Publisher's summary

Once upon a time, Elsie Ireland thought she’d found the man of her dreams, only to learn her fairy-tale romance was just another cautionary tale. Beyond a perfect family image, her husband had little interest in Elsie and even less in their son. Years later, she and nine-year-old Tony have landed in Fallport, Virginia. She’s working two jobs and living in a motel, but Tony has a roof over his head and plenty of love. For Elsie, however, love isn’t in the cards. She doesn’t have the time to spare...or the trust.

After serving his country as a Green Beret, Zeke Calhoun was happy to get out of the military and settle into the small-town life as a bar owner. His position with Eagle Point Search and Rescue fulfills his need to serve and provides some of the best friends he’s ever known. He didn’t realize anything was missing, until it was right under his nose every day - his sweet, shy waitress, Elsie.

It isn’t easy to convince the independent, gun-shy single mom to let him in - and with memories of his own disastrous marriage still plaguing him, Zeke isn’t fully certain he’s the best bet for a healthy relationship.

But one stolen kiss in a heightened moment and he’s a goner. Vowing that Elsie and Tony’s lives are about to change for the better, Zeke is up for the challenge of proving that not all men are like her ex.... A task made significantly more difficult when a complication throws the couple’s fledgling relationship off course - then quickly spirals into a life-or-death situation no one saw coming.

Searching for Elsie is the second book in the Eagle Point Search and Rescue series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliff-hanger endings.

So much charm and sweetness

Okay in this one we are moving along in the story. I felt it was pretty basic romance (wonderful characters and lovely romance) but then out of nowhere…BAM! I had all these strong feelings rise up in me! I was like..WAIT…what did I just HEAR?! *rewind and relisten*. I could not believe what I just heard! I was literally shocked and angered at the same time. NO, I am not going to say what it is but WOW does it pack a punch!

So the storyline is surprising and shocking. The characters are kind and man did this bring out my love for Zeke! This is the guy every woman who has a child wants! He is kind, protective, ruggedly handsome, self sufficient and caring. These qualities made me love him. He really overshadows Elsie (don’t get me wrong she is great but Zeke pulls ahead). Him getting her a caramel macchiato all the time…so sweet!

I did listen to this on audio. CJ Bloom and William Peters do an amazing job portraying these characters. I am giving a shout out to Mr Peters as he sounded perfectly as I expected of Zeke.

Heartwarming, original and sexy!!

Wow…Susan Stoker has once again blown me away with her newest audiobook, Searching For Elsie! Susan Stoker is on my top five of favorite authors and Searching For Elsie is a perfect example of why. Susan always writes heartwarming, original sexy stories that is unbelievable with how much readers can enjoy listening to Searching For Elsie. Susan always releases her audiobook before her ebook and hardcover books. I am so here for it!! I can never get enough of Susan’s stories and will listen to the audiobook as soon as it comes out. Not only is the story always exceptional but the narrators really bring out the story from Susan. The narrators did an excellent job with infection and emotion in their narrations that enhances Susan’s story. I can’t wait for Searching For Bristol which is the next book in the Eagle Point Search and Rescue and Deserving Alaska which is a new series that is the next release from Susan Stoker! I love all of Susan Stoker’s books and I have read all of her books she has written and always look forward to her releases no matter what series or trope. Whether you read or listen to Susan’s books readers/listeners will not be disappointed!! Happing listening and reading!!

A little different from her usual

I really liked this story. So many of Susan's stories have active duty leads where in this series she is exploring the toll of serving our country, years after. Divorce, PTSD, homelessness, and suicide are huge issues for our retired servicemen. Heck, even getting the proper medical care through the Veteran's Administration is a nightmare. I love Zeke. I love Elsie and her son. The characters are well fleshed out, relatable, and you empathize with them. Yeah, if you meet the woman of your dreams at 35, she probably isn't a pure, white virgin. I also appreciate that this book deals with the issues without being preachy, I quit reading another of her series because I started feeling like I was being preached to. Even though I probably agree with nearly 100% of her politics, it takes away from the storytelling and becomes an infomercial. This series, so far, doesn't do this. I love the small town vibe. The three old men who play chess outside a shop make me laugh and I look forward to seeing them show up in the books. I really like the female reader, even when she is doing the male voices. The male reader is fine too, but I just like the female reader better. Overall, she got me hooked. I am fixing to pre-order the next one that comes out in November. After reading this one, I bought the first one and just finished that one too. Also good.
