Navy SEAL Izzy Zanella and his estranged wife, Eden Gillman, are set on saving her brother even if that means reconciling with each other to prove to a court that they can give better care to the young teenage boy. Just as their hearts begin to mend, the makeshift family gets caught up in saving another youth from a crime ring in Las Vegas and ends up with a group of dangerous men on their trail.

Say It Ain't So, Suze! submitted by emily on June 22, 2011, 11:45pm This book is great, natch, since everything Suzanne Brockmann writes is great. What I can't get over is that this is the LAST book about Troubleshooters, Inc. Or so Suze says. Which I hope isn't true, because I would really miss all these characters if I never get to read about them again! I just have to hope that Suzanne changes her mind and re-visits this world sometime in the future.

I'm also really hoping that Suzanne isn't going to waste her talents on writing something beneath them--like, say, a paranormal, or vampire romance. I can't even...just...no. Please Suzanne, ANYTHING but vampires. Though, I gotta say, the thought of an un-dead, hot, SEAL is kind of interesting, and if anyone could pull it off, Suzanne could. But I still hope she doesn't go there.

One area I hope she continues delving into is the same-sex romance, a la All Though the Night, and her latest, the awesome When Tony Met Adam. The latter is available on e-format only, and anyone who hasn't read it should hasten to their Kindle, Nook or what-have-you and download immediately. I think Suzanne is enormously courageous for blazing this trail of bringing the same-sex romance into the mainstream, and using her huge following to enlighten. Kudos for that.

But really, when it comes down to it I know I'll be reading WHATEVER Suzanne writes next. Because let's face it, anything by her is better than 99% of everything else out there in Romance-land.

Brockmann's books are always well done submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on July 8, 2014, 8:04am This was, as are pretty much all of Suzanne Brockmann's books, interesting and well-written and exciting and delightful to read. It wraps up two couples' stories that were left hanging (Dan & Jenni and Izzy & Eden), and Brockmann has said this is the last in the Troubleshooters Inc. series (so that she can go write some other stuff she's had brewing).

While it was very good (and I read it twice before returning it to the library), I don't think it was her best. All I can figure is that because she was wrapping up the whole series, you pretty much knew that everything was going to work out for everyone. In most of her books, she does a fantastic job of giving the hero/heroine their HEA (Happily Ever After) but all the secondary characters could face almost any future. With that tension missing, the book didn't have quite as much punch as they sometimes do.

The series is still *absolutely* worth reading if you like well-written romance, action, or Navy SEALs.
