Wow ... so much happening in this book!
I gotta say, I went into this book being a little bitter about Sophia's choice ... but I was totally on board once Decker's true feelings towards her actually came to light.
I was a bit surprised by who Decker did end up with though...surprised by totally happy with his HEA :)
The story ... holy cow, what a wild ride! The scene's with Sam and Nash were awesome. It was great to see Nash getting to a point where he can be happy with Tess.
Dave ... wow!! It was great to see his true CIA side come out in this book.

Dark of Night
5 Stars
Following the attempt on Jimmy Nash's life, only a select group of people know that he is still alive, and Troubleshooters team leader Lawrence Decker plans to keep it that way in order to expose those who want Jimmy dead. But Deck's best-laid plans are for naught when Troubleshooter receptionist, Tracy Shapiro, follows the clues and discovers the truth. Now Deck and Tracy must evade the rogue agents willing to do anything to find Jimmy, even torture and kill his closest allies.
***Spoilers ahead***
Once again, Brockmann focuses on three different couples - Sophia and Dave, Tracy and Deck, and Nash and Tess.
The ongoing angst fest of Sophia and Decker's non-existent relationship is finally resolved as circumstances force her to confront the truth of her feelings for Deck and realize that the man she really loves has been right there all along.
Tracy and Deck are a surprisingly perfect match for one another. Tracy is much more than the seemingly shallow, selfish, and stupid receptionist from the beginning of Into the Storm. She is, in fact, intelligent, resilient, and compassionate. Not only is she the only one to deduce that Jimmy is alive, but she also sees the vulnerable and lonely person behind Deck's façade. She is fearless, doesn't allow Deck to wallow in his self-imposed misery, calls him on his bullshit, and treats him as a man, not a legend. He is, therefore, able to let down his guard, be himself and let her in. It is really adorable!
Lastly, Tess and Nash overcome the issues that have threatened their HEA. The revelations are difficult, but together they can handle all obstacles.
The mystery surrounding those responsible for the attacks on Jimmy, Dave and Deck is gripping from the start (although the prologue did have me waiting for the other shoe to drop), and there are some excellent action-packed scenes. It is particularly gratifying that the villain is ultimately brought down by the woman he underestimated.
Overall, the closure to several ongoing relationships and the gripping suspense plot make this one of the best installments in the series. Kudos to Brockmann for keeping us engaged with her characters from one book to the next.

Great action/romance. Everyone believes James Nash is dead and those who know the truth find themselves struggling to stay alive.

The romance and suspense continues in Suzanne Brockmann's latest Troubleshooters title. When we last left the group, all were recovering from the news that Jimmy Nash had been killed, except the chosen few that knew his death was a cover up. Now, Jimmy is being moved to a safe house and the search is on for who is trying to kill him (and get to him through anyone who knows him). Several characters from past novels appear (Jules, Sam, Alyssa, Lindsey, etc.) and the main couples this time are Jimmy/Tess, Sophia/Dave, and Tracy/Decker (which I never saw coming - but love them together!).
I very much enjoyed this novel! It is too bad that I finished it already!

Loved, loved, loved how things worked out for Dave & Sophia, but I just didn't get Deck with Tracy at all.

Dave is a dick. Sophia deserves better. Nash is also pretty terrible. That being said, Tracy was awesome. I like her and Decker. And any book with Jules Cassidy (and Robin and Sam and Alyssa) is a good book. Plus, explosions, stabbings, shootings, and all the other fun, ridiculous spec-ops stuff.

When Nash gets injured, in order to find those that are after him, Decker and Tess decide to fake his death, so it looks like Nash is truly dead. Nash is sorely injured and must take some time to recover before he can go out searching for those that want him killed. So with Jules Cassidy and his husband Robin's help, they conceal Nash to a safe location that is more like a fortress than anything else. But when Decker goes to Tess and Jimmy's apartment to collect some of Nash's things, he comes across Tracey Shapiro, the receptionist for Troubleshooters, only she has figured out that Jimmy Nash is still alive, and knowing that he can't afford to let her go, he plans on bringing her to the safe house, and basically hold her prisoner until the situation can be resolved. But what Decker never thought would happen is that he would find the attraction between him and Tracey to be quite explosive. Everyone else that Decker works with treats him like a God, invincible, but Tracey, doesn't. Tracey, opinionated and stubborn fights with him every chance she gets, and he finds her irresistible to resist, and knows he is falling head over heels in love with this one woman that undermines all her defenses when it comes to finding happiness, despite the danger circling around them.
Dark Of Night we have the appearance of Nash, Decker and Tess Bailey. After being nearly killed and his fiancee put in danger, he knows he needs to find those who are after them at any cost, despite the fact that he is severely injured. But he also knows that he must confide in Tess over what he has truly done in his past, but is afraid that she will hate him for his past actions, and their love will be put to the test. Decker refuses to let more than a handful of people know that Nash is truly alive, so that they can find those that are out to assasinate him. But when he comes across Tracey Shapiro, he wonders if the enemy has also figured out the truth. But the more time he spends with Tracey, the more he realizes that she is more than she seems. Beautiful, smart, and able to get to the heart of him, he knows she is everything he could ever expect to find, and the key to his happiness that has always eluded him for many years. Dark of Night is the fourteenth in the Troubleshooters series, and I have found the Suzanne Brockmann just keeps getting better the more of the books that she writes, and I just loved being able to see Nash and Tess in Dark of Night, and see what happens when the truth comes out and how strong their love can be throughout the most hardest of trials that will test their love.
