Rescuing Sadie (Delta Force Heroes, #7.5)

by Susan Stoker

[Eve1972]

Hmmm...well this was an interesting read...Masters and Mercenaries is one of my favorite series, and this whole "crossover" thing that seems to be so popular nowadays in Romancelandia had me intrigued. So I figured I would give these six side books a read since I was intrigued by more than a few of the guys being featured. We meet both Chase and Sadie (briefly) in the M&M series, and I couldn't wait to read more about Sean Taggart's niece.



My main issue with this book? I felt like I was dropped in the middle of an ongoing story concerning Sadie. I am guessing her story starts in another book. Which one I have NO clue, but assume one of Miz Stokers? I'll be honest; this perturbed me a little bit. And maybe this is just how these crossovers work? I don't know as this is the first one I have attempted to read. But I already have to have read at least some of the M&M series to know who these characters are, and now apparently I also need to read at least one (maybe more) book(s) by this author to actually get WTF happened to Sadie before THIS book begins. Like I said, perhaps this is how they are done. I don't know; I do know that being dropped into a story already half over had me disappointed, and my rating reflects that.



NOW...all that being said, the writing was still very good. This was my first Susan Stoker book, and she has an excellent flow to her writing. The characters were very likable. I loved seeing Sean Taggart. Chase was a sweety. Sadie was likable. It is a super short book, and the sex doesn't come until very late in the book. I wish it would have been a bit spicier. There is basically zero angst and no OW or OM drama. Last, it was all wrapped up in a lightning speed resolution. So ya, it was OK. I am sure it would have been better had I read whichever book had the beginning of Sadie and Chase's story, but it was what it was.
