Tom Paoletti was involved in an accident during a SEAL mission that nearly killed him, or at least nearly put him in a permanent vegetative state. Now he's home and trying to work out what's wrong with his uncle and his lifelong friend and employer; and adding to the confusion is his long running yearning for Dr Kelly Ashton. When he thinks he sees a terrorist he's been chasing for a while, a terrorist assumed dead, his superiors put it down to his head injury, he's not sure, and enlists a motley crew to investigate.

The details about the long-term issues Tom has with the head injury are interesting and add to the character. Malory is great fun and David comes across as a proper geek. I enjoyed the ride. ( )

Usually when it comes to books labeled as romance, I tend to stick with the paranormal variety. However, I have a couple of good friends who continually have recommended this author and this series to me, which I would tend to call romantic suspense, so I decided to give it a try.

I absolutely loved this book! I thought the story was pretty interesting, and the characters were wonderful. I really enjoyed how Brockmann had the love story going on with Tom and Kelly, as well as you find out about their fathers' times in the war and a love triangle that was going on there. All this time, there is the story of Tom trying to capture this terrorist in his hometown, and getting the backing from is superior officers. ( )

The earlier 'Troubleshooter' books are Brockmann at her best.
Then it becomes too much of the same ol' same ol.' ( )

I hate romantic suspense and so I don't usually read military-type romances because it's always - the killer is after her and she keeps passing out but the man in the camo pants will save her! Not into that. But I like the general hero part (it is a romance, after all), and I really liked this one. The thing that stood out to me is the amount of back story - the hero and heroine have a history (they've been in love since they were teens! But never said anything!), and their fathers also have a history, told in WWII flashbacks. That made the ending emotionally satisfying, if sad. ( )

Me gusta. I love her Tall, Dark and Dangerous Harlequin series - this is just like that only more so. In the Harlequins, there's one romance per book, with maybe a few hints of setting up others. In this, there's the main characters' romance, the ancient romance, the easy romance (that could easily have been an entire Harlequin book - just would have to add a few more obstacles and a bit more obtuseness on the part of the people involved), plus hints of at least one more major romance and maybe another. And all written with Brockmann's usual style and elegance. Me gusta mucho. ( )
