You'd think being kidnapped and held in the jungle of Nigeria would be harrowing enough。 But even after she is rescued and brought back to the US， Molly finds that there is another threat。 Not only that， but her grandparents are dead and it looks like it was homicide。 She has no other family， but Smoke and the team that rescued her are ready to give her whatever support she needs。 The first meeting between Molly and Smoke still makes me laugh thinking about it。 What is not to love about Smoke - You'd think being kidnapped and held in the jungle of Nigeria would be harrowing enough。 But even after she is rescued and brought back to the US， Molly finds that there is another threat。 Not only that， but her grandparents are dead and it looks like it was homicide。 She has no other family， but Smoke and the team that rescued her are ready to give her whatever support she needs。 The first meeting between Molly and Smoke still makes me laugh thinking about it。 What is not to love about Smoke - alpha male， very protective， polite， generous， and a very positive person。 And Molly is strong in her own right， not a complainer about what has happened to her or having to track through the jungle， and she is able to change her perception about herself the more she is around Smoke。 This story will keep you turning the pages until you get to the end。 。。。more

This is book 3 in the Silverstone series and while it could be read as a standalone， I would recommend reading the first 2 books before this one just because all the characters are interconnected and introduced previously。 In this one we get Mark "Smoke" and Molly's story。 Molly is a schoolteacher who went to Nigeria just hoping to leave her "bad luck" behind her。 She wasn't expecting to find herself kidnapped along with the schoolgirls from her class。 Smoke and his team are sent to Nigeria to t This is book 3 in the Silverstone series and while it could be read as a standalone， I would recommend reading the first 2 books before this one just because all the characters are interconnected and introduced previously。 In this one we get Mark "Smoke" and Molly's story。 Molly is a schoolteacher who went to Nigeria just hoping to leave her "bad luck" behind her。 She wasn't expecting to find herself kidnapped along with the schoolgirls from her class。 Smoke and his team are sent to Nigeria to take out the target who kidnapped not only Molly but the schoolgirls。 He knows his mission and he has no issues with heading into danger with his team。 But he wasn't expecting to find Molly or to have the reaction that he does to her。 And when he gets her back to the states and she finds out that her grandparent's passed away while she was gone， he gives her a place to come to terms with the things she missed。 And to figure out her next move。 But as they grow closer together， neither are expecting a past threat to come back for Molly。 I was slightly iffy with this one before I started it。 I wasn't sure how much I would like someone who seemed to be characterized by her having bad luck。 But honestly， I was surprised with how much I truly liked Molly's character。 Yes， she has had bad things happen to her。 But she actually takes the time to listen to the people who talk to her about it-and makes the conscious decision to not be so negative about her life and the things that happen。 And when she feel's like she may be being negative-she makes a choice to change her own thinking！ I loved that about her！ She has not only this great heart to her but she is self aware enough to know that something has to change in order for her to find her happiness。 That is the hardest thing for people to do！ Smoke is this great human being who lost a lot growing up， just like Molly did， but he chooses not to let it define him。 And he has no problem helping the people that need it， even more than what they would want。 But I actually loved that about him。 He has a need to help the people he cares about-even when they don't want him to。 I was surprised with just how much these two complemented each other。 I thought they wouldn't mesh， and they did beyond belief！ The suspense was something I wasn't expecting， but it just added to the story and kept me reading！ Now I need Gramps story because the way this ended just left me needing to know even more！ 。。。more

I’m always amazed at how Susan comes up with different， and still terrifying， bad guys！ I’m always in awe of how she connects our heroes and heroines perfectly。 And I always know I’m in for a ride with bumps， bruises， sexiness， and strength for the characters， and Smoke and Molly were no exception。 These two were quiet， unassuming， and so deep that I was immediately drawn into their story。 They explained their backgrounds， their experiences， their current， and their futures。 I was there with the I’m always amazed at how Susan comes up with different， and still terrifying， bad guys！ I’m always in awe of how she connects our heroes and heroines perfectly。 And I always know I’m in for a ride with bumps， bruises， sexiness， and strength for the characters， and Smoke and Molly were no exception。 These two were quiet， unassuming， and so deep that I was immediately drawn into their story。 They explained their backgrounds， their experiences， their current， and their futures。 I was there with them as they gained understanding and fell in love。 They made my heart race， my heart sigh， and my heart sooth， as they worked their way to their HEA！ 。。。more

Molly has the worst luck ever so being kidnapped while in Nigeria is just more proof of it。 Smoke is happy to find Molly alive and he knows instantly that fate has plans for them。 He just has to keep her safe from her stalker ex。I liked it。 Smoke is a pretty good guy and generous to a fault。

**This book was given to me by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**This was almost like two different stories。 There was the exciting rescue-hostage-in-a-foreign-country portion of the book， and then there was the insta-love-come-stay-with-me-and-I'll-protect-you-from-your-crazy-ex portion of the book。 The beginning， and rescue part of the story， was action packed and exciting。 The crazy ex wants revenge part was just ok。 This was the first book I have read by this author and I did reall **This book was given to me by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**This was almost like two different stories。 There was the exciting rescue-hostage-in-a-foreign-country portion of the book， and then there was the insta-love-come-stay-with-me-and-I'll-protect-you-from-your-crazy-ex portion of the book。 The beginning， and rescue part of the story， was action packed and exciting。 The crazy ex wants revenge part was just ok。 This was the first book I have read by this author and I did really appreciate her writing style and ability to build suspense。 I will definitely read more books by this author。 。。。more

My favorite part about Trusting Molly was the way Smoke fell instantly for Molly。 He felt an immediate connection and he worked hard at keeping that connection and making something of it。 He was protective and very caring towards Molly。 He treated her like a queen。 What could you possibly not like about that？Molly was a bit harder for me， only because she had a bit of a negative personality。 That is just a bit of a struggle for me and I wanted her to be better for Smoke。 Good news is he coached My favorite part about Trusting Molly was the way Smoke fell instantly for Molly。 He felt an immediate connection and he worked hard at keeping that connection and making something of it。 He was protective and very caring towards Molly。 He treated her like a queen。 What could you possibly not like about that？Molly was a bit harder for me， only because she had a bit of a negative personality。 That is just a bit of a struggle for me and I wanted her to be better for Smoke。 Good news is he coached her into taking less self blame and thinking more positively。 Another win for Smoke's love and care for her。Like a the rest of the series， the suspense in the book really keeps you engaged to what is happening in the book。 I also really love seeing all the same main characters in each book。 I can't wait for Gramps to get his HEA！ 。。。more
