Thank you!

Thank you Susan! ♥️ This book is just as great as your other books. I was kind of sad it was over after the epilogue. 🙈 can’t wait for Kinley to come out! 🤩

Independent Gillian 💪🏼

Gillian is one of the girls, but when it comes to tough situations she steps up to the plate. After her plane being hijacked and being used as the intermediary between the police and the hijackers, and then getting rescued by an elite group with a handsome man who catches her eye, she is undeniably strong and determined. I liked that she and Waker take it slow, and that she is not the damsel in distress. Walker is such a gentleman and a protector, that she still needs because she is still in danger. Suspense and sweet romance combined in this audiobook. Ms Rose has a great voice and brings all characters to life with her narration.

Brilliant

I have to say Virginia Rose was brilliant narrator for this great book.


What can I say, I loved this story of Walker and Gillian. My hat of to you Susan Stoker, you all ways entertain .

Drama, calm , romance, love , Loved the characters. How Walker is a gentleman and Gillian a strong woman, who falls for this alpha man. I do not want to give much away, but you will not be disappointed.

Great thriller

From its intense, well described start, through to its finale, Shielding Gillian succeeded in taking me along for an exciting and suspenseful ride. Virginia Rose narrated with confidence and versatility. She is able to convince in both the male and female roles 💖💖💖💖

Do you recommend this audiobook and will you pick up more?
YES! I have had a few of Susan Stokers books sitting in my Wish List for a long time now. This is the first book that I have read by her and I was automatically hooked that I have started on the other series (SEAL of Protection)! Susan had a knack for not only having sexy strong and protective heroes but strong female heroines.

I was gifted this audiobook in exchange for an honest review by Susan and I am so thrilled that I had the chance to listen.

5 stars

I think this is my 2nd book reading of Susan's and I really loved it! Had instant action, characters were great and I really look forward to the next one!

Virginia Rose did an amazing job narrating.

Love this

I really enjoyed this book. It felt kind of like a slow burn, but not. You get to enjoy some actual happy time with the couple before more drama hits and I loved that. I fell like a lot of stories are spent getting them together and then when they finally get there the book is over. This book gets going quickly and you get right to the thick of it. I love the characters and Walker is the perfect boyfriend almost too perfect. Virginia Rose does a great job with both male and female roles. I recommend this book for sure.

🎧Audiobook Obsession

Shielding Gillian

I have listened to several of Susan Stoker's books, and I think this one is my favorite so far. I loved both Walker and Gillian. The storyline had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Virginia Rose did an excellent job bringing this story to life. I'm looking forward to listening to more of this series. I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

A good 50/50 mix of romance and suspense

First, Virginia Rose did an amazing job. Reading and both female and male voices were great. Loved that she's not bubbly when she reads. If she could change the male voices up a bit more for all the different team members she would be fantastic. She is relatively new to me and would love to listen to more from her.

Great romantic suspense. Action started in the first chapter and stayed for most of the book - 5 stars. I also enjoyed the romance between Walker and Gillian - 4.5 stars. I had to take a half off with the slow burn, their reasoning behind waiting just seemed unrealistic to wait so long while also sleep sleeping together all the time.

Loved the teaser for the next book - can't wait!

It starts with a firework

It starts with a firework and doesn’t slow until the end. We’re barely 5 minutes in when the hostages taking happens, and the whole first part is action packed. Then comes a second part where the main couple reunites and finally more action and suspense. But don’t worry, the romance is still at the center of the story.

Gillian is independant, level headed, and strong. It was a very interesting character, and I liked that she never needs Walker to get her out of trouble–except that one time when she needs comfort, and that makes the moment even more powerful. On the other end, we have an extremely protective alpha male who doesn’t want a relationship. Or so he says, because from their first meeting, he keeps showing the exact opposite–spending the night at her appartment, not wanting to jump into a physical relationship…

The action part is thrilling, and the romance part is both adorable and hot. A good combination, especially compelling with the excellent narration.
