She Tempts The Duke is the first in the Lords of Pembrook series. It has been a while since I have read from this author, and she has always been a personal favorite of mine. She never disappoints...and I found myself falling in love once more. The characters here are unforgettable, ones that are so endearing and climb their way straight into your hearts. Sebastian is a tortured hero--very much tortured, more than I have seen in a while. He is heavily scarred on the outside and the inside. We see evidence that he has suffered much over the years, but I really loved the way he is with his brothers and Mary. We see that he really cares for Mary, even if he doesn't admit it right away. I enjoyed seeing the gentleness he displays with her, even though he has only known a life of roughness and abuse and hardship. Mary is very strong willed and fights for what is right more than what is easy. Mary is the one who saved the three brothers when she was a mere girl. We see through differect acts of courage, how she continues to protect them even at costs to herself. She accepts Sebastian for who he has become, and see's past the scars and into the man. I love a heroine that doesn't judge, but accepts and loves Sebastian for who he is now. There is a danger side to the plot, one full of intrigue and mystery, there is also some sensual moments that keep you totally immersed into the story. A True Gem of a story that will steal its way into your heart.

Into The Storm is part of the Troubleshooters series, which begins with Petty Officer Mark Jenkins who liason with Tom Pelleti to organize a raid and rescue training exercise between the Seal Team 16 and the Troubleshooter team, and at first Jenk and Lindsey go head to head, and sparks are surely flying between the two. Lindsey Fontaine at first is attracted to Jenk, however when she notices that he is more attracted to the at first clumsy new receptionist Tracey Shapiro, she starts to despise the situation more, especially when it seems clear that he is extremely fond of her, but what she doesn't know, is that Jenk wants her way more than Tracey but hasn't fully realized it yet. But after they share one beautiful night together, things start to get more intense, which in a chain of events, Tracey Shapiro ends up in the hands of a serial killer, who likes to torture his women. So Jenk and Lindsey will have to work together to save Tracey from being sickly tortured by a crazy killer. Into The Storm was one book that I had yet to read out of all the Troubleshooters series, and I thought that I had read them all, but apparently I had missed one, and there are fifteen of them, but I truly loved reading Lindsey and Jenk's story. I loved all the different sub plots in this book, that anyone that has read this series would know what I am talking about. It was also one of those books that have a fun and exciting plot, especially the first half of it, the second half was more danger intense. It was also good to have a reunion of sorts in this book, where we see the member of SEAL team 16 and all the members of Troubleshooters team, and we even have a appearance of Jules Cassidy who is my favorite of all the characters in this series. We have two other sub plots in this book, we have a story between Izzy Zinella and Tracey Shapiro, and then the other plot involved a young woman that is being tortured by the serial killer, so its a interesting point of story that we see and notice and sickening this certain character is, so that the suspense really fills up your mind when Tracey gets taken. All in all it was a exciting and thrilling adventure that had me on a roller coaster of ups and downs and filled with surprises that shocked me at times. Definitely a 5 on the scale!!!

Lietenant Teri Howe, has always had a passion for flying ever since she was young. But she has a past that could put her career and her dreams down the toilet, until Senior Chief Stan Wolchonuck comes into the picture, and helps her out when she needed it. Now they are both in the task force for a mission to save those that are trapped on a plane by terrotists that hijacked it. However they must plan the take down of the plan down to every millisecond, so not to sacrifice any innocent lives. Teri is attracted to the Senior Chief, more so than Stan will ever admit. So believing that he is too old for her, and that she deserves someone better, despite his feeling, tries to set her up with Mike Muldoon, who is handsome yet a bit quiet when it comes to women, even though women flock to him. Though despite Stan's efforts in trying to change Teri's mind about him, they share some intimate moments that neither of them can deny, that they are falling in love with one another despite their current mission and the danger that is continuously circling them. Meanwhile we have a sub plot involving Sam Starret and Alyssa Locke, who have butted heads every time they see each other, except when they get kinda drunk they end up in bed together. But will these two couples find a balance in their quest for happiness for one another? And be able to complete the current mission at end?

Over The Edge, is a very intense romance. From beginnning to end we have these two couples, who at first deny what they feel for one another. As those of you who have read this series, Sam and Alyssa always but heads, however they also are very passionate especially with one another, and are afraid to admit the love they share, because it could change everything. Teri and Stan however, their situation is bit different. Stan genuinely cares for Teri, but to Teri's continuous frustration with Stan (who keeps trying to set her up with another man), they start to admit one anothers feelings for each other, and admit that they are best when they are together and not separate. I found Over The Edge to be a satisfying read, albeit a suspensful one at that, but they always are when Suzanne Brockmann is at the helm. Over the Edge also introduces the start of another future relationship between Max Bagat and Gina, whom I have come to adore throughout this series. Over The Edge is intensifying, yet very romantic and definitely one you don't want to miss out on reading, especially if you love romantic suspense fiction!! Suzanne Brockmann is the best of the best when it comes to romantic suspense and she will take you on a thriller ride with Over The Edge!!

Flashpoint, I finished listening to a little while ago, and just remembered that I hadn't written the review, so I thought that I should do that while I still remember impressions that I had on this one. Flashpoint is a bit different as in none of the main characters are SEAL team members. Will Jimmy and Tess having both worked for a black op division for the government, they are more alive than either of them realize. Tess is a whiz with hacking and anything electrical and computerized, and is more than ecstatic at this mission, however despite her deep feelings for Jimmy, she knows having to pose as his wife will be more challenging than she ever would realize, for she is in love with a man that has a but load of secrets, that could never share them with her. So now they they are both put in the Terrorist Hot Spot they come to realize how much they truly care for each other. Flashpoint, is a intense and thrilling read, full of romance and passion with all the danger and suspense that Brockmann puts in her exciting novels. Definitely one you don't want to miss out on, and this author definitely delivers with Flashpoint!!!

Hot Target was a delicious and suspenseful read, that is knocked my socks off. Again with this series, I decided to listen to these on my Ipod, and I just loved this one. This is the second time I have read Hot Target, and I just loved getting into the story involving Cosmo and Jules. With Cosmo, has always been one of the SEALs on team 16 that has been more withdrawn, has great talent, but this is the first where we truly get to know this character, and I found it delightful to start to delve into him. Cosmo is one of my favorites out of all the SEALS, and those of you who have read Hot Target would understand. Cosmo is the kind of character, that hides himself more than not, but is strong and capable at what he has most talent in. So now we have a more of the quiet SEALs on Team 16, involved with a very famous producer with camera's in her face all the time. But Janie is not what Cosmo ever expected to see beneath the surface, and finds that he can't resist her, and finds himself falling for the stunning movie producer. Now to the other plot, involving my favorite of all the characters in this whole series Jules Cassidy. I have always been on his side, and Hot Target begins when he first meets Robin Chadwick, who plays a gay role in a movie, and starts to come to the realization that he could be gay, and that Jules excites him more than anything ever has. However Jules having been hurt before, doesn't want to be hurt again, knowing that he could easily fall for the hot actor in a flash. Hot Target is a sensation read that will pull at your heart strings, and lead you on a roller coaster ride that you will never regret. Filled with action, romance, and an intensity that will have you breathing just a little faster than normal, Hot Target will leave you in suspense until the very end!!

Hot Target is the fifteenth of the Troubleshooters series written by Suzanne Brockmann. The way that I read this one was through audio, and is the usual form of reading I do for Brockmann's books, especially the Troubleshooters series. I have just loved being able to get into these wonderful stories. Hot Pursuit begins with Alyssa Locke and her husband Sam Starret get involved in this story. Where they are to protect a important political figure and her staff, after receiving some serious threats, and this being a close friend to Savannah who is married to one of the SEALs on the Troubleshooters team. Also joining the brigade is a close friend Jules Cassidy, an agent in the FBI and one of Alyssa's closest friends. However throughout this story we also see a couple other side stories involving Izzy Zinella and Danny Gillman, who are also on the Troubleshooters teams and SEALS. In Hot Pursuit, a man referred to as the "Dentist" has been haunting Alyssa and Jules for years. But when deaths start to occur that give clues that he is back, Alyssa has a feeling that she is the target, and that with her husbands and the rest of the teams help, to outwit the one who has evaded them since Alyssa got involved in his case which has been for many years. So hold on to your seat as you go on a thrilling adventure and see some of your favorite characters from this astounding Troubleshooters Series!!

I just love being able to read this book, it was such a wonderful one!! However this is not my first time being able to listen to it. I just recently started a challenge to read the whole Troubleshooters Series, and so this was the first book available so I started to read it "Audio" style. But out of all of the books in this series, Hot Pursuit is the one that resembles a Sherlock Holmes novel more than her usual romantic suspense plots, however despite that, it added a certain spice to the series, that I would love to see more of. It left me in suspense the whole way through, with surprises along the way that I didn't expect, even though it was my second time reading it. I also enjoyed the side stories involving the two SEALs that we have come to love, Izzy and Gillman, who have always been at each others throats for the most part, however we start to see their personal stories to come through, and both leaving me in suspense and wondering what is going to happen in the next book involving these two. I can hardly wait!! So if your looking for a romance with a thrilling plot, a mystery that needs solving, and few romances between some of our favorites, hop on and enjoy the ride that will take your breath away!!

The Unsung Hero takes place in Baldwin Bridge, Mass. with the main characters as LT Tom Paoletti and Dr. Kelly Ashton. I was very eager to start reading this book, I have read most of the series, but I finally got my hands on The Unsung Hero at the local library. Every one who has read this series, probably doesn't love Tom as much as I do. Who is the leader of SEAL Team 16 and really cares for the men under his command. In this book, it starts out with Tom having a serious head injury, he was in a coma for many weeks, and is forced to take a months leave to heal; because the doctors feel he is suffering from Paranoia. When he does return after the month, if he doesn't pass the medical exams, he would lose his command and forced to retire from the Navy. Tom knowing that is the worst that can happen, returns to the home where he grew up, and where he fell in love with Dr. Kelly Ashton. He knows its more than likely she isn't there, but there is still a hope that she may be.
Dr. Kelly Ashton is a pediatrician, a very skilled doctor. Kelly has been in love with Tom since she was 15 years old. She heads to her father's home, when she hears that he has cancer in every organ of his body and isn't expected to live longer than a few months. Her Father, Charles, wasn't ever a model father. For the most part he ignored her, never showed her his love for her. Charles asked for his best friend Joe (Toms Uncle). So Kelly heads over to Joe's house and finds Tom Paoletti instead. She is shocked to say the least, she never expected to find him here; when she knew that he is the leader of a SEAL team and thought he would most likely be on some mission overseas. With Kelly taking care of her father, and Tom living with his uncle for a month; they are drawn together again like moths to a flame. As their attraction and relationship develops, Tom see's a terrorist known as the "Merchant" within the town; he wonders if its really him or if its the paranoia that is getting to him. But when he see's the terrorist a second time at a store buying electrical wire, he suspects that he is building a bomb. He notifies a friend Admiral Crowley, who tells him he could lose his career over this if he is wrong. Telling Tom that he needs to relax and rest. But Tom knowing the risks, calls a few members of his team to come in and assist him.

I very much enjoyed this read, very stimulating and exciting. It definitely got the blood pumping with the sensual passion between Kelly and Tom; and the exciting mystery and thrilling sense of danger that sneaks up upon them. Its also filled with two other sub plots that draw the reader into the story. I found myself never wanting to put this one down, its one of my favorite books of Brockmann's, and of the Troubleshooters Series. I definitely wasn't disappointed in Tom and Kelly's story, and am happy that I have finally read it. It surpassed all my expectations, and its definitely one read you don't want to miss out on.
