LOVED this one! Sam has been one of my very favorites from the start of this series. Alyssa kind of drove me nuts for the first year of their relationship, but I was so looking forward to their book ... and it did not disappoint!
SO.MUCH.DRAMA in this one. The fallout over the events from the last book causes quite a bit of a dust-up in this book.
I loved watching put-together-Max show his human side in this one. It should be interesting to see what happens with him in the next few books.
Once again, the WWII segment is pretty amazing.
Bring on the Troubleshooters :)

Gone Too Far
4 Stars
Six months after the terrorist attack at the Coronado base, Lieutenant Sam Starret arrives in Sarasota to collect divorce papers from his ex only to find a decomposing body in her house and his daughter gone. With the investigation more focused on him than finding Hayley, Sam and FBI agent Alyssa Locke reluctanly join forces in the search.
This time around the storyline is set primarily in the present and the WWII thread is minor even though the details surrounding the attitudes toward the Tuskegee Airment are compelling. The present day plots focus on Sam and Alyssa's second chances romance, FBI negotiator Max Bhagat and former hostage Gina Vitagliano's doomed attempts to move on from their past, and updates on Tom Paoletti and Kelly Ashton's relationship.
While Sam and Alyssa's story has been a long time coming and their happiness is well-deserved, there are times when their bickering and deliberate goading of one another becomes tiresome. It is almost as if they thrive on their conflict and misunderstandings.
In contrast, Max and Gina's tug-of-war relationship is a highlight. Max struggles with his feelings for Gina, and it is great watching the stoic leader brought to his knees by a slip of a girl with more resilience and determination than all of SEAL Team 16.
The issue of Tom and Kelly's endlessly pending nuptials are also resolved albeit with some heartwrenching scenes, and even gets her HEA even though her character is still intensely unlikable.
This installment brings to an end the ongoing arc from the past few books although there are new directions for many of the characters. The next book appears to focus on a completely new couple and I look forward to seeing how Brockmann merges the new Troubleshooters into the already established atmosphere of the series.

Really enjoyed this one. Be sure to read Into the Night first as they go together. I think this is one of the best I've read in the series so far.

Loved this book! Sam and Alyssa's story was great. I love all the people in this series especially Jules. Loved it when he called Max sweetie! Can't wait to continue reading and being in that world.

Lt. Sam Starrett goes to see his soon to be ex-wife in Sarasota Florida to find her sister in the house dead. There is no sign of his soon to be ex-wife or his daughter. He goes on the run with Alyssa Locke to try and find them.
I didn't like Gina an couldn't stand her. I really liked Sam and Noah's relationhip. When I first read the book I didn't think I would like it so much like I do but after the first chapter I was hooked. Suzanne Brockman is a new author of me to put in my top list.

good book in a series but frustating that the character has 3 different names takes awhile to keep it straight

Other than a few times where I was like, "Uh, Sam? Shouldn't you be worrying about finding your daughter and ex-wife rather than hitting on Alyssa?" But still really, really cute. If you can call a book where things blow up and people get shot "cute".

This is where Alyssa Locke and Sam Starrett finally get together. I'm also happy that Sam's ex wife gets her own happy ending. When you get to know about her childhood, you would feel that she deserves it too, irregardless of what she has done in the past. Loving and being loved back has changed her for the better.
