Having read the first and second books of the Troubleshooters series, I knew I have to move on quickly to the third, OVER THE EDGE. The Troubleshooters series features action-packed thrillers of a certain group of the elite U.S. Navy SEALs.

OVER THE EDGE is a page-turner. In this installment, the focus of the story is on Senior Chief Stan Wolchonok and helicopter pilot in the naval reserves, Lieutenant Teri Howe. Stan is rock steady—to him no difficult challenges are unsolvable. Come to Stan and the problem WILL be solved. He takes Teri under his wings when he sees how she is being treated by her male counterparts. Teri shares her disturbing past […]

THE DEFIANT HERO is the second book of the Troubleshooters series and I read it in March this year. I had totally enjoyed the experience—what a great mix of intense adventure and love story that involves a group of the elite U.S. Navy SEALs.

In this installment, the focus of the story is on Navy SEAL Lieutenant junior grade, John Nilsson, and translator, Meg Moore. John has not seen Meg in years but when she calls for him for help, all the memories of her being with him come flooding back. But what’s shocking though is that she’s not the victim but rather the person who is holding a foreign ambassador hostage.

What John does not know is Meg […]

LADIES’ MAN by Suzanne Brockmann is a romance novel with a touch of thriller, which I finished in two sittings. I could’ve done it in one sitting, but hey, I only started late last night. It was still a treat.

The story unfolds at the airport where Ellen Layne meets a handsome stranger named Sam Schaefer. Ellen, a divorced single mother of two is from Connecticut and she comes to New York with her children to spend the summer at her uncle’s residence. Sam, an NYPD detective and best friend of T.S. Harrison, is a low-profile but hugely successful author. He is doing his friend a favor and that’s how he meets Ellen. It’s a chance meeting that leads to an unexpected fling and possibly a long-term romance.

My first and only Suzanne Brockmann book was LADIES’ MAN read back in December 2007. I’ve enjoyed it very much and I can say the same for THE UNSUNG HERO, which is the first book of the Troubleshooters series. I love its good mix of intense adventure, love story, and flashbacks by the Second World War veterans.

Thirty-six-year-old Navy SEAL Lieutenant Tom Paoletti returns to his New England hometown on a medical leave after a near-fatal head injury, which could potentially end his military career. Back home, he meets again with his old-time love Kelly Preston, now a pediatrician, whom he left behind sixteen years ago. He has never stopped thinking about her and his feelings for her are still very strong.

During this time, he spots someone in his hometown who looks like the international terrorist he had been tracking [...]
