal reality show comes to town searching for Big Foot. When Ethan and Lilly meet there is an instant attraction. Due to the demons that haunt them, they resist. Foul play erupts on the paranormal show resulting in one murder and potentially another when Lily is kidnapped. Will Ethan find her in time? Will they overcome their emotional demons and acknowledge their feelings for each other? To find out you must read this book. I enjoy the way Ms. Stoker’s blends romance, suspense,family, and life in a small rural community. Ms. Stoker creates the perfect recipe for this captivating romantic suspense. She blends in strong, multi-dimensional, and likeable lead characters, chemistry, and a splash of gentle intimacy, some passionate and erotic scenes to make this an outstanding romance story.

Searching for Lilly is the starter novel for Eagle Point Search and Rescue series. In this series, author Susan Stoker takes a step away from her hunky active duty Special Forces/ Ops men and creates a world for a Search and Rescue team in small town Fallport, Virginia. Yet, it isn't too big a jump from her active duty characters as the seven men of Eagle Point SAR all have Special Forces backgrounds. Susan Stoker has a talent for creating sexy alpha male heroes that take your breath away, not only because of their physical attributes but their kindness and caring demeanor. Yet, every one of Susan Stoker's men have broken souls that need mending. This is true with the men of Eagle Point. Their reasons for leaving the military vary but each of them are in Fallport to heal. Susan demonstrates sensitivity and understanding of disabilities of body, mind, and spirit, veterans suffer with. Which for this ex-army nurse whose spouse is a disabled Special Forces veteran,puts her on my MUST READ bookshelf. In Searching for Lilly, the hero, Ethan is one of those wounded warriors Susan is famous for. His journey towards becoming whole again is aided by an equally intriguing female, Lilly. The depth and breath of these main characters transformation in this story is true artristy. Ethan and Lilly are so real, so human, they could be my neighbors. As I read, I couldn't help but wish I could travel to Fallport, Virginia and set-up home. Another talent Susan Stoker has is her ability to create quirky small-town characters with bigger than life personalities. From the three old men playing chess in front of the post office every day to a bloodhound who never passes up a chance to nap, the people (&dog) will capture your heart. I had many laugh out loud moments as I enjoyed my escape to Fallport. Suspense could be Susan Stoker's middle name! Searching for Lilly has more twists and turns in the storyline than a roller coaster at Six Flags! Several times I was sure I knew who the villain was only to be surprised in the end. Susan combines the big reveal with a knuckle chewing danger scene that has you wondering how it can possibly end well for our hero and heroine! Masterfully written! The romance in this story ranges from sweet romantic gestures to steamy hot love scenes. Ethan and Lilly's love story plays out as though on the big screen instead the pages of a book. How anyone can make a kiss so tingling, using only words, amazes me. I melted into a puddle of goo as I read. Download your own copy of Searching for Lilly. I guarantee you will be as enchanted with Eagle Point Search and Rescue as I am!
